Always love coming to bobs. The cocktails are amazing the steaks are done absolutely perfect. Love the side carrot it comes with. Wasn't a huge fan of the Mac and cheese. A bit runny and just tasted a little cheaper than i expected. They kept the restaurant very cold which had my wife super uncomfortable the whole time. Staff was very friendly. read more

Great food, service and drinks! Neat spot in downtown Louisville. Steaks were fantastic as were the sides.

Where to start.... ...This was our first visit to a restaurant on our Louisville KY trip. Good choice. This is on the south side of the hotel (you can reach it from the hotel inside, or from the street as we did. The ambiance is dark woods, lush booths, and just good service. When we arrived, (we had reservations) we were seated in a nice booth and promptly greeted by Keara our server. The maître-d left menus and a darn good wine list. First off was a wine selection - my wife and I both wanted to order a filet, so I went with a red wine - which by my luck, they were out of. I selected another bottle - instead of a St. Supery Dollarhyde, we had a bottle of Post Parade Stretch Drive, which was great. While we were waiting for the entrees, Keara brought out a nice loaf of bread, and a bottle with "sour" pickles and peppers. We split a single pickle and piece of pepper. A better description of them would be "not sweet." They were good, but if you are expecting Sour Patch Kids, it isn't that. My wife actually ended up changing her order to their Filet Trio Combo, which had one filet medallion covered with Truffle Butter, one with chimichurri, and a pepper au-poivre sauce. She ordered it with a baked potato, it also came with a LARGE glazed Carrot. I ordered their 12 ounce Filet with a baked potato and again, a Glazed Carrot which was LARGE. The carrots were quite good, and the baked potato came with a slab of butter, and 4 cups with sour cream, bacon bits, chives and cheddar cheese (grated). Talk about kicking up a baked potato a few notches! The steaks were cooked medium rare as we asked, and were delightful. Very tasty, flavorful, and enjoyable. I already raved about the rest of the meal. Sides (if you order them - we didn't) are "family style" so they are large and sharable. The salads can be ordered in "half" order or you can split a salad. Service was very good, and the food and environment were great. This was a great start to a several day trip in Louisville! read more

Pros: excellent bone in rib eye, good salad, lobster bisque Service was okay and we were there for a bday celebration so dessert was supposed to be free, however they charged us. Also the smoked old fashion should come with a warning that it is close to $50. 4 ppl and only 1 drink = $400 read more

Bob's Steak & Chop House - Louisville - Every dish comes with their glazed carrot. - Steakhouses Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

I don't think a steak arrived to our table at the proper temp. The sides are shareable which was good. The food was good but the centerpiece being a high priced steakhouse and not nailing temps is extremely off putting. Could have been I went in under extreme high praises... I'll always try places twice so I'll update it after my second trip if anything changes. read more

So good! Decided to have a little Christmas date night that started here at Bobs for dinner. Classy spot / fine dining / top notch service. My boyfriend had the Prime Ribeye and I had the appetizer scallops with a side of asparagus. Both were wonderful and hit the spot. Service was good and timely. We parked on the street near the hotel. Since this was winter and we had coats, the hostess stand took our coats and hung them in their closet as a convenience rather than us taking them to our table. PS - I saw something in a review or two about "no hats" but there was someone across from us wearing a ballcap. read more

Lovely restaurant with a sports theme. We had a reservation on a Tuesday night while in town for business. We were greeted and seated promptly. We came in from the street so there are steps, but if you come in from the Omni Hotel there are no steps. Bathrooms are near the entrance/hostess and are gender-based. Malaya was our server and she was fantastic - sweet, good sense of humor, and she knows what's up. She was attentive without being intrusive and gave solid recommendations, especially on their homemade desserts. I believe they bake their bread - it was fresh & warm with a crispy outside (which made lots of crumbs) and soft inside - served with a thin slab of butter. It was delicious but messy. There are glass jars on each table with lightly pickled vegetables. Malaya told us that when Bob was a child, the half-sour pickle or sweet pepper would be his snack when he came home from school. We didn't try them but would next time due to the amount of food we ordered. We started with the shrimp appetizer and drinks. All six shrimp were perfectly cooked but the star (to me) was the house-made cocktail sauce with a healthy kick of horseradish - soo good! My salmon dinner was fantastic! I'm not really a potato person, but the skillet potatoes with gravy were outstanding. They were like fat potato chips, still crispy on the outside, flavorful, with a hint of salt. The gravy just kicked them up notch in my book. The giant carrot was tender and the glaze was a nice complement without being overwhelming. Hubby was not happy with his ribeye - he ordered medium rare but received a steak that was quite medium to medium well. Not to waste a good steak, he did eat it rather than send it back, but was disappointed that a steakhouse would overcook a steak (this is the reason for the 4 stars instead of 5). We really wanted dessert but were truly full. We ordered one huge homemade fudgy chocolate cake to go, with forks, which we ate later that night while watching tv. It was more than enough for us and we did not finish it even though we tried lol. When in town again, we would definitely stop back in! read more

Sometimes vegans have to visit steakhouses. Like when they are meeting with an important person for work. Or dining with colleagues. Or both. I found myself in such a situation recently, and it was with trepidation that I set foot through the impressive doors of Bob's Steak & Chop House. I needn't have worried. Although the menu itself is limited in regards to plant based options, if one asks, one receives. Once I inquired about the ability to create a vegan entree our server promptly enlisted the assistance of the kitchen. The chef himself visited our table to discuss not only my dietary needs, but also my personal food preferences, stating, "I don't just want to give you vegetables; I want to make something special that you will love." He did. I immensely enjoyed a glorious entree of beautifully seasoned quinoa topped with a variety of expertly prepared vegetables. The house made pickles and bread are also vegan and very delicious. Although I would not choose to visit Bob's on my own, I am now very confident that this is a place anyone can feel welcome and cared-for, regardless of whether they enjoy plants, animals, or even just a really good pickle. read more

I ate here twice while in Louisville for work, staying at the Omni. The sourdough bread they serve is so good! The first night I had the lamb chops which came with their smashed potatoes and standard glazed carrot. The bartender hooked me up with a strong and tasty margarita. Everything was excellent and Antoinette my server was sweet and attentive. The second night I was dining by myself again so the host stuck me at a table right by the kitchen, along the walkway to get further back, so I was seen by everyone who came in. I asked to move but he said they were booked. I felt stared at and wasn't happy about this. In being there for over an hour, noted several open tables in various more desirable areas so I was not happy about that. I had the mixed greens salad, seared scallops and the shrimp platter with 3 different styles of shrimp. Everything was excellent and Nate my server was great. If they didn't treat me inferior for dining alone, 3 stars would have been 4. read more

Wow. From the apps to the entrees, the service and the set up is great. Very good and we really enjoyed it.

Service was excellent, great job Nate! Food and drinks were just delicious and such a beautiful atmosphere. Would definitely dine here again. read more

If you are into mid steak with little to no flavor, this is your place. Next time I visit Louisville, I'll visit Eddie merlots or another steak house. Atmosphere was pretty dead for a Friday night. Service started off good but then really drifted off as the evening progressed. Could really learn how to prepare and cook a steak. Cocktail was solid! A++ read more

Antionette met us with a smile, warm bread and jar of pickles. service was incredible, the steak and those yummy carrots were the best. For no reason I haven't eaten a steak in years and it was made perfect to my liking. We are just in town for few days but we will be back and happy to be served by Antionette again. read more

Bob's Steakhouse is located in Omni Hotel. We sat a booth adorned with horse straps and decorative pillows. The ambiance is elegant and it's not overly noisy. Each table starts with red peppers and cucumbers jarred. They're pickled for about five days, so they're still crunchy. There's also bread and butter for the table. For my entree, I ordered a prime filet mignon. Meals are served with a glazed carrot and choice of potato. I chose the smashed. I also ordered a half-size bleu cheese salad. The steak was phenomenal. It was one of the, if not the, best filets I've had in Louisville. The sear was superb. It had a slight crunch to the outside and the inside was perfectly pink. The entire meal was top-notch. The service was stellar. Valet parking is really necessary, but they do validate your parking in the restaurant. If you're looking for a steakhouse, Bob's won't disappoint. read more

Absolutely loved Bob's. I hold every steakhouse standard to my favorite one, Peterson's, on the northside of Indianapolis. This was very close behind, if not tied. They start with bell peppers and pickles in a jar of garlic saltwater brine, so fun and unique, and they gave us bread without having to ask (love). We passed on any apps, since they are mainly seafood and it wasn't the vibe for the evening. My sister and I both got the filet, medium and medium rare. My medium was cooked to perfection (hers was too, she just learned she's actually not a rare fan, because most places overcook it). I got the smashed potatoes, which were yummy and garlicky and a very healthy portion, and my sister got their fried potatoes with gravy (delicious and again, unique). My dad got the shrimp scampi which again, a very healthy portion, and it was delicious. Each entrée comes with the side of "glazed carrot", which I thought was a typo, but it's literally just one big carrot lol- but it was delicious! We got the crème brulee for dessert, which was delicious and creamy!! George was our server and he was wonderfully attentive, very likeable, and checked on us all night! If I ever find myself in Louisville again, I will definitely return!! read more

We decided to try Bob's for our anniversary this year as we wanted something new. We had heard mixed reviews from friends about Bobs but I'm glad we finally decided to try it for ourselves. We had a reservation and we were seated as soon as we arrived which I appreciated. It's kind of a pet peeve of mine when you have to wait to be seated even though you have a reservation. I know sometimes it's out of the restaurants control but it is preferable if they're able to keep things moving well enough that reservations don't have to wait. The first thing that we noticed when we arrived was how friendly everyone was. The hostess to the server and the food runners were all exceptionally welcoming. The restaurant itself was very pretty and was the perfect setting for a nice date night. It wasn't too loud which was great for conversation. We each started with an appetizer, I had the Crab Cake and my husband had the shrimp cocktail. My crab cake was delicious with huge chunks of lump crab and a nice honey mustard sauce on the side. The shrimp cocktail came with 5 huge shrimp which my husband thoroughly enjoyed. Next we each had salads, Caesar for my Husband and the mixed greens for me. Mine was awesome. It had goat cheese, apples, dried cranberries, spicy candied pecans and a champagne vinaigrette. We both ordered steaks and both were perfectly cooked. I liked the nice hard sear on my filet. I chose the fried potatoes with pepper gravy and my husband chose the mashed potatoes and we both agreed that I made the better choice. The mashed potatoes were fine but the fried were delicious. Both steaks came with their signature glazed carrot and that was to die for. I know it seems odd to some to have a jumbo carrot on the plate but the marinade and glaze on them is fantastic. I really like that the steaks come with both the carrot and a potato option. For dessert we were given a complimentary chocolate peanut butter brownie sundae which was great and a very nice treat for our anniversary. The cocktail I had was also really delicious. We would definitely visit Bob's again for another meal or even just cocktails! read more

The cute pickle jar to start your meal was a pleasant snack. The fresh made bread was a nice complimentary touch. Filet minion was perfectly cooked and very flavorful. Loved the broccolini as well. Antoinette was our server and was very attentive and always coming back to refill our drinks. Our friend stated it was the best Caesar salad she ever had. Would highly recommend! read more

This steak house is located in the beautiful Omni Hotel. The moment you walk in you know you are in a traditional high end steak house. We were greeted immediately, and the manager made sure we were seated promptly. The wait staff was polite and well trained. The food arrive quickly. Well, we are from California and when a jar of pickles was placed on the table, I wanted to eat it, my wife scolded me to make sue I don't eat the table decor. The waitress assured it is indeed an appetizer, lightly pickled with Bob's family recipe. I ate one and it is absolutely delightful. We ordered the crab cake appetizer, my wife was shocked it's real crab meat and she thought the mustard dressing was delicious. I ordered the ribeye. It is a very special cut of beef with decadent marbling, very rich in flavor. It is a steak lover's dream. And they are not afraid to season the food here and I loved it. I politely declined to try my wife's salad topped with salmon. When the waitress offered desert menu, I had the correct answer yes, for my wife's benefit. We were both in shock when a massive, I mean 2 pounds, slice of cake came to the table. It was moist and delicious but there is no way we can fish this. We are overall extremely satisfied and I would absolutely recommend it. Price wise it is in line with a high end steak house. read more

First time to a Bobs. Honestly, in the world of steakhouses, it was mid. I've been to plenty through my life. Skip the calamari. The pieces were small and overcooked. I had a tomato and mozzarella salad: fine, nothing notable either way. The beef was average, I had a NY strip. I've had better at lower priced chain restaurants. The bernaise sauce was watery and flavorless. Service was on point, no concern there. Location worked for the group I was with. If I were to have to go to a steakhouse in Louisville, I'd try somewhere else. read more

Great place to eat, the atmosphere was warm and charming, the service was great, we were seated fast, food came out in order, was a very good wedge salad, and the steaks, out of this world, we had just came back from Las Vegas and ate at Gordon Ramsay's steak house, we the steak at this steak house was much better, had lots of flavor, cooked to perfection, now it received a 4 star for one reason, what is up with this carrot?, it was just weird, it had good flavor, a bit to hard, and way too big, see the pictures, other then that great place read more

We were visiting the area from out-of-state and wanted to try a high-end steakhouse. Wow did we pick a winner! Made reservations and were greeted very warmly upon our arrival. They addressed us by name and seated at a great table. Service was top notch and food was amazing. Since traveling, I was trying to eat a bit healthier so they did not use as much sauce and got my potato plain but still the presentation was beautiful and everything tasted magnificent. My friend got a steak and I tried a bit, not much of a meat eater but I could have eaten the entire steak. Will definitely come to Bob's if I'm ever in the area again, highly recommend read more

The best reason to stay at the Omni in Louisville is easy access to Bob's. But don't stay away if you are a local or staying elsewhere, the steaks here are superb. I got a wedge salad and a bone in cut, I believe a filet, I think the 12 oz, rare, of course. It was superb, full of rich, beefy flavor, some of the best steak I've had. For dessert I had the chocolate cake and it was delicious. Would definitely order again. The wine list was mostly California Cabernet, so I asked my server to recommend me something that had some old world heft, with earth and tobacco notes, rather than a new world fruit bomb. They picked out a 2015 super Tuscan beauty, Valadorna, which fit the bill perfectly. You should try it if you like Bordeaux over California Cab. Cocktails are solid, service was very friendly, the atmosphere is old school steakhouse, and the experience was flawless. I would definitely eat here again when I return to Louisville. read more

Had dinner here on our last night in Louisville while staying at the Omni. It was an eerily quiet Thursday night and we were one of the only guests in the restaurant. This didn't damper our experience at all though. The service was great and extremely attentive. The lobster bisque was some of the best i've ever had. I had the lobster tail with creamed corn for dinner and my husband had the filet mignon with mashed potatoes. Both dishes were cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious. I especially loved the glazed carrot accompaniment. We were so full, we skipped dessert, but would absolutely come back next time we're in town! read more

Highly disappointed in everything. Service was awful. I'm talking... our waitress was straight up RUDE. Awfully rude. I was taken aback when she responded to me with such disdain and such an attitude that I almost got up and left. The ribeye was less than desirable. The only thing that was worth it were the skillet fried potatoes. Will not be back ever. read more

It's just "ok" And for a high end restaurant it needs to get better. Yes, the service was fine! But all the food was just "ok". We had quite a few different things and nothing jumped. I'd take a hard pass and go to another steak place in town. As a benchmark, I'd rather go to a Ruth's Chris ! read more

Everything was perfect Great food, great service competitive prices. They aim to please

I am so glad I settled on spending time with Good ole Bob. Service was excellent. Ambiance and decor- superb. The old flag, with 48 States- a most enjoyable historical touch. And the food? Delectable. Dessert? The carrot cake is heavenly. It is not often you have a dinner experience where all your expectations are met. Partly because we, ourselves, often leverage unrealistic expectations. Well in this case, Bob pulled it off. All expectations met. In the spirit of the Mortal Combat reboot: Flawless Victory! read more

I made a reservation on 11/2/2021 for 8:15pm. I arrived at the Omni Hotel at 7:55pm and I was greeted by the valet attend. He handed me a parking receipt and advised me to get it stamped before leaving the restaurant. If not, parking would cost me $27. Since I was early, I decided to visit the Speak Easy and have a tasty beverage. The Speak Easy had a comfortable fee, amazing decor with plenty of seating, a bowling alley and I nice size bar that could seat about 8 people. I ordered an Old Fashion w/Maker's Mark. To my surprise, my glass arrived half full. The drink was just ok, nothing special but definitely not worth the $18. After finishing my dixie cup size drink, I headed over to the dinning area to be seated. The host was really kind and professional and he walked me to my table upon my arrival to the host stand. It took a little time for my waiter to arrive at the table to greet me. Maybe 8 minutes. Once he arrived, he walked me through the day's special. I ordered another Old Fashion w/Maker's Mark, a caesar salad w/crumbled Blu cheese (on the side), Ribeye Pittsburgh seared medium and the Smashed potatoes. The salad took a little time to find its way to the table. The crumbled Blu cheese was not on the side and the caesar salad was just ok. Nothing special, more on the bland side. Several minutes (20) went by and I began wondering where in the heck are they getting this Ribeye from. After about 25 minutes, the Ribeye arrived to the table along with the Smashed potatoes and a carrot so big it could have been entered into a food serving size contest. The Ribeye was prepared PERFECTLY! Well seasoned , tender and juicy. The Smashed potatoes arrived cold and they had an awful gravy taste to them. I informed my waiter but we went back and forth on what I was tasting (me) vs his explanation of how the Smashed potatoes are prepared. After trading a few barbs back and forth, he offered to replace my potatoes but I declined. Those championship carrots had some type of maple glaze on them and they were.... Well, wasted. I finished as much of my steak as I could and requested a to go container. My waiter sat the container on the table and he didn't even offer to box things up. While boxing up my left over steak, I was expecting to learn about the desserts of the day but I got nothing... In summary: the Speak Easy is a nice comfortable alternative seating area but the drink prices are ridiculously over price for the pour you get. The restaurant dinning area was spacious but the room felt like a banquet hall that was set up for seating people to eat. Nothing special and not well decorated. The drink on the restaurant side was much better and larger in size. The bread was warm and pretty good, the salad was bland, the steak was awesome, the carrots were left on a plate and the potatoes were left to soak up the gravy or whatever they had in them. The meal was a welcomed experience for my traditional dining places but the drinks, food the service; at those prices, it would be hard for me to go back. read more
