Perfect place for my 250th review on Yelp. I went here to play pool and drink beer with some good…read morefriends after a buddy's father's funeral and wake in Columbus, Georgia. Bobby's Bar, located at 1718 Morris Rd, is a small cinder-block building by the side of the road. The place is a typical small-town, honky-tonk variety of roadside dive bar; very popular with the area blue collar workers and local bar flies. It's the kind of place where you can drink cheap pitchers of beer, play pool (or horseshoes out back if the weather is nice) and hang with your closest of friends. On the day I went the weather was nice and the smell of reefer permeated the mid-afternoon air drifting in through the open doorway leading outside to the backyard. Out back was where some local blue collar types were throwing horseshoes and celebrating the beautiful warm sunny weather breaking up the doldrums of the Winter cold snap. Classic Rock, Country Rock (and some 80s era songs that my friend Dennis kept playing to get a rise out of the locals) was continuously blaring from the jukebox inside the bar. Sadly this place does not serve food; that would have been interesting indeed. The bartenders were nice; however, when my friend asked if we could run a tab, the sweet lady bartender (who had worked the afternoon shift) nodded and then very nicely stated, "we prefer that you pay as you go." Best not to piss off the locals if you find yourself getting too drunk or overly obnoxious or cocky while playing pool or horseshoes. This is the kind of place where you might get your ass seriously kicked if you mouth off to or piss off the wrong person. Columbus, Georgia (like most military base towns in the South) can be a hazardous place for the uninitiated. Don't boast about being from Atlanta; folks in Southwest Georgia tend to be distrustful of if not outright negatively inclined towards non-locals - especially Atlantans. As long as you behave nicely, the locals will be nice to you; stop being nice and you will be in trouble. The drink coasters on the tables had the bar's logo imprinted on them and the logo states that Bobby's has been in business since 1961. I don't think much has changed with respect to the interior of the place since 1961. The walls are covered with old, brown wood paneling; the floor is covered with old vinyl tiling. The bathroom, though clean, features bare cinderblock walls and bare concrete slab for the floor. As far as dive bars go, this one is solid. Perhaps really deserves 3.5 or 4 stars. If you find yourself in Columbus, and feel like doing some drinking, you might as well go to Bobby's since you sure could do a hell of a lot worse elsewhere.

I had the summer salad (spring greens, cherries, strawberries, and a HUGE knot of burrata cheese, with an additional grilled salmon). This salad was incredible. Highly recommend! The table shared some deviled eggs. The pickled onions on the deviled eggs was so good. Everyone dipped their fries in the chili crisp oil and agreed it was one of the best flavor combos of the trip. Our server gave us an extra side of it and gave my friend a side of kimchi to add to his burger. Just great all around service and vibe. While the restaurant feels like the height of 2015-2020 design (let's road trip in our sprinter van to a shipping container cottage!), everything feels airy and good to be there

Later that Wednesday evening, as the restaurant settled into a softer, more intimate glow, we opted…read morefor the main dining room rather than the rooftop. The hostess was warm and efficient, seating us immediately. Our server approached with the quiet confidence of someone who knows her craft--she was direct, professional, and all business in the best possible way. Even as closing time drew near, she kept my glass refreshed without needing to be asked, a small but telling detail that spoke volumes about her attentiveness. The space itself strikes a pleasant semi-formal note--clean, polished, and respectful without veering into stuffy territory. Behind the bar, the bartender was meticulously wiping down every bottle, a quiet display of care that set a tone of genuine pride in the operation. We began with a dozen oysters: six raw and six char-grilled. The raw specimens were on the petite side for the price, yet delivered a clean, bright, and pleasantly saline flavor that let the oyster speak for itself. The char-grilled version arrived with a savory Parmesan crust that brought its own appealing character--rich, cheesy, and nicely caramelized in a way that felt unique rather than derivative. The crab dip, however, was a standout. Far superior to the often disappointing versions we've encountered elsewhere, this one tasted of genuine lump crab meat, folded into a properly cheesy, indulgent dip that avoided any unfortunate "buffalo" detours. Served with crisp crostini, each bite was balanced and deeply satisfying--an authentic crab dip done right. The Korean cheesesteak offered an excellent harmony of flavors: tender, well-seasoned meat beneath a luxurious blanket of melted cheese, punctuated by the bright, spicy kick of kimchi and the refreshing snap of pickles. It was delicious, though for the price, I wished for a more generous filling and a bit more heft to the sandwich overall. The mac & cheese arrived in a commendably generous portion, with a beautiful Parmesan crust on top. Visually appealing, the dish unfortunately fell a touch flat on the palate. The noodles were properly cooked and coated in a creamy sauce, yet it lacked the depth and seasoning one hopes for-- a pinch more salt and pepper would have elevated it considerably. The fish and chips presented a towering mound of fries that carried decent flavor but lacked the shattering crispness one craves. The real disappointment lay in the presentation of the fish: two fillets stacked atop one another, causing the steaming heat to turn the once-promising breading soggy and prone to sliding off. That said, the fish itself was excellent--flaky, moist, and delicately sweet with a lovely buttery quality. It was the unfortunate interaction between steam and crust that kept the dish from greatness. The roads were a little dense, so not necessarily my particular style, but I'm good. The butter that came with them was very unique to say the least. To drink, both beers arrived filled to the absolute brim and proved so enjoyable that I would gladly order them again without hesitation. Overall, the evening delivered solid, thoughtful plates in a well-run environment, with several bright spots that make a return visit tempting--particularly for those oysters and that excellent crab dip.

So it's always first come, first serve and everytime I've tried to come here, it's a 30 min wait. It took about 15 min for the bartender to offer us menus and give us waters/ask for a drink. The drinks were delicious though, I had the Paper Plane. The food was also surprisingly good. Even though there wasn't enough chicken on the chicken Alfredo dish, the sauce was delicious and tasted great. The burger and sweet potato fries were also good. I think if I came back; it would be for the drinks and potentially the pasta. I would be open to trying other things on the menu.

This restaurant had been hyped up on TikTok, so I decided to make the drive over 2 hours just to…read morefinally try it for myself. Both my lunch date and I came from out of town after seeing so many great reviews and hearing how good the food was supposed to be. The restaurant itself was nice and clean, but let's get to the food... I ordered the blackened chicken with mashed potatoes and mac and cheese. Unfortunately, there was NO FLAVOR. I even tried adding the salt and pepper from the table, and it still did not help the taste at all. My lunch date ordered the salmon, mashed potatoes, and brussels sprouts, and unfortunately, their food was just as disappointing. What really surprised me was that after we finished eating, we met several people from the area who talked about how good the food was. We had also seen plenty of positive reviews before making the trip, so maybe we just caught them on an off day. I was disappointed to find out afterward that they have a Sunday brunch menu with a lot more options, including dishes like catfish and shrimp. Even a table of older ladies sitting beside us mentioned wishing they served cornbread--or any type of bread. There were no rolls, biscuits, cornbread...nothing. Personally, I think offering some of those Sunday menu options every day would make the menu much better. I was disappointed after driving over two hours to try this restaurant, but I am willing to give it another chance. However, my next visit will definitely have to be on a Sunday so I can experience more of what the menu has to offer. Everyone's experience is different, and this just happened to be ours.
