The Place:
Bobby’s Too

What happened to Bobby’s One? Apparently there is a Bobby’s Pub downtown somewhere, and Bobby’s Too is it’s sister restaurant, but for some reason Bobby’s Pub is not in our phone book. So we were off to Bobby’s Too. Apparently both Bobby’s Pub and Bobby’s Too have the same menu and the same specials. The only difference is that Bobby’s Pub has more of a bar.

The Time:
Friday, July 14, 2006, 8:00pm

The Atmosphere:
Bobby’s Too is in the Showers Plaza, and seems like it caters to mostly the lunch break/happy hour crowd. The have some small booths in the front area, but then have a bunch of table in the game room, which includes a big screen TV, a pool table, and Erik‘s favorite Pinball game, Elvira. He was upset becasue the game hadn’t been very well maintain. Apparently pinball machines need a lot of upkeep. There is also another room, which is like a back patio except that it is in the hallway of the office building. There was what seemed like a private party going on in the game room, so we mostly stayed in the booths up front. The look was very plain, and I was not expecting much from the food.

The Food:
Fortunately for us we came on a Friday, and at Bobby’s Too Fridays mean free chips and salsa and 10¢ wings. The tortilla chips and salsa were actually homemade. The chips were real fried flour tortillas, and so were a little thicker and chewier than usual, which was a nice change. The salsa was nothing great, but edible. The 10¢ wings were quite small, but tasty. I’m not usually big on wings, but I would definitely go back on Fridays for these ones.
I also ordered a cheeseburger. They have a bison burger, but decided not to be so adventurous that day. All sandwiches come with your choice of potato salad, pasta salad, chips, or soup. You can get fries or a salad for $1.25 extra, which I would normally think was a little outrageous, but since we were getting such a great deal on wings, and free chips and salsa, I figured I’d upgrade to the fries. The burger itself was decent. The cheese was shredded, which I though was interesting, but didn’t change the taste too much. It wasn’t quite a $7.00 burger, but still pretty good. And the fries were thick and crispy.

The Service:
It was towards the end of the day, and so even though it seemed like the wait staff was ready to go home, they were still very friendly and helpful. In fact, we had multiple servers helping us (without them knowing it), and we still got great service.

The Price:
The sandwiches on their own are a little pricey for what they are at $6-7, but in combination with some good 10¢ wings, you can’t go wrong.

The Rest:
Bobby’s Too is a relaxed little shop, perfect for a lunch break or an after work wind down. They do have specials on other days, but 10¢ wings all day Friday seems to be the way to go.

How often would I eat there?
