A Legacy of Flavor and Tradition
Since 1972, we've been serving up fresh, made-from-scratch Southern meals with the warmth of home cooking and a welcoming atmosphere.
A Legacy of Southern Cooking Since 1972
Bobbie’s Cafe isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a family tradition that has been passed down for generations. It all started in 1972 when Bob and Vida Condra purchased the well-known Bob Jones “Truck Stop.” Not long after, their daughter Bobbie and her husband, Santos Padilla, took over and moved the restaurant to a new home on South Flores in 1986. That’s where Bobbie’s Cafe became a favorite for folks looking for classic Southern meals made with care.
After years of serving up breakfast, lunch, and dinner with a side of warm hospitality, Bobbie retired, handing the restaurant down to her son Randy and his wife, Nancy Ferris. The tradition carried on, and today, Greg Ferris and his wife, Ana, continue to welcome San Antonio with the same comfort food and friendly service that made Bobbie’s Cafe a household name.
