Great food, both times I went there. The Greek style pizza was piled with toppings, and the gyros sandwich was packed full of what makes it great. I added feta cheese to the gyros and they did not charge extra for it. The heated bar rail was super nice. My arms were warm in the -30° day. read more

My first time in was tonight. Service was excellent. Food was great. I had the lamb souvlaki. The lamb was cooked very well. The salad was great, the potatoes could have been better pretty bland. Maybe some spices and some olive oil. The wine was good. Did I mention the service was great. Thank you! read more

Waited 2 hours to get a pizza. Waitress rude. Pizza below average at best. If you're in Fairbanks, don't do it, you will regret. read more

When we first walked in it was a little busy and got sat right in the middle of the restaurant which was kind of disappointing. But we got shrimp and crab avocado(not pictured) which was underwhelming and fishy but the Entree's were phenomenal. I got the rack of lamb and my wife got the seafood fettuccine which we both loved everything and the experience! read more

Really had high hopes for this place. Cheese bread appetizer was very good. The gyro was very disappointing. Tasted like nothing Wife's steak was ok but nothing great.. Service was good and place was spacious with a good vibe but not sure would go back read more

Wonderful! Food is very good! Reminded me of the wonderful Greek restaurants back home in Chicago! They also have a wonderful dirty martini made with Kalamata olives! Sooo good! Great service too! You won't regret spending a meal here! read more

Love their baked spaghetti, love sitting at the bar with it's warm handrail and the house merlot makes it a great meal

Bobby's is nice. But I'm a simple guy. I just wanted a gyro, not a 4 star experience, which this place is. I had the house Chardonnay and the halibut. Both were very good and would order again. The Pistichio and Greek salad were also very tasty. It's a very nice place to just pricey. read more

Great Greek food and service! The staff was exceptional and engaging, ensuring our dinner was a great experience!

Food was amazing, service was great took a bit of time but it was to be expected as everything is made from scratch. I absolutely love the atmosphere. Come early cause this place fills fast on the weekends! read more

Got into Fairbanks late and were leaving for Denali early. We wandered the streets looking for anything still open at 9PM. We weren't excepting much, but Bobby's had surprisingly good food and GREAT service. Up until we had crab at Tracy's in Juneau, my daughter said that Bobby's had been her favorite meal of the trip... this was compared to meals on a cruise with "iron chef" restaurants and buffets. Drinks weren't cheap, but we had a much better than expected first night in our Alaskan adventures thanks to Bobby's staff! read more

***** We had a wonderful meal and a great time at Bobby's DoWe are Greek and felt the food lived up to our expectations! Bobby's Downtown has one of the nicest atmosphere's we found in Fairbanks. It has a beautiful bar with lots of seats if you are on your own or just like sitting at the bar. We had a table for 4. The Service was excellent and we had a lovely chat with the Greek owners, Bobby and Rena Nikolaides, brother and sister running the place with Greek friendliness & pride! All of our food was delicious with generous portions but I LOVED my Filet Mignon Souvlaki the best! I'm so glad we ate here while in Fairbanks, it had such fresh food with tasty vegetables. read more

The calamari portion is huge, very filling. But not salty or savory enough to my taste, my boyfriend on the other hand love it. Their soup of the day is delicious. I also order the crab cake and it taste a bit waxy but savory and again great portion, I can't even finish it. The Stifado is good, meat is tasty, gravy is yummy, and mash potato seems fresh. Ekmek is a good desert for 2. It's like a chocolate cake but with wet sponge cake and dark chocolate. Sunset martinis is good, sweet for women. read more

I got invited to bobbys downtown for people who have no where to go for thanksgiving. I was so excited to hear this. For this is my first year alone. But when I got there today.. i brought my Bible, and a journal to write down all the things I'm grateful for.. and I brought my best and only friend.. my ESA service dog. Who is well behaved, and never caused problems to anyone. She is sweet and kind and loving.. Anyways.. I felt discriminated against .. the lady at the front door .. look like she was judging me cuz of my bible.. and plus she wouldn't allow my dog. My only friend.. that I have and wanted to spend thanksgiving with. In addition, I paid my last 12$ for gas to get there, just to not be welcomed.. I have no money for food. I was praying so hard to get a plate for myself, and share with my dog. Honestly broke my heart and I can't stop crying. And my thanksgiving feels ruined. I lost hope of going to somewhere for help. For a family I thought I would be welcomed In. But I was wrong.. I unfortunately won't be going there anymore. God bless read more

Every time I go there - I love it! Food is good. Dessert's nothing special. Ambiance done well.

Food was amazing. Little too much and I'm a big eater. I am a finish carpenter and so I loved the wood work in the restaurant. Very good ambiance. 5 stars because the food was great. Will have to say because I'm wearing working boots, jeans and a carhartt t shirt so the waiter payed little attention to me. Rookie. If he only didn't judge a table for what it will tip on the big check and take care of his customers, I bet his tips would go up. Don't judge a book by its cover. read more

Bobby's Downtown - Seafood Alfredo. - Greek Near Me - Fairbanks, Alaska

Always wanted to try this place since I arrived in town. Everyone talks about their food, so you know your boy needed to get some. Was super excited to get some Greek food and a gyro plate. Welp the tzatziki is really good, the gyro while flavorful, wasn't cut from a spitz and you could taste it was dry and reheated on a grill which made me sad. The potatoes, carrots and rice were pretty good. I was just looking forward to spitz cut lamb mix. Would be a four star rating, but... the restaurant had almost no body in it and me and the people in front of me waited almost 10 minutes to be seated and we were the only people waiting. Then it took a good ten minutes to take my order and another 30ish to bring me my entree, which I get at a busy place; however they weren't busy at all. Everything was gorgeous inside though. I'd give them a second try. read more

Best Greek food worldwide. Full stop. The four people I brought in (including myself) have eaten at hundreds of Greek eateries all over Greece over years. We travel the world and have been almost everywhere, most places several times. We came to Fairbanks for the Aurora. But surprise suprise....the best Greek food we've ever had is in Fairbanks Alaska (I'm as surprised as you probably are). That's four different individual world traveler's opinions. Hopefully that should come with some weight. Worth a flight Josh Gudwin (that one guy who produced Justin B's hit songs) read more

Bobby's is a cozy Greek restaurant with a well-stocked bar and a very comfortable dining area. Our waitress was so helpful in navigating the menu and wine list. We ordered a beef souvlaki and a lamb souvlaki. This was top-notch Greek food. read more

Excellent all around! Wonderful staff, tasty food. Tasty drink & sitting at the bar that has a warming bar is so cozy! read more

I'm going to go with A-okay (3 stars), while admitting that it really could have been better (2 stars). I'll assign a handicap for location and availability of resources, and add a bump for really friendly service. 3 stars. I don't know what I was expecting when our tour guide made the recommendation. All she said was that it was really good. We just wanted to sit down and have a decent meal. We got that. Bobby's is ... well ... ornate. Lots of gold and red and fancy details. White table clothes. The interior is dimly lit, and the bar gives off a nice hum of folks enjoying their drinks and each other's company. I'm told the bar menu is different (and somehow preferable - don't ask me I don't know) to the dinner table menu. The menu I saw was enormous. The wine list is long - by the bottle or glass. They didn't have my first choice, so I went with the "mystery" red. It was good enough. My friend had the greek martini - came with a couple of kalamata olives. Also good. He had a lasagna and I had the appetizer size spanakopita. The lasagna was good and we took half in a to-go box. The spanakopita was served with rice and this appetizer size was more than enough. Also good. I mean, not melt in your mouth, but what I was expecting with no surprises. For desert we shared a piece of carrot cake and it was not good. It tasted like it had been previously frozen, was not completely defrosted. The frosting was crunchy with sugar that hadn't been completely incorporated into the cream cheese and the cake itself had that slightly dry, seen better days quality. That's the only bad thing I have to say about Bobby's. The staff were very friendly, our waitress was wonderfully helpful and never left us alone for too long. The dining room wasn't too noisy and was comfortable. Prices were fair considering we were in the far north eating decent Greek cuisine. Final note - if you're with your family get the pizza! They have lots of choices, I saw one and it looked good. Pizza and salad and a dirty Greek martini to take the edge off. Perfect. I'll probably do that next time. read more

So I came in to order dinner 20 before closing. They treated me like a king. I even got to meet one of the owners. They all seem to work hard here to make sure this is a place that stands out above the others! The bartender made me an amazing Manhattan. I started my dinner with a Caesar salad and I asked the to add bay shrimp. No problem. Delicious! My main course was a special which was a HUGE piece of fried Halibut broiled in the oven with a creamy (!) honey sauce. Not sure how to describe it it. Very unique and unbelievably delicious! The halibut was soft, fresh and amazing! I also enjoyed the sides or garlic mashed potatoes and soft carrots. I will be dining here every time I visit Fairbanks! I may add the the restroom was immaculate. read more

So good. Bobby knows what up!! Food was great. Service amazing. The drinks were top tier.

Ate here for the first time back in January to celebrate my boyfriends birthday. Service was fantastic, and the owners were very friendly! My boyfriend was very happy with the steak. I enjoyed my dish but some of the baked pasta pieces had dried out where some was inedible, but the dish was still very yummy overall. I was so shocked by the carrot cake, not at all the flavor I expected and it was so incredibly delicious that I'd absolutely order again! Ambiance was very elegant and i enjoyed the music. Plan to come back soon and try some other dishes! read more

Our waiter was wonderful and it was nice to get some fresh vegetables for the first time in days in this fried food town but not much flavor. I enjoyed the fresh spinach with halibut and gorgonzola but the eggplant dip did not taste like eggplant, it just tasted almost like ranch so that was disappointing. The creamy dips were just very plain but all 3 of us enjoyed our meal and the restaurant was spacious. read more

Owned by Greek siblings who deliver some of the best Greek dishes outside of Greece. Enjoyed it so much yesterday we came back today. Met the owner Bobby and his sister Rena who made us feel like we showed up to dinner at their home and ordered the saga ski for starter (100% must) and the Lamb Souvlaki which was perfectly prepared. Ordered all the desserts and maybe we should have stuck to one because the portions were rather large. Nonetheless we ate them all and returned for some more gluttony today. read more

The food was soooo good! I got the halibut with a honey cream sauce. Not Greek and not what I expected to order but it was incredible. My husband got the lasagna, again, not Greek. But good with lots of cheese. We got a blueberry creme brûlée that was really disappointing after the amazing entrees, but hey, you can't win them all. The service was very slow because they were understaffed (as everyone is with covid) but very friendly and hard working. Ok, we went a second time and we were not impressed. We ordered seafood fettuccine to go (since the night before it took FOREVER). They said it would be 30 minutes, but when we got there it was another 20. I'm fine with the wait time, but let me wait in my hotel... just be accurate. They forgot the soup and the silverware. If I could give this a 3.5 I would. I rounded up to a 4 because the other night was so good. read more

I highly recommend Bobby's if you're visiting Fairbanks and enjoy authentic Greek cuisine. I had the prawn and scallops souvlaki, which was delicious. The desserts are worth saving room for, especially the blueberry creme brule. Very good and friendly service. Ask for recommendations, and they will point out menu options you might have missed. read more

We stopped here for dinner today and really enjoyed our experience. Service was a little odd, but nothing short of impressive. The entrees are pretty pricy but the proton sizes make up for it! We had the following dishes- Eggplant dip and pita bread appetizer: Wow! This item gets 5/5 because the pita was just thin enough and warm, perfect for the delicious dip we couldn't get enough of! Initially we only got 2 pieces of pita which wasn't enough for the amount of dip (good amount of dip), but our server offered us more. (am not sure if we were charged more for the extra pita) The eggplant dip itself is a must try! Entrees: 1. Lamb Special: served with Greek salad, potatoes, rice and special sauce and seasoned dinner bread. Lamb was delicious, it was cubed like a kebab but it wasn't on a stick. 2. Broiled swordfish: served with lemon chicken soup, rice, potatoes and steamed carrots. Swordfish was decent, we'd give it a 3.5/5 as it was okay but not as fresh as we've had elsewhere. But it was stated that the fish was from Hawaii so we don't hold it against the restaurant due to location. Being able to get swordfish at all is amazing. 3. Ribeye: served with Greek salad, potatoes, rice and steamed carrots. Steak was ordered medium-well and I'd give the steak itself a 5/5 for the medium-well, seasonings and size. It was a huge steak, couldn't even finish it. The rice is tasty but wasn't outstanding. 3/5 Potatoes seemed to have been cooked in lemon butter and was pretty tasty. Nice crust on each potato piece. Steamed carrots were wow! So sweet, the sweetest carrots I've ever tasted and I usually never like steamed carrots. Very good. 5/5 (we assume it was made with brown sugar) Greek salad 3.5/5, dressing was great. I was expecting more cucumber and tomatoes but the salad was primarily bell peppers which was new to me for a Greek salad. Not bad though. Feta was a little too crumbled but not disappointing. Seasoned dinner bread was tasty but we were all so full we only had a little piece of one each. That little bite was delicious though! Disappointing factors: First thing on the menu is a rack of lamb but upon ordering it we were told it would take an hour to get it cooked well. We clearly didn't want one entree waiting a whole hour. The idea of a rack of lamb sound amazing and I'm glad they make it fresh upon ordering but there must be a better way than waiting an hour for it to cook. We were sad not to be able to try it. We also initially ordered the prime rib entree but they were sold out. This was around 6:30pm so prime dinner time but I guess it's just that good. read more

Ever been to Greek Town in Chicago? Bobby's is, without a doubt, the equivalent to Greek Islands! (But the waiters her are not "rude" like those at Greek Islands!). Great salad, saganaki, spanakopita, and Greek potatoes! Waitstaff was great! Two thumbs up from two Greek Town regulars! Desert Rocked! read more

Bobby's Downtown - a slice of cake on a plate - Greek Near Me - Fairbanks, Alaska

Great atmosphere & nice service. This is where you go to sit a while & enjoy your meal & company. Not fast but yummy.

As a child, among my other admittedly-bizarre proclivities was a fondness for raw lemon slices. While the enamel on my baby teeth was certainly not a fan, I loved the sourness of pure lemon juice. Still do. I have always found most lemonades and lemon-based foods to be bland or just plain boring. Fortunately, the soup special when I stopped in here was an Avgolemono made the traditional way which doesn't give a damn if you can't handle the tart bite of an intensely-lemony chicken broth. I would be surprised if I enjoy any other menu items as much during the remainder of my visit here in Fairbanks. The waitress, who earned every cent of her 20%+ tip kindly took a few minutes to explain to me how the soup is traditionally prepared. Personally, I think it's a great sign if the serving staff can demonstrate such a thorough knowledge of their restaurant's offerings. Sour lemon soup, sweet service! The best of both worlds. I will return. read more

Bobby's Downtown - Rack of lamb - Greek Near Me - Fairbanks, Alaska

Another out-of-place place here in Fairbanks. A huge Greek restaurant in the middle of downtown. Why? Or why not? Anyway, the outside of the restaurant looks a bit like a fortification but the inside is inviting enough. There are lots of charming photos in the lobby of the owner/founder couple. A lot of family pride is here. No one inside is wearing a mask. Not patrons, not staff. That is a bit troubling. But we stayed anyway. The menu looks like the typical Greek restaurant but the quality is a bit of the food is a bit towards the middle or so. The Greek salad was ok. My companions ordered some fried fish and stated it was soggy. The spanakopita seemed a bit overdone. Not our best experience in Fairbanks. Not our worst either. read more

Nothing to write home about. Place is pleasant, we were seated in dining room beyond loud bar w live music. Our service started out ok but empty plates sat around. we had 4 diff entrees, ok food. each coyples bill was $50-55 before tip. we're just visiting in town so we have no local knowledge - skip Bobby's unless ur jonesing for Greek food. read more

Bobby's Downtown is primarily a Greek Restaurant, with all the Greek favorites like souvlaki, spanakopita, rack of lamb. There are seafood items, a good amount of salad choices, great selection of appetizers, as well as steaks and pizzas. There is also a full bar. I came in on a Monday around 5. Greeted warmly and sat right away at a nice little table. I got served water and a waitress, Kristie, was with me right away to take my drink order. Iced tea and lemonade, please. I have been craving a steak for the last two days so I knew right away what I wanted to order. I went with the ribeye steak. It comes with soup or salad, I went salad. The salad was served within a normal couple of minutes. It is a BIG salad. I got blue cheese as dressing. The salad was just okay, simple, the cucumber slices looked kinda wrinkly, and there was just a 1/4 of a giant tomato. The dressing, homemade. Kinda mayonnaise-y with extra lemon and blue cheese. So, not the best for me. I didn't finish the salad, partly because it was so huge, partly because it was just plain and boring, and partly because of the mayonnaise-y "dressing." The ribeye steak plate arrived in a normal amount of time and presented nicely. The carrots are fantastic; kinda caramelized and slightly sweet and tender. The rice pilaf was pretty bland, low on flavor. The potatoes had a lemon flavor to them, which I'm on the fence about. It wasn't a slight hint of lemon, just pfffffttttt, lemon. The steak was a very generous portion, cooked to medium rare like I requested. Perfect. The steak was very tender and juicy, and I enjoyed it, it satisfied my steak craving for sure. I'd say it was about 20% fat, but still plenty of edible delicious steak. After I was done, I was sorta forgot about for about 5 minutes too long before the waitress came by to ask about dessert. Yes of COURSE please, carrot cake. And a coffee. The carrot cake came out in the two minutes as did the coffee. As I'm writing this I'm wondering, who is reading this much?????? Good grief. Ok anyway the carrot cake was probably the best part. It was served with homemade whipped creamè. The cake was so dense and the frosting was, I need a thesaurus, super duper good. The atmosphere is very welcoming. You can dress up or down, and still feel like you belong. I showed up in my Carhartt's after work and felt fine. You could also come here on a date and look fancy and not feel out of place. The service is excellent, the staff is all very friendly and welcoming, and the food is pretty darn good. The vibe of this place is jovial, happy, almost rowdy I would say, but not in a bad way. Just a happy way of people unwinding after work way. Oh, and check out the bathrooms! Steak dinner, (with salad) dessert, coffee, and iced tea=$47 (without the tip) A bit on the pricey side, but the service and atmosphere make this a worthy place to dine in Fairbanks. Bobby's Downtown makes a fantastic effort in all the ways you expect when you plan on spending some money on a night out. I would definitely return and I would definitely recommend. I did not regret eating here. read more
