Tucked along the boulevard, Bob's Sandwich Shop stands as a culinary cornerstone where tradition meets unexpected delights. While initially gaining fame for their signature FLAT dogs—a unique local interpretation that transforms the humble hot dog into something worth crossing county lines for—Bob's has evolved into a diverse gastronomic haven that defies simple categorization. The kitchen, bustling with activity from open to close, crafts hearty offerings ranging from substantial 1/3-pound burgers to delicate shrimp tacos with equal devotion. Country fried steak emerges golden and crackling alongside homemade sides, while their fish preparations—particularly the grilled fish and shrimp combo—have earned fervent praise from even traveling food enthusiasts attending regional events who detour specifically for these dishes. Their taco salad, served in a delicately fried tortilla shell, exemplifies their attention to presentation, while specialties like crawfish fritters showcase their commitment to local flavor profiles. The menu's versatility extends to five distinctive fry variations and sides including memorable dirty rice and Italian pasta salad—each component carefully considered.
