This is definitely my Favorite Steakhouse in town, if you are going to splurge this is totally the place to do it! My boyfriend and I came to Bob's for our Anniversary and let's just say "wow!" we were both blown away by not only by the excellent quality of the food, but the immaculate service from Big Dan, and the lovely atmosphere! We have been to many of the Austin Steak houses around downtown and have yet to find a place that makes you feel so comfortable and treated as part of the family. Remember how I said it was our anniversary? Well, Big Dan is the true MVP he really made our night special by providing us with wonderful company, service and not to mention a delicious dessert that knocked us off our feet!
**Summary: Men, if you want to take your date somewhere special, that she can wear her finest dress and be treated like a queen, be sure to visit Bob's and ask for Big Dan! Your lady is in for a treat!
*** The Food was out of this world and cooked to perfection. Hats off to chefs in the kitchen!! -

If you are looking for an exceptional dining experience, Bob's is your place. The atmosphere, service and food are all top notch.
But, like most fine steak houses, be prepared to throw down some pretty serious coin.
We started with drinks at the bar. I had water but picked up the tab for three drinks that was well over $50 with tip. Steaks start at around $42 and go up from there. But the table is set with delicious pickles and fresh bread with butter. The steaks comes with a roasted carrot and your choice of potatoes. I love the skillet potatoes with onions and pepper corn gravy. Every bite of my steak was exceptional and our waiter could not have been kinder and more skilled at his position.
We were celebrating a birthday and they brought out a very generous dessert on the house.
Classy move by a classy place.
If you're looking for a special night out, look no further. -

Unfortunately, after 6 years of dining with Bob's in Austin , we are changing our opinion from all five stars restaurant to one star. We are very disappointed with our experience tonight.
Over the years, we've been going to Bob's whenever we have reasons to celebrate and they always took care of us. So after a while we haven't been there, we were excited to celebrate our special day there tonight.
First, when we arrived, we were seated in the corner booth in the Golf room by a male host. He could be a manager. He was abrupt and seemed too busy to sit us on our booth.
The booth he sat us on had a big cut on the seat cushion (see picture). Since the host was too busy, he probably didn't see it or care enough to see it. Side Note: there were several other booths or tables available in this room alone.
Not too long after being sat down, our server, Katie, greeted us and ask if we were ready to order our drinks. We were not and she came back a few minutes. After taking our drink order, we told her we were ready to order our food. While Katie was nice and professional, we noticed no one has told us any specials for the night. Maybe they don't have one now.
Then the bread came, nice and warm as we remember it. Not long after that, we noticed some bugs flying around our tables. Maybe they were there the whole time we were there, but we saw some bugs which appear to be fruit flies and/or mosquitoes. We got at least two and one fell on our table. Toward the end of our dining experience, we told Katie and pointed out the bug on the table. She looked horrified, apologized, and swat it off the table. She said she'll tell someone about it. But nothing mentioned afterwards.
So, about the food, we had blue cheese salad, T bone steak, ribeye steak and lobster mac n cheese. Food was good! But the carrot was undercooked.
So overall, our tap is around $200 for dinner for 2. For this amount, we think it shouldn't be too much to ask to expect a nice seating and bugs free dining experience. Unfortunately, that's not what we got tonight. This place definitely has deteriorated over the years. -

If you too are a festival loving tourist on a quest for a Texas steak, look no further! Bob's is open late and the staff was fantastic! We arrived about an hour and a half before closing and were able to still get high quality service and delicious food. The salmon was done just right and the steak cooked to perfection. I definitely recommend the splurge!

The food was nothing short of spectacular. Especially considering we were a very large group of about 100 people that took the back room. Usually things fall apart when trying to serve so many people at once. Service was outstanding and attentive. My table was good at sharing so I ended up ordering the filet mignon but also had the halibut and the lamb chop. Everything was top notch. Would definitely recommend this place.
