Bob Riddle, CIA-Hyde Park grad and former owner of San Remo Italian Ristorante in Castle Hills and Podna's Catfish and Po'boys, closed shop at the original Bobs on Harry Wurzbach to open a new Bob's off Hildebrand. Riddle hopes the new location at the Vistana, which takes over the space previously occupied by Lee's Taco Garage, will also take on a neighborhood feel.
The menu and prices will stay the same, about $4.50 for a basic burger, and hours will mimic the Hildebrand location, 11 to 10 p.m. Riddle will split his team between joints so expect to see him there a lot. The affable businessman makes it his point to greet just about every patron.
Here are a few shots of the latest Big Bob's location:
The new burger joint will seat 55 people, patio included.

The bar will feature three beers on tap (for now), probably Alamo, Lone Star and Shiner.

Slap a few Big Bob's Burgers signs on those walls! The booths were left-behind from the IHOP Express that occupied the space before Taco Garage.
