Formerly known as the German restaurant Gebhardt’s, Bob’s Place serves up New American cuisine, in which traditional American dishes are prepared with influences from other parts of the globe. To give the customer a fuller dining experience, each dinner is served on a different style plate — no two plates at one table are the same.
“Your mom will not only be impressed with the food, but with the ambience as well,” said Bob Manning, Owner, Bob’s Place. “We also have a vase with fresh flowers at every table because we know women love to be surrounded by beautiful things. Our ladies’ room has fresh linens to give it a homelike atmosphere. Even in these difficult economic times, we spare no expense in treating our customers the way they would like to be treated.”
“Our restaurant may have a typical American name, but the food is anything but typical,” Mr. Manning continued. “The price point is on target. People will also be impressed by the ambience of the restaurant with flowers at every table, and the various styles of plates for each dish. We just don’t meet the customer’s expectations, we exceed them.”
