Awesome breakfast! Every time my family comes here for breakfast, we have a great experience. If you like corned beef, you have to get their corned beef hash- it is made with real corned beef and it is hard to stop eating it! They also have great specials, this past trip that we came here, I got the Apple bread French toast with cranberry butter and it was fantastic! They really know how to do breakfast right!

Great place with excellent food and service. Loved the cute decor and atmosphere of this little place. They were busy the whole time we were there but never felt rushed at all. Staff was very friendly and the food was excellent! Was told good was a local favorite and they were right! It's a favorite for a reason.

Amazing, amazing and I'll say it again AMAZING! My girlfriend and I went to Volo auto museum and were hungry. New to the Crystal Lake area (1 year) we Googled and stumbled into Bobby's. The entire experience from the Staff, Bobby himself to the family members and the stories they shared. Let's not forget the F. O. O. D. We felt bad because it must have looked like we haven't eaten in weeks; I mean we ate everything! Biscuits and gravy-perfect. The biscuits were not doughy or floury tasting, the sausage was not too spicy and no grease running into the gravy; the gravy was excellent. REAL corned beef and hash - who does this anymore!? Winner a must have! Blueberry pancakes. Real blueberries (obviously) and damn they are just friggin good too! Most places add some vanilla extract and that makes everybody happy, I don't know what Bobby does but these pancakes blow away any others I have tried. Bread pudding - WOW sums it up. If my father were alive he would be back for the bread pudding, the corned beef hash and the biscuits and gravy as these were some of his favorites. Finally, as if we could eat anymore, the peach cobbler. Simple delicious, not over sweet and fresh peaches-this will put a smile on your face. I highly recommend this place. Bobby's Barrel is cozzy, comfortably, friendly with food that will please and suprise your taste buds! Enjoy!

Came here by recommendation of my colleague and we were NOT disappointed!!!! I got the steak salad, fiancé got Italian beef with onion rings. Steak was delicious!!!! Tried an onion ring and I loved it. I’m normally not a fan cause it’s too greasy. But these onion rings are PERFECT. Peach cobbler is a must.!!!! Do not leave Bobby’s without a peach cobbler for dessert. Will definitely be back !!!

What a place!!! Meat loaf was the best I have ever had. Everything we ate was great, peach cobbler is a must for dessert. This is a cool place to eat and have drinks, does not look like much on the outside but very cosy on the inside

Nice little place with surprisingly excellent food. I had the fish special which I usually am not a big fan of fish, but the description from the staff made me want to try it. Glad I did as it was excellent, I even took some home for dinner later that day. Looking forward to going back again soon.

The two piece chicken dinner was wonderful. I chose mashed potatoes and the stir fried vegetables as my side. It even came with a soft dinner roll

From the time we arrived until the second we left, we were treated with such a gracious and kind attitude. Service was phenomenal and the food was incredibly delicious! They truly took the time to get to know us during our time there as well. We will 100% be back, just for the lovely people we met during our lunch (and the tasty meatloaf dinner). Thank you so much for the wonderful meal and for making this an amazing experience for our 3 year old!

This was my first time here. After a very delicious, obvious homemade meal, my first impression can only be described as a real hidden gem! The staff was so friendly and attentive...wish we had left room for the homemade 🥧. Will definitely go back regardless of the 1 hour drive.

My wife and I were visiting friends out in the area there and drove right by Bobby's. Did a uee, came back and we weren't disappointed. My wife had the patty melt and fruit, and it was a good size piece of meat on that Patty melt. I had the broasted chicken with mashed potatoes and coleslaw. A couple of Millers for me and ginger ale for my wife. And to top it all off, some peach cobbler that was very tasty and original.Talking to the owner, real interesting backstory on the place. I really enjoyed the ambiance, you're not bored while you're waiting for your food. Friendly nice folks.

Good food in a small pub atmosphere. Would definitely go back. They offer Wednesday and Friday, Fish Fries. This Chicken sandwich on a Chibatta Roll with Fresh Spinach and Tomato was very good. I wish the sauce had a little more flavor. The home made Cole Slaw was excellent. The Southwest Steak Wrap my daughter ordered was also quite tasty. But again the sauce could have had a little more flavor. My other daughter enjoyed her Cheese Burger and the Cheese Curds. Service was friendly, and attentive.(A 4.4)
