Q: A friend was in the mood for some surf and turf, so I brought her to Bob's. I told her that I used to come here years ago before it was surrounded by homes and the freeway - so I was praying inside that the place was still as good as I remembered. The service was awesome. I don't remember our server's name but I wish that all food servers were like this guy was. Friendly. But not so much that it seemed fake. Knowledgeable - but not arrogant. Attentive but not in a hovering sort of way. A few times I caught him looking around the corner to check up on the tables in his area. Couldn't ask for more. The food was pretty good too. I do have to mention though - the shrimp cocktail consisted of four shrimps and a tin container of cocktail sauce. I've never seen a cocktail served like that. Usually it's in some type of glass filled with the sauce and shrimp. Other than that - it was good. I ordered the prime rib and lobster tail. I had my reservations when it was served because the lobster shell was charred so I thought maybe it may have been overcooked. After the first bite, I was proven wrong which didn't bother me one bit. It was explained that the prime rib was cooked in a smoker. I couldn't taste even a hint that it was smoked but nevertheless, it was flavorful to where I didn't even use much of the sauces or dips that the prime rib was served with. For dessert, my friend and I shared a Tiramisu. I really enjoyed it because it didn't have a strong coffee taste. That may not be to other people's liking as it may not be what they're expecting but it was a nice surprise to me as I don't drink coffee. As for the prices, it could be considered pricey however you'd pay a considerable amount more if you visited any of the other steak houses in the valley.

Q: Had high expectations from all the great reviews from Yelp. I know Ramen places tend to be salty (though I've eaten at a few places that weren't), and this was no exception. If the ramen and the meat was flavorful, I couldn't really tell because the salt content drowned out all the flavor. I had the pork and chicken soup base and my gf had the chicken soup base. Both were equally salty. I even added a bowl of hot water to my soup and it was still salty.. Ugggh! And the two slices of pork I got in my soup was literally more fat than meat. And now I'm feeling so thirsty.. Definitely not one of the better places for ramen. I will not be returning.

Q: The most authentic and good Mexican food I have eaten north of the border! Even better than Carolina's! They are not open for dinner.

Q: This is just a good ole spot to hit up for breakfast. Nothing fancy or shiny, just solid food from the eggs and pancakes to the constantly fresh cup of coffee and polite, attentive service gets me coming back again and again. Yes it is a little bit off the beaten path (unless your path cuts right through Cave Creek) but worth the drive in a town where great little breakfast spots are far and few between. I have never had a bad experience here and plan on having many many more in the future. The place is priced right, the portions are generous without being excessive and there is a good amount of variety on the menu. It is casual and family oriented, and the service by committee gets the job done. If you are looking for a good breakfast spot and you are within a half hour drive, I say make the drive and have some breakfast goodness at Oak's.
