Bob's Burgers and Brew

Ladies and gentlemen, for your viewing pleasure, our first review. Last night we traveled to the far and distant land of Tulalip (a mere 30 minutes north of where we live) for having the extreme displeasure of just missing happy hour. Not to fear, I interrogated the waitress all about their prices for happy hour, so I have the scoop for those of you scoop-seekers.

Bob's Burgers and Brew in Tulalip

A warning to Bob's fans from Bellingham: we've learned that this Bob's to the south doesn't hold a candle to it's big brother up north. Personally I have never been, but my writing partner in crime has informed me they can't really be compared. Sorry Seattlites, Bellingham wins this one.

As for logistics, happy hour is between 3 and 6 pm, pretty standard if you ask me. Unfortunately we didn't make it there until somewhere after 7. Turns out we have extreme separation anxiety when at work so we find it necessary to tell our life story to each other upon reunion. So yeah, we got there late. However, despite getting there later than we'd hoped, there was still a decent amount of seating at the dinner hour in the bar, including a gracious amount of outdoor seating which is probably only utilized during the four weeks out of the year is not too fricken cold to sit out there. Bitching aside, our service was speedy, our waitress friendly and pleasant. She was quick, accommodating and had perfect timing for our bill. We got our beers within minutes of sitting down. There is a decent array of beers on tap, not amazing, but decent. They had our go to, Blue Moon on tap as well as my favorite amber, Mack and Jacks. 

Beer and MONSTER nachos!

Much to our pleasure, the wait for our food was short. When the nachos arrived I'm pretty sure our mouths dropped. They were humongous! You get the choice of beef or chicken, we opted for poultry which was fabulous. The thing comes loaded with good cheese (none of that disgusting liquid cheese at 711), olives, meat, green onions (a personal favorite), tomatoes, and sides of both salsa and sour cream. We were displeased at the lack of guacamole, but I think I can live with it considering the sheer size of the "appetizer". 

The crowd in the bar was older, but nothing creepy. We've been to some sketch bars in our day and this one was perfectly tame. In the spirit of a sports bar, a number of televisions with baseball were on as well as our favorite thing to see, neon Husky lights adorning the high walls. 

As for prices, we paid a bit more seeing as we couldn't get our asses into gear for happy hour. As mentioned before, I did manage to get the happy hour deals from our fabulous waitress. All beers are $0.50 off, bringing a pint of what's on tap to $4.50, a bit pricy. All appetizers are $2 off, bring the nachos to $8.99. It seems expensive, but we think it's a decent price to charge for the amount you get. You could easily share these nachos with three or four people.

Rating Breakdown:

Price --> 1.5 nachos are a good deal, but the beer is a bit over priced

Atmosphere --> 2 sports bar-like, but a bit small and on the chilly side

Service --> 3 perfect, no complaints here

Taste --> 2 delicious, but didn't blow us away

Beer Selection --> 2 decent, but not amazing

Overall Rating: SCRUMDIDDLYUMPTIOUS (10.5)
