About Bob's Place
In 1970, Bob Doyle moved from Albany, New York to Denver to operate a handful or submarine Sandwich shops. In 1977 Bob then moved to Vail to open a deli in West Vail named The Menu. The Menu focused on catering to locals providing affordable dining, and friendly service. The Menu filled a niche by serving breakfast, deli style and submarine sandwiches, as well as homemade soups and salads. In 1990 The Menu changed it's name to the Jackalope and became a southwestern and Mexican casual dining restaurant. The Jackalope kept the breakfast concept and many lunch items from The Menu, yet incorporated Dinner and many new southwestern items like fajitas, and a sports bar.
In 1992 Bob moved to Avon to open Bob's Place. Bob's Place primarily focused on Breakfast once again, which he had become most known for, but added a small bar, satellites televisions and game room. Bob's Place then moved in the summer of 2000 to it's current location in the Lodge at Avon Center.
Bob's Place evolution has taken some of the favorite recipes and items from each restaurant over the past 30 years to develop the current menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The famous Bob's theme has developed through the growth of the valley. Nearly everyone has a friend or relative named Bob. Look around at the famous Bob's on the wall, both in the dining room and bar. Celebrity Bob's in the dining room and Sports figures in the bar.
