Bob's Small Town Grille

What a nice surprise! After packing up my Mom's home to get it ready to put on the market, she, my daughter Meredith, and I were tired, hot and hungry. So we did an Internet search of Royston, GA to see what might be available for a take out dinner. Wow. My steak was divine. Meredith's crab cakes (yes, in North GA!) were wonderful. We enjoyed every bite. I just wish we had had time to enjoy the ambiance of the restaurant near the railroad. Thanks, Bob, for a great meal. P.S. We hope you found a good home for the dog!

Bob's has a vision that's beyond the typical Franklin County restaurant. For those of us who have experienced small-town restaurants as well as more metropolitan offerings, it's easy to see that Bob's is attempting to do the latter in a culture saturated with the former.

When I first tried Bob's, I was in college, and found it to be a really great place for lunch. I'd bring out-of-town friends here, find reasons to have lunch dates, and absolutely inhale the steak salad on a regular basis. (Back before I stopped eating the animals, you know.)

What I love is that you have to come early, or they'll be out of mac and cheese. Bob is a presence, and will come out and see your table, making sure everything "came out all right."

There's a bar, which my beer-loving self appreciates, but the joint itself is far from being "a bar." There aren't many restaurants in Royston that are willing to serve alcohol, mostly because it's a VERY conservative town, but I see the most conservative of them all hanging out at Bob's on a regular basis, so it must not bother them too much! ;)

I've never ordered something I didn't like, and have always found the service to be top-notch. If you're in the area, it's one of the finest places to dine.

WOW! This place is great for a late lunch.
Service was good,  the waitress was prompt and bubbly. The food was delicious, save room for desert. Bob stopped by the table to make sure all was well.
Lots of beer and wine choices. I had the local muscadine wine, a treat.
We will definitely stop by on our way back through Royston.
