    A real enjoyable meal. Flew into Austin to spend time with our daughter and wanted to have a first class dinner out. Was not disappointed in the least as every aspect of our dinner was top notch. Our waiter was very professional and friendly (Sam) and had a great personality. The filet mignon ordered medium were cooked medium and were extremely tasty. I had the bourbon pork chop which was cooked perfectly medium. The sides of corn and bacon as well as the mashed potatoes were delicious. To wash all this food down, we drank a Pinot Noir from Oregon which was priced fairly . For dessert, two orders of home made berry sorbet . The three of us were stuffed but not overly. When the check came I did not suffer sticker shock, all facets of the dinner was priced right.

    A friend recommended Bob's, and I could not be more pleased with the recommendation. I rarely follow up with reviews, yet felt compelled to share my experience given how outstanding it was. Quite simply, one of the best dinners that I have experienced and maybe the best steak that I have eaten. I ordered the Kansas City Bone In Ribeye and I was blown away by the quality of the prime cut and how juicy and tasty it was when eaten. Simply outstanding job of preparing it to be served. The ambience was impressive and Clarence our server was a true professional with a big personality. I highly recommend this establishment!
