Bob's Bar has been a fixture in tiny Martinsburg for just about as long as anyone can remember. This sweet small-town joint isn't especially impressive from the outside...
Bob's claim to fame is its massive burgers. Every time we mention burgers or small-town restaurants here on Only In Nebraska, readers are quick to point out that Bob's is a long-standing favorite.
It starts out with a big, juicy patty. These aren't perfectly factory-made burgers - they look homemade because they are. Even the bar's owner isn't sure exactly how big they are, but his best estimate puts them above 10 ounces each.
You can't help but be amazed at the size when the food comes out, even if you're expecting a massive burger. They're always piping hot, delicious, and so big that a plate can barely contain them.
Just look at how ineffective that bun is at containing the massive burger goodness. Let's hope you've got a big appetite, especially if you're like this lad who's getting ready to tackle a double.
It's not just the burgers that come in huge sizes. Just about everything at Bob's is impressively oversized. That giant pork tenderloin looks so tasty!
Order a side of fries and you'll get an entire plate heaped to overflowing. These fries are crunchy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and the perfect accompaniment to your meal. Or, hey, make a meal of just fries. We won't judge.
If you can manage to make room, do yourself a favor and order the cheese balls. These gooey, crunchy, greasy tidbits are anything but healthy, but you deserve to indulge now and then.
Bob’s Bar is located in Martinsburg, which is in northeastern Nebraska. The address is 5205 Main St, Martinsburg; you can’t miss it in this tiny village of 94 people. Keep up with events and other news on their Facebook page.
You’ll probably be pretty stuffed after that giant burger and big plate of cheese balls, so walk off a bit of your post-meal sleepiness at this magnificent state park that’s nearby.
