Boboquivari's

Considering one of our leads at work didn't get this reserved TILL LATE! It was actually a great time! Bobo's is a small little place, but it's very homey and the bar is really cool! Our whole team really enjoyed our holiday dinner in the private room! We ordered clam chowder, crab cakes, porterhouses and some tomahawk steaks! Everything was great and even the drinks were good too. It's not the flashiest place but if you have a decently small team and you want a private room without all of the rif raf. Great place to go!

Really good old school steak house. There are other steak houses in San Francisco as good, but this is up there with the other good ones. Nothing that makes this one stand out. But also, nothing that makes it less than the other top steak houses.

Wanting to try something new with a bunch of people who are getting old (including me), I made a reservation for a late weeknight dinner here on a Tuesday. Many of our group have not seen each other in twenty or more years so it definitely qualifies as a reunion meal. Never having dined here before, I remembered that valet parking was available here prior to March 2020. When confirming my reservation, I asked the young lady for parking advice and she told me that we were allowed to park in the motel spaces since they share the parking lot with the motel. After entering, the hostess brought us to the dining to the right, just behind her stand. After a short discussion, we reached a consensus that we'd each order our entree and share a few appetizers and sides family style. Here's what I tried: Appetizers, all shared 1. Iceberg Wedge salad (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=W_2Rlyb3NwA58uEr71ONEw) - "iceberg babies" with pancetta, Pt. Reye's bleu cheese dressing, and toy box tomatoes. Refreshing, crunchy, this deceivingly was enough for three people as a starter to share. 2. Bobo's style Bacon slab (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=EuwGTdCxUZaZxSF1xi1xbg) - Jack Daniels pineapple glaze w/red chilies, and chives. What's not to like about tender, melt in your mouth pork belly with a 70/30 meat to fat ratio. It is on the sweet side so the mashed potatoes under this balances the flavors. Sides, all shared 3. Maui onion ring (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=PF3M9JpDcU2oVWDRNWLZmg) - in beer batter w/sriracha aioli. Pretty self explanatory, I had three pieces though the aioli is on the mild side. 4. Portabello mushrooms (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=QBwqMBW8FUwwDVe4Rtgiyg) - capers, butter, lemon, white wine. Three or four bites were all I had so not much of an opinion on this. 5. Baked cream corn (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=j-A3GPLl5Fk5kMsbSMnwZw) - sweet corn, butter, cheese, and pangrattato. It was different with a crusty top and pretty thick in texture. 6. Loaded baked potato (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=ArzXPo3W9c2s-siBUIbAWA) - chives, four cheeses, and bacon. A friend added this as most of us were finishing our meals so I ate most of it with my unfinished steak pieces at home. Hearty, cheesy, and rich, the bacon mashed bits mashed well with the potato. Main: 7. Porterhouse, medium rare (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=ok2zU2eWzh2u7Lch7wKVEQ) - 34+ oz. when available. I guess there is a limited supply on a given night, this was my choice between this and the bone-in filet (touted as Bobo's pride and creation). This was visually impressive and equally portion and flavor wise, served on a literal cutting board and pre-sliced. It was closer to medium and medium well for the outside pieces, coming with a metal container of steak juices. I wish they offered a variety of steak sauces besides this and ketchup, an opinion shared by several fellow diners. My leftovers were actually more tasty when I reheated them at home a few days later. Dessert: 8. Chocolate lava cake with vanilla ice cream (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=lxF8G_aXG32BeYmKDasOBw) - This was a nice finisher but beware that it is not a warm cake (not a souffle). Our waiter Danny and our server were both helpful and efficient in guiding us and making sure all empty plates were removed and glasses refilled or removed. There were two other tables of two occupied as we ate. From reading Cherylnn N's (https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=eKUGKQRE-Ywi5dY55_zChg) ancient review (2010), there is an upstairs dining room too. The bar is attractive with an old school vibe. It's an old school type of place and solid for low key parties.

First off, I've lived in the SF area almost my whole life and I am shocked that I e never heard of this joint. The ambiance is super old school and they have a lil parking garage right under (free). We got an order of the mashed potatoes, garlic fries, and Maui onion rings. I went with the bone-in ribeye medium rare. All the sides were solid, nothing special. But that ribeye was a pretty good! I will have to come back and try some other cuts!

I went here the past Friday for the first time for my husband's birthday. The decor is jester themed but done tastefully. Our table had private curtains but was pretty small and hard to hold our food. We ordered the yellowtail carpaccio, porter house , brussels, mushrooms and a whole crab. My husband thoughroly enjoyed his food and so did I. My favorites in order were 1. and the steak with the delicious flavored sauce 2. Carpaccio and 3. the crab with the crab garlic butter. Their price point on the crab was fair as well which I appreciated! Service was a slow and they weren't very attentive at times (we had to ask to have our steak cut and for our food to be boxed up). They also ended up throwing away our mushrooms instead of boxing them up to our disappointment. The food and value carried, and overshadowed the slowness.

I have been craving a juicy Filet Mignon and Bobo's did not disappoint. I was pleasantly surprised when I found out they had a pre fixed menu for $75 per person. It comes with a starter, Entree and Dessert. For a starter I got the Caesar Salad. It was very light and refreshing. For my Entree I got the Petite Filet Mignon 6 oz with Garlic Mashed Potato & Creamy Spinach. The filet was cooked perfectly and so juicy. Just was I wanted and was expecting. The mashed potatoes were also so fluffy, smooth and melt in your mouth. I'm not a huge fan of creamy spinach but this one was really good. After I cleaned my plate it was time for dessert and I got the Italian Gelato. Wow, a perfect ending to a great meal!

Disappointingly Different. This was our first time back in a few years. The ambiance is the same, very pleasant. The food was not nearly the same. The crab did not come out sizzling and had little to no garlic or taste. Without a word from us, our server even said to us "next time we will do better". Something was just missing this time. This is usually my top pick for dining in the city but will be exploring other options.

Steakhouse date night? What's not to love. Bobo's is a spot my family took me many moons ago, so coming back after almost 10 years, it felt a bit nostalgic. They're known for their bone-in filet which I knew I had to order. Before the main dish we started with a few appetizers. Iron-skillet shrimp: We shared a single order, which comes with around 14 shrimp on a hot sizzling iron skillet with tons of butter and garlic. It's a peel off situation, and damn I could've eaten more of these. Would 100% order again. Crab Cakes - these were tasty but not outta this world. $19.95 for two, it's not something I'd say I need to have but if the table wanted it, I'd eat it again. House bread ($3.50) - not a huge fan, ate a couple of a bites and we were done. I think if the bread was warm or slightly toasted I'd enjoy it more. For sides we tried the garlic mash, creamy spinach, and mac n cheese. All were really tasty, and nothing was left behind. The Mac n cheese was my favorite, it was hella cheesy, hella crispy, and with a little extra salt and pepper, I ended up eating more than I should have. For mains: the bone in filet was so tasty and cooked to a perfect medium rare. I'm usually a ribeye guy, but since they are known for the filet, I had to get it. The steak is served a la carte with no sauces or anything but the steak speaks for itself. The lobster was massive and tasty. It doesn't come with butter so we asked for a side which was a must. For drinks, the cocktails we got were delicious. The blood orange margarita was so tasty, and the q-ball was delightful, would order both again. We ended up spending $300+, so it's not a spot we'd come often but good for a once in a while type thing. If you are looking for the experience, but don't want to spend a ton, I think going for their $55 prefix menu is the way to go. You get your choice of a select appetizer, main, mashed potato, creamy spinach and a gelato, which is going to be filling. We got a reservation online for the private booth with curtain and it was a lovely experience overall for a fun dat night. We left full and happy. Shout out to our waiter Jose for amazing service!

This place has some delicious steaks!!! Had not heard of it prior but what a find. Everything wonderfully delicious, cooked to perfection!!! Best tasting desserts and best tasting coffee. As for the service, no complaints as each and every server is there and dedicated to be sure your time there is memorable !!!!!

I think this is one of the best steakhouses in SF. We came here to celebrate my graduation, and the staff was amazing. I had made a reservation a few months in advance and had to add more people multiple times, and Bobo's had no problem accommodating. I wasn't sure how long the ceremony would last, and when we showed up about 45 minutes early, they made space for us in the bar and started getting our table ready. They have beer, wine, and cocktails. They put us in a little room off of the main area and made sure we were comfortable. The staff came and checked on us constantly and new let our drinks get low. Our waitress recommended the crispy crab cakes and crab & spinach fondue to start, and both were amazing. The fondue is out of this world. We ordered a bunch of sides to share, my favorite was the Maui onion ring, and everyone got a steak. I had the filet mignon, and it was cooked to medium-rare perfection. All of the food was cooked perfectly and came out hot, which is hard to do with a group of 11. To finish, Bobo's brought out a special dessert that said "contracts," and we ordered a few others to share. I forgot to get pictures because I was enjoying the company, but I would love to come back.

The ambiance was great. Really cool pictures and decor! The cocktails were great, and the staff were really nice. The food was good. Let's start with the streak. Nice char on it and cooked medium rare. But to be honest, it was just ok for me. The brussel sprouts were a no for me. They needed to be cooked more and Needed some char. The Mac and cheese was by far the highlight of the night! Best Mac and cheese I've ever had! Five cheeses mixed together with a crust on top! And for my bday they brought out a tiny ice cream cone filled with mousse. It was pretty good. All in all, it was a good experience and I would come back for the mac and cheese! Oh! One more thing.. the clam chowder was amazing as well!

Good ole Bobo's! You can always count on this place to be exactly as it was the time you came before, even if it's been a few years. I can truly say that they have *NEVER overcooked my steak, which seems to be a trend at most steakhouses these days and is one of my greatest pet peeves. This has always been where I meet up with old work colleagues or take anyone who just wants a great steak at a reasonable price. I don't think the menu has ever changed, including the drink menu so don't expect any frills, just damn good food. This time 3 of us at a table of 4 ordered the Surf n' Turf with a filet and lobster,and the other ordered the Branzino. We all started with salads and I'm a sucker for a good Wedge. Bread does need to be ordered but I don't recall being charged for it. The menu is a la carte, which is standard for a steakhouse, so we ordered several sides for the table- DO NOT SLEEP ON THE CREAMED SPINACH. We also ordered Crab Cakes after the fact, because we got so excited to order that we forgot to order the crab cakes until they brought our salads, so those came out with our entrees and they were perfection- not full of filler ingredients, but a good crab cake full of crab. We left full and satisfied! Some might call the decor kitschy and it is a little much, but it does have an old school vibe to its carnival/jester theme. Service is always great and attentive. I'd recommend this place for an elevated dinner experience that won't break the bank and the meal will be exactly what you order if you're in the mood for steak or seafood. There are even a few little nooks for seating that look super romantic.

Best steak I've ever had, by a long shot! The closest comparison that I have, is that "other" iconic steak house located down Van Ness that specializes in just one thing. Bobo's is the opposite, and they specialize in a few different cuts of meat. Overall, I was pretty blown away with my bone-in ribeye steak. The smaller but tasty wedge salad was nice and a bit less traditional than past versions, the cheese and bacon hit the spot, and it was fine to split among two. The yellow tail carpaccio to start was also a highlight of the meal. Last, we enjoyed gelato with a delicious waffle crisp under it. Their martinis with stuffed blue cheese olives were also a nice touch. The red velvet venetian decor was super fun and had a nice old school mystique to it which I also loved. Last, and best of all, they have amazing and super friendly staff.

This place is definitely one of me and my honey's favorite date night places to go to! All the food is amazing and I like that there is parking available. I love the dim lighting, it definitely gives romantic vibes. Service is very fast and making reservations is very easy. Definitely have your man bring his wallet because this place is pricey but is very worth it! Ask for the crab sauce to pair with your crab as well *chef's kiss!*

Food: 2 star. Diet Coke is served in cool classic bottle... but unfortunately it was out of date by about 3 weeks - Thus not as tasty. Not a big deal... drank it anyway but speaks to mismanagement. I got the Ribeye which should be full of flavor... thin cut / poor marbling this flavor was poor but not the worse. I'd say as good as Texas Road House (perhaps). Unfortunately for $80.00 I need it to he a bit better than that. Service: 5 star. Atmosphere: 5 star. Value: -2 star Visiting my sister we picked a steakhouse in walking distance to her Apt. We were able to get in pretty easy for a Sat night (and noe I know why). The atmosphere and service was exceptional... and they have cool art in a cool building so it made for a nice dinner w/ family... but way to pricy for food quality. So glad we tried it but will try Harris Steak House next time or House of Prime Rib.. Heck even Ruth Chris... for the money.

Hadn't been here in years and was in the neighborhood so had to stop by. To me Bobos is a San Francisco classic. Had a martini 8/10 didn't really like the olives they were paired with. the steak and crab 10/10, love that it was drenched in butter it was the star of the show and the iceberg wedge 9/10. I just love the dim red lights and classic American fare. Can't go wrong on ambiance

BoBo's is now Oh Hell No's. Wedge salad is literally not a wedge. Just a small portion of tossed lettuces with a few tomatoes and not blue cheese for dressing. Waiter stated 5 prawns in the cocktail appetizer, but only came with 4. Cream spinach comes as a side in a tiny 3" by 2" bowl. Our check had 2 additional drinks and 2 appetizers that were never ordered, which gave off padding the bill vibes. Our table and the table next to ours both returned medium steaks as they came out rare. Table for 7 set for table of 6 and we asked repeatedly for the additional setting. Service was inattentive at best. Had high hopes, but apparently it's not just clowns for decorations it's now a full clown show unfortunately. My steak was excellent though, so they got that right!

Never heard of this place until I happened to come upon it by a delivery app and thought I would try it out while at the hospital. My dad was getting sick of hospital food and so, naturally who wouldn't be craving filet mignon? I don't generally care for filet mignon. And it just happened to be one of the most stormy wet rains we've had in a long time (buckets of rain!) and I started to have regrets that I may risk my safety driving in the heavy rain just for a $45 6oz piece of meat that didn't even come w any sides...until...I had a taste of this mighty piece of goodness! It was the most expensive piece of meat I've had. But, boy was it worth its value! It was absolutely phenomenal but it's not just because we only had an entire week of hospital/cafeteria food to compare it to. It was the best piece of filet mignon I have ever had in my life, in fact the best steak I've ever had. All I had was a hospital butter knife to cut thru this beauty but it was like cutting thru butter! It was tender, juicy, and perfectly cooked. I was surprised that the portion for a 6oz was larger than I expected and decent enough to share with my dad if you add sides. Some tips: 1. Be careful of leakage of the sauce. Unfortunately, I didn't secure the container back correctly after taking a pic and the sauce leaked thru the bag and I nearly lost the goods thru the bag that ripped thru the rain and sauce drenched bag. 2. Ask for extra sauce. Fortunately, I asked for extra steak sauce upon pick up and still got to add that to the filet. It's a delicious sauce that tastes like some kind of ginger blend (reminds me a little of the Benihana ginger sauce). Otherwise the filet is fairly tasteless. 3. Beware of the temperature you ask for. Medium is more like medium rare and was pretty bloody, though it did make the meat more tender. They have a very small and kind of tight parking lot. Helpful so that you don't have to find street parking. Has a bit of an aged red flare to the restaurant. I guess it's a good sign that they have been around for a long time. I would DEFINITELY try this place again. In fact, it was so good, I've been trying to reimagine the experience in my mouth even a week after enjoying my filet! Our only regret is that my mom wasn't able to try out the food with us. My dad and I keep telling my mom just how good it is and how she needs to try it herself. So of course, we will be back!

Ahhhhh, we had our Thanksgiving dinner at Bobo's this year. It started out with a drink at the bar on the first floor, and then we were escorted to a nice booth upstairs with a lovely curtain for privacy if needed. Our waiter, Jose, made our experience even more special. He has excellent customer service skills with a great sense of humor. We started out with shrimp cocktails. My husband had the filet mignon, I had the New York steak. We both ordered Caesar salads, and shared a side of Macaroni and Cheese, delicious! Our meal was perfectly appropriate for a day of thankfulness and gratitude. Good food in an old school style with nice background music, what more could you ask for! Thank you Jose and Bobo's.

Best steak dinner I've had in the city. Everything we ordered was perfect we ate every last bite. I can't wait to come back and try other items. We had the petit file mignon onion rings garlic mashed and a wedge. Perfection the service was great.

This is such a beautiful restaurant with unique decorations, the ambiance is fun and cozy. A group of us friends came in for dinner on a weekday night. Corkage was a whopping $48 per bottle which was very surprising! This place is known for steaks and crabs. So we ordered a few large format steaks, Dungeness crabs and few sides to share. Bone-in filets and tomahawks were fantastic, crabs were good but I'v had better at other seafood restaurants in the city. Food was really good in big portions but the service was extremely slow! Food and drinks in SF city are slightly cheaper than LA. But with automatic gratuity and surcharge the prices are still the same in the end! We'd definitely come back for dinner date next time!

TLDR; food/drinks were mediocre at best. Steak was off, espresso martini may have been water down coffee with a splash of vodka. They tried charging us for something we didn't order, Edgar was a great server. I had such high hopes going into dinner. We had been looking at steak houses for a couple of weeks in San Francisco for a staycation to celebrate our anniversary. Finally settled on going to bobo's to try our first tomahawk, we were SO excited. Just to make sure it was available, I called about an hour before our reservation to check. The hostess on the phone scoffed, " Is that all you want to call for?". I was a little taken aback but was still excited. We got seated at a private booth and were greeted by Edgar. Honestly Edgar was the best part of our night, he was attentive, checked in with us often and kept our drinks filled. We ordered two espresso martinis, the Tomahawk, brussel sprouts, bread and garlic fries. The food and drinks were mediocre at best. The espresso martini was not frothy whatsoever and tasted like it was made with coffee instead of espresso. The brussel sprouts felt steamed with crispy bacon bits and the fries were standard. The bread itself was pretty good, but the toppings would just keep falling off the bread making it difficult to eat. The star of the show, the tomahawk came out separately. Edgar set it down in front of us, we wowed and he began slicing it. Silence fell on all of us as we noticed the medium rare steak we order was extremely blue. No one said anything initially, he left as my boyfriend and I awkwardly discussed if we should say something. I got up from our table, tapped Edgar on the shoulder and before I could say anything he knew the steak was too rare. He took it back to the kitchen to be refired. The steak came back, some pieces now overcooked and some still blue. We ate the whole steak as this was what we were really looking forward to and it just tasted a little off. We couldn't put our finger on if the steak tasted a little gamey from never having had this cut or if the meat was a little sour. They cleared our plates and asked if we would like dessert. We declined and they almost immediately put down two complimentary limoncello drinks in front of us and two cones with fudge for our anniversary. While we were thankful for the free limoncello, it was extremely thick and strong. Definitely washed out the sour taste of the tomahawks. Edgar put down the bill in front of us, I asked if we could be compensated any amount as we were unsatisfied with the food. He understood and came back letting us know our sides would be compensated but couldn't do more than that. Absolutely no worries, we completely understood. We're looking over the bill and noticed they were going to charge us for the anniversary cones! AFTER we had declined dessert. We were in actual disbelief. Needless to say, Edgar really carried the experience for us but unfortunately we will NOT be coming back.

First time! Came here to celebrate a birthday, the food was delicious. Recommend the bone-in filet and the salmon filet. The service was great and they were very attentive. We dined on a Wednesday, and the noise level was quiet. We sat at a private booth for two. Great ambiance!

Hit the rock bottom! I live a block away from Bobo's and I used to(!) be a regular, eating once a month. I won't step a foot in this place again. We had a 8 pm reservation. When we got there at 8 pm, they said they wouldn't have a table for us for another 30+ mins since one party had "more friends" joined them, got larger. Therefore they gave our table to them. After we were seated, my wife ordered pasta from the menu with no sauce since she has a dairy allergy. First they took the order. 5-10 later the waiter told us that the chef rejected to cook the pasta without the sauce. Everything has to be serviced as they are in the menu. I am like "why?". All he had to do was not to put the sauce in it, but he said that the chef was worried that it would not taste the same without the sauce. The quality of food has gotten worse over the years. I used to ask for the fillet medium rare but always came too rare lately. I don't mind small things as a customer, but making us wait for 30 mins because giving our table to someone else or not serving us pasta without the sauce was inexcusable. It's like the chef showing you the middle finger.

Went to Bobo's for Father's Day. It was our first time and I must say, it was a nice experience. The staff were very friendly and it was cozy. We ordered the Tomahawk, Mac & cheese, Brussels sprouts, garlic noodles and half crab. The food was ok. It wasn't extraordinary but it was ok. The garlic noodles had good garlic flavor but fell a bit short. The Mac & cheese wasn't as creamy and cheesy at I may have wanted, and needed a bit more seasoning. I liked the Brussel sprouts. The steak was good and cooked perfectly. The sauce they gave with it was definitely a hit and complimented the steak. The only downside is that I asked for the sauce to be included with our leftovers and was disappointed when I realized it wasn't in the bag. But overall, it was a good experience.

Was lucky enough to be treated out to Bobo's by hubby's sister. We wanted to make the best of our final meal out in SF, so we decided on Bobo's since House of Prime Rib was unavailable to us. We placed ordered through Uber Eats to have Bobo's delivered to our hotel. We cross referenced Yelp to decide which cuts of steaks we wanted. We ended up choosing their 9oz filet mignon, their bone-in filet mignon, garlic fries, and clam chowder. Our food arrived in about 30 minutes. All of the food was nice and warm upon arrival. We ordered our filet mignon to be medium well which came out perfectly. The filet was very tender to cut through even with plastic cutlery. Each bite was soft and not at all chewy. We were very impressed with the tenderness of the filet, since it's usually a leaner cut. The seasoning was on point! As for the garlic fries, SO good. They gave a shareable portion and packed the fries with so much fresh garlic. Our hotel room smelled so heavenly. We love that the fries were lightly battered and still held good texture even after being delivered. The clam chowder is surprisingly good. We barely had tried the famous clam chowder from Fog Harbor the day before, so we were really impressed with Bobo's clam chowder. It was chunky, creamy, and extremely savory. Overall, hubby, his sister, and I thoroughly enjoyed the steaks from Bobo's. We really wanted to try a steakhouse unique to SF and were very satisfied with the quality of the food from Bobo's. Unfortunately, hubby's sister's husband had a less pleasant experience. He had ordered their bone in filet to be medium well, but it came out well. The steak was so chewy and hard to cut through that he broke all of his plastic utensils and punctured a large hole through his takeout tray. Despite that, he agreed the seasoning was good and so were the sides. Lol. We hope to checkout Bobo's on our next visit back to SF. Certainly a hidden gem, especially with their filet mignon! Unfortunately we were so hungry we forgot to take photos of our food..but best believe the food tasted as beautiful it looks!

First off, I really enjoy the unassuming concept: clown themed steakhouse. A very unlikely pair and not pretentious at all. Everything we had was so delicious! Highly recommend: - The ribeye: perfectly juicy and nicely seared - Mac n cheese: I haven't had a mac n cheese this good in awhile, could literally come back just for this - Molten lava cake - Vespar martini: most places don't know what this drink is (surprisingly) or how to make it. So we were glad that they did not hesitate on bringing this out. It is the BEST vespar martini in SF. We got the mashed potatoes, caesar salad, and moscow mule too which were good, but I'd want to try something different next time. Lastly, the service was phenomenal. Our waiter really took care of us that night.

We arrived a bit early for our reservation and were told that we would have to wait until our reservation time for a table, even though there were several empty tables. No problem, we just stood there in the doorway waiting because it was raining outside. They sat us within 2 minutes. Our wait staff was much friendlier and attentive. I love that they slice up the meat for you. We ordered and shared a tomahawk steak which was amazing, well flavored and though I don't usually like medium rare, it was perfect! We also had half a crab, it had a really good seasoning but lacked a butter dip. I also ordered a baked potato with butter and bacon - it was fantastic. If you are a foodie, I highly recommend this place! Tip - make sure you have a reservation! You can park at the hotel!

Steakhouse with an amazing ambiance. I came for my birthday dinner and the whole experience was five stars. From start to finish felt like royalty ! Hubby made me feel like a queen and steak to dessert were 10 stars !!

Came here for a Wed evening work dinner. We were a group of 9, and Bobo's comfortably accommodated our group with a reservation ahead of time. Prefacing this review with the fact I don't eat beef and that's what they're known for it seems. Everyone at the table ordered a steak of some sort, and everyone seemed happy. I don't recall seeing any leftovers so that says something. For what I had, the fettuccine Alfredo, bread, fries, and Brussels sprouts were delicious. They make a good espresso martini too. Pros: good spot for steak people, friendly service, good cocktails, and unique decor (several people noted the bathroom in particular) Cons: not an ideal spot for non meat eaters but that's not what we're going for here.

food service and ambience were amazing. It was pricey, but well worth it. I had heard about this place for years and it lived up to the reviews and expectations. I will definitely come back with my wife.

Definitely a must try for steak and crab lovers. Been several times and was never disappointed. Service was attentive, however they can get a bit busy. Get there early before your reservations and enjoy some drinks and the cozy atmosphere.

I had the pleasure of first eating here 18 years ago. It's been before the pandemic that I had a chance to go back. I am so happy to say that the food and service were just as I remembered, impeccable. The fillet mignon is still my favorite.

The steaks, appetizers, and sides were amazing as were the staff. When it comes to the decor I just don't know what to say other than you'll be speechless. Make sure to tour the second floor as it's crazier than the first.

We had small sized group. Some of us ordered the prefixed menu while others order steak (filet mignon). The steaks did not look eye appealing or tasty. Clam chowder was salty, crab cakes salty. Roasted crab was good. Mussels, shrimp appetizer was good. Bread was dense not moist. Ambiance was nostalgic and artsy. U shaped bar at the entrance was cozy and facing the street. Sitting at the bar was comfortable. Good selection of drinks. Worth coming back to try something else or enjoying a drink at the bar. Food service was great. Plenty of parking through the driveway to the back

Lovely evening celebrating an anniversary ! We were seated at the cutest " private table " upstairs - our own little nook! Attention was also paid by staff to our food allergies - felt like they went the extra mile to ensure our food safety and comfort. Food was outstanding ! Started with crab cakes and bread- very very good but par for a nice meal out in SF- but then, the bone in filet and the Mac and cheese were absolutely stand out fantastic ! Steak was cooked to perfection and an excellent portion size. The Mac and cheese was creamy and flavorful and the perfect accompaniment to the buttery steak. Already planning what to order on our next visit! And a very thoughtful complimentary anniversary dessert was an excellent way to round out a great night.

Our food was so good! Portions were large! I have my steak cooked med well and it was perfect! Jose and Marco were amazing! They took care of our party of 6 with care!! The music was the icing on the cake! I even made a friend at the next table because we were obsessed with the playlist! This is a definite must for SF Steakhouse bucket list!

I'm giving restaurant 2 stars tonight. I have been here a great deal and had a great experience. However tonight, I was there celebrating a friend's birthday. It was her first time at Bo Bo's. The service started off great but towards the middle & end. I noticed waiter was being snappy with me. I ordered the iron skillet mussels, shrimp and crab. So the crab was skimpy & dryed out and no flavor. The sauce that they pour didn't help. My friends liked their food, they had surf&turf with brussel spouts, Salmon & Ceaser Salad. They enjoyed their food. We ordered bread and it never came. I was really disappointed with my food & service. I have been here several times and usually the food is good and on point. The music was great like always.

We have been coming here for years and have loved it. We went last week, and the food was mediocre at best. The crab cakes come with an Asian cucumber salad and what tasted like Chipotle holindaise. The combination didn't work for me. The prawn cocktail was overcooked and rubbery. I ordered the bone in filet, which came fully cut in half. It looked like the cook was trying to check the temp. I feel like somebody who is cooking a $70 piece of meat should know how to temp it without cutting it. Very disappointing. Sides were nothing special, and everything needed salt. I did love the cream corn with the crispy topping. Best part of the experience was the top-notch service.

Food was great, service was very slow in between drinks and appetizers! Lighting could be a little more cozier! Will we be back is very questionable .

How did I grow up in the Bay Area, go to San Francisco a LOT, and no know of Bob's? I only found it because my boss, out from St Louis, says he discovered it a long time ago and it is his favorite restaurant. The place has an apparent rich history dating back to the early 1920s. Like so many great restaurants, they barely hung on during the COVID pandemic, but because of a loyal clientele they made it. I am so glad they did. The food. Wow. Just wow! There were four of us and we ate like kings. The bread service started us off with a really good, warm sourdough with an olive tapenade on top. A nice indication of things to come. With as much food as we knew we were ordering, we skipped the appetizers and ordered the 22 ounce bone-in filet and the crab feast, which is three full, large dungeoness crabs. For sides we got the creamed spinach, Brussels sprouts with pancetta, and the crispy garlic fries. First, the filet. It was the largest filet I have ever seen and was expertly cooked and was as tender as butter and perfectly seasoned. Then there was the crab. A huge platter of freshly cooked, steaming hot crab. I was in heaven. It is a little messy to eat this much crab this way, but none of us were complaining or shy about it. Between the four of us we polished off the proteins with no problems. The sides were pretty delicious as well. To finish the dinner off we shared creme brûlée and a mango Panna cotta that were both pretty remarkable in their own right. The espresso to go along with it was the perfect finish to a spectacular meal. I can't wait for my boss to come back to California!

We came here on a Saturday at 5pm. It was the Saturday before Mother's Day and we were happy to be able to get a reservation with 1 day notice. When we arrived there's two driveways to the either side of the restaurant-- the first one says Travelodge parking and the 2nd says Travelodge & Restaurant parking. Both are ok for parking. WIN! They seated us at a booth. Since it was still bright outside, the first floor room felt spacious and bright. They had a booster for my 4yr old which was great! We ordered: * Moscow mule: well made * I wanted a red and the waiter had me try the Super red blend and the Tuscan. I went with the Tuscan which has a bit more tartness to it compared to the super red which was a little sweet * house bread: it's a sour dough with olive, caper tepanade; I thought the bread was OK, and my daughter loved it with butter * mussel and shrimp: very delicious with the butter sauce * mac and cheese: comes out bubbling, very respectable * garlic noodles: the adults preferred this as it had garlic and paprika so stronger flavors * surf & turf: they subbed a New York steak for the filet for an added charge -- both were cooked well; lobster is generously sized and cooked just right; steak was also tasty and they were very accommodating as my mom prefers it slightly more cooked which they did * 49er dry Aged porterhouse: just juicy and delicious! It's a big cut of meat; at medium, the tip of the sirloin and filet were cooked through so I would probably go with medium rare next time; I'd put this steak as maybe 80-85% as good as the famous Peter Luger steak in New York, which makes it the best steak I've had in the Bay Area * chocolate lava cake with ice cream: chocolatey, gooey goodness with ice cream * creme brulee: I think this is a citrus? Creme brulee. It was a nice complement to the chocolate lava cake richness Overall, a great mother's day dinner. Great ingredients, well prepared with something for everyone! My steak loving mom was happy. My 4 yr old loved the bread and butter, buttery shrimp and dessert. The hubs and I who make amazing Costco prime rib steaks at home loved the steak, complementary appy, sides and desserts and ambience!

Excellent Service, food was great. Price it goes with the ambience, service and yes the quality of the food excellent. Ribeye cook to perfection!!

Well guys, I went back! This time it was PERFECT! Perfection at its best. Seasoned beautifully and even more delicious than before. Did I mention the service? From the moment you walk in until you leave you are well cared for. These servers here are some of my favorite. They know how to care for you WHILE being busy. I travel so much for work these days and barely write reviews....but this place is a gem! I may make this my weekly spot!

I'm gonna go two just because the bar was really cool. That's where the fun ended Would you like to start with bread? Sure. Out comes three pieces of undercooked mush. Hard on the outside, almost like wet and soggy on the inside. It was like when I got my bread maker for Christmas in 1988 and I made the first loaf. They still haven't mastered it. We started with the wedge salad which was cute and ok. Nothing outta the ordinary but was ok. Then we ordered some of the crab, maybe a pound or so I guess. I will state that I haven't had crab like this in many years, but it was so UNDERWHELMING. Maybe it's always supposed to be boring and hard work digging through and cracking the mess. Not for me. What I can only imagine is going to be the highlight was the bone in rib eye that was suggested by the server. As many others have said it came out BLACK AND BLUE, RAW IN THE MIDDLE. Didn't wanna send it back because I knew it would be horrible but the wife couldn't even cut it, it was so raw. In my opinion what makes the steaks so crappy here is they are cooked on a flat top griddle like a fast food restaurant uses. No char, little to no seasoning. For the $$$ they are charging the food should be first class, but instead it tastes worse than the Applebee's on the wharf. $100 a person before tip, sharing a crappy rib eye and some sloppy crab, wedge salad and the $3.50 loaf of bread and drinkin only tap water...... NOPE, you fooled me once but never again. Skip this place and go ANYWHERE else.

It was about 7pm on Father's Day. It took a long time for the food to come but so worth the wait. We ordered the tomahawk with the lobster add on, mashed potatoes(Garlic) Mac and cheese and two drinks. It was of course enough to share. I spent less that $250. I don't eat out like this so when I do I try to make sure to find the best. He really loved the steak. It was great flavoring but i couldn't get over every piece having such fat on it. I've never eaten one before so maybe that's how they all are? Idk. But I'd definitely go back. We had a great dinner and the service was good as well. Thank you !

We had a wonderful experience at Bobo's! The service is always incredible (shoutout Edgar) and the staff is very attentive. The crab and rib eye steak are our favorite entrees, along with the mac and cheese and french fries as side dishes. It's fun to come for a special occasion but also for date night as well!

The ambiance is absolutely beautiful. We came on a Thursday afternoon to celebrate a birthday. We came early with no reservations. Called before hand told that there was no wait. Arrived and told that they had reservations and they would put two bar tables together for us advised that I called in and was told that no reservations were needed. They host and servers discussed it amongst themselves and then decided to seat us upstairs in a back corner across from the restrooms. Would have preferred a window seat upstairs since we were they only ones upstairs. Very quiet vibe on a Thursday an hour after opening. Our server was attentive. The chef delivered our food and came back to check on us a few times. The food presentation slightly differed from photos seen online. Our porterhouse was presented on a plate and cut at the table. Side note: I was looking forward to the Texas Style Wooden serving plate. The creamy spinach was really creamy.I almost forgot it's spinach. The garlic noodles were underwhelming. The Modern Mac was impressive. Overall. Great experience would definitely suggest this steakhouse over some other local favorites. Parking is first driveway after restaurant Food Service Ambiance

Service was great by the environment is .... not. They have no draft drinks from soda to beer which is not great. They list a price for beer that does not match what they deliver (Guinness 14 oz vs 11 oz delivered). Place needs a redesign.
