    Dirt vent hanging over my table and food
    Wendy J.

    Where to begin. We live relatively close to this establishment so my husband and I decided to give it a go. Bad idea. People who call this place a dive are absolutely correct. The entire place is a nightmare. The restaurant is painted maroon with red and green Christmas lights. I could barely see- everything was so dark in there, however, it was probably a blessing that I couldn't really see what was going on in there. I ordered coffee and it was the worst cup of coffee I've ever had. It tasted like Luke warm bean flavored water. The coffee color was tan. Other posters stated the coffee was always refilled which was true- they kept asking if I wanted more coffee, however, I'm not sure why they couldn't see my cup was never drank from and still full. I ordered an omelet and hash browns. My omelet wasn't cooked fully which isn't great for a pregnant woman. And the hash browns were not good in flavor, but at least they were cooked. One yelper described the smell as "greasy diner smell". Thankfully she was able to describe what the smell was because I couldn't figure out what the smell that was Bob's diner was. Some say greasy, others say burnt grease. Just when I thought it couldn't get worse, I looked over to my left and was met with the dirtiest, dustiest vent ever. Hanging right over me and my food. See picture.

    We ordered delivery via door dash my friend said he'd heard good things about this place. I got a full order of biscuits and gravy which comes with a side of eggs and a choice of potatoes. Hash browns wasn't one of the options on door dash I could click so in the additional I asked if I could please substitute mashed potatoes for hash browns. When my order arrived My eggs were in the same container as the mashed potatoes, the yolk all over the potatoes and yolk spilled into the inside of the bag all over the spoons and napkins. I don't know who eats eggs with mashed potatoes... The biscuits and gravy tasted like it all came out of a can . They completely forgot my friends order of breakfast nachos . And the toast was burnt . Just an awful experience overall...

    All right folks, I gave them 4 stars for the food & service. That said, know what you're getting into Diners, Drive ins and Dives... this place has been around a long time and has never been updated. It's a roadside greasy spoon that gets it right. The portions enormous the prices beyond reasonable overall all a satisfactory experience. We'll be back.

    My first visit and I was not happy! First of all, their FB pages says accepts credit cards. Apparently they no longer accept them. My son, friend and I pulled up (not sure where the parking spots were). I immediately saw a sign about t-shirts for sale and that the t-shirts were cash only. It was in nice bold letters and in 2 spots! However, what I didn't see was a sign with smaller thinner letters saying they restaurant was cash only. There was 1 sign (not easy to see, especially when walking in with a toddler and talking to a friend) It was not posted anywhere else in the restaurant. It was not mentioned by the server. We walked in, the only customers in the restaurant at 10am. After we sat down, the lady brought a dirty looking fisher price booster seat. It didn't really fit where my son was sitting and he almost fell out a few times while playing around. He's 2, obviously he won't sit still. We ordered our breakfasts, received coffee (which the waitress forgot about refills even though we were the only customers there). Our food came out lil' by lil'. It was not bad, though my friend pulled a hair out of her pancake. It was inside the pancake and she saw it after she cut into it. They should be wearing hair nets! When we were done, we received our checks, pulled out our credit cards and the waitress then told us they were cash only. Neither of us had cash on us. The waitress called another restaurant owned by the same people that did do CC's, but they did not answer or were closed. I asked if she knew where there was an ATM and could not answer me. She then got very confrontational and defensive stating that there as a sign on the door. I argued that there was a sign about T-shirts that I had seen. She then pointed out the less obvious sign and said she would not argue with me. They didn't have CC signs on their door and they had not talked CC's for months. I told her it was my first visit and not a good first impression. We looked on our phones to try and find the closest ATM when she turned to us and said nastily, forget it. We won't charge you. I got my son situated and together so we could leave. She started to remark nastily that it would come out of her pocket. I told her that if the owner could not post it clearly and they didn't let customer know it was cash only (especially when their FB page says CC's accepted), then the owner should pay. I told her it was not clear. We then left and she continued to mumble and say it would come out of her pocket. She was not nice once after we stated we did not have cash. She immediately got defensive and rude. I was willing to leave my friend and son to go find an ATM. But she was NASTY! I left my leftovers on the table and left. When I got outside, I called and asked for the manager. Turns out, the waitress was the manager. Nice attitude for a manager. So I asked for the owner to call me. So far, no call.

    I could say many, many things about Bob's, but since living in Chicago for 5 years, I think I may have become a bit of a snot. The inside is not much different than what you expect from glancing at its exterior facade: tacky and tropical. The decor consists of bright colors, fake plants, and bamboo paneling. Three things makes Bob's unique among many other eateries in the area: 1) Discover your wild side with elk, boar, bear, llama, buffalo, kangaroo or venison burgers and skillets! All are purchased from a farm in Colorado and only $7.95. 2) The waitress Tammy is peppy, fun and attentive. Just meeting her is worth the visit. She's a hoot. 3) CHEAP FOOD! You definitely can't pass up their .99 cent Wednesdays where they give you a list of options all under a $1. Even not on Wednesday, everything on their menu is under $10 (including the steak and eggs). While I hated that Bob's is zoned in Racine County since the one room restaurant gets full of smoke with one smoking patron, the prices cannot be beat!

    All around great prices and food quality. Hole in the wall. If you're stuck on new and modern this place is not for you.

    This place is an absolute gem and worth burning a little gas to get to. The food was outstanding…read moreand the staff somehow managed to be both wildly efficient and genuinely warm, like they actually enjoy being there. I ordered the half garbage plate with sausage and bacon. Pro tip: ask the difference between the half and the whole before you commit. The half comes with three eggs. The whole comes with five. Five. I chose wisely. Oh and don't forget the homemade bread smothered in butter! It's clearly a neighborhood staple. People were greeting each other by name, swapping stories across tables, and operating like they've been meeting there every Saturday since 1974. Thankfully, they extend that same friendliness to random out-of-towners who just wandered in hungry. The vibe is energetic and communal, the kind of place where conversations overlap and nobody seems to mind. It has a modern, eclectic feel, but there's also a subtle time-machine quality to it. Like you stepped into the 1960s, just with better coffee and fewer ashtrays. Perfect blend of nostalgic and now.

    This place is super cute because it was an old train car made into a diner. There is so much eye…read morecandy around with funny signs. If you're a snobby person or someone with tons of food allergies don't come here. They are irrelevant in a very good way. I would stick to the basics here. My friend got the cheeseburger with fries and it was perfect. They have fresh meat, no frozen patties. I got the half order of biscuits and gravy with 2 eggs and it was perfect diner style food. The portions are huge so a half order was way more than enough. My friend had the roast beef omelette and I wouldn't recommend it because the beef was in chunks and was full of gristle. However, everything else was terrific. I didn't have the garbage plate because the portion was huge but it's on my list for next time. Maybe I'll split it with someone because you need to come hungry. Prices are very reasonable but it's cash only.
