It's the only place hubby and I go to eat on the rare occasion that we get alone time to enjoy a meal out. Celebrated hubby's birthday there for lunch today and it was fabulous as always! Friendly staff, the best food!
The food is incredible and the drinks on point, truly one of the best pub/restaurants in the city!
This was a good experience. Great atmosphere good place to meet friends for drinks. I sat at the bar and had drinks with a friend. Service was good
Great Quality but one has to be patient with waiting. Not enough staff for busy times. Wonderful Ruebens and anything corned beef- melts in your mouth!
Awesome corn been sandwich with great portion sizes. They are also one of the few bars in Milwaukee to sale turkey burgers. Great venue to watch the big game or just to hang out.
Whenever I'm back in Milwaukee there are a few musts. Number one must--a REUBEN at McBobs! Never fails to hit the spot for tender, perfectly seasoned, well-blended sandwhich with a cold tap beer.
If you enjoy finding the great deal at your favorite shop, or you coin the catchiest come-back at just the right moment, you'll be in this moment when you discover yourself amazed at any of McBobs menu items. You'll wonder, "Now, why haven't I been here yet?" And Viloa! you've arrived.
REUBEN!. Best reuben I've ever had..... period.
They do corned beef well if you want a beer with it. Otherwise, hit Jake's Deli just down the road on 16th and North.
Excellent corned beef hash and eggs! Huge portions.

Rueben Sandwich was out of this world!!. Let me start out by saying I hate Rueben sandwiches and yes hate is the right word. I have tried them several times over the years and either I didn't like the meat or sauerkraut or both. McBob's is a different story. My mother and I visited this restaurant for the first time this past Friday. I ordered the fish platter and she had the Rueben. What a mistake on my part. My fish platter was excellent. It was fried perfectly and the breading was just the right amount. The potato pancakes were excellent also. The only thing I didn't care for was the coleslaw. It has a funny strong aftertaste. I would rate the fish platter a 9.5 out of 10. Now on to the Rueben, my Mom wanted a piece of my fish to try and she offered me a piece of her Rueben sandwich. I told her to just give me a very small piece as I hate Ruebens. My first response was WOW! This is like nothing I have ever had before. By the time it was over with I ate almost half of her sandwich. This is what I noticed about the Rueben. First, the flavor of the meat was perfect without being too strong. With other Ruebens I have had there has been an over the top flavor to the meat that is too strong. Second the sauerkraut complemented the meat but did not stand out. That was always another complaint I had about other Ruebens. You would take a bite and get this strong after taste of the bitter sauerkraut. This was by no means the case with McBob's. I would rate the Rueben a 12 out of 10. Just a few other notes, it is a bar. The place is clean, but you are still in a bar so you have the noise and atmosphere of a bar. Lastly, I live in Indiana and visit Milwaukee a few times a year. This was the first time I did my homework on restaurants and I just want to thank all the people who take time to do reviews. It makes it so easy to find these hidden gems and helps you to avoid places where they don’t really care about their food.
Love McBob's!. We love brunch at McBob's, but will gladly go back for dinner. The quality of food, the amount of food that you get for your $, really can't be beat. We enjoy the wait staff and how everyone makes you feel welcome. It is an out of the way little spot, but well worth the trip. The corned beef is the best in the City and the soda bread is as authentic as I have ever had it. I had their Chili at a WMSE cook off a year ago and it burned the taste buds in my mouth, but it hurt me so good! Try the Tacos, yes, you heard me right, the tacos (at an Scots Irish Pub), they are stellar. If you are going for brunch have the McGinnity. Yum!
McBob's have two of the best rueben and pastrami sandwiches in town! They also have Fantastic burgers!!! This small off the beaten path Irish Pub ain't for the calorie conscious... Slainte!!
Great place for a meal. Had a lemon drop martini and the sandwich of the month-deep fried pork chop sandwich with the works-the works included bacon. Did not know that pork chops came this thick and delicious. Gonna run back this month for another sandwich. The sandwich included some thick and tasty fries.
Food was good, but the service was very slow. Looks like they are way understaffed. It took almost an hour to receive our order and it wasn’t busy. Looks like they have a lot of takeout orders. Corned beef is very good and so are the fries. They also add an automatic 18% to the bill. I don’t blame the waitress she was hustling.
Wish I could have ordered online to save on the wait time!! Anyhow, the food was delicious 🫡
Excellent, unpretentious, good-vibes experience. Our waitress, Stephanie, was super friendly and spot on for service. Place is old school so don't expect to be fawned over. We enjoyed the blues wafting through the joint and the staff was friendly and attentive. Bloodies were excellent and there is Guinness on tap. Mixed crowd was refreshing and felt like home.
Then there was the food - I had the stuffed ruben hashbrowns, she had the McBob's benedict. They were both fantastic and hearty. A little steep on the price but postCOVID's gotta be tough on a place so we were not averse to paying a bit more. Would recommend this place for down-home friendly atmosphere and quality of food - beer selection is Irish-leaning and wonderful.
Came for fish fry yet half our table got corned beef. As others have said the corned beef was salty but tasty. We tried both the perch and walleye fish fry and liked the perch better between the two. I still think cod is better, but they didn't offer that. Portions were large. Service friendly but it took a long time to get our food and it seemed for a long time that nobody in the restaurant was getting food. Probably won't be back not because it was bad, but have preferred other places more. thanks Bob!
First visit here. I ordered steak Taco. It was more like a burrito. I didn't ask for anything extra. I wanted to see if I would like it just as it was. I do feel it was pretty pricey. For 2 steak tacos it was 23 bucks. It was filling. I did enjoy the taste of it. I cam say that I would come again and try something else.
McBob's is one of a kind establishment ! They have a long standing history of serving up some very delicious food. On this visit we ordered the ,Ruben and the Irish meatloaf dinner. Both meals were exceptional ; and the servers were awesome ! There are flat screens to enjoy the games .As with everything nowadays the prices are up but still a good value .

Best Corn beef in town 💯💯
This was an amazing experience overall and I will definitely be going back. After walking out of crafty cow ( a few blocks west) for very poor service, I found myself hungry with no idea what I wanted. A quick google search brought me straight to McBobs. I spoke with the soon to be owner and I have nothing but respect for his hilariously, vibrant personality. Great environment. Great service. The food had my jaw on the floor. ( I recommend the Nashville hot chicken sandwich). To conclude, I want to say thank you to crafty cow for presenting an absolute mockery of “service”, if it weren’t for them I wouldn’t have indulged in such a pleasant experience at McBobs.
Service was amazing! Everyone was very nice and very helpful! Took the shuttle to the Brewers game too. I will definitely return. Great food and outstanding menu for a bar/Pub!
