We did not care for this restaurant's food. The atmosphere while very busy and loud was quaint and the staff friendly and pleasant, the food was less desirable. The burger didn't have much flavor. It was thin and lack luster. The "large" chili dog came in a paper lined basket which melded into the chili and you had to be very careful separating the paper from the food. The French fries were something that we are still trying to figure out. The flavor was almost synthetic. Was it bad oil or a cheap potato-like product? Unfortunately even when you execute the food perfectly, if you are working with cheap products you food will reflect this. read more

I have a family of three and typically we enjoy eating at Be-Bops. Each time we've gone, however, it's gotten progressively worse. Tonight was probably the last time I'll take my family there, at least until I hear things have gotten significantly better. I ordered one of their cheeseburgers and as soon as I picked it up, it fell apart. The bun was so dry and of poor quality, that it instantly fell into over a dozen pieces. I like a somewhat messy burger if it's good, but this I couldn't even bring to my mouth. I waved a waitress over and showed her. She took it away and brought it back about five minutes later. The solution? Scoop up the entire burger, bun pieces and all, and place it on top of another equally-stale bun, put it back in the basket, and hand it to me. "Double-bunned" they called it. So I'm trying to eat it by picking out the individual pieces of bun from the inside, which takes out most of the cheese and sauce in the process, leaving me with a mess inside of a mess. $6.45 for a single burger, falling apart, and with ingredients worse than burger king. Actually, take any burger from Burger King or Carl's Jr, and it's pretty good compared to this. The meat was dry and cooked lifeless, and the fries were lukewarm and tasteless. The only thing good about this place is the beer on tap, but of course they don't make that now do they. The guys behind the stove are dirty and dejected-looking, leaving the grill for long periods of time with meat transforming into hockey pucks. The waitresses are friendly but their smiles are fast and forced. The 1950s kitsch is fun, but it doesn't count for much when the food--the stuff you go there for--is such poor quality. $35.15 for two single cheeseburgers, a side of onion rings, a kid's mini-burger and fries, one lemonade, and one Boont Amber Ale, with tip (I'm not the kind of person to withhold a tip for bad food, that's what complaining is for). The only things I would eat again were the onion rings, although oily, and the beer. A shining example of the kind of low standards you come to expect in Ukiah. It's not the worst place I've been to by a long shot. But mediocrity and low standards infuriate me more than incompetence. Because it implies that they aren't even trying, and don't care. I'd rather someone fail completely than to not try. You can teach someone who fails. But you can't teach someone who doesn't care. Eating here, I wonder if the owners themselves even care. Probably not, as long as the tables keep turning. But maybe that will change. All I want to do is take my family out to some casual fun dining, and get food that I can put into my mouth that's worth the money and my time. Is that too much to ask for? I'd like to have the owner of this establishment over to my house for a cheeseburger and a beer (which I brew myself). I can't guarantee that they'd be the best burger or beer they've ever had, but at least they would be made by someone who cares. read more

Waitresses in poodle skirts with cinch belts. Waitresses in jeans with rolled up cuffs. I must be old. I remember when that was stylish. But, a cute 50's themed restaurant in the former Savings Bank building is nothing unless the food is good. The food is OK but not outstanding. Our first visit my wife had a burger, hold the bacon. She reported it better than In-N-Out burger which has been our favorite commercial burger. I tried a chile cheese dog- I think it was canned chile. Onion rings were greasy. For some people that's the whole point of onion rings, but I prefer mine drained. Wife had dish of ice cream for dessert - it was a BIG dish. read more

While its not the best in Cali, it certainly is a fine place to enjoy a quality burger and cheery service on the Ukiah Strip. Said to have once been a bank, Bebop has been nostalgically remodeled back to 1955. Comfy atmosphere and endless milk shake variations abound. read more

just had lunch here for the last time. I tried to love this place, each time I have gone the service is terrible. it's not that the waitress is not doing her job, it's that she needs help. they have 1 waitress & 1 bus person, while the hostess does "stuff" stuff I am sure that needs doing, but food is why hungry people come to places to eat. getting it promptly would be great, this has never happened here for me. Yesterday my husband went to lunch here with this son, they had a good meal , so they wanted to come back, I went a head of them & got a table, the vent above the stove was not working so the place was filled with smoke, we decided to sit outside, even though sitting in the hot air with the traffic as our entertainment was not our 1st choice. we had our orders taken at 12:20, we did not get our food until 1:pm there were people waiting when I got there at noon, that got their food just before we did. Our food was "ok" it is burger place, if you go there for anything else such as I have, you will be very disappointed, today I got the Sea Cruise fish sand. it was too much batter too over cooked dark, surrounding a tiny piece of fish. so I ended up with bread too dry falling apart with all the breaded grease & American cheese... tomatoes & ice berg.... for lunch.... the burgers the guys had were good they said, the fries were too dark & dry for any of to enjoy. A very different experience for the day before they guys said..... lunch & drinks for 3= 44.00 Maria is Awesome & needs help!! The hostess needs to be more proactive when there is food at the counter, not move a starbucks cup from 1 counter to another, then walk into the back while food sits at the service counter!! read more

Way too expensive! A cup of Cole Slaw...$5.00! Ordered 2 garden burgers and a cheese and turkey sandwich and Cole Slaw, with tip $41.00!

Absolutely terrible service. The server was rude and did not listen to what we needed. When we got our food it was cold and the burger was very tough and dry from sitting. We told the owner and she gave us free food but also just rushed to get us out instead of listening and trying to fix it for future visits. read more

I used to like going to this cute little diner, despite it being a bit expensive, but after my last visit I don't think we'll be going again. The new owner took away the menus with all the signature burgers and instead put up a board that you have to order from at the till. It took twice as long to order as I had to build my burger instead of picking one from a menu, she kept interrupting me to ask if I wanted this or that, and we had to wait for each person in our group and the people in front of us to go through this. Instead of sitting at a booth and deciding what we wanted, we had to stand at the door waiting to order from a board. Takes away from the diner setting and makes it feel closer to fast food. And she didn't even get our order right. read more

We ate there for the first time a couple of days ago. My wife and I split a burger and fish & chips. Some pluses and minuses: + Atmosphere - like what we remember from the early 60s. + Burger was very good. + The cole slaw that came with the fish & chips was very tasty, not over-mayonnaised like the cole slaw in most restaurants. + They understand fish & chips well enough to have malt vinegar on hand, even though it normally comes with tartar sauce (ugh!). (Whoever eats fish & chips with tartar sauce should be permanently banned from the UK.) +/- Waiter was friendly and accommodating, but it took some major signaling to keep our water glasses filled. -- Fish was overcooked and the portion was stingy. One small and another smaller piece of fish. We didn't try the malts because we had plenty of food as it was. But they looked rather expensive for what you get. We'll probably go back the next time we're in Ukiah. Not the best place we've been to, but not too bad, either. read more

This place sucks over priced food is nasty never going back service was horrible very unsatisfying

I used to love this place... recently it has gone downhill, and now I have gone for the last time. The waitresses are not friendly at all, and the cooks are sloppy. Vomiting all night long and today unable to leave the toilet has made sure that my last purchase was truly my last. My brother and I are both sick, and to make matters worse I am 6 months pregnant and now have to worry about my baby because the people who work here do not know how to properly handle food. read more

The food is good but the service is awful. Not once did we get checked on after our food was delivered, had to get up and go ask for refills on our drinks, never offered a box or anything. The "waitress" was too busy talking to who I believe was the owner just laughing and watching videos on their phones. Definitely not a good experience and not a pleasant time. We said thank you multiple times and not even a your welcome back. read more

This place used to be good, but has been declining for the past few years, while their prices steadily rise. Tonight will be the last time I waste my money there. read more

I was very pleased with my burger and fries. I had a strawberry shake and it was the best that I had in a long time. So glad it was not busy. Cute little diner! read more

Great everything! A little pricey, but the burgs & shakes are excellent. The service is spotty at best however. Be prepared to wait a while. Went there last Saturday at halftime to get some burgers to go. It was a little after 3pm. We we there for at least 25 minutes. The girls up front were great, but the cooks were painfully slow. It was a slow part of the day too. I'd hate to see them during the lunch or dinner rush. My buddy wanted a double burger, and they only put one patty on it, and put it in a basket instead of a to go bag. This seemed to confuse everybody. So we had to wait some more. By the time they got his order ready to go, we didn't want to wait around any longer for my grilled onions that they had failed to grill. If you have to be anyplace or are in a hurry, forget about it. But if you have plenty of time, and want a delicious (Blast from the past) traditional hamburger, shake & fries, this is a no brainer. read more

Stumbled on to Be-Bops during a recent road trip from So. Cal to Oregon (and beyond). Was one of the longer driving days, complicated by numerous detours and road construction projects). Be-Bops provided a welcome respite and the delightful surprise of rich and thick malts/shakes, the likes of which we haven't tasted in ages! read more

..The first time there was a blast lot of food to take home,had the chili hotdog and a Peggy sue burger and curly fries.this time we order the blt with fries and I had the same Peggy sue's with fries,well,guess what, the fries was burnt,the oil temp. was way too high,because the fries was 'Flash" fried. The B.L.T. was a joke,hardly any thing on it, "Where's the Bacon.!" Where the tomato..! ,skimpy on the condiments not a good thing. I might give them a second chance..! read more

Keep driving, let your stomach eat itself. They should tell you their burgers are junior burgers. Poor food, average service, below average cooks that cross contaminate as you watch... It's a sad state of affairs read more

Okay, to start off, Be-Bops has THE WORST smelling ladies room that I have EVER been in. It is SO AWFUL that I would rather not go there just in case I might need to use the restroom during the meal. In the events that my hubby won't take no for an answer (he loves the Bop Fries) I try my hardest to pick something new on the menu, because every previous thing I have gotten has been mediocre at best. No matter how hard I try to like this place, I'm NEVER satisfied, pretty much ever. Don't waste your time. Go to ritual, they have better burgers that COME with fries. read more

Bebop's is exactly what Ukiah needed. A fun, clean diner with decent food for decent prices. I can't speak for the burgers that some seem to be complaining about since I can't seem to stay away from the hot dog side of the menu!! Also love the Arnold Palmers, syrups in the sodas, huge and unique flavored milkshake menu, $5 draught pints (including some local stuff, and Blue Moon), and crazy dessert menu ( fried Oreos and Twinkies). Service each time I have gone has been simple but friendly, at a normal speed for any place cooked to order. If you are just swinging through town for one day and want somewhere to eat with either great food or great atmosphere, Bebop's is not the first place I'd send you. Ukiah has better places to show its visitors. But I wish SO MUCH that it had been around when I was in High School. It's the perfect cute, affordable hangout spot for locals that want a shake or fried snack or dessert and are sick of scuzzy Denny's and Jensen's. I would have wanted to work here and wear a poodle skirt, too. I drafted this review over a year ago and sadly realized I didn't stop by to try it out this past winter during my visit to town; hope it's still good, and it will go on the list for next time! read more

Don't waste your time or money here. First off, the service looked like they all just got yelled at or something. They worked with with heads down and didn't talk loudly. The food is disgusting and arrived cold. Everything is from a bag pre-made and the prices are horrible. I didn't even eat my corn dog or fries because it was disgusting. My milkshake arrived melted. Don't waste your time. read more

Its changed, what trash now... You have something special, you need to capitalize on this 50s theme. Figure it out or you wont be in business much longer. read more

The restaurant was awesome classic little American diner Garrett the server was an amazing host Stephanie was a great waitress. Great milkshakes, good food great place to stop by and have a classic American dinner read more

I am not impressed with the price of the onion rings and the quantity I received. I paid $5.95 for EIGHT onion rings that is crap, they aren't even homemade onion rings. The food here just wasn't very good. The cheese was like velvet if we are going to pay alot of money for food you would think they would have real cheese. I don't think I will be back,they are overly priced food isn't very good I was not impressed. read more

We were the only people in the restaurant. It took the waitress 20 minutes to ask for our order; we waited another half an hour for breakfast to be served. The food was okay. Perhaps lunch would be better? read more

Typical burger shop. Food is good and Atmosphere felt like you were in the 50's. The best part was when the girls came out and danced to "Let's do the twist". read more

The two dollar shake happy hour is the best deal in town, hands down. The burgers are a little hit and miss, but almost always above your chain burger joint offerings. Parking is good and the prices are in the right range. Outdoor seating makes it pet friendly but there's not much to look at on the corner. Still, it's one of the little treasures of Ukiah. read more

Went to visit family in Ukiah saw this new place and decided to try it out but Yuck! I miss Jaws :(

On a road trip, looking for a burger stopped by the place which looked and is a dinner! Decor is cool, the owner was the cheerleaderlike and the waitresses look like the new one! Food is ok , bread for burger is really cheap, coleslaw out of a can or so!! Give four star for the look and for the price but In and out does a better job for sure ! read more

great burger joint with fantastic onion rings. Everything we got was tasty, the milkshakes a little thicker than I like but still well worth ordering. read more

Nostalgia to the extreme, and awesome burgers to boot! Don't miss this one, it's most excellent!

We were on long drive and looking for something good for kids that was quick & tasty. Most of the restaurants yelp was showing were vegetarian or ethnic. We finally decided to take a chance on BeBops. I'm so glad we did! The burgers, fries, onion rings & shakes were all good. The service was prompt. And not only did they have beer on tap, but trailer parking across the street! read more

Food and service are good. Setup is fun and inviting. But all-in-all, it's way overpriced. Two milkshakes to go, $12? Really?

Very cool diner! The hot dogs are pretty good and they have beer on tap which is definitely a plus! The waitress was very cool and looked like she just got out of a time machine from the 50s. The only thing that I disliked was that they started cleaning the place while we were still eating which is really annoying Granted, we got there late but it wasn't closing time yet. read more

Trying it for the first time.. Looks very nice! 50's style Restaurant.. The burger was good.

Great burgers,garlic fries and milk shakes! The staff is very efficient and friendly. My husband had the Daddy O and I had the Ritchie Vallen and both were delicious. read more

Really friendly service from the young man who helped us--wish I could remember his name! The food was as we expected...better than most fast food but nothing to write home about. I give the food three stars for being average but overall 4 stars for the nice kids that work there. read more

While on a visit to Ukiah, we tried Be-Bops Diner and found it to be mediocre. The decor is cute inside with its 50's diner theme. One of us ordered a hot dog, usually a safe bet, but it was not good. The hot dog was split in two and overcooked and the bun was crusty, not soft. The other two in our party ordered hamburgers, which were average. All of us ordered fries and they were all soggy, definitely not appealing. The waitress was not very attentive or friendly. read more

Clean. Food ok. Fries are terrible and they cost extra. They put velveta cheese on the garlic fries. Gross.

Awesome food, clean, friendly and affordable. We also have great service and amazing food. The decor is very nice and good music to listen to. read more
