Annual weekend trip to Grand Rapids and went to the B.O.B. for craft beers and dinner. Ordered the brisket mac & cheese - TERRIBLE. No cheese, just plain noodles and fatty meat. WAY OVER PRICED. Craft beer was good, but don't waste your money on the food. - much better places to eat at downtown! And heads up - the waitress automatically hands you your bill with a 25% gratuity

Bob looks so much different then prior to Covid. All 2 floors are mostly bars. I liked the addition of ping pong tables, outdoor patio. Crowded with 20 something kids. Seems like HOME is where the older crowd (not too many) was at on Saturday night.

Great place to enjoy the night life in Grand rapids. The stand up comedy is stellar, the pizza is bomb, and the beer choice is incredible. Big crowds but well managed by caring staff.

The moment we walked in a waitress scolded us. My group was unsure how to use the beer wall and instead of pointing us in the right direction a waitress told us we were breaking it and would be kicked out. Not sure if she was having a bad day, but help would’ve been appreciated instead of threatening us

We are so happy that the BOB is back open. We were heading to see a show upstairs at Dr. Grins.When going online, to Open Table , it looked as though every table was booked at the two restaurants that are serving right now. However, upon getting a hold of somebody at the service desk, I was told that the Open Table app does not apply. The downside is I think a lot of people aren't utilizing the fabulous restaurants that are back open to eat there because they assume that all the tables are booked. Lucky for us, we called ahead and discovered this wasn't true. I highly suggest that this is updated in their system , as to not lose future customers. We miss the hay days of the Bob when it was packed with all ages and served magnificent food and was hopping on every floor. It was our go-to when we had people visiting from out of town. There was something there for everybody. We ended up having a terrific meal at Bob's Brewery. Our appetizer was cheese roulette, the secret being two or three jalapeno cheese stuffed bites! These were fried to perfection. They did not disappoint. We also asked for the barbecued mac and cheese which we had served deconstructed. The noodles were cooked perfect and the meat was so tender. The barbecue sauce was amazing and we probably should have had it served the way they normally do.We'd like to say thank you to our bartender,Rip!He seems to have been a stable in the building off and on throughout the years. We reminisced about the different food and restaurants that have been there, and he is crossing his fingers along with us, to see the BOB come back to its previous glory.

Great beer, service and food. Always great to see Dave and other bartenders at the Bob. Why they serve beer in plastic cups I have no idea. Plus the price of beer went up 20% from before they reopened. Best reason to go there is it’s directly across from VanAndel that charges astronomic prices for food and beer!?

A quick hello before a show, an evening of multilevel adventure, a last dance on a goodnight, this building has something for everyone! I’m so glad this GR monument is breathing it’s beat! West MI wouldn’t be H.O.M.E with out it!

Well, let me say this: The name is Big Ol’ Building, and that this place is, indeed! This place does have a really cool bar area, and an interesting history behind it. This place was something like a factory at one time! Anyways, the food here is usually really good. Went to the buffet and tried the burgers. Those were delicious! The atmosphere of this place is also amazingly top notch! If you like buffet-style meals, give the BOB a try!
