Checking early for an early dinner after 18 holes at Elbels.

A great place out in the country a bit. Just a bit on the noisy side because of exhaust fan above grill area. There is a small dining area that may be a bit quieter! The beer was cold and the food hot! Just the way it should be! Prices were fair for the amount of food that comes with your order. There are choices of potato to include twice baked, potato pancakes and fries. Beans or applesauce comes with the meal too. All in all...a nice place to eat. I liked it because it was close to our motel and we didn't have to go into town!

Usually when I dine out, I tend to choose either restaurants that are hot on the scene or exotic ones. Since I know how to cook, going to standard all-American restaurants usually doesn't readily come to mind as an option. But then there was one particular day when waying out different dining options for two, as usual I looked at the more exotic restaurants. Then I made a suggestion to my dining companion, but he said very firmly and without hesitation "Nope...where going to Bob's 19th Hole." with a smile on his face. I have heard good reviews about this place, but I thought "I hope something there stands out". We then arrived, and I instantly felt at home, realizing we were at a one of those greasy spoons. While waiting I could smell the different meats and comfort foods being prepared and got excited. Regarding diners, only occasionally do I dine at them, because though I love greasy spoon food I don't want the greasy spoon calories. Yet from time to time I get an itch for their food. My other hang up is diners such a these can prepare very rich foods that are heavy. Once we were seated, I browsed their menu, and was pleased. I noticed they have a nice selection sandwiches offering both panni's with nice veggie options as well as richer sandwiches such as deep-fried Cod, and Philly cheese steak. I was also surprised at the number of salad options, making Bob's dinner also friendly for those who want to eat on the lighter side. For starters I ordered their garlic toast (with the option of cheese, and or cheese &peperoni) accompanied with marinara sauce. And for my entrée (simply titled) "Chicken Breasts" which were grilled chicken covered with melted parmesan cheese served over wild rice. My companion had their Battered cod, served with cheesy baked mashed potatoes. When my appetizer arrived though simple in presentation, there was nothing simple about the taste!!! Many times regarding simple foods such as pizzas, breadsticks etc it is not what a restaurant makes but how they make it. My cheesy garlic bread was delicious. I don't know what type of bread they used (being homemade or not) but it didn't taste generic. Light buttery, cheesy, and not too soft or crispy I had to force myself to hold back to save room for the main course. Later our entrées arrived though I didn't get to taste my companion's the crispy golden battered fish the look on his face said it all. When I bit into my chicken breasts, every bite was flavorful, rich and moist with a subtle contrast of flavors. But unexpectedly the food wasn't greasy or weighty and didn't leave me feeling weighed down. Which for me is best of both worlds' food with both texture and taste without having that stuffed feeling afterwards. Though Bobs 19th Hole is all-American, I like that they serve food catering to a variety of diets. Moreover, the servers offered great hospitality when executing service. Even the customers sitting next to us had happy smiles on their faces, and both customers and staff acted like they knew us. Like that 80's sit-com Cheers "Where everyone knows your name". I was pleased with the casual homey atmosphere, but especially the food!!!! Bob's is located on the outskirts of South Bend, but despite your location I highly recommend this establishment. Especially for those that want a down homestyle meal, but don't have the desire to get down in their kitchen and make one.

Great food, yet the restaurant is kind of trashy. Went in the middle of summer and their a/c unit was leaking all over me and my table.
