Bobby Chez

We were not at all familiar with this place. We thought we were ordering lunch food ready to go? Um, not the case. Needed to go home and put it in the oven!!! Seriously, how were we supposed to know this? Also, IF given the option (we were not and place was empty) — we absolutely would’ve eaten in and had it made for us. Just a really strange experience. They need to work on their customer service and communication. Food good, will plan ahead next time.

Awesome gourmet take out! The crab cake has no breadcrumbs instead very large pieces of lump crab are delicately tossed in a spicy rue. The batter is light and crispy and the end result is a scrumptious crab cake croquet.
The tomato cucumber salad and kale salad was fresh and delicious. As was the rotisserie chicken.
The service was friendly and courteous and the prices while a little high matched the quality of the food.
So glad they have mail order option for the future. I live 2 hrs away so that will be good for the future.
There were some tables on the inside but not like one would thing from the outside.

It’s felt like a decade since I updated my review. I’ve had quite a handful of crab cakes in between those years. Most know that lots of filler (non-​crab) is a huge no-​no for a crab cake and that the more lump the better. Bobby Chez has it going on with giving more lump crab but when I spent almost 40 bucks on 4 crab cakes without a side dish, well I think it’s a bit unrealistic. I know a few places I’d prefer over BC so I’m going to have to demote a star.

I have not had anything that I did not live here. The crab cakes are the best on earth.
The rotisserie chicken is tasty and a good value
Unfortunately prices keep going up it seems almost every visit

I didn’t really care for their crab cakes. They were extremely wet inside and cold. The guy pulled some out the fridge, handed them to the next guy who put them in the grease for maybe a minute and took them out. The outer shell was perfect, but after biting into it, it was runny, like not cooked. Yes it was big chunks of crab in it, but no seasoning, and cold. The stuffed jumbo shrimp were the same. Maybe a minute, no more, in the grease. It was like eating raw shrimp, and cold crab stuffing. Do I need to tell them leave it cooking for a while? Or make sure it’s dead? They Do A Lot Of bussines, So People Must Like Their Seafood That way. I’m not a fan.

This rating has nothing to do with the quality or taste of the food, but more for the poor customer service. I frequent the Collingswood location 1 – 2 times per week and today the person behind the counter seemed clueless. I wanted two orders of the chicken croquettes which were not the meal deal and I was fine with that. I didn’t see any garlic mashed in the case so when I asked if they had any, I got the response do you see any. I let this one go, maybe the kid was having a bad day. So I got a side of kale salad and a side of spinach to go along with the chicken croquettes. After paying I realized there was no gravy, so I asked and I got the response oh we don’t have any or ketchup. I find this hard to believe that a business of this caliber didn’t have any gravy or ketchup. The sign clearly states chicken. Croquettes with gravy. And if that is the case a sign or some feedback from the employee would have been helpful. I could have ordered something else. I then had to go to a different store to get gravy. This is completely out of the norm for this location, however this left a sour taste in my mouth and I am not sure how soon I will return.

Summer is here and my thoughts turn to crab cakes and the Jersey shore around this time of year.
I’ve been seeing a lot of Bobby Chez on QVC lately and am pleased to know I can still get my favorite crab cake fix anytime… but stopping in recently on a trip back east, I was elated that the Bobby Chez quality I have always depended on is still going strong!
My favorite things: Bobby Chez crab cakes with a side of coleslaw. It doesn’t get any better folks. Nothing comes close to Bobby Chez, no wonder they call him the «King of Crabcakes».

We stopped here because my wife had a crab cake craving. Kind of hidden place a little off the main road. Behind the wawa and next to the firehouse. Easy walking distance from the Collingswood farmers market. Private parking lot at the restaurant so no need for street parking. Inside looked like a café with 4 – 5 tables with seating. The two ladies at the counter were very nice. No one was there at the time so we had our meals heated and ate there. Crab cake platter was out of this world. I don’t think we’ve had a better crab cake even in Boston! You can see my pictures of it. Huge lumps. I got the chicken pot pie (I wanted it after seeing the rotisserie chicken). Excellent dish that had fresh diced white chicken meat and a creamy filling. Flakey piece of pastry on top perfect for mopping up the remaining filling. Will recommend to others and definitely come here again!

Good crabcakes. Just be aware that their business model is focused on carry out. No table service. That said, everything we got was very good and the no frills dining saved us a few bucks.

Crab cakes might be good, but they never have the right number of people working. You go on a weekend and they have only 2 people, then you go during a slow time and they have 4 or so. Usually seems like there is some issue with logistics here (register on the side isn’t working, they take wrong person in line, etc). I like to go to a smaller business, but not if it is a headache every time you go.

Of course great crab cakes! AND they have the BEST rotisserie chicken! They are delicious! At $ 6 it would be silly to make one at home yourself!

I’m a bit dumbfounded why this place gets so much business. They have jumbo lump crab cakes that are decent. Beyond that, this place is basically fried everything. You will leave this place smelling like grease.

Always clean and always welcoming.
My only complaint is that with some items changing daily I cannot get my favorite Chicken Cheesesteak Egg Rolls every single time I pop in. They are the best!
Love the daily pasta and gravy, chicken parm, crab cakes, mac n cheese with lobster…
Never had any thing bad here. Some items can be a bit pricey, but everything is delicious!

The broiled crabcakes here are excellent. However, I would be much more inclined to buy food here if fresh bread and salad were available to accompany this delicacy. Then, it would be dinner finished in one swoop.
Almost everything else on the menu is fried or greasy, which is a turn off for me and I’m assuming a lot of other health conscious people. I believe their seafood items could be preapred flavorfully in a much lighter way.
The coconut shrimp is one of my favorite indulgences here.

Saw and heard all kinds of great write ups about the crab cakes so I went in to the Collingswood store one day. Very disorganized counter que, extremely abrupt, rude staff, incredibly over-​priced. Did an about face and walked out. The crab cakes may be good I honestly cannot say, but my experience with the sub-​par service and the ridiculous prices will assure I never go back in. I don’t like giving bad reviews, but you guys need to improve if you want to attract new customers.

Hands down… you will never find a better crab cake!

I really want to be impressed with Bobby Chez. I really do. I get excited reading all the 5-​star reviews and the continued praise given to this place over the years. And then I give it another try and become disappointed, time and time again. Maybe it’s just me. I just wish I knew why. I love crab cakes.
To me, the crab cakes are decent but not the best or the most delicious. Not worth the price. And quite often, items are sold out very quickly so you can’t even get what you came for. It’s just a frustrating experience.

When it comes to crab cakes, this place deserves more than 5 stars. While I’ve had problems in the past with customer service at another location, I never treated it as I would as a dine in customer. There are a few people behind the counter serving hundreds of people. There’s no tip involved, and I can keep my eyes on what they’re giving me from the refridgertated display to the bag…
This area has a serious lack of fish and seafood takeout… And this place serves high quality dishes…
Today I prdered crabcakes, garlic mashed potatoes, chicken croquettes, and a few chicken finger lunches for the kids…
The various locations make it convenient to get what you like, even if you’re not at home… I like stopping for a meal to go on my way to the shore. and the price is affordable for everyone, compared to what it cost everywhere else…
This dude is doing more of a communty service these day, considering the fact that meals were $ 125 a plate when he owned Chez Robert 25 years ago… Finally I can afford to eat at a restaurant he own… lol

Best crabcakes, and amazing Lobster mashed potatoes. Also a great place for seafood takeout during Lent. Try their various Shrimp specials too!

It’s the first time you are making dinner for your:
a. lover
b. family
c. domesticated friends
d. Yikes, all of the above!
Why chance it by making something from scratch when you can guarantee a great meal from the good people at Bobby Chez! They have jumbo lump crab cakes (fried and broiled), chicken parm (awesome), chicken pot pie and at least one or two other daily specials. Side dishes include the always amazing lobster mash, garlic mash, grilled veggies and many others.
Everything is partially cooked so all you have to do is throw the goods in the oven for the recommended cook time listed on the handy little sheet they give you with every order.
And hey, you can always pull a Mrs. Doubtfire and toss all the containers and bag in the outside trash. Go ahead, tell them you slaved all day. Chances are they won’t believe you, but at least everyone will enjoy their meal!
