Heavy use of additives and artificial ingredients. Even the server said that "lots of people complain about that", but she did not seem to think that anything would change. I guess there is room for bad food and enough people who accept low quality to support Bob's.

I have always like Bob's. They make pretty good food,,their burgers are tasty and fries are good as well. Other speciality items on the menu have always come out well. My wife gets these other items,,,I stick to the burgers. We always like to make it down to this downtown restaurant. The only drawback is that parking has to be... More

(This review is of the downtown Bellingham location.) I was wary of trying this place; smaller chain restaurants that purport to specialize in American food while providing a full bar usually leave me cold. My theory is that they rely on the booze to make ends meet rather than anything resembling a memorable menu. I ordered a spicy burger that... More

I feel like I'm going to have a heart attack after eating here. Trying to choose a healthier food on the menu, is covered with too much dressing.

We have left here every time feeling like we spent way more than we should have after the final tally. It seems to total around $40 each time which is a lot for a burger and a beer for the two of us. The food is good but there is always too much of it for us and we are... More

The food is decent. Limited to combinations of what the kitchen has to work with, the service spotty. Sometimes they are on it, others.... not so much. I go there if others we are with want to. Decent for kids (downstairs). The up stairs area, where they must make their money is typical college downtown bar. Note: that this place... More

We were looking for something good and something affordable during our evening out visiting Bellingham. While exploring downtown we discovered Bob's Burger and Brew. A great choice for our family of four. We were seated promptly. Very friendly, helpful service. Our food didn't take long to arrive after our orders. I ordered the Western BBQ Burger. It was a great... More
