Bobo's Steakhouse

Considering one of our leads at work didn't get this reserved TILL LATE! It was actually a great time! Bobo's is a small little place, but it's very homey and the bar is really cool!Our whole team really enjoyed our holiday dinner in the private room!We ordered clam chowder, crab cakes, porterhouses and some tomahawk steaks!Everything was great and even the drinks were good too. It's not the flashiest place but if you have a decently small team and you want a private room without all of the rif raf. Great place to go!

Really good old school steak house. There are other steak houses in San Francisco as good, but this is up there with the other good ones.Nothing that makes this one stand out. But also, nothing that makes it less than the other top steak houses.

Wanting to try something new with a bunch of people who are getting old (including me), I made a reservation for a late weeknight dinner here on a Tuesday. Many of our group have not seen each other in twenty or more years so it definitely qualifies as a reunion meal. Never having dined here before, I remembered that valet parking was available here prior to March 2020. When confirming my reservation, I asked the young lady for parking advice and she told me that we were allowed to park in the motel spaces since they share the parking lot with the motel. After entering, the hostess brought us to the dining to the right, just behind her stand.After a short discussion, we reached a consensus that we'd each order our entree and share a few appetizers and sides family style.Here's what I tried:Appetizers, all shared1. Iceberg Wedge salad (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=W_2Rlyb3NwA58uEr71ONEw) - "iceberg babies" with pancetta, Pt. Reye's bleu cheese dressing, and toy box tomatoes. Refreshing, crunchy, this deceivingly was enough for three people as a starter to share.2. Bobo's style Bacon slab (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=EuwGTdCxUZaZxSF1xi1xbg) - Jack Daniels pineapple glaze w/red chilies, and chives. What's not to like about tender, melt in your mouth pork belly with a 70/30 meat to fat ratio. It is on the sweet side so the mashed potatoes under this balances the flavors.Sides, all shared3. Maui onion ring (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=PF3M9JpDcU2oVWDRNWLZmg) - in beer batter w/sriracha aioli. Pretty self explanatory, I had three pieces though the aioli is on the mild side.4. Portabello mushrooms (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=QBwqMBW8FUwwDVe4Rtgiyg) - capers, butter, lemon, white wine. Three or four bites were all I had so not much of an opinion on this.5. Baked cream corn (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=j-A3GPLl5Fk5kMsbSMnwZw) - sweet corn, butter, cheese, and pangrattato. It was different with a crusty top and pretty thick in texture.6. Loaded baked potato (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=ArzXPo3W9c2s-siBUIbAWA) - chives, four cheeses, and bacon. A friend added this as most of us were finishing our meals so I ate most of it with my unfinished steak pieces at home. Hearty, cheesy, and rich, the bacon mashed bits mashed well with the potato.Main:7. Porterhouse, medium rare (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=ok2zU2eWzh2u7Lch7wKVEQ) - 34+ oz. when available. I guess there is a limited supply on a given night, this was my choice between this and the bone-in filet (touted as Bobo's pride and creation). This was visually impressive and equally portion and flavor wise, served on a literal cutting board and pre-sliced. It was closer to medium and medium well for the outside pieces, coming with a metal container of steak juices. I wish they offered a variety of steak sauces besides this and ketchup, an opinion shared by several fellow diners. My leftovers were actually more tasty when I reheated them at home a few days later.Dessert:8. Chocolate lava cake with vanilla ice cream (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=lxF8G_aXG32BeYmKDasOBw) - This was a nice finisher but beware that it is not a warm cake (not a souffle).Our waiter Danny and our server were both helpful and efficient in guiding us and making sure all empty plates were removed and glasses refilled or removed. There were two other tables of two occupied as we ate. From reading Cherylnn N's (https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=eKUGKQRE-Ywi5dY55_zChg) ancient review (2010), there is an upstairs dining room too. The bar is attractive with an old school vibe. It's an old school type of place and solid for low key parties.

Everything about this restaurant was absolutely amazing! Our server was nice and friendly! The tomahawk steak was cooked to perfection. The restaurant is nice, cozy with great decor! Over all it was amazing highly recommend this place!

First off, I've lived in the SF area almost my whole life and I am shocked that I e never heard of this joint. The ambiance is super old school and they have a lil parking garage right under (free). We got an order of the mashed potatoes, garlic fries, and Maui onion rings. I went with the bone-in ribeye medium rare. All the sides were solid, nothing special. But that ribeye was a pretty good! I will have to come back and try some other cuts!

I went here the past Friday for the first time for my husband's birthday. The decor is jester themed but done tastefully. Our table had private curtains but was pretty small and hard to hold our food.We ordered the yellowtail carpaccio, porter house , brussels, mushrooms and a whole crab. My husband thoughroly enjoyed his food and so did I. My favorites in order were 1. and the steak with the delicious flavored sauce 2. Carpaccio and 3. the crab with the crab garlic butter. Their price point on the crab was fair as well which I appreciated!Service was a slow and they weren't very attentive at times (we had to ask to have our steak cut and for our food to be boxed up). They also ended up throwing away our mushrooms instead of boxing them up to our disappointment.The food and value carried, and overshadowed the slowness.

I have been craving a juicy Filet Mignon and Bobo's did not disappoint. I was pleasantly surprised when I found out they had a pre fixed menu for $75 per person. It comes with a starter, Entree and Dessert. For a starter I got the Caesar Salad. It was very light and refreshing. For my Entree I got the Petite Filet Mignon 6 oz with Garlic Mashed Potato & Creamy Spinach. The filet was cooked perfectly and so juicy. Just was I wanted and was expecting. The mashed potatoes were also so fluffy, smooth and melt in your mouth. I'm not a huge fan of creamy spinach but this one was really good. After I cleaned my plate it was time for dessert and I got the Italian Gelato. Wow, a perfect ending to a great meal!

Steakhouse date night? What's not to love.Bobo's is a spot my family took me many moons ago, so coming back after almost 10 years, it felt a bit nostalgic. They're known for their bone-in filet which I knew I had to order. Before the main dish we started with a few appetizers. Iron-skillet shrimp: We shared a single order, which comes with around 14 shrimp on a hot sizzling iron skillet with tons of butter and garlic. It's a peel off situation, and damn I could've eaten more of these. Would 100% order again. Crab Cakes - these were tasty but not outta this world. $19.95 for two, it's not something I'd say I need to have but if the table wanted it, I'd eat it again.House bread ($3.50) - not a huge fan, ate a couple of a bites and we were done. I think if the bread was warm or slightly toasted I'd enjoy it more. For sides we tried the garlic mash, creamy spinach, and mac n cheese. All were really tasty, and nothing was left behind. The Mac n cheese was my favorite, it was hella cheesy, hella crispy, and with a little extra salt and pepper, I ended up eating more than I should have. For mains: the bone in filet was so tasty and cooked to a perfect medium rare. I'm usually a ribeye guy, but since they are known for the filet, I had to get it. The steak is served a la carte with no sauces or anything but the steak speaks for itself. The lobster was massive and tasty. It doesn't come with butter so we asked for a side which was a must. For drinks, the cocktails we got were delicious. The blood orange margarita was so tasty, and the q-ball was delightful, would order both again. We ended up spending $300+, so it's not a spot we'd come often but good for a once in a while type thing. If you are looking for the experience, but don't want to spend a ton, I think going for their $55 prefix menu is the way to go. You get your choice of a select appetizer, main, mashed potato, creamy spinach and a gelato, which is going to be filling. We got a reservation online for the private booth with curtain and it was a lovely experience overall for a fun dat night. We left full and happy. Shout out to our waiter Jose for amazing service!

I think this is one of the best steakhouses in SF. We came here to celebrate my graduation, and the staff was amazing. I had made a reservation a few months in advance and had to add more people multiple times, and Bobo's had no problem accommodating. I wasn't sure how long the ceremony would last, and when we showed up about 45 minutes early, they made space for us in the bar and started getting our table ready. They have beer, wine, and cocktails. They put us in a little room off of the main area and made sure we were comfortable. The staff came and checked on us constantly and new let our drinks get low. Our waitress recommended the crispy crab cakes and crab & spinach fondue to start, and both were amazing. The fondue is out of this world. We ordered a bunch of sides to share, my favorite was the Maui onion ring, and everyone got a steak. I had the filet mignon, and it was cooked to medium-rare perfection. All of the food was cooked perfectly and came out hot, which is hard to do with a group of 11. To finish, Bobo's brought out a special dessert that said "contracts," and we ordered a few others to share. I forgot to get pictures because I was enjoying the company, but I would love to come back.

The ambiance was great. Really cool pictures and decor! The cocktails were great, and the staff were really nice. The food was good. Let's start with the streak. Nice char on it and cooked medium rare. But to be honest, it was just ok for me. The brussel sprouts were a no for me. They needed to be cooked more and Needed some char. The Mac and cheese was by far the highlight of the night! Best Mac and cheese I've ever had! Five cheeses mixed together with a crust on top! And for my bday they brought out a tiny ice cream cone filled with mousse. It was pretty good. All in all, it was a good experience and I would come back for the mac and cheese! Oh! One more thing.. the clam chowder was amazing as well!
