Reviews for Bobby's Barrel in Round Lake, IL
We were there for my son?s Navy graduation and wanted some homestyle food. Staff was amazing like their food. I can?t recall the... names of the plates but they were super good my daughter order a small pizza, I thought it was going to be like microwave pizzabut it wasn?t. I think we all took a piece from her pizza, because it was super good. We really appreciated the staff. We nevergot ruched out, they helped to explain their menu and made some suggestions. At the end my son got a free dessert for hisachievement. I would definitely be back and recommend this place. Read more
Amazing, amazing and I'll say it again AMAZING! My girlfriend and I went to Volo auto museum and were hungry. New to the Crystal... Lake area (1 year) we Googled and stumbled into Bobby's. The entire experience from the Staff, Bobby himself to the familymembers and the stories they shared. Let's not forget the F. O. O. D. We felt bad because it must have looked like we haven'teaten in weeks; I mean we ate everything! Biscuits and gravy-perfect. The biscuits were not doughy or floury tasting, thesausage was not too spicy and no grease running into the gravy; the gravy was excellent. REAL corned beef and hash - who doesthis anymore!? Winner a must have! Blueberry pancakes. Real blueberries (obviously) and damn they are just friggin good too!Most places add some vanilla extract and that makes everybody happy, I don't know what Bobby does but these pancakes blow awayany others I have tried. Bread pudding - WOW sums it up. If my father were alive he would be back for the bread pudding, thecorned beef hash and the biscuits and gravy as these were some of his favorites. Finally, as if we could eat anymore, the peachcobbler. Simple delicious, not over sweet and fresh peaches-this will put a smile on your face. I highly recommend this place.Bobby's Barrel is cozzy, comfortably, friendly with food that will please and suprise your taste buds! Enjoy! Read more

What a place!!! Meat loaf was the best I have ever had. Everything we ate was great, peach cobbler is a must for dessert. This... is a cool place to eat and have drinks, does not look like much on the outside but very cosy on the inside Read more
Nice little place with surprisingly excellent food. I had the fish special which I usually am not a big fan of fish, but the... description from the staff made me want to try it. Glad I did as it was excellent, I even took some home for dinner later thatday. Looking forward to going back again soon. Read more
My wife and I were visiting friends out in the area there and drove right by Bobby's. Did a uee, came back and we weren't... disappointed. My wife had the patty melt and fruit, and it was a good size piece of meat on that Patty melt. I had the broastedchicken with mashed potatoes and coleslaw. A couple of Millers for me and ginger ale for my wife. And to top it all off, somepeach cobbler that was very tasty and original. Talking to the owner, real interesting backstory on the place. I really enjoyedthe ambiance, you're not bored while you're waiting for your food. Friendly nice folks. Read more
Good food in a small pub atmosphere. Would definitely go back. They offer Wednesday and Friday, Fish Fries. This Chicken... sandwich on a Chibatta Roll with Fresh Spinach and Tomato was very good. I wish the sauce had a little more flavor. The homemade Cole Slaw was excellent. The Southwest Steak Wrap my daughter ordered was also quite tasty. But again the sauce could havehad a little more flavor. My other daughter enjoyed her Cheese Burger and the Cheese Curds. Service was friendly, andattentive. (A 4.4) Read more
October 2022 Once again the cod AYCE is just superb! The service is excellent. Very attentive, without being a nuisance. I would... have given 5?this time except for what they called a peach cobbler, really wasn't. It was warm peaches in sauce covered with abig scoop of vanilla ice cream whipped cream, caramel sauce and beads that resembled a crumble. There wasn't any biscuit orcake, which is what I was really looking forward to. Not a bowl full of peaches swimming in sauce. Very disheartening. Go forthe fish, service and ambiance. Go to Jewel for dessert. May 2022 Excellent!! Hubby and I had the all-you-can-eat cod fish fry.We both had the beer batter, which at first, it is not your regular thick pancakie batter. Instead it was light and just enoughto cover and let the true taste of the fish to shine through. I them tried a piece of the Garlic broiled piece. Mmmm, yummy!That was so good. I literally made a pig of myself by eating 8 pieces of fish. Bit it was so good, I just couldn't help myself.Wednesday and Friday all you can eat. The antique chachkies gave this place its charm. Only downside, there is an "old" mustysmell to the place. Read more
