Subject: Bob's seafood

Does anyone think that bob's seafood is expensive and they give too little food. Try ordering the Popcorn Shrimp, 3 or 4 shrimp for 9 10 dollars..Its a rip off!!!!!

    Hmm. I haven't ordered that, so I don't know. But I usually get the sampler and there's usually enough left over for one or sometimes even two more meals.

    I've only had the smothered chicken, mac/cheese, and stewed tomatos....it was good. But, yes, it was a little overpriced.

    Bob Law is a reporter/newsman who has been on the radio in NYC for many years. About twenty years ago he started opening businesses on Vanderbilt Ave and has been a fixture there ever since.

    When you say its expensive, are you comparing it to other soul food restaurants? Or just to other take out joints? Because its the only one I can think of in the PH area.

    Further down Vanderbilt. Here's a story/review from the Village Voice:

    For the record though, I like Bob Law's better.

    when my wife and I go, we usually split an entree, it's too much for one. I like his food generally though we try to limit the amount of deep fried food we eat

    I've never gotten the shrimp, but the whiting dinner gets you a load of fish and two sides for about $10. Prices are reasonable for the quality and quantity (and I'm a big man). I love Bob Law's.
