Bob's Steak Chop House - Tucson

Bob's offers the best steaks in town, hands down. I used to enjoy Fleming and Sullivan, but the flavor of Bob's steaks is truly unmatched! The service here is excellent—friendly yet not intrusive. The sides are generally very good, although the cream spinach is just average; however, the cream corn is fantastic! On Fridays, they have a delightful happy hour with live music on the terrace—it's an experience you shouldn't miss.

Bob's has the best steaks in town, hands down. I've tried Fleming's and Sullivan's (which I do enjoy), but the flavor of Bob's steaks simply surpasses them! The service is excellent; staff members are friendly without being intrusive. The side dishes are mostly very good, although the cream spinach is just mediocre at best. However, the cream corn is absolutely fantastic! They also host a great happy hour on Fridays with live music on the patio, which is definitely worth experiencing.

If I could suggest one improvement, it would be to offer smaller plates for those who prefer lighter portions. Most, if not all, of the dishes are large enough to serve two people. The staff was very attentive, consistently refilling my water glass after just a few sips. While I appreciate their attentiveness, it did feel a bit disruptive at times. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone willing to spend on such fine cuisine. It might not be for everyone, but it’s worth trying once in a while.

There were four of us, and we chose to sit indoors, although they also offered outdoor seating. We started with calamari and a half-order of onion rings. Wow! As an avid onion ring lover, I can honestly say these were outstanding. I’m not usually a fan of calamari, but I decided to try a piece or two and was pleasantly surprised by how tasty it was, with just the right amount of seasoning in the light batter. For our main courses, we all opted for steaks: two of us had the 9 oz filet, one had the NY strip, and one had the ribeye. Each steak was cooked to perfection and incredibly tender. The carrots were divine, and the potatoes were heavenly. I chose the smashed potatoes but also sampled the skillet potatoes, which were absolutely delicious. Though we all had plenty of leftovers and requested some to-go boxes, we couldn't resist trying our server Jessica's recommendation for dessert: the carrot cake. It was fantastic (she mentioned that a local bakery makes all their desserts), and we ended up taking home nearly the entire cake because it was enormous. From the service to the atmosphere to the food, our 90 minutes at Bob's offered a wonderful escape from the realities of 2020.

The management and staff at this restaurant were fantastic. We visited with our toddler, and they went out of their way to ensure he had everything he needed, making him feel completely at home. In addition to the amazing food, the atmosphere was wonderful. And don't miss the lobster bisque—it's a must-try!
