My friends and I decided to try out Barefoot Bob's after a nice fun day at the beach. When I first saw it, the tiki bar looked nice and the out door patio looked nice but because we had such a big party we decided to eat indoors rather than wait for a table. (Thank god because it ended up down pouring rain). Some of us were disappointed that there were no "Famous bob's lobster rolls" and all of our soda's were flat.
Half my friends, including my boyfriend ordered the fishermans platter (mix of fried clams, scallops, and shrimp). The fisherman's platter was horrible. Nothing but grease and oil. The scallops and shrimps were tiny and the clam strips barely had any clams to it at all. Definitely not worth the $20. I've definitely had WAY better.
Then there was the steak tips with BBQ flavor. Half the steak tips were raw on the inside and extremely chewy and soft. Definitely undercooked. My friends had the chowder and it was way too salty. They also didn't enjoy their cheeseburgers. (idk how you could mess that one up! Apparently even McDonalds does a better job at making burgers. smh)
Overall, not worth going to eat. You're better off buying food from the stands if you're in Hull, less expensive and would taste better. I can't believe this place was on Kitchen Nightmares with Gordon Ramsay. We definitely will not be back.
I was super excited to try out barefoot bob's beach grill after watching their episode on kitchen nightmare. and after a day of beach fun, i dragged my group of 12 friends there. The patio looked nice but because our party was so large, we were seated inside. the decor was poorly done and it was so dimly lit.
For starters, their sodas were flat and tasteless. We ordered onion rings and their "famous" clam chowders... the onion rings were ehh, nothing too great but not bad. their clam chowder had to be the saltiest thing ever! When I was able to flag down a waitress and asked if it was normally that salty, her response was ... "well, its made by the ocean"... I'm not sure what that meant ...
They ran out of the lobster roll and so me and half of my group ordered their fisherman's plate. nothing but batter and disgusting oil, no taste... just BLEH ! their mash was cold and there was absolutely no seasoning what so ever (should've poured the clam chowder over it). mickey d's makes better fries than them!
my waitress was nice and although she didn't bring us everything in a timely manner, she didn't forget anything either.
its safe to say that i will not be returning to Barefoot Bob's ever again.
This place has been going down hill for years.  It's finally hit rock bottom.  Went there today for lunch....most of the staff is gone and the new staff is rude and lazy. One of our foursome was not eating so we were informed we could not have  high top outside unless EVERYONE ordered food.  WTF?   The place is dirty.......God know's what the kitchen is like. I hope someone buys it and fixes what is wrong.  It's just awful.  We used to go everyday during the summer.  Not anymore.  Now we do the Parrot of Daddies.......which are not much better but at least the people are decent and they're clean.  Bye, bye Bob's.
