Bob’s Burgers and Brew – Sumas

«When you’re starving so anything tastes good», is exactly how I would describe my dining experience.
I was pretty disappointed in how dated and grubby this place felt. Atmosphere directly effects the food experience. They have a few different sections for seating, and we were basically seated in this depressing 90s banquet alleyway off to the side, surrounded by dusty fake plants.
If they invested in cleanup and completely updated the interior to a modern shabby-​chic lodge ambiance, this location could be something very special.

Not like the Bob’s south of this one. This one is has a hunting theme (good for that area); it’s kinda dark in there even during the day. They were friendly, the food was ok. It just wasn’t what we’re used to from Bob’s.

Typical greasy spoon… Their Burgers are in my top 5. Sooo Good. If you are looking for a stereo typical American Diner… This us your place :)

My husband and I have been living in Sumas for 10 months. This Bob’s burgers is literally the WORST one I have been to. Alot of it is lack of experience with the waitstaff. I have counted 7 individual times when my food has been wrong. That is a tremendous amount when youve only been somewhere about 20 times! Terrible Terrible average. The last time I went there not only was my food wrong, but I called to let them know to get a head start on cooking it again so I didn’t have to wait as long. Well, after being back at the restaurant for 5 min, it took an off duty employee to tell them to drop a burger for me. It happened to be someone I know that works there. The first inital order I placed was at 8:00pm. By the time I received the correct order and I was back at home eating… it was 8:47pm. TO A RESTAURANT 5 MIN AWAY!!! Wouldn’t have been so bad if the waitstaff was more professional. The whole time she had a terrible attitude for HER mistake. What ever happened to get what you order and when its wrong… they make it right, My husband called the manager and after 4 days, she called to inform us that we werent getting a refund. WHY NOT??? Because youve had to refund my money a ton of times already? Train your waitstaff better! That’s not my problem! I wll never go there again and anyone that is traveling at the RV park locally, I will also let them know not to go there.

The food is decent, but the prices are a bit high for the quality. Our favourite though seems to always be the lunch special at Bobs in Sumas… always tasty, decent portion and reasonably priced.

Leaving one bartender to man the whole bar, and serve all the tables on a Monday night football game is pure torture! I felt so bad for the cute blonde (who I think pregnant) we waited 20 minutes for drink refills the food took forever to come, I seen a waitress from the restaurant pick up our plates and start to head towards the bar, then watch her turn around and put them back, exactly 9 minutes later the bar tender brought the same plates to out table, the fries where cold, we didn’t get tarter for fish and chips or ranch like we asked we were almost finished with our meal before she came back to check on us by the time we got the ranch and tarter we had finished our meal. I find it completely horrible she had no help with a full bar to take care of. Shame on you bobs!

Right across the border, it’s a great place for food. The looks great too. Not much more I can say. If you go to the U.S. Try them out.

Goods as advertised. This place makes a great big burger and has lots of beer.
my friend and i climbe mt. baker on our bikes, and parked in Bob’s lot for the day. we filled up on massive plates of fries and burgers here. cheap beers too.
very friendly service and some salty characters at the bar. good times all around.

Stopped off for some brew and food after a rather long bike ride.
Beer was cold and served promptly.
Menu is extensive, and reasonably priced. I wanted wings, which weren’t listed, but were available.
Let’s talk about the wings that showed up, shall we? Slathered in hot sauce, big, juicy, meaty, heavy. Not breaded. Just good, proper wings. Well priced wings I may add. We also ordered some fries, and they were salty, crispy, delicious!
Service was good, prompt, and friendly. Food came out really quickly, and the bill was accurate.

Great Food, great service from lovely young ladies. Awesome atmosphere. Had avocado, bacon, grilled chicken burger, w/​a salad, raspberry vinaigrette dressing. Its was a very generous portion at a good price. I would defintely recommend. Next time ill check out Bob’s Burger w/​Onion rings. It looked juicy. hope this helps.

What to say? Good food, good service from lovely young women. Reasonable prices. Rick and his crew run an excellent operation. We really enjoyed the Sunday buffet.

First stop after crossing back in the USA… good choice. Food was great, service was good, atmosphere was excellent and the prices were low.
I’d eat here again if we ever pass through Sumas in the future.

We really enjoyed our 2 day stay. We had room 7 and had friends in 2 other rooms. All the rooms had plenty of B+B rustic type charm. The rooms were super clean and we made a point of thanking our cleaning ladies. All the furniture in the rooms appeared to be antiques. The outer walls were actual logs. Our rocking chair was super comfy and squeaked a lot just like the bed. We had a nice little balcony which would have been nicer if our room faced the south. The furnace/​ac units were a bit older but they kept the room at a nice comfortable constant temperature. Old historic photographs line the walls of the halls outside the rooms.
The top floor had a very nice viewing room to check out the border and the mountains. Mt. Baker could be seen to the East.
The resteraunt downstairs was very nice and rustic. The food was ok but not spectacular. There was a nice and roomy bar adjacent to the resteraunt.
The Canadian border is about 2 blocks to the North. Not sure what the deal is but most of the shops, stores and resteraunts along the main drag have closed down. This is strange because there is a lot of traffic going back and forth across the border. This would be a great place to set up a business.
I highly recommend the Mountain lodge as a place to stay if you are in Sumas.

Bob’s Burgers! Weee! I thought for my very first Unilocal review that I just had to start with Bob’s Burgers.
Seeing as how I live in Sumas, but am constantly away in various cities for work, Bob’s is that place that just feels like home. I’ve been going there with girlfriends for years and years and I’ve never been disappointed. Well, except years ago when they had this one B of a waitress that ended up getting fired! Lol But yes, that was at least 5 years ago.
The wood building makes the restaurant feel really cozy and it’s always nice and warm inside.
Their burgers are amazing, so when I splurge on a burger (I’m trying to eat less fattening foods and stay in great shape), it’s gonna be a burger from Bob’s.
The Bleu Cheese Burger and the Aloha Burger (cheese, beef and grilled pineapple!)
are my go-​to items for sure, not to mention the cocktails! You with me, ladies? Lol
Like I said, those times when I get to be back home in Sumas after all the business meetings, hotels and airports, it is so nice to stop into Bob’s for some long time familiarity!

The food is terrific. Excellent quality and value for the money. The service… well that depends on the waitress you get. I’m a regular here and there’s a handful of waitresses that are excellent (Koby, Carla, the blond in the bar) but the also often hire a lot of younger waitresses that don’t seem to take their job or the importance of their customers seriously. This restaurant isn’t fast food, it’s a place ti sit and relax and eat a good meal.

I came on before my border cross. I didn’t expect a buffet, but I’m definitely always glad for a breakfast buffet.
They had a made to order station for your omelet and egg needs (I’d prefer to scoop my own eggs though) which is nice. They had sausages and ham for selection of meats, 2 types of potatoes, and biscuits. There was a hot plate of 2 types of french toast and some waffles. There was an extensive dessert section and fresh fruit. I’d say it was much more than I had expected! I had to take away a star because of the service — it wasn’t bad because there were about 50 people but only one waitress (she also had to seat people). I’d hope that they hire someone else… I could only get 1 cup of coffee.
Otherwise, if you’re crossing into/​out of Canada through here, I definitely recommend stopping by here for a wonderful breakfast buffet!
