Bob’s Steak & Chop House specializes in serving big, flavorful steaks that are hand-selected from the top two percent of USDA prime beef along with Texas-sized portions of our award-winning sides. Mouth-watering, legendary seafood and cuts of meat are delicious as we use homemade and local ingredients to enhance the flavor of our signature menu items. When it comes to Wine, each Bob’s carries a large selection — usually 300 to 500 wines — beyond our core list of favorites. In-house wine buyers select wines from all over the world to satisfy local clientele and regulars at each of our locations. Each Bob’s utilizes climate-controlled wine cellars and features Wine of the Month for our guests to try. Bob's Steak & Chop House is open for dinner only and closed on Sundays.
