However I am glad that you all enjoyed you meals at the Bob House.

Yosemite, the difference between you and I is that I have three kids under 7 years old.

Cooking a nice dinner with the kids running around isn't in the cards. It was a whole lot easier letting someone else do it and then they had to clean it up after.

I've been twice and really liked it both times. I hope they do well. I found the prices to be very reasonable.
Glad you had a good time.
Catching up with old friends is always a pretty cool thing...

Glad they didn't pour pepper in your kids plate!

Have not heard much negative since that early on alleged incident.

I suspect the folks there were most likely enchanted by Hazelnut's children - I know I was when I had the opportunity to serve them as they dined. His children are the ones every restaurant owner dreams of!

Awww thank you so much I am very flattered. You left quite an impression on them as well. "FREE COOKIES!!!"

As for "The Bobhouse," they had a ton of toys and coloring books as well as the card game UNO, I never heard a peep out of my kids. Oh yeah one more thing, they brought the kids meals first. Always a good idea.

Awwwww SIKSUKR I guess you just can't help yourself. As far as the Bobhouse, with all these glowing reviews I just might have to try them again. I promise to leave my kids at home if they promise to hold the pepper!!

Sorry Kona. That was a bit of a cheap shot. Apology forwarded.

Went to The Bob House for the first time last Saturday night, 04/24

We were seated right away -loved the atmosphere of the dining room, especially the big fish tank.
The Calamari appetizer was great, for entree my hubby had the Chicken Marsala (excellent) and I had The Tackle Box Sampler (also excellent),
Our food was served quickly and very fresh and we had plenty to take home for lunch the next day!
Prices were very reasonable - we will definitely return!

Went to The Bob House Sunday, late afternoon/early evening. This was the second time I have been, and I have to say, both times were perfect. This really is a neat little place, and I strongly recommend it for anyone who has not yet given it a try. Worth the drive from where ever you are on the lake.
We sat in the bar, and the service was great, the food very good, the prices VERY reasonable, and the atmosphere fantastic.
They recently added an outdoor deck, so now you can eat outside, if that is your sort of thing (not mine).
Also, there is now a sitting area, with sofas and living room type furniture. I think this is new, as I don't recall seeing it last year.
Anyway...I know in the past there have been posts that mentioned "iffy" service at peak hours, but I experienced none of that.
The Bob House really has a lot to offer.
By the way, I added a salad to my dinner...and it was much better then some run of the mill avarage dinner salad. Lots and lots of stuff on it. Give it a try.

Was up visiting over the long weekend and stopped by Friday night with my wife and three of our friends who were visiting the area for the first time. I grew up in town but unfortunately only get back up there a few times a year. Service was excellent! Even though they were quite busy, we were seated immediately and had our drinks/apps order taken within a couple of minutes. Waitress was very sweet and personable. You have to try the nachos! I'm very picky when it comes to nachos and these passed the test with flying colors! All of our meals and salads were delicious as well. Will definately stop in again the next time I'm in town.

There are not a lot of "pub" type restaurants around the lake, and for that reason alone, I like the Bob House. Beyond that, we've always had great service (we always sit in the bar), the waitresses are personable, and Kevin (the bartender) is awesome. Prices are reasonable and the food is very good.

I'm not sure how often we'll get there in the summer, as it's not a good "boat" destination, but I highly recommend it!
