I was in GR for a conference with several colleagues this week and we had dinner at Bobarino's on our last night there. Service was fabulous (Brenna and Colin). Food was enjoyed by all of us. No complaints!

My friend and I went to The Bob for the first time after attending The Who concert at Van Andel arena. The ambience was very cool, we had fast and efficient service and delicious pizza. I would definitely return to The Bob for food and drinks again the next time I am in Grand Rapids.

"Rip" the bartender was a little better than fantastic. He recommended beers and food and sold it to us as though he was truly prideful of his job. I love feeling that customer care is still alive as a focal point in the service industry. Beer was solid. Food was great! Service was masterful!
