Description
Join us as we welcome Bob & Ellen's in Lawton as a new Chamber member!
The restaurant was built on solid family values of showing respect, working as a team, serving others, and treating others with kindness. Bob & Ellen's is named after Bob and Ellen Heiss-two wonderful parents that were great representations of these Midwest values. Kevin Heiss-son of Bob and Ellen-took these cherished values from his parents and created a local restaurant where family and friends can enjoy quality food and excellent service.
When you're at Bob and Ellen's, you're family. Whether you're getting pizza with friends or burgers with family, you can always expect excellent service that will give you "something to write home about."
A Little About Bob
Bob or "Dad" was a hard worker that believed in giving back to his community. He loved his family, friends, and having fun. He believed you could accomplish anything if you just put your mind to it.
Dad was owner and operator of Heiss Brothers Inc. for over 50 years in Marietta, Ohio. Throughout his career, he built over 1,000 homes both in and around the Mid-Ohio Valley.
Bob enjoyed hunting, farming, playing cards, and raising his kids and grandkids. He was raised on his family farm, which later became Heiss Hollow-one of his passions involving family and friends.
A Little About Ellen
Ellen or "Mom" was known for making delicious, home-cooked, comfort food that her children and grandchildren cherish to this day. She was devoted to her family and took great joy in creating special and long-lasting memories for them, both in gifts that she made and experiences she created. With Mom, "Please" and "Thank You" became the standard within the Heiss family, and a nice, long hug was required if you knew her. She always wanted to make a positive difference in others' lives. Mom paid close attention to good-quality food, cleanliness of the restaurant, and how people were treated.
