They have quite a few items on the menu that should satisfy almost anyone. The service is good and the prices are kind on your wallet.

Found this place on Google maps on the trip home. Can't beat country cooking so decided to give it a whirl. Very cute inside qith a game of old collectable items on the walls and hanging. The folks inside sound like I do... think southern NC accent and just good down home friendly folks. The food was delicious! We had the fried chicken for our meat. The batter was SO good.. crispy and salty. The chicken was done and didn't hold grease under the batter. I had black-eyed peas and could taste the ham hock. The macaroni salad wasn't really mayo based to my surprise and was delicious. We were so happy we found the spot on our backwoods drive home and felt welcome.

This is a diner in the classic OG sense. If you like old diners, then stop in, you'll love Bob's. I like diners and I loved it. Good coffee, good food, great staff. Will definitely stop again if I'm through Madison again.

Food was amazing and the coffee was exactly what we hoped for. The owner came to introduce himself and chatted with us for a bit. We left with with the nickname "New York".

Our first time here and we arrived just before they closed. My hubby asked if they could serve us and they said yes. I had the Flounder dinner with cabbage, hush puppies and sweet potato casserole. It was a lot of food! And everything was good. We just moved to Stoneville and this was my first outing. Everyone was so welcoming and it was good to have some down home country cooking. Hubby had a burger and fries.

The food is always great and served up very quickly. Best fried chicken around, in my opinion. The staff are the kindest people, and if you sit at the counter, Matt can strike up a conversation with anyone. Highly recommend going to Bob's restaurant.
