I always try to find a small local place to eat and this one right here is definitely a must. I've been twice and both times were great. I had the chicken philly and a burger so far.

I want to say 3-4 stars for ambiance and 5 stars for the food. The place is a dump, very unimpressive inside. That's fine, but the awful smell of fish or something else cooking was so off-putting my son wanted to leave the minute we walked in. However, I'm glad we didn't leave. The lady at the cash register was friendly and sent our order back immediately. We each ordered bacon cheeseburger lunch specials that include fries and a drink. When the food came out, it was so hot and fresh we had to give it a minute to cool off. There were plenty of fries and they were good. The booth was stocked with salt, pepper, ketchup and hot sauce. The server offered other dipping sauces (Ranch and Honey Mustard) and she brought them right out when my son asked for them. The coke he ordered and the diet coke I ordered were...as expected. The bacon cheeseburgers were dynamite! One of the best burgers I've had in years! I've had nothing like it in at least 10 years, maybe ever. Super fresh, great beef burger and condiments were all fresh and great tasting. The burger itself, no exaggeration was about a full 16 ounces! Ridiculous! It was almost too big! Great tasting and fresh. I'd never been there before, but I will definitely go back. Again, 5-star place hands down if it wasn't for that awful smell when we walked in.

My cheeseburger at Big Bob's City Grill was one of the best burgers I've had in a very long time! The burger was fresh, cooked to perfection and HUGE! You may want to share it with someone. The fries are also delicious with a nice seasoning blend. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Check them out if you're in the area

I'm so mad at my friends for not telling me about this place sooner. Like, I'm literally a little ticked off at a few of them that I told about this place and they're like, "Oh yeah, I know...they're amazing!" And you didn't tell me??? Whatever. We came here for lunch and both got the cheeseburger with a side and drink....this ended up being about 2.5 each! The quality and quantity of food that you get for the amount you pay cannot be beat. The cheeseburger was as big as my face! And the okra was to die for! (My husband did say that he wasn't a big fan of the fries but only because they tasted like they were fried in the same oil as the fish.) When you pull up to this establishment, it's not much to look at...and honestly, neither is the inside. BUT everyone is very friendly and did I mention how cheap and good the food is? I'm looking forward to our next visit there. I definitely want to try the fried porkchops and the fried fish. And no matter what I'll be getting a side of okra (only $3!!!)

Big Bob's is consistently great. A locally owned business with great customer service. The food is always good. Hot, well seasoned. What you would want to cook at home but don't have to put the work in to. This is a great go to restaurant any day of the week. It's pretty small inside so I get take out. The pork chops are are huge and so good. Burgers - again huge. Shrimp and fish are great. Everything is bigger that you think it will be.

I can't say enough about this place! This is good home cooking and the people !!!!! They are PRECIOUS!! Seriously, the food is fantastic, I don't care what you get, it's sure to be good. No frills, but dang! Get the fish, the livers, the hotdogs, ANYTHING!!! And be nice to those folks and leave a good tip, they deserve it! I wish I had taken pics but I was too busy eating.

When you pull up, do not be put off by the size of it because this place is cranking out big flavor! The gentlemen inside were so friendly and fast, I did not wait long, at all, for my food. There are few tables to eat at inside but mostly what I saw, and what I did as well, was carry out. I knew I was coming for a burger, the only decision I had to make was hamburger, cheeseburger or bacon cheeseburger. I went with the bacon cheeseburger, came up to about $13 and came with fries and a drink. The gentleman at the counter confirmed everything I wanted on my burger and I patiently waited. My order came out and the gentleman behind the counter showed me my order, I laughed, he laughed and then gave me utensils so that I could cut this massive burger in half!! This burger was juicy, the bacon was crispy, the fries were crunchy with the perfect amount of seasoning salt. I wish I could've eaten the entire plate but I just couldn't and I don't know many that could. Let me tell you, one regret I have is that I do not live closer to this place. If you're driving down 85 between Mebane and Durham or Chapel Hill, do yourself a favor and stop here, keeping in mind, they close a little early!
