My choice on this visit was a Classic Hamburger with the classic trifecta of Lettuce, Tomato, Onions and good 'ole fresh locally sourced bacon with a slice of Pepper-jack cheese.. I asked for my fries to be well-done so they have a little crispness to them and topped with off with typical condiments. I can't remember if Bobs has gravy, so you will have to ask when you visit. The condiments are fresh and changed regularly, and Bob's serves a few house-made sauces as well to add to the choices.
