This restaurant is now closed! We're all very sad to see it go, so much so that it's staying on this page as a memory. A favorite of athletes, celebrities, and locals alike and perfect for a date or a group outing, Bob the Chef's is fun and funky with good food and a great feel. Fill your belly and feed your soul with the chicken, either “Glorifried,” baked, or BBQ ($11); the popular jambalaya ($13), or the mustard fried catfish ($13). For the more adventurous eaters, try the chicken livers, pigs' feet, or ham hocks (entrees $11-15). Vegetarians, beware: the country-style southern menu is great for meat-lovers but has virtually no veggie-friendly options. Lively jazz performances Th-Sa7:30pm-midnight and during Su brunch (cover for shows $3-7). Su all-you-can-eat brunch $19. Take-out and catering are also available.

Bob’s Southern Bistro, home of the Boston’s finest southern cuisine and live jazz, was recently sold and closed its doors on Sunday, November 25th, 2007 after 50 fabulous years in the South End.
