    Special almond banana pancake combo
    Michael B.

    Better than typical diner experience with good food, great portions, and decent prices, but the service could definitely be better. We had the pancake combination breakfasts, one special and one slam. They were both very good and the pancakes are big and fluffy! I must also note that they actually know how to cook bacon here! You're not just served a limp piece of fat; it's actually cooked and close to crispy! The down side... We waited almost an hour for a table since we requested a table only, not the bar. The unfortunate thing about this place is that it is very small. There's a total of about 7 or 8 tables and it is very popular so it gets crowded with wait lines quick. The big complaint I have about this place is that even though it's a small place, and has 2-3 waitresses that we noticed serving tables, the service is slow and inattentive. The staff are all very nice, but we had to catch someone and ask any time we needed a coffee or water refill, and the check; things you should never have to ask for. I've seen staff at bigger restaurants handle way more tables more efficiently.

    This is the lighter plate!  Plus side of potatoes

    Amazing in every possible way. Food is perfection. Nobody can ever cook an over medium egg properly. They can here!! The pork green chili is fantastic. The decor is so adorable and clever. Servers are all wonderful. Can't say enough good things.

    My brother lives right on the edge of downtown Louisville & is within walking distance of everything. He rarely dines in and likes to walk to his favorite spots to eat every day. The crazy thing is that the quality of the food in Louisville is somehow far above that of other small towns. I realize that all the places I've eaten there have been well vetted by my brother and his family but I'm not used to having such a great concentration of fantastic places to eat. this was my first trip to Bob's with him and it didn't disappoint. My brother is a burger and fries guy and I'm a Reuben & rings person. I can't speak to the burger but my Reuben was top notch. I loved the marble rye and the onion rings where perfect. I also ordered a short stack of pancakes since we were there before noon and those were also great. Our server was excellent and knew my brother's order without him even needing to give it to her. if you're int eh neighborhood, this is small town excellence!

    Consistently good food, substantial portions, efficient service, reasonably priced neighborhood diner with outdoor seating in downtown Louisville.

    Look at that bacon!

    Fantastic Diner! How is it I've lived in Boulder County for so long and missed this GEM! The pancakes were fluffy and fabulous. The corned beef hash was yummy. The eggs were cooked perfectly to order. The service was awesome. Zoe is great! Coffee was kept full and hot. Hot chocolate was epic. Definitely will be going back to try lunch next!

    Taste: 4 Service: 4 Price: 5 Quality: 5 Quantity: 4 I really liked bobs. It's got a great atmosphere, really making you feel like you're in the 60s. Bobs is a pretty consistent breakfast spot with good prices, that never disappoints. We ordered the light breakfast, pancakes, and breakfast special, which were banana pancakes with vanilla frosting. There's typically plenty of parking and it's too hard to get a seat. I'd say, maybe best to avoid Sunday after 10. Common sense to avoid crowds after church let's out. Even still, worth the wait :)

    Hot pastrami sandwich, yummy!

    Consistently good food and friendly service in this charming diner downtown Louisville. I love that they keep a limited breakfast menu during lunchtime. Inside it's small but when the weather gets warmer there are a few tables outside, which is very pleasant. No wonder we keep going back!

    Breakfast Shoot

    Excellent service and food! Server was attentive and helpful. Had good recommendations on food and helping me decide. Food came out quickly and delicious. Pancakes are large and very fluffy. Breakfast shot is delicious and a good way to start the day! Went early in mid week, it wasn't super busy and had seat options.

So many places just use cheap cuts of meat and processed everything. I love the freshness and quality that Organic Sandwich Company brings to their menu. They have some unique concoctions for their sandwiches and offer a lot of variety especially for those with dietary restrictions. I've tried a bunch of their menu items but sometimes just a simple turkey, cheese, lettuce, tomato, mayo sandwich on French bread does the trick. Really nice people working there and this location is quaint, but lovely. I especially love their little herb garden box out front greeting you with a refreshing aroma as you walk through the door. I'll always support this business doing it right and feeding the community wholesome, delicious food.

I bake my own bread and there's a line every weekend so I haven't felt the need to go but decided to give it a try. I got the almond cinnamon roll with lemon glaze and my gf got a croissant and cortado. I asked to have the cinnamon roll warmed up and the guy at the register said, "We actually don't warm up cinnamon rolls here." It's a $7 cinnamon roll that'll leave me hungry in 30 minutes and you can't heat it up? Ever heard of someone eating cold cinnamon rolls? I sure haven't. Gave it a shot anyways and had to wait to get home to warm it up as I wasn't impressed. 9/10 warm and 4/10 cold. Should've asked for a refund when he said no. Won't be going back

The drinks were definitely expensive, but we were happy to pay for a quality experience at an upscale restaurant. We ordered multiple appetizers, had several drinks, sat at the bar for quite a while, and honestly about to leave thinking this was a place we would probably come back to. That changed the second the bill arrived. Buried into the check was a 7% "kitchen surcharge." In other words, the restaurant decided to pass along kitchen payroll costs directly onto the customer without being upfront about it. If you're not paying close attention, you could easily end up tipping on top of that surcharge as well, essentially paying an extra hidden fee without realizing it. At a restaurant positioning itself as upscale and classy, this came across as incredibly tacky and cheap. Pay your staff properly and price your menu accordingly instead of sneaking surprise fees onto the bill at the very end. That's not hospitality. That's the kind of nickel and diming people expect from budget airlines, not a supposedly high end dining experience. It completely ruined what had otherwise been a nice night. We were seriously considering coming back before this happened. Now we won't return.
