Bob's Dairyland - Roan Mountain

May not look like much from the outside but you must step in and enjoy. Menu features in-house Fresh made items including plant based. BBQ the right way smoked onsite and a secret recipe fresh made BBQ sauce. Whether the Pork or the Chicken you will NOT go wrong. No nonsense homemade good delicious food. There is another that claims mountain bbq , just steps away (we tried that place and I thru my entire tray in the trash) but Bob 's is the REAL deal. One of the two restaurants we recommend in the area. Oh and they do have hand scooped ice cream available. Next time we will have to try breakfast. Not open on Sunday or Monday so make your plans accordingly.

I come here weekly, sometimes more. The secret here is the owner is actually a plant-based chef. Now don’t let that scare you, the burgers and shakes are still great. However, if you’re trying to watch your blood pressure and blood sugar like I was, then ask for the plant-based menu. But as I said, if you just want a normal red-blooded American breakfast or burger, they’ve got that too. Huge fluffy biscuits. Thick gravy. Loaded hash browns. Great stuff! A diamond in this local area.

Most unpleasant meal and experience ever. I grew up in East Tennessee and my family owns multiple properties in Roan Mountain, including the Bed and Breakfast. I have ate at Bob 's Dairyland since I was a small child and it was always a GREAT meal. So, I brag on what a great meal me and my date would have here. Sure we could go to a fancy restaurant and get good burgers and fries for $26.42 plus tip but I wanted to share my wonderful childhood experience.Go in, order him a large cheeseburger, large fry and large Pepsi; I order a small cheeseburger, small fry and Coleslaw and a large Diet Pepsi. Good so far ... total $26.42. Wow, Bob 's has gone up but wait until you see and taste this burger I say.Our meal is brought to the table 2 burgers wrapped in paper, appear identical in size and a small fry. I said we are missing a large fry and an order of coleslaw . She proceeds to argue that 's what was on my ticket. Eventually she says she would get the missing items. She returns the with a large fry and a plastic cup of Coleslaw the size of a shot glass. We had noticed both burgers were very small, one contained a hand patty and a bigger Bun twice its size. The other fit the bun and was the 3.5 oz patty I had requested but was a frozen patty. We ask about the burger that should be larger being so small and the lady delivering our food (for a $4,00 tip) said don 't get on me, I didn 't make it. My date politely ask the women at the front (owner) which burger was which given the larger burger was so much smaller (and burnt) than what we were told was the smaller burger. She said maybe that burger contained more fat . She did give me the correct size of coleslaw.My date returns to the table and I embarrassingly apologize. I should add, 2 people came in for ice cream but there was only one other coule dining in the restaurant so not like it was rush hour . Guess my childhood memories of Bob 's Dairyland are just that .... only memories. Advice: Save your money for a business that stands for quality and customer satisfaction as the original Bob 's Dairyland once did.

Bob's has always been a local favorite. They had a rocky spell...but, have more than made up for it!Food is yummy, affordable, and they have a lot of choices to choose from.We mostly go for their breakfast, which has never disappointed.

Driving through this little Tennessee town, we knew we had to stop for lunch. I happened to look online to see what we might be looking for as a good place to eat. Bob‘s Dairyland popped up. We thought we would give it a shot. We were pleasantly surprised because on the outside, this town doesn’t look like it has much to offer. Inside, we checked in at the front counter and placed our order. My husband was excited about the barbecue options and I was excited about the small cheeseburger. The fries were outstanding. Generally I can’t eat many fries but I couldn’t stop eating these. My husband said that the hush puppies had to be the crowning glory. The owner is just as nice and friendly as he can be and the service was excellent. Thanks.
