Bobby's Barrel

I'd give Bobby's Barrel 3 stars. Let me start by saying, I absolutely do not recommend going on a Saturday or Sunday here around lunch time. It took 30 minutes just to get seating, and even then it was bar seating only, no table. It took a while to be acknowledged by the staff, but it was probably because it was so busy and they were very understaffed and this is one of a small selection of sit down restaurants in the area.When we were seated, the workers were all friendly and the food came out fairly quickly. The eggs Benedict and the omelette were both pretty good and the price was reasonable.Overall, if you're in Volo and are there a weekday, stop in and try Bobby's Barrel. If you're there on a weekend, avoid at all costs.

I spotted the delicious looking giant smoked pork chop that several people had posted, and against my better judgment I tried this place. The giant tomahawk pork chop is not what I got.My waitress was new and did a very good job, but the other lady she was working with didn't seem to wanna be there. The pork chop is not on the dinner menu, which is odd, but they said I could order it. See the picture below this is what I got. The mashed potatoes may have been drywall spackle with gravy. The grilled veggies were a little light. And this cost me 23 bucks. Waste of time, waste of money. Ton of better options in the area.

The Reuben's were really good at this place! Met a friend here and we both decided on the Reuben. I think it was probably the best Reuben I've ever had! Lots of good corned beef. Did I mention the Reuben was really good?Cute place too!Our waitress was attentive too!We will return!

Always suggest Bobby's for an authentic, indulgent brunch. Love the kitschy homey atmosphere

OK...truth. I wanted to give this review a four star because like so many restaurants I have found in the Midwest they have sulfurous tasting water, which even impacts the soda. It is simple to get a good water filter. Why restaurants don't do that baffles me. So, why did I give it a five star review? The food. It was that good...and so was the service.The place is a dive. Truly a dive that still has its Christmas decorations up going into late January. I loved it. It looked great from the outside and even the smell of the place was great from outside. My son and I shared the cheese curds, which were tasty if on the edge if slightly overdone. But maybe that is their normal. Regardless, they were good. I had the meat loaf sandwich and my son had the Bobby's burger. We both loved what we had. I love it when food is fresh and served hot. That is a lesson a lot of restaurants need to learn. Hot food is good food. On top of great food, the server was great and the other server took care of the table, promptly cleaning up our curds plates and getting us boxes for the generous portions of our sandwiches that we couldn't finish. Volo is a little out of the way, but definitely worth it for a meal here. Give it a try. You shouldn't be disappointed.

Bobby's Barrel was an unexpected gem. We were nearby and wanted lunch so in we headed. Do you want a few drinks and to watch the game? They got you covered.How about eating excellent diner food including the biggest pork chop I've ever seen? They have that too.Maybe you're feeling lucky and want to gamble? Say no more, fam - there's a mini casino too. Add in genuinely friendly service, an "up north bar" atmosphere, huge portions and fair prices - it's a winner.

I was lucky enough to see Bobby's from a morning stop at Dunkin and immediately thought that looks like a great regular space. I was then lucky enough to have time post hike at the Volo Bog to stop in for a late lunch. Sat at the wonderfully long bar and was served immediately. Traditional beer and liquor selections were perfect for the vibe. Paired a beer and a whiskey with a cup of chicken noodle soup (light on chicken for my particular ladle, but that is always a crap shoot) and cheese curds (too cheesy??!) Clearly being healthy post hike. Five stars for being exactly what they appear to be. A regular outpost along the road full of hearty food served quickly with zero pretension. Highly recommended unless you want a big screen for football. Many medium sized tvs at bar though!

Decent food, relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. Food was good - nothing spectacular but nothing wrong with it either! I would definetely go back and try other menu items!
