Bobby’s Restaurant & Lounge

if you want a good time, meet amazing locals, eat delicious food, drink cocktails from awesome bar tenders, i highly suggest you come here. our experience was soooooooooooo wonderful the first night that we ended up coming here every night and twice on friday 5−20−16. the locals are so kind and fun. this was a true small town florida experience. thank you all for making our trip.

Bobby’s puts it all together. The Service, the Food, the Bar, and the Attitude all coordinate in perfect harmony. If you like eating off the back of a Sysco truck, then eat at the other 300 restaurants all called Tiki something and catering to the tourist. This One is somewhat hidden and I’m happy about that. Bobby’s is great! Their people are great!

Decent food. French dip gravy was awesome but actual roast beef was deli meat. Ribs were very solid

Best steak, waitress was awesome service was good the kitchen a little slow.
The bar is great there!!!

You be the judge. Ordered a caesar salad and grouper reuben. Asked about getting anchovies on salad and was told «we don’t have them.» Odd for a a place that fancies itself as the real deal and charges accordingly (e.g., grouper reuben for $ 18.95). Salad never came, but sandwich did. After the waitress announced the grouper reuben and started off, I caught her to tell her that the sandwich was in fact some sort of tuna melt and the ceasar had not come out (was suppose to precede the sandwich). She took the sandwich away and I told her I’d still take the ceasar. Some time later a grouper reuban came out with a smattering of cold sweet potato fries. The $ 18.95 sandwich was mostly cole slaw. The salad still did not show. When she brought the check, the waitress told me that she had «comped» me on the salad. I thought that was reserved for something that was actually served. Couple all of this with inattentive service (drink glasses sitting empty for 20 minutes etc.) overall, and the experience was a real bust. I think this place lives on past «glories» and as a drinking spot for a regular crowd. Don’t go for the dining experience. It is very disappointing.

I had a horrible experience at this restaurant. I don’t deny, the food was decent. But so it happens, that I am a tax exemption card bearer, which means, that I do not pay sales tax. The vendors are often unfamiliar with it, which is OK — you can always learn something new, if you want to. But at Bobby’s both the waitress and the bartender were almost aggressive, shouting at me and my friend that ‘everyone pays taxes’ and ‘this doesn’t work at Bobby’s’. They wouldn’t like to look at the card (issued by the federal government of the US) and listen to us at all. I haven’t been treated like this anywhere in the US, and I like Florida very much. It makes me angry and sad.

Overall, the best in Vero. Friendly atmosphere, excellent. There blackened salmon and prime rib are the best. If you never have, put Bobby’s on your list. No reservations, but worth the wait.

Every time I am in town I find myself eating at Bobby’s. Nice atmosphere, friendly service, great food. What more could you ask for? The burgers are delicious as well as a variety of other items on the menu. Definitely recommend!

Regarding the bar: Great spot to catch a game in a relaxing low key atmosphere. Friendly service and good bar food.

Always good at Bobby’s! this is one of our Staples since we have moved to VERO BEACH… the food is great, the service is good & special thanks to CINNAMON and Debbie. Nice new tables on the back porch I can recommend the hamburger (it’s is the best un VERO) and the DelMonaco steak sandwich, Parmesan encrusted hog fish or Mahi is fantastic

Terrible attitude — would not recommend to visitors
Please note– I will spread the word.
Food was below average.

The only reason there is 4 vs 5 stars is the strange atmosphere. The bar doesn’t serve food until 9 and the out side area has a separate menu (which was great anyway)
THE FOOD IS INCREDIBLE. My husband had ribs and I had the fish platter (mahi) with sweet potato fries and the veggies. Our server was Megan and she was seriously awesome. We were lucky to stumble upon this lovely place! Will be back.

Mediocre at best… shrimp scampi with frozen popcorn shrimp… everything fried… salad was all iceburg… loud atmosphere… maybe a good lunch place… prices were high… more like a red lobster…

Great spot. Been around forever. Good food. Large menu. Good location. It’s a casual environment but slightly dressy in the evening. Update: May16 their prices went up a little. Most of the dinner menu is now around the solid 3 to 3.5 dollar sign-​price, though there are still some good items for less than $ 20.

Where locals go to gossip. Insider place, full of regulars, with decent food and ambiance. Distinct feeling of being in a club. Grouper is reliably very good. Burgers and fries are alright, etc. Bar scene is often crowded, with an abundance of grey hair. Get the picture? One BIG issue: they don’t serve food at the bar until after 9:00PM! We almost always prefer to eat dinner at a bar whenever we can, dinner at a bar is a big baby boomer trend. So Bobby, please get with the times!
Also you’d do yourself a favor by giving the front door hostess — the older woman — some counseling on people skills. What a bee-​ach! She ain’t helping your business any!

Ordered their so-​called house specialty, steak tidbits, for lunch and it was gross! Tiny and few slivers of meat cheaply placed on a hotdog bun drowned in what tasted like instant gravy. To top it off, the hotdog bun which they are attempting to pass as garlic bread tasted like a generic spray butter flavored product that has been on a musty shelf since the 80’s. To add insult to injury, they charge $ 13.50 for this slop. The «dish» looks like something a mom would have thrown together to appease a hungry child during the depression era.
My recommendation, stick to the burgers!

Got the Bobbys burger for lunch and it was fantastic as usual. Cooked the way I ordered it, a true med rare. I love all that gooey cheese they put on it along with the mushrooms. Wish they would change the fries though!

Nice location
Nice service
Great ceasar salad
Great All-​American burger
Best burgers in town!
Fries are ok
Kind of a golf style restaurant.
No kids menu!
Really good food over all.

Average food, over-​priced because of the location. Beach side location is kind of wasted as there is no view of the ocean & outdoor seating is more of a porch.
No taps?! Sir, you have insulted me.
That being said, the staff is really friendly & prompt. Parking could be an issue in the lot but there’s plenty of street parking nearby.

Arrived 10pm after a show at the Riverside Theatre. Was told they serve food til 11pm.
About a quarter full, bar area packed for a bowl game. They had red leather booths, tables and patio dining. Quieter than most of the restaurants on the beach. More upscale attire here, no men in shorts.
Everyone in my party had sandwiches except me. I had a Caesar and Strip w baker n asparagus.
Service was excellent, food was good, drinks were strong.
Restaurant was empty by 10:30. Bar was still rockin when we left at 11:15.
Prices were reasonable, $ 26 for a steak.
$ 169 for 6 before tip.
