Bob Belcher is a third-generation restaurateur who runs Bob's Burgers with his loving wife and their three children. Bob believes his burgers speak for themselves and isn't afraid to offer a variety of off-beat creations. Bob's wife, Linda, supports his dream but is becoming sick of the slow times, as the restaurant is constantly in danger of going out of business. Despite the challenges, which includes consistent harassment from Linda's ex -- a health inspector -- Bob tries to keep the grill sizzling.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

A modestly immature workplace cartoon, not without potential, that needs to work on finding its rhythm.

Bruce Kirkland Toronto Sun Sly, off-kilter and droll. Aug 28, 2019 Full Review Neal Justin Minneapolis Star Tribune [Jon] Benjamin's me-against-the-world delivery gives the show a beating heart, reminding us that the Simpsons aren't the only lovable misfits in 'toon town. Rated: 3/4 Aug 28, 2019 Full Review Alan Sepinwall Uproxx I'm very impressed by how the show manages to be simultaneously weird and heart-warming without one half undercutting the others. Aug 27, 2019 Full Review Melody Danielle Rice The Young Folks It's far from a perfect pilot, and it's certainly one of the weakest episodes. But it's definitely laying the groundwork for what would become one of the funniest and most likable animated shows of all time. Aug 28, 2019 Full Review Rob Hunter Film School Rejects It's a lower profile part of Fox animation domination, but it's one of the best. Aug 28, 2019 Full Review Kelly West CinemaBlend Bob's Burgers may not be entirely family friendly nor is the premise entirely original but much like Fox's other animated series on Sunday night, this is a show that celebrates the humor and the messiness of the typical American family.

Jack S This is the best animated show to watch when you just need a hug. The belchers are a family like so many of our own. They fight, they lie, they steal, but all the while the show maintains the deep connection only a true family forms. Each member of the family is funny in a unique way, so whatever your sense of humor one Belcher will make you laugh every time they're on screen. Throw this on when you need a funny show that just feels cozy like going home for the first time in a while. Is it perfect? No, but to me it's home. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/25/25 Full Review Kevin P A fun and charming choppy first start to a great relatable sitcom. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/25 Full Review Platty the Perrypus W You'd think from the bland animation that it was just another family guy clone, but much like a small town family owned restaurant, it provides a taste that you can't get anywhere else! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/03/24 Full Review CJ P Our entire family loves this show. my wife and two kids. Please keep making episodes. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/21/24 Full Review br00talbananas One of my all-time favorite animated series. Such a great show 🫶 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/24 Full Review Spencer P Ranging from moderately relatable to totally cringe, I never found the pilot season of Bob's Burgers to be laugh-out-loud funny. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
