    Bobarinos was great! They were busy and understaffed like most restaurants these days, so the service was a tad slow, but Alyssa (our server) was clearly doing her best running around like crazy and apologized for delays. The pizza was delicious, ambience great downtown GR, and very fair price. Juels Hudson is also awesome BTW.

    It took 30min to get our drinks and place our order. We did not see our food for an hour and a half. Otherwise the food was great.

    Food was good! Waitress was excellent. The place was nearly empty at 5 pm before a Griffins Friday night game. I was surprised at that. Learned from the waitress that the BOB was closing at the end of the year. Sad to hear.

    Just the average run of the mill bar food. I was excited to eat the wood fire pizzas but was left feeling unsatisfied.. It reminded me or a pizza you'd grab from the local gas station. I decided to give it another try and came back for a second visit. Tried the chipotle chicken lettuce wraps. The meat, onions, peppers came out in a bowl of what looked like soup. I was a bit confused at first but went with it.. The flavors were ok but I had to add salt and pepper to give it a bit more as it was lacking something.. My son had a burger and he commented that is was good even though they prepared it incorrectly. Dessert we had the lave cake and it was decent. Over all I wouldn't recommend this place. It was very MEH. The plus side is the location and why we decided to give it a try but after 2 visits we won't be coming back.

    Great food, great service from hosts to servers. So glad to have a reservation close to Van Andel before seeing a Trevor Noah. They easily accommodated our extra guest.

    Wonderful service. Took 5 college boys to dinner. Everyone was able to find something delicious. Even with drinks the price was reasonable for 8 people. Server (wish I remembered her name!!) was fantastic!! Walkable from our hotel.
