So we started making this our last stop on mondays after running quick errands and getting some lunch a few months ago. I have to say I absolutely love how we are greeted every time by Chris the regular bartender there. There are a few regulars that we get to catch up every time and it is always nice to see friendly faces. Great cold beer selection, a variety of mixed drinks, wines and liquor. Today was the first time that we had lunch and I have to give it a couple of thumbs up. There's always sporting events going on on the multiple TVs and nice view of 6th. Absolutely love this place and so glad we found it! read more

I had dinner here recently with four friends. The place is a casual and friendly bar, with a food menu strong on burgers and sandwiches. I ordered the Weezesteak ($13), their version of a Philly cheesesteak. One of my friends had a Reuben sandwich. Both sandwiches came cut in half, so we each had half of each sandwich. Mine came with French fries. The sandwiches were both good. The fries were rather soggy. Service was very good. Prices are reasonable. read more

I had a late lunch here with my dog. The place has a dog-friendly patio that made me want to try this place out. It is not a big place. The front end is a horseshoe shaped sports bar. I sat outside on the west patio off Tucson Blvd. Service was prompt and my chicken sandwich came out hot within minutes and was brought to me by the friendly fry cook. He was more attentive toward me than my server, so kudos to him. I had a side salad with my sandwich and together it was a very filling meal. Price wasnt bad, either:$12 plus tax and $ 0.45 "maintenance fee" for using my credit card. I lucked out with a parking spot right by the patio. read more

Outdoor seating was great at night. TV playing football. Service was good. Nice staff. Waiter did the "I don't need to write it down" thing and messed up two minor things on our order. Just write it down for the kitchen. Otherwise food was good, nothing amazing. Food needed flavor added by me. Burger was cooked to my liking. read more

Bob Dobbs - The Connie Burger - Bars Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

There is a reason that this place has been here for years. This classic dive has a total Cheers vibe. This means that people who come there are like family to each other. The Is your average bar fair but who doesn't love a greasy Burger My husband and I shared the slider burgers and the fried zucchini. The ciders were three bite-sized burgers with a pickle and cheese. They were tasty. The fries were a little overdone, but some people like it like that. The fried zucchini was a little too breafy for my taste, but it came out hot hit the spot, so not really complaining. read more

Bob Dobbs - Bars Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Bob Dobbs is a local pub in the Sam Hughes neighborhood with a good beer selection and excellent food. The Bob burger is a favorite of ours, seasoned with garlic and Worcestershire. The turkey clubs are also great. The handout fries are outstanding. The patio is a very popular spot in the evenings, and sports is always on the TV. read more

Bob burger was still good after 20 years! I'm just sad they painted over my signature

Bob Dobbs has friendly service and reasonable prices (at least for drinks). It is a small establishment, but has a little outdoor seating area too. We did not eat, but we stopped for a drink on a Friday evening while it was reasonably busy it wasn't packed. The server was quick to greet us and take our order as well as serve us our drinks. Bob Dobbs has a small town corner bar vibe that I personally enjoy but isn't going to make most people go out of their way to visit. TL:DR - an average corner bar. Worth a stop read more

I had a beer and was about to order and I heard the cook say " aww man I don't wanna cook a burger". I definitely changed my mind about this place and now hesitant to go here. read more

Food was fantastic and that bob's special burger made me Boston cream pie. Service was pretty great and I have no complaints read more

Went in with a few friends & was pleasantly surprised by the great experience. Service was fantastic, Lane was outstanding. Highly recommend! read more

Best burgers and homemade chips in Tucson. Love the patios and village ambiance. Our waitress was efficient and personable.

They don't social distance here. They do have you wear a mask on the way in. The bar was full with no distancing. Both me and my significant other are fully vaccinated so we figured it was good as it's going to get. We were hungry and wanted to watch the game. Food. Grade: C Yummy hand cut fries. Good. French dip with cheese on it(?). Weird but peeled it off. Side salad, clearly out of a bag. Eh. Underwhelmed. Atmosphere. Grade: B Lots of people. Which is nice to see (4/4/21). Everyone seemed friendly. Good neighborhood spot. Booze. Grade: B+ Got the Monday Margarita. $5 in a tall glass. Totally yummy and worth the bucks. Bathroom: Grade: D There was a VERY strong smell in the bathroom, but not like someone had just used it but like bad old plumbing? Avoid the bathroom. Needed to be cleaned. I still pee'd. Overall all impression. Would go back. Try something way more basic like wings and booze only. It's up the street from me so I will be back. I wouldn't drive longer than 10 minutes to go to this place to watch a game. read more

Met up with a couple of my girlfriends as one of them recommended the place. Food and drinks were pretty good, definitely will visit again. read more

All the free raw chicken you can eat! Ate here with a few friends, there was plenty to chose from to comp for feeding me raw chicken. When I pointed the chicken out to the cook and asked "does this look raw to you"? They replied, it's a new kind of dark chicken",lol!!! Luckily I did not get sick. Bob Dobbs don't be cheap, you could have avoided this review. read more

Bob Dobbs - Chicken Fingers - Bars Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

This iconic bar was our hangout in graduate school. So for my reunion, I had to come back and visit while I was in town. I was surprised to see the same manager is working here! Wow! They have since changed their ceiling tiles. They're so clean and new. They also added more TVs and karaoke on Saturday nights. I was happy they have a game day menu for food as we were in the mood for some snacks. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich w fries and the fried zucchini. Everything was gobbled up! So good. We ordered shots and beers and cocktails. Service was great. Prices are good. Karaoke is free. Watched the end of the U of A football game. Such a good time. Outdoor seating available. Indoor seating can get full fast. Bathrooms could use an upgrade and need to be stocked more often. There was no soap! They're also unisex, so beware. Parking is on the street but you should get a ride instead of drive. Have fun! read more

It's OK for local neighborhood bar. The wings here are better than the place across the street. The wings are well cooked and meet. The beer selection is good, but not great. Nice patio to sit out on. Unfortunately a forgettable place, but glad to see a local place doing well for itself. The service was passable. read more

Bob Dobbs - Bar area - Bars Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I've been patronizing this business for years. What do I love about it? 1. Nice, cozy patio. It's nothing fancy. Just basic wooden picnic benches. 2. Amazing wings. Get the wings. I like the ones that aren't slathered in sauce. 3. Great prices. No, seriously. You can get a full meal with about $10. 4. Reliable service. 5. Feel good space with sprawling writings all over the place. Fun reading. 6. Parking is always available either along the curb on Sixth Street, or in the rear. I find that the burgers are consistent and on point. Never have I had an over or undercooked burger. Their fries are the right width and length and without being over-seasoned. And I find that the service is generally attentive and swift. And my absolute favorite? To visit on a cool night, early in the evening, just as dusk is setting in. Grab a seat on that gorgeous patio, which has a TV, but is never obnoxiously loud. And enjoy the conversation and good eats as the sun sets. read more

Classic hole in the wall. This place really hit the spot for what we wanted tonight though. We had just finished up rock climbing indoors down the street and needed something low key with good burgers and decent taps. This place has about 8 beers on tap but it was fine since they offer good beers (dragoon is nice and I enjoyed the Sierra Nevada pilsner). This place offers happy hour every day. Brownie points although we had just missed it. The menu consists of bar food and sandwiches. I went with the Baja Burger, which consisted of pepper jack, avocado, Baja sauce with my chosen side of onion rings. Boyfriend did the same but with a side of fries. The burgers were great! Cooked to order and just really hit the spot. I really liked the fries - they were salty and crispy. The Baja sauce has a nice bite to it which was a nice addition to the burger. Perhaps we will frequent this place after our climbing endeavors more often. Cool, laid back vibe with good bar food. read more

Took 15 mins to get our order and 45 mins for our food to come. It took way too long to get burgers out. By the time the burgers came to us, the fries were cold and soggy. The meat was dry, and the burger had no flavor. I open the burger and the meat was burned. I don't know if they cook 1 burger at a time or if it was sitting there for a long time. Service was not great either If you want dry overcook burgers, this is the place read more

I had the worst food here. I ordered Nachos burger and fries. The cook seemed to deliberatly foul the order. The nachos were pathetic (basically just cheese on chips), fries were over salted, and the hamburger was overcooked. I will never go back to Bob Dobbs again. read more

Talk about double fried chicken wings!!! This is the place for it, and to make things better, cold beer with a view. Sitting on the patio watching cars n people go by as you eat and enjoy the beautiful weather. Only negative is the limited draft beer selection. Other than that, stop by and chill for a while read more

The first time I went here was about an hour before a UA game. It was load, the service was poor, the staff was practically scowling, and they were understaffed. I decided to not write a review at that time to give them a fair shake. I went back a couple of days ago and was very disappointed. It is the second trip that I will be the focus of this review. The food was bar food and nothing that would draw me back. It did come out pretty quick though. The place is really small but it does have a few tables outside if you want to enjoy the Tucson evenings. I sat at the bar but could not figure out the staffing. There were a couple of people there, but they kept running back and forth to tables and the bar. It seemed like no one was in charge of the bar. In fact, I could not discern any sort of pattern (i.e. what server was in charge of what tables or stools at bar). Because both servers were running around everywhere, everyone was getting sub-standard service. This is a management problem that needs to be addressed. Most establishments have charts to indicate which servers are responsible for which tables. They have different charts for busier times when there are more servers. This was chaotic. It was probably because of the chaos that the servers are unhappy and taking it out on the patrons. Service is of primary importance for me when I spend my hard earned money. If an establishment doesn't take care of its customers, they will pay the price. I for one will not be going back and advice all my friends to avoid it too. read more

Came in here because the restaurant next door had few gluten free options and this place said they had gluten free hamburger buns. We sat down and were immediately greeted and our drink order taken. When the drinks came we said we hadn't decided yet on what to order. "No problem, I'll come back in a few" the girl said. Fast forward 15-20 minutes and the girl floating is behind the bar and back in the kitchen but never floating out on the floor. The other gal stays behind the bar. We paid for our drinks and walked out. 11/4/22 read more

Came in on a whim around 2pm and was instantly greeted and offered a menu. Wasn't too busy around this time and got my food fresh and hot.

After playing tourist all day, courtesy of my Tucson-based cousin, I was feeling drained. Cousin asked, as we were driving through some anonymous neighborhood, "So, what would you like to do right now?" It was maybe 4:30pm, and I realized, I had a powerful thirst. "You know what? I would like to have a beer." And she drove to Bob Dobbs. This proved that, after only a few days together, she knew me pretty darn well. Bob Dobbs is a dive bar. That's not a criticism. I wanted a beer, not hanging plants, not a "mixologist" behind the bar, and not high prices. Bob Dobbs was kind of dark, with old furniture, old guys at the bar, the NCAA playing on a couple TVs, and a female bartender in a stretchy shirt cut low enough to show some cleavage. My kind of place. I went to the bar to check out what beers they had, and get an ice tea for the cousin. Some old guy sitting next to where I stood said, you should try what I'm having. (He named it; I've since forgotten the name.) I looked at his glass. It appeared to be an ale. "Pretty good, is it?" "Real good. You want to try it?" Yes, he offered me a taste of his. Yes, I drank. Yes, I ordered one for myself. Cousin was appalled when I told her. I shrugged. It's that kind of place. I can't comment on the food. We were there to get beer for me. We went some other place for dinner later. Around 5:00pm, I saw the shift change. New bartender came in, waitress came in. The crowd started to change -- younger people started arriving, who looked as they just came from their software development jobs. I drained my glass. "I'm ready to go," I told cousin. "How do you like this place" she asked. "I like it. I like it fine. Before 5:00pm." read more

Service is pathetic, the girl with the red hair is a horrible waitress who doesn't know how to be one, maybe she hates her job, I don't blame her. The food is very boring. Waited at the door for minutes while the girl just stared lol, so we sat ourselves and waited 5 mins for 2 menus, while there was only 4 people sitting at the bar no one else there, didn't get any refills on water or anything else. From what I've been hearing about this place, now see how it's completely accurate! Don't bother coming and take your money elsewhere : ) read more

The search is finally over! It was inevitable to find a random bar spot in Tucson that had a perfect storm of bad food and worse service. A burger and fries from this spot is so salty it'll make you wonder if you're about to have a heart attack on the way home. At the same moment your stomach will feel like you just ate a dead crow in the streets. The waiter had a pulse and looked human, but was actually a phantom that was never really there. An extra star than what this place deserves because of the cheap and strong drinks. Blows my mind how busy it was despite how pissed everyone was at the service. Man, if I go to this spot when hell freezes over it'll be too soon read more

1st time here. The Momo Burger and Fry's were absolutely delicious! Alexa was on point with service and made me feel like a regular. Definitely my new Tucson spot for a Burger and a Beer. read more

What is there to say about Bob Dobbs..... is really like to give it 3.5 stars but I gave it 4 instead of 3. You kind of know what you're getting at BD's..... here's the skinny..... Parking is easy. Location is great. Patio is wonderful during cooler months. Food is good but burgers can be overcooked. They're still good. Service is..... a lower priority. Not bad. Not great. Just ok. Bathrooms are bar bathrooms. Prices are fair. Cleanliness is ok. Not dirty. Just kind of ok. You come here for the people. It's the Cheers of Tucson. There are generations of people who have come here for years. You always know what you're getting when you come to BD's. It's a happy place with decent bar food and a good vibe. read more

I want to start this review by saying I LOVE this bar! It's not perfect, but exactly what you want it to be. The bartenders are always wonderful, and a few of them have been there a long time and treat their regulars like family. They just recently got a new chef, so the food isn't as good as it once was, but with time, they may be able to figure that out. This is a local neighborhood bar with that Cheers vibe. read more

Game day mad house. If there are many games going on that night, multiple tvs will be on for your entertainment. They are not very speedy with their service so you sit down for like 10 mins without being served; bare with it. I had the Portabella Mushroom Sandwich which was like a Portabella Burger. Along side, you can choose a side and I chose hand cut fries. They were not the best fries in town but they were pretty okay. The fans in this place keeps the vibe in this sports bar alive!!! read more

Bob Dobbs is a great place for a burger and beer - or karaoke on Saturday nights! Always a fun crowd- a lot of collegiate son Saturday's that brings up the energy level and good time! Check it out next time you need a burger! Very casual...college bar. read more

Came down to UofA Homecoming and decided to pop into Bob Dobbs. It was one of my friend's favorite spots to go to when we were in college, so we decided to reminisce about the good old days there. I have to say, after all these years, Bob Dobbs is still a pretty great place to go. We went on a Saturday night so there was karaoke going on all night, and believe me, the crowd was INTO IT!! Everyone was singing and laughing; the atmosphere was so light and free that you couldn't help but to belt along with the crowd. Even better, drinks are cheap!! I think a pitcher of a Northern Californian beer ran us $9/pitcher (4 glasses - a little over $2 a piece is a steal!). The only pitfalls are 1) the food sucks, but you don't come to a place like this for the food, so I shouldn't be surprised; and 2) there are only 2 unisex bathrooms, so after a full night of college kids (and alumni) boozing, the bathrooms are less than to be desired. However, the atmosphere is so chill that you can't help but to have a good time here so I definitely plan to make another pit-stop into the Dobbs next time I am in Tucson :) read more

I went into bob dobbs for my first time, the food was good. bartender was amazing he sparked a ton of conversation and brought customers together I think his name was Matt or max. I would defiantly recomend for some drinks and food, amazing service. read more

My husband and I ate there on a game night, but we went in for burgers anyway. We've been wanting to try it for years- We both agree that it's mediocre, he gives three stars I give it 2 1/2. The half was actually added because of the pretty good service for such a busy night. The burger is nothing special, and the french fries were limp and fairly taste less- neither one of us could eat the fries. It's definitely a neighborhood bar good for a regular type of crowd, but if you're looking for a delicious $10 burger go somewhere else. read more
