We stopped by on a recent Sunday morning looking forward to a yummy breakfast. We wound up leaving before we even ordered our food. I understand how difficult the pandemic has been on the restaurant industry and that many establishments have gone to great lengths to keep business going anyway they can. But not enforcing the mask order, or maintaining proper social distancing?? It's simply dangerous and not worth it. I was stunned to see that the hostess wasn't wearing a mask as she moved around the dining area seating patrons. Our family was seated and within a few minutes a party was sat at the table next to us, with some of us sitting within 2 feet of the other customers at that table. We really want to try to do what we can to give our business to local establishments, but not at the cost of possibly contracting COVID if that establishment won't follow the protocols meant to keep us all as safe as possible. read more

Frequent eater here...always the best breakfast areound! Pancakes are HUGE...sausage links ...the best! Some of the servers have changed....miss some of the precoius employees they were fun! read more

Pros: Seated quickly Great food Cool atmosphere Clean Bathrooms Cons: Server was basically non existent - waited 20 min for drinks Overall this place is great! read more

Bob's Grill is playing politics with customers lives. We ordered carryout because when we arrived there were several patrons waiting outside. After paying I noticed the host was not wearing a mask and there were other workers and patrons also not wearing masks so I told my wife let's wait outside. That's when I saw a sign on the door stating something to the effect that despite the governor's mask order anyone not wearing a mask it is assumed they have an "Honorable Exception" to the order and something about HIPPA. There's no such thing as an "Honorable Exception." It's not Honorable to endanger the lives of your fellow Americans. If I contract the COVID-19 I'll know I got it from Bob's Grill because all the other establishments I've visited this week care for their clients and aren't playing politics. read more

The food was delicious! I got the biscuits and gravy, never had gravy like that! The hashbrowns were sliced potatoes, very flavorful and tasty! My mom got the bobs special, also delicious! The pancakes were huge! The service was good and the ambiance was nice. read more

This is a must try breakfast stop. A fun atmosphere. Our server was great. She had the perfect attitude to match the store name but in a very fun way. If you get the pancakes, beware! Probably won't be able to eat a stack of 3!!! This is a must stop at least once kind of place. Hurry up and get the hell out! LOL! read more

I'm not even sure how you mess up scrambled eggs whites lighter fluid taste and almost burnt on one side hashbrowns. frozen patty cheeseburger- disappointing read more

What a fun stop... packed ! Food is good nothing crazy just good down home cooking with a side of yummy adult beverages to wash them down with. I will tell you the main focus for Bob's Grill Eat and get the Hell out is clear everyone wants in... even during the middle of week you will find the line of people waiting. Nicely this past week they have put up an outside tent to help with the line and it appears to be a life saver... make time and stop by but remember eat... and get the hell out read more

Hard not to like the food and motif. Biscuits and gravy tasty and filling. Can't wait to go again

The atmosphere feels like a classic 80s diner. The service is uplifting and joyous. And the food is reasonably priced. The pancakes are the size of the plate! read more

You 100% need to try Bobs grille. We come to the OBX every single year and have a handful of restaurants that are always a must have. I discovered Bobs grille from a local I met several years ago, and since then we've added this restaurant into our rotation. We have never been disappointed! Service is amazing, the food is fantastic, and it has a nice chill vibe. I got the pecan waffle today and added chocolate chips and it was soooo goood. They have breakfast food and also a lunch menu. Definitely worth going! read more

Our go to breakfast joint whenever we're in OBX. I fall.for the bacon and cheese omelet everytime Love the atmosphere, the decor and "the attitude" ;) read more

Our family just fell in love with Bob's. After trying to eat next door at Stack 'Em High but finding they had a 30-minute wait, we tried Bob's for breakfast and were very pleasantly surprised. Great atmosphere and top-notch service. All of the t-shirts and surfboards hanging from the ceiling gave it a fun look. The omelettes are huge and delicious, bacon perfectly crispy, biscuits fresh and flaky, and pancakes ENORMOUS! We loaded up on merch also. Then, we "got the hell out." LOL Went back for a second visit before our OBX vacation was over. In fact, we tried again to go to Stack 'Em High, but we saw that they were using disposable dishes and serving drinks only in bottles and cans. I completely understand the COVID precautions, but knowing how good Bob's was, we didn't want to be disappointed. read more

Fantastic service, healthy sized portions of food, and very tasty!! We will definitely be returning. Thank you, Bob's Grill!!

Bob's Grill is a delicious diner experience. They serve their entire menu, including, breakfast, lunch, and alcoholic beverages at any time. Crab cake sandwich is to die for. Stuffed with more crab than filling. Also, Claudine is the sweetest server I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. read more

Love this place! It was my first time trying Bob's and so glad I did. Came in for breakfast and had an awesome pancake. Yes, you read that right, one pancake. The portions are huge and so glad the waitress explained this to me prior to placing my order. My waitress was very friendly and I would definitely come back. FYI this place is always packed so best to come early. :) read more

Eat your super fabulous breakfast and get the hell out! Great food and service. We had the chicken fried steak and ham platter. The fried potatoes are amazing. We will definitely be back. Shout out to our server Robin, she's good a what she does and deserves kudos. We had a large party and we stayed past closing. She continued with her great service and attitude. (unknown to her, we tip very well). I know good food and good service. You'll get both at Bobs Grille read more

We never miss this place when we visit the OBX. Good food, fair price, ample parking. The menu includes breakfast all day. Standard diner fare with a seafood twist. Never had a bad meal here. read more

Super casual diner that will do the trick. I wasn't really wowed by anything here, but they have a solid list of breakfast choices. I can't speak for their lunch or dinner which might be even better. I had the crab omelette which came with a tonnnnnn of crab in it! I was pleasantly surprised with this, because I was expecting something stuffed with cheese with only a little bit of crab. Nope, down south you get your money's worth when ordering seafood! It lacked any other flavor though. It was pretty bland and the omelette was pretty thin, but huge. I also ordered a side of gravy to go with my biscuits. Like I said, solid option if you're just looking for something to satisfy your hunger. Nothing fancy or too flavorful, just simple cooking to get the job done. read more

One of the few breakfast/brunch places in the outerbanks and it doesn't disappoint. Bob's grill customer service is out of this world. The food is good and affordable and don't let me get started on the portion sizes. Would definitely recommend. read more

Food sucked, waitress had an attitude. Wouldn't recommend unless you like unseasoned white people food.

The only reason why it's short a 5 star is because the waitress took a long time to bring us our drinks out. Our drinks consisted of water, coffee and kids milk. 4 kids 3 adults stumbled in here for brick on a random Wednesday. The food was out quickly and tasted good. Our server Jennifer was very friendly and got our order correct which was nice. See pics. read more

If I could rate this restaurant lower than a 1, I would. This horrible rating is because of one waitress - Summer. When we arrived, the hostess was nice and accommodated our party. After sitting for 20 minutes we still didn't have an opportunity to give our drink orders. Instead we watched her continuously serve the tables around us, provide refills, and check on their dining experience. When she finally came to our table we asked could we also give our food order. She just walked off, but still continued to serve others around us. We eventually asked could she take our orders. Her response was extremely rude as she claimed they were "swamped." Crowded, yes! Swamped, No! Look at the photo. Adding insult to injury, she told the hostess to make sure we don't leave without paying and that we were the reason that she hasn't been able to work. Do I have to say it? RACIST! Even with Summer's horrible service, there was no reason to assume our table would not pay! I caution anyone whose is BIPOC on visiting this establishment. Unfortunately, the saying is true - "One bad apple spoils the whole bunch!" read more

Let me waste my time ordering just to tell me they don't start any orders without prepayment. Lol what a joke. Cash is currency. They need to be direct and say that they won't accept cash payments before they waste your time. read more

Understaffed and way too crowed. If you enjoy waiting 20 mins after you get seated, which will be on some strangers lap, to have anyone greet you then this is the place for you. I can say with confidence that our waiter forgot about our table. This is because the layout and set up is piss poor. This is what happens when you have a bad business model. I don't blame the staff I blame the owners, prime example of profits over quality. read more

Good place for breakfast. Very crowded but they processed folk's quickly. Had the burrito but not quite as southwestern as I expected. I'd go with an omelette next time. read more

This place was awesome. The service was excellent and food was delicious. It definitely hit the spot we had to come the next morning. If you're at the outer banks stop by. You won't regret it! Oh and get the hashbrowns! read more

Probably the best tasting breakfast options in all of Obx. The prices are reasonable and the servings are good for what you pay for. Usually very crowded but they still somehow manage to seat quickly and get food in reasonable time as well. The wait staff has always been very kind and fun. Do not come here with a bunch of kids, this is not the place for them. read more

Food was wonderful! Wait time was long but they were packed. Service was great too. Food portions were huge. I would definitely return.

First, let me just say that our server, Claudine was THE BEST! she needs a raise! Her service was top notch, fun, and friendly! The food was great as well. All around a great experience and we will be back! read more

Best shrimp and grits! Small place, long waits... you know it has to be good! Small town diner vibe with excellent food!

Excellent breakfast & worth every penny! Hash browns were amazing! Place was super clean & staff was super nice :)

Went for breakfast this morning. Be for-warned, the pancakes are huge. Largest I have ever been served. I had the blueberry pancakes and they were delicious. My wife also had the blueberry pancakes. We can't wait to go back tomorrow to try the chocolate chip pancakes. read more

Food was very good! Loved the fact that on vacation I could have alcohol with my breakfast. Food came out fast and the staff were very friendly. read more

We had intentions of going to Stack 'em high for breakfast because it had been our "go to" since we started coming to OBX but it was closed on Wednesday. So we ventured next door to Bob's Grill. Well let's just say Stack em High will no longer be our place. From the moment we walked in until we left the place we had smiles on our face. Our waitress Claudine was awesome. She was fun and sassy in a good way. The playful banter back and forth with us was awesome and added to our breakfast adventure. Now let's talk about the food. The pancakes were bigger than my head and were delicious. They are known for their hash browns and they did not disappoint. Everything we had was delicious. I would definitely recommend this place! read more

First off walking in the restaurant it was cute and got seated right away , but then is when the nightmare started! We sat there for about 15 mins before getting greeted and our server Claudine was Super Rude ! I order a waffle and wanted it soft along with my bacon ! She keep telling me that not how they did it ! That people in nc like they stuff overcooked . The waffle was bought to my table and it was completely overcooked ! She proceeded to tell me that she told me about it ! And telling me how wrong I was and had to deal with it ! I ask could I switch it out with pancake and told me that I would still have to pay for it ! And then started being even more rude and passive aggression ! She finally get to talking to the manger where I could see them talking about how I didn't want to pay for my food which was not the case ! The manager Summer came over and completely change my mood she was super sweet and talk to the cooks about just making it soft ! And when our original server came back over while we were talking to summer kept saying how she told me that they only made them completely overcook and how I was wrong while standing there telling the manger In Front of me ! She then say in front of us and the manger that I didn't want to talk to her and that I asked to switch server which was not the case ! She started to act like a child and walking by and saying unnecessary remarks and talking about us to the table behind us ! Overall the food was good but our server Claudine was the worst SERVER I HAVE EVER HAD ! And need to be talk to about her attitude and the way she treated and talks to people she could have flip it around and made a tip for me still but instead we gave it to summer ! read more

Good food, and even better service. Our waitress was Helen and she was amazing. Very kind and quite funny. Couldn't finish my food as I tried to eat a hotcake before my actual meal, but it was all very good. read more

Another swing and a miss on the OBX mini-vacation. The pancakes look good when you see them on the plate, but they are chewy, dense and relatively flavorless. I can make good pancakes at home. It's not difficult. The sausage was good, but this is absolutely a 1500 calories for breakfast and run back to the hotel to go to the bathroom type of establishment. It's crowded, loud and the staff seems to have trouble keeping up with the amount of people going in there on a Monday morning during tourist season. One thing this trip has made me realize is that as a person who no longer drinks on the beach all day cause sober, there's nothing to do in OBX other than blow money on sub-par food and lay around. Not a great time. I live twenty minutes from VA Beach and there's at least good dining options. read more

Really enjoy Bob's and make an effort to go every time I visit the area. Staffing was light and our waitress was hard to find. They made 0 effort to implement any form of social distancing and most tables were set with guests sitting immediately next to other patrons at other tables. As I had multiple small children in my party, this was not appreciated. read more

This place sucks... Everything we ordered was bad (the waffles were at least cooked that day), out of a bag bought by cysco or another food company. Don't get the bacon or sausage, the bacon had some kind of liquid smoke flavor, really poor quality. This place must have paid for those reviews, breakfast was horrible. Our kids wouldn't eat anything from there so we threw most of it out. read more
