About The Bobbed Bandit

The Bobbed Bandit offers a warm and inviting atmosphere with friendly staff. Their burger is highly acclaimed, and the grilled romanesco is also a standout dish. The restaurant has an intriguing history as the former site of a pharmacy that was robbed by a pregnant "bobbed bandit" a century ago. Locals have embraced this neighborhood gem, praising its delicious food, creative cocktails, and welcoming team. The menu is limited but dishes are so well prepared that many visit just to enjoy the food and ambiance rather than to drink. The seitan, broccoli rabe, and provolone sandwich, a recent addition to the menu, is fabulous and comes with perfectly seasoned fries. Brunch offerings are also excellent, and the food is pleasantly satisfying with appropriately sized portions. The cozy, warm environment makes it a perfect place to hang out for hours. The friendly service is down to earth, and the cocktail menu features favorites like Mexcal, Bourbon, and Tequila, adding to the overall charm of the place. Visitors often find the environment quaint, charming, and calm, making it a lovely spot to relax and enjoy good food. Recent reviews mention that the food is tasty but sometimes the burger bun can be soggy, and some dishes like hush puppies and kale salad may be bland. Customers also appreciate the well-made drinks, especially the Tall Accomplice, and many recommend their burger, chicken and waffles, and fish and chips, which they say is the best they’ve had. Although service is friendly, wait times can be long, especially during busy hours, with some waiting 30 minutes to an hour for food.
