Frommer's Review
Operating since 1956, Bob's manages to retain an old-fashioned flavor -- despite now being surrounded on all sides by factory outlet malls, and with prices that have steadily escalated out of the "budget eats" category. It still fries up heaps of clams and other seafood, sides them with french fries and coleslaw in baskets, and puts them out with tremendous efficiency. Order at the window, get a soda, and stake out a table inside or on the deck (with its lovely view of, er, Rte. 1) while waiting for your number to be called. The food is surprisingly light, cooked in cholesterol-free vegetable oil; the onion rings are especially good. To ensure that your diet plans are irrevocably busted, Bob's also serves ice cream at an adjacent scoop shop. Now that's overkill.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
