THEYRE GETTING RID OF THE CHICKEN PARM SANDWHICH PLEASE BRING IT BACK PLEASE

Typical Sports Bar in an unusual looking building. Fair prices. I had the wings (decent), certainly not their specialty.

Bobby V. (Valentine) Memorabilia. Boxing Ring (ropes & all) elevated seating if you'd like. Cool place! Drafts & beer selection is a bit lacking.

Great Bar Food! Wow! Have lived in DFW for 20 years and this is the best bar food for the price I have ever had to this day. Drinks are affordable and the atmosphere and service has always been on point except forba couple bad apples. Overall the best bar for me and my friends and family! I wouldn't steer you wrong.

** Bobby V's Sports Bar & Grill - A Legendary Comeback with a Few Setbacks**

Bobby V’s Sports Bar & Grill, a beloved Arlington staple founded by legendary Major League player and former manager Bobby Valentine, has been a cornerstone for sports fans and food lovers alike for decades. In its heyday, the restaurant was more than just a place to grab a bite – it was a shrine to baseball history, with walls adorned with memorabilia and a menu that consistently delivered. But like many long-standing establishments, Bobby V’s faced a decline in quality and atmosphere after Bobby sold it off years ago. Disappointing food, inconsistent service, and an interior that fell into disrepair caused many loyal customers, ourselves included, to stop dining there altogether.

That said, we recently heard buzz about new ownership breathing life back into the place, so we decided to give Bobby V’s another shot. And we’re glad we did.

Upon entering, the changes were evident right away. The once tired, worn-out interior has been given a thorough makeover – clean, fresh, and welcoming. It’s clear that the new management takes pride in keeping the restaurant presentable. Even more impressive was the staff. Friendly, attentive, and well-trained, they were eager to serve and seemed to genuinely care about our experience. The new manager was visible, actively engaging with both patrons and staff, ensuring that everything was running smoothly.

As for the food? Superb. Every dish we sampled was fresh, well-prepared, and bursting with flavor – a far cry from the lackluster meals we had grown accustomed to in the past. This was Bobby V’s as we remembered it during its prime.

However, despite these positive changes, a few glaring missteps prevent us from awarding the fifth star. First and foremost, the removal of the restaurant's iconic Reuben sandwich. For years, this was Bobby V’s signature item, a dish beloved by regulars and an integral part of the menu. To see it missing was a significant disappointment. We understand the desire for change, but eliminating such a long-time favorite feels like a misstep that alienates the restaurant’s loyal customer base.

Secondly, and perhaps even more upsetting, is the absence of the personal memorabilia that once made Bobby V’s so special. Decades of baseball history – hundreds, if not thousands, of signed photographs and personal mementos from sports legends – have been stripped from the walls. While the interior may be cleaner, it feels sterile and lacks the character that once made Bobby V’s unique. What was once a celebration of Bobby Valentine’s legacy and the history of the sport has been reduced to just another sports bar. It’s a loss that can’t be understated.

In conclusion, Bobby V’s is making strides in the right direction under new ownership. The food and service have improved dramatically, and it’s clear the new team is dedicated to revitalizing the establishment. That said, the removal of the iconic Reuben sandwich and the loss of the personal memorabilia strip the restaurant of some of its identity. The “Trivia game” was noticeable absent as well. We award Bobby V’s a solid four stars – a worthy spot for a night out, but not quite the Bobby V’s of old.

Kinda a sports bar, lack luster place. Typical burger joint. They tried. More of a local place to grab some food. Service was good, place was clean. Just not up to the competition of DFW, Southwest Arlington maybe. Decor was very dark and dated. Could not decide if this was a dive, dingy sports bar, burger joint, or just stuck in time like an aging prize fighter.
