  I love bobs. The chicken is hands down the best around. I also appreciate the friendly atmosphere. The locals are usually pretty cool.

  Bob's has the best fried chicken and jo-jos in town. If you place an order over the phone, they quote you half an hour but it generally takes about 15 minutes. Your order consists of half of a chicken (1 breast, wing, thigh, drumstick) and an entire (large) potato that has been cut into eighths. Well worth it for the reasonable price! You also need to get some of their ranch- I'm pretty sure that it's laced with something illegal because it is so dang delicious.

  Could use a better beer selection but the chicken is great. Well worth the money, especially late after a night of bar hopping.

  Bob's Tavern is a classic old dive, apparently established in 1942. Contrary to popular opinion, the bartender Dottie has *not* been there even longer, though she *has*  been there for 30 years, and at 71, can still do a crackerjack job trading friendly barbs with the customers.
  
  In addition to Dottie, the bar interior is dominated by a semi-circular bar, and the outside by a large painting of a chicken. The drinks are pretty standard, and the patrons pleasant and humorous,often with a card game going on in the afternoon.

  Driving into Shelton from the freeway you can see the side of a building with a giant chicken painted on the side of it.
  
  Yes, you are correct, this place serves chicken.
  
  The bartender was kind, but a little slow... this could be related to the fact that I put her age somewhere in the early 70s. Beer was cold and the chicken strips were good. The potato jos, however, were probably the best I've ever had. Thick and steaming hot with the best coating imaginable, they made the trip worthwhile.
  
  Also worth noting is the men's room. If you walk in and need to use the toilet, there isn't a door to open, there's a showercurtain to open. If you use the urinal, have had a little too much to drink, and miss completely - don't fear! There is a gaping hole in the ground underneath.
  
  The moral of this story... don't go to KFC across the street, come to Bob's.
