bob's steak & chop house

bob's definitely serves one of the best steaks in dallas and has a great atmosphere for a nice evening out. we started with an old fashioned and a cosmopolitan from the bar, both of which were fresh and fabulous. the french onion soup and wedge salad were a delicious start to our meal and the maryland style crab cake with honey mustard sauce was perfectly crispy with a touch of sweetness. oddly enough, the prime ribeye looked and tasted much more like a ny strip but our waitress swore it was a ribeye and it was still one of the best steaks we've ever had so we enjoyed it regardless. sadly, we were too full for dessert but i'd love to go back and try the brownie sundae. overall a great evening and i definitely plan to go back!

my petite mama can wolf down a steak like a man at bob's. the menu is solid and simple. what you're here for is the steak & bob's is one of dallas' finest. the decor is masculine with lots of dark woods. fabulous wine list. best of all, bob's is always noisy so bring your kids 😜

service is poor. the meat is good but not great. is more like tourists place.

overpriced, pretentious, boring. i think the only place this place excels is service to their usual customers. if you aren't pretentious, or have no standard of reference, this place might impress you. i found it boring. steaks were average and overpriced. will not recommend. do yourself a favor and try a steak anywhere else.

not a fan. bob's has all the right "ingredients" of a great steakhouse- the valet out front, the flock of personal waiters/busboys, a schmoozy crowd, and the best cuts of meat (no pun intended). but no expensive meal can feel "worth it" without two things- personality and personalization. personality- dear bob, you need one. even steak and potatoes can be memorable. personalization- when the time between placing my order and receiving my food is faster than humanly possible, i have to wonder where it came from.

great steak and banana nut bread pudding

loved it. when it comes to beef, i have pretty high expectations. thank you bob's for exceeding them.

the service received was imppecable. taylor you are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about your product. you are certainly an asset to the organization. keep up the great work. see you on my next visit.

fantastic service and a top notch prime rib. everything was super but they still allow smoking in the bar. other than that great restaurant and absolutely fabulous dinner. well worth it.

unassuming from the outside.... went here for a business meeting. i did not expect much as i have not heard much about bob's.

pro's: good service, tender steak, above average sides (the carrot!)

con's: unassuming exterior, dislike that valet is the only option, interior does not stand out from other steakhouses.

pleasantly surprised with the overall experience. the exterior and interior are really nothing too special. the interior does not stand out from any other steakhouse. exterior looks like nothing at all, could easily drive past without noticing the place.

the bread and appetizers were standard but very good. onion rings, calamari, and plain bread with butter. i had a filet for the main course that came with mashed potatoes and, believe it or not, the most delicious carrot i have ever tasted. it was steamed and soft but coated with some kind of glaze that made it outstanding. the steak was cooked medium and done right, very tender and flavorful. mashed potatoes were plenty good too. the cheesecake for dessert was your standard fare but plenty delicious.

i would have no issues returning again and plan to. vote a "like" from me.

yummy. place is great. bring your wallet though! excellent steaks. sides are kinda iffy but you are there for steak i assume. will return.

the waiters were rude and the wait was unbearable. i had reservations at 8:30 and had to wait 45 minutes till i was seated.

don't bother. my wife and i had been hearing about bob's on a local sports radio station for a long time, so we decided it was time to visit, as we live very near this restaurant. we looked it up on the internet, and made sure we were dressed right and made a reservation.
we got there a little early, so we opted to have a cocktail in the bar. we assumed we would be called when it was time for us to be seated. after 45 minutes, my wife went and asked to be seated. no problem. within 30 seconds, our server appeared and asked if we were ready to order. we hadn't even opened the menu. we made our choices and the fried calamari was excellent. hot bread and butter--you can't go wrong there. but after that...everything did go wrong. my wife's steak, ordered rare, was ice cold in the center, and my steak, a small ribeye, ordered medium, was just all over the place. not only cooked incorrectly, but the quality of the meat was that of a cheap grocery store. it was just a hot mess. my wife's steak was taken back by the manager to "warm it up". ???? not a good sign. the potatoes with the black pepper gravy looked and tasted bland--it looked like beige vomit. the only good thing on both of our plates was the carrot! we ended up just packing everything up and taking it home in hopes that when we re-visited our to go containers, it would be better.....not. the server was pushy, then aloof, and the manager even more. plus, we had dressed up for this night on the town, but the rest of the crowd seemed to be extremely casual....i am talking t-shirts and shorts! we felt over dressed and just wanted out of there.
the price of our dinner and drinks was over $150 and for that kind of money, we should have gone to ruth's chris, del frisco's, or even saltgrass!
it may have been the head chef's night off, but this was a friday night. but, this place is high touted and there is no excuse for this kind of poor execution of food. thumbs down for the grapevine location.

huge disappointment. had really high hopes of one day getting to go to bob's. finally did, and it was very disappointing. everything--the service, the clientele, the server, the manager, and the food. stick with saltgrass. i am serious. they have a beautiful restaurant, but i guess business must be slow, so they let anyone in regardless of their attire....t-shirts and shorts seemed to be their dress code.
and the steaks? really? mine had to be sent back and my husband's should have, but at that point, we had just had it. service was rushed at first, then non-existent.
we will never return. this is texas. there are steak places everywhere. good steak places. unfortunately, bob's isn't one of them.

yum!. best steak ever! the carrot is a little weird but everything else is perfect. the service is wonderful. wine is reasonably priced.

once again, this is steak perfection. period. great service, i mean, really attentive. perfect wine recommendation, bacon wrapped shrimp; unbelievable. prime steaks, perfectly cooked. best key lime pie ever for desert. unbeatable. if you have a problem with bobs, you have the problem.

the best!! you want the absolute best steak? this is the place. you want quiet? go to a library!! actually we had a booth, it was quite and quiet nice. a lady was complaining about the level of noise as we entered the place, she left for jr,s. that was a huge mistake. jr's is not in this league, period.
