    Patty Melt
    Kyle V.

    Dive bar with a decent menu, friendly staff, and cold drinks. As long as you aren't expecting something that this isn't, you'll be fine. They have a menu full of classic bar food options. The staff took great care of us and they clearly know all the regulars sitting around the bar. It felt like we were the only ones that didn't know everyone else, but by the time we left, we felt like part of the family. The food wasn't horrible but it's your typical bar food. We started with cheese curds and banging shrimp, both were perfect to share but don't expect anything fancy. The patty melt came out hot and it was cooked how I asked. The fries were crispy but they did cost extra since I opted out of the chips. Overall, not a bad dive bar with food and drinks.

    Gotta give it to James!

    Gipper's is quite the spot. Didn't think it was gonna be as cool as it was, but it was definitely one for the books! James provided super awesome service and a great ambience for everyone around. I really appreciate him taking care of us while we were there and I'll definitely be stopping by when we go back!

    This how the pizza came out

    This shi was the most nastiest burgers I've ever had and they got my order on five times. I came with a group of friends and not one burger was correct. The pizza smelled like a kitty hasn't cleaned himself in four weeks. It tasted like it. All the waiters were disrespectful and walked away when I tried to talk to them they even asked for a tip after this experience, we've learned to never come to this place ever again

    Did you know this place use to be a horse barn?! It's a big place and there is a semi private room to play pool. I've never attended but I know they do karaoke nights and they have a super long running happy hour. Seriously, it's all day. Today, for lunch, my bf and I ordered chicken tenders, potato skins and a grilled chicken sandwich. The serve was attentive. This place is what it's meant to be, a bar with solid pub food. You aren't going to eat the best pub food you've ever had, but if you are hungry you'll leave happy. The chicken tenders were ok; kind of on the dry side. Breading was 5/10. I ordered a side of sweet chili sauce which was really good. I'm going to try the boneless wings next time with this sauce. The potato skins are my favorite and I order them every time I come. They are huge and will fill you up! They are topped with ham, bacon, cheese and scallions. The ranch is amazing so just order a bunch and pour it on everything. My bf's chicken sandwich was decent. Again, the chicken was on the dryer side but I liked it. We dipped it in bbq sauce and ranch. The chips on the side were good and are lightly salted which I like.

We wanted to watch the playoff games that were happening that night and thought a sports bar would be a good choice for doing so. There were tons of TVs and the place seemed a little empty, but that could be due to weather. We had already eaten a delicious dinner and weren't really hungry but were down for a nightcap. We sat at the bar, the place was not busy for a Saturday night. We needed a waitress to get the bartender to even talk to us and take our orders, as our attempts at waving him down failed. When I tried to order an espresso martini, he said, "We don't have espresso but I could make you a coffee martini, but please don't make me go and make coffee for you". I've been on the receiving end of late night orders that cause you to dirty up appliances you have shut down for the night, but this order was at 9:30 pm and they closed at midnight. I decided not to order it since he stated he didn't want to make it for me and decided on a mocktail since my choice of cocktail was vetoed. I understand his response if it was close to closing time and I also wouldn't have ordered that close to closing time. I ended up getting a mocktail called the "Midwest Fog" and it was unique and tasted good but my partner and I were taken aback and annoyed over our encounter and treatment.

    I visited Uccello's during a work trip, and it really hit the spot when we were craving Italian…read morefood. The concept was a pleasant surprise, it has more of a sports bar atmosphere than a traditional Italian restaurant, but they still offer a solid selection of pastas, pizzas, subs, and other comfort food favorites. They also have a full bar, making it a great place to catch a game. We started with the pepperoni rolls, and they were easily the highlight of the meal. The garlic butter and Parmesan on top made them absolutely irresistible, definitely a 10/10 appetizer. For my entrée, I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo with grilled chicken. The chicken was well-seasoned and had a nice crispy exterior that added some texture to the dish. The Alfredo itself was good, but fairly standard and nothing particularly memorable. The garlic bread was also solid and complemented the meal well. While this isn't the best Italian food I've ever had, it was satisfying, reasonably enjoyable, and exactly what I was looking for that evening. I'd happily come back, especially for the lively sports bar atmosphere and those pepperoni rolls.

    I don't care how you justify it, it is wrong. I get that there are extra costs...raise your prices…read more Don't charge a fee that I have to calculate. I don't care it's printing on the menu. I saw it. I don't be back with your shady and greedy practices. Sorry you can't trick me with a sob story. What is so hard with charging the price listed for an item? Every other place does. Does the grocery store go "Oh man COVID really hurt us. We are taking on 5% to everything."? No.

    We've been here quite a few times, and our last visit we feel that they kind of fell from grace…read more 3 of us ordered 8 Oz sizzlers and all 3 were not the greatest. Meat was tough and had quite a bit of grizzle. Drinks were good. Our server wasn't the friendliest but did an adequate job. We will wait a while before going back.

Talk about DISAPPOINTED.... Partner agreed. Won't be returning. The food quality downhill, which is sad, since the Brann's family all but retired now. Different mgmt. running the place.

    I think they forgot the "b" in the name…read more Since we live in Ada, we were understandably excited to have another potentially good place open nearby. We visited not long after they went live in 2021. It was busy inside and the service was understandably slow. I got the "Homemade Chili", which was apparently made in a condemned home because it was barely room-temperature. I sent it back and had to press my case to get that bacterial culture of a dish taken off the bill. My "Garage Burger" had a bun that was so stale, it clanked when I hit it against my plate. My beleaguered waitress stared at me when I did this and asked, comically, "do you want a new bun?" Why yes, yes I do - preferably one that can't be sharpened into a prison shank, my dear. As the volume in the place progressively increased, I watched another family with younger kids struggle with similar food issues. The dad at that table looked at me knowingly with something akin to PTSD in his eyes and then he abruptly plunked down some cash and gathered his family up and walked out. I paid with a credit card, so it took me a bit longer, but we all left without finishing our meals. I'm not going to say that the food here is a crime against humanity, but I'm going to think it really hard.

Bob's Bar served tater tots with garlic herb cheese curds, house made beef gravy, green onion, and bacon bits. It was great! Felt like it was pretty much what you would want out of a poutine dish. I also got the Chicago dogs which is on their normal menu and these were tasty. I had been craving a Chicago style hot dog for a while and these hit the spot. They got all the toppings right.

Another nice thing about Bob's bar is their parking! They have a lot that is dedicated only to their customers right across Harlan Ave. Otherwise there is side street parking.

Nate and I stopped in last month to grab a snack and catch an MSU basketball game. It was also Super Bowl Sunday, so it was pretty busy even though it was mid-afternoon. We took a table near the door and had a good view of several TVs. The bar is pretty cozy, so it can get a little crowded. A server came over right away and took our order. I got the spicy dry rub wings and Nate ordered the buffalo chicken rangoons. The food took quite a bit of time to come out, but they were pretty busy with a couple large groups. The wings were excellent! I'd had their regular wings before, but the spicy dry rub was really flavorful with a bit of heat. I liked that it wasn't overly salty like some dry rubs I've had elsewhere. The wings themselves were crispy and juicy. The buffalo chicken rangoons were just okay. The filling was pretty sparse and they were a little tough. We'd definitely get the wings again. Note that they give a small discount if you pay in cash. Bob's Sports Bar is a low key neighborhood hangout spot to watch a game or catch up with friends. They have Keno, pull tabs, Chambongs, and daily food and drink specials. There's plenty of free street parking nearby and they have a designated parking lot across the street.
