I've been to Bobbys many times and was always fantastic. The food still is. The service has gone downhill. It's a ghost town almost every night, sad to see a neighbourhood pub so empty. Last 2-3 recent experiences have been less the ideal with an extremely rude manager that seems to not want to serve customers or treat staff correctly.

I was very happy to see some great menu items for food and drink. Haggis about 5.5/10 however still good given its in Alberta. Our server Victoria was amazing. The management/ownership also very very kind as well. Only two things id suggest are increasing portion size of wings as well as informing guests about no coffee refills. $4/cup of coffee, especially drip coffee (if it is, I am not too sure) ... should be free or at least let the guest be made aware. Other than that I do recommend this place. A solid 7.8/10. I will definitely return.

When you see a sign in their entrance stating best classic fish and chips you’d expect they’d be pretty good. My guess is the water logged, unseasoned fish had the batter slide right off on the way to the fryer. And possibly it was then thrown on a plate that wasn’t dry since when I cut my first bite water flooded out. Beer was pretty flat. We ate our meals, that’s what we ordered. But at the end after paying we did mention to the server that it wasn’t good and we were told it was made by the head cook. Wow. Maybe take the sign down.

We had been to Bobby’s Place in Legacy once before and weren’t wowed by the food, but decided to give it another shot on Saturday for the live music. Unfortunately, this visit was even more disappointing.
The service on their patio was short and to the point, but friendly, and the live music was enjoyable, but the atmosphere leaves much to be desired. The pub vibe inside sadly falls flat.
The menu was a novel… over 60 items, and food was overpriced for the quality. $21.99 for a handful of low quality steak bites and $17.99 for a small portion of previously frozen calamari was excessive, especially when the taste was mediocre at best.
We walked away feeling both regretful and underwhelmed. It’s a real shame, because we live within walking distance and would have loved to support a local spot. Sadly, we won’t be returning.

I have been frequenting Bobby’s for several years (back when it was in Braeside) and in general have always enjoyed it, and is now my local pub in legacy. The food is decent nothing to write home about, often go for the wings but have always thought the food is a bit overpriced for what you get. The beer is hit and miss often too warm or flat. I have to say though the service here the past year has been absolutely horrible! There are a couple of servers in particular that are so unfriendly it makes me never want to come back. Throws the menus down without a hello “do you know what you want?” Like seriously? And we are expected to tip? (This server I have had SEVERAL times and her attitude and service is the same every time) They don’t check up on you often if you need anything and if they do they are rude about it and never crack a smile. If you are on the patio expect to wait 30 mins before you even see one. As a small local business I would expect the service to go above and beyond to connect to people in the community, talk and build rapport with the customers to help with repeat business. It’s very disappointing that the pub now makes you feel like you are not welcome there when you are paying customers keeping the business open. As someone who has worked in customer service industry for the past 20 years I strongly suggest some training for your staff. Hopefully there are some improvements coming and I will start to visit again.

My family and I went for a supposed wings night, but it feels like I paid for a full appetizer. We also had nachos, which wasn’t worth it for the price either, barely had any cheese and tomatoes for the price of $28 🫣

Went for the first time today on Father’s Day and sat on the patio. We were one of 4 tables it was not busy (there was only 2 of us). We sat for 35 minutes before anyone even acknowledged we were there. The table next to us kindly brought over a menu while we were waiting. Finally when a waitress did come over she asked if we had been helped and when we replied no she said she isn’t our server but could get us drinks if we wanted... We asked if we could please order food since we’ve already decided and been waiting so long. Our drinks then took another 25 minutes. We were there almost a hour before even getting a water or a drink. The food arrived about 10 minutes later. The food was very average nothing special the steak bites were salty and tough. No one ever apologized for the wait or seemed to care that we were there. Definitely would not go back but hope they start taking the feedback from the reviews and work the get better. Would hate to see another small business close down due to such poor service.
Love this place but they are notorious for understaffing. Typically you'll find one server for the entire bar scrambling around trying to service the patio and main bar it's ridiculous. So food and drinks come very slow. I don't blame the server they are usually lovely and apologetic this falls on whoever is managing this place. They are obviously trying to cut staff hours to save a buck and it shows

Yesterday I came to bobby's place with my mom for a late lunch and a beer. It's been a while since I've been here, but I remember it as a place with great food and great service. Yesterday's experience was really disappointing. The place had 2 other tables with people - not busy at all. It look a while for the server to come over and bring menus and take our drink order. We ordered 2 beers, and wanted to order the Bangers & Mash - it's my fav dish here and it was always delicious. I was told that it's been discontinued. The menu isn't updated, nor is the website. I ordered the sausage rolls and mash, and my mom got the upside down Sheppard's pie. My meal was Ok, but I wouldn't recommend. The mash lacked flavour, and wasn't very warm, and the sausage rolls were dry - not sure they are made in house. The Sheppard's pie was a huge disappointment. It was drowning in gravy, there was hardly any veg or meat. The dish was mostly potatoes, and for some reason there was cheese. $22 for a dish that was mostly mashed potatoes seems like a rip off. My mom didn't even eat 1/4 of it and sent it back to the kitchen because it was so bad. We were surprised to see that there was no discount on the bill, and no manager came out to speak to us. Our server went back and they ended up discounting her dish 50%. Fine. From other reviews it sounds like there has been an ownership change, and maybe this explains the decline in the food. If this is the case, I highly recommend they reevaluate the direction they are going in. It's branded as an Irish pub - and these dishes are staples to Irish pub culture. I'm not sure we will be back.
