Sorry to see that Bobs has closed, this was a good place to go for a quick and affordable lunch. We can only hope something goes in to the location to address the same downtown lunch crowd.

It was quiet when I went in and the (female) bar-person was not at all Bob or surly; she was cheerful and helpful.
