I just had a killer burger... Try the Smokehouse. It is a 9oz hand pattied burger grilled as you wish with cheddar, fried onion strings, killer bacon and a thousand island type dressing. It also had some BBQ sauce on there too. It was so juicy and freaking good....
Who cares that the service was great, or that the mac n cheese was good, who cares about the kids chicken strips and the free corn bread and doughnuts... uggghh man that was good.
Don't go there if you are vegetarian, but if you like meat, that's the place to be!!! I came for the weekend to play some golf. Found the place on Yelp and went there for dinner on Friday night. Went again for lunch on Sunday..:). The service was fast, good, even when the waitress forgot one item (maybe she didn't believe that we can eat that much...), still it was much better than other places.
I had the Cajun shrimps and prime rib on Friday. Sides: Corn and coleslaw. Was great. Sunday was even better: the three meat combo: Texas ribs, st. Louis ribs and beef brisket. Same sides. Didn't eat until Monday...So if you are in Phoenix and love smoke house don't miss it!!
And yes, clean restroom!!!
So, we went back. And it was awesome.
We went on a weeknight, and, true to my review, I went whole hog, (no pun intended), and ordered a 2 Meat Barbecue Combo plate - the sausage link, and beef brisket. My boyfriend, ever steady, ordered the Prime Rib.
Now, I don't really eat red meat. I mention this in a lot of reviews, and that mention is usually followed by "...but this time, I did, and I loved it." So, I guess I do actually eat red meat now. Wacky. Thanks, Yelp, for contributing to the decay of my health and the fatty deposits inside my arteries. Do you even get fatty deposits in your arteries? Don't mind me, I'm just flaunting my lack of basic anatomical knowledge on the internet. Anyway, the beef brisket was awesome, and the sausage link was truly one of the most delicious things I have ever eaten. Really! I loved it. Tasty and smokey and sweetly tinged with barbecue sauce. The corn and the shoestring fries are still hanging out in the "delicious" zone, and my boyfriend once again wolfed down his prime rib like a champ. He also tossed out a compliment to his side of macaroni and cheese, saying that it was "really good." From him, that is a ringing endorsement.
Our server was sweet and efficient, and not at all obnoxious. A+, Sawyer! You were great.
The little bag of Thank-Q doughnuts was adorable...we didn't get those on our first visit, and, even though we were completely stuffed, we appreciated the gesture and somehow found the digestive strength to scarf them down on the way home.
Thanks for a wonderful night, Jason. Your customer service is out of this world.
Two words: bathroom attendants. My boyfriend went to the bathroom soon after we were seated, and… Read more »
I enjoy eating here every time, the service is really sharp and prompt, food is good and I can take a large group and they are never rattled.
If you like BBQ and want t a great sit down place here it is! Perfect for taking Mom and Dad..
Still delicious , even better service..I swear we had a waiter and two servers working our… Read more »
Oh my god this place is good. Pulled pork, beef brisket, and oh yeah the Q-rools are all to die for. I would recommend anything on the menu cause I have tried it all. The smoasted chicken is unreal! For me I wont go anywhere else for BBQ except my own house. The atmosphere is great and its a little dark & there is a outside patio area as well. They have great lunch specials. The food portions are good size you will probably be taking some home. And when your done and pay they bring you a little bag of the best little doughnuts ever. Oh yeah Doughnuts.
What can I say that you don't know about this place? It's been reviewed over 50 times... I had been dying to try it as I love a great pulled pork sandwich and everyone was telling me how great they were here!
Well, I was not disappointed. The pork was tender with great flavor, overflowing off the bun, creating a sticky BBQ mess (which is just the way I like it!) I went for the ranch beans instead of the fries, and while you don't get a lot, they were very good. I skipped the corn bread and little dessert donuts (didn't need the carbs) but everyone else loved them.
I'm still looking for the best BBQ pulled pork sandwich in Phoenix, but this is the leader so far!
Came here on a whim, and fell in love with the place.
Our server Raymond was super friendly and commented repeatedly on how they Love Yelp here. Hey Gabi, this would be a great place for an official Elite Event, and they have an attached nightclub!
On to the food. Ray suggested the Q-Rolls appetizer, and it didn't disappoint. They're like flautas made with brisket, accompanied by two dipping sauces. Simply Amazing!
Ray also recommended the whole hog entree with brisket, pulled-pork and baby backs. It was large enough for my wife and I to share. Delicious and filling. My daughter ordered the half chicken plate, and their fries are superb.
We finished it off with a peach cobbler, and to our surprise, we were presented with a bag of Thank-Q's (accompanying our check), which were freshly made dough balls coated in cinnamon & sugar. Very good!
If we lived closer, we'd be a fixture in this place.
I travel alot. I always look for BBQ places. I am quite skeptical. For starters if a BBQ place doesn't have brisket then I'm not sure what to think. But if they do have brisket, then all is good. My standard however is Texas - the entire state. (try Rudys in Austin). Brisket is not easy. I've had too many that were just roast beef.
Having been in Phoenix area for 2-3 weeks now, I finally found this place, Bobby Q. This is the best brisket in Phoenix metro.
And it is the only brisket made properly outside of Texas (so far in my 25 years of traveling). No knife is needed.
Thus highly recommended ---
I need to go back, but am afraid I will always choose the brisket.

Any one who gives this place more than 3 stars is taste bud deficient. Lesson #1: good BBQ has some smoke to the meat (this place has NO smoky flavor to their meat)
Lesson #2: there was no smoke ring that denote it spent any time cooking low and slow like they advertise.
Lesson #3: the meat fell of the bone (Great BBQ is removed from the bone, not fall off the bone. Kansas City BBQ Society rules)
I suspect that the baby back ribs I was served were first boiled, then placed on the grill right before it was slathered with raunchy sauce.
The only reason it got 2 stars was because our waitress was fabulous, giving great service with nice atmospheres.
A bunch of friends and I tried this place for my husband's birthday the other day after I found it here on Yelp. For the love of everything tasty, this place was the BEST barbeque place I have ever been to (aside from a place I loved that went out of business in San Diego). After reading all the reviews about the appetizers and entrees, I pretty much already knew what I wanted to order before even sitting down at our table.
Our waiter, Lorenzo, couldn't have been better with his service and sense of humor. The feel of the interior was a mix of casual and modern yet not too overly countryfied...there weren't dead animals hanging on the walls staring at me as I ate or hides either.
The group of us ordered the Onion Block for our appetizer. I am not an onion person, but am a fan of the Bloomin' Onion at Outback. But I can tell you right here and now that the Onion Block at BobbyQ's was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G-L-Y delicious! It had the perfect crispy consistency, but what made it was the BBQ ketchup that it comes with. I could have ate the sauce by itself. The 6 of us ravaged it.
For our entree, my husband and I went for one of the winning combinations, particularly the BBQ chicken and prime rib. We decided on the ranch beans and the Mac & Cheese (after the reviews) for our sides. I went to ask for an order of corn bread (3 for $1.50) but Lorenzo told me that he would bring us a basket for all of us. So, I am not sure if that is something that is included, kind of like chips and salsa at Mexican food joints.
The chicken was absolutely juicy and had the perfect amount of sauce and the prime rib was also juicy and melted in my mouth (we ordered it cooked Medium). First, the Mac & Cheese was so very creamy and tasty that I had to stop myself from eating that and get back to the meat. But the ranch beans tasted like so many others I have tasted, not bad though. My friends and I, who also ordered the M&C, noticed a hint of jalapeno (not spicy, just the taste). We asked Lorenzo and he told us they have two types of melted cheese in the kitchen, one being the cheese they usually use for the M&C and then this pepper jack/jalapeno cheese they use for other dishes. He had said they must have accidentally used the wrong one and that it hadn't been the first time it happened. This was so not a problem, b/c that jalapeno taste was actually what made it, I think. I'll have to request it next time.
The desserts didn't impress me much, but I knew from the reviews, we'd be getting free donuts before we left. I loved that touch! Mark my words, we will be going back more than once. I'm sure we will take our in-laws and my family to give them the chance to taste BobbyQ's deliciousness!!!!!
The search is officially over. Call off the hounds and rendezvous at Bobby Q. With a name so simple yet perplexing, it must either be the greatest or worst barbecue to have ever existed in this Quadrant. Like a gift from a god, their smoked ribs and brisket are tender to the touch and have the tendency to fall onto the table before reaching your plate. Such tragedy. Minus 1. Their sauce oomph is somewhat mild along with its sweetness and to me that is a blessing. Being a victim of the great-bbq-but-bad-sides or the so-so-bbq-but-good-sides, Bobby Q has made a believer in me that there is a higher power out there that watches over us and to those that do great things, rewards us. Mission accomplished.
All was delish here !!!
Had the 3 meat platter with 2 sides and cornbread that I shared with the husband: we got the brisket, baby back ribs, and pulled pork. All the meat was moist and delicious and tasted great even without the BBQ sauce. We mac-n-cheese and grilled veggies for the sides...and both were yummy. My favorite was the cornbread...it was the best I have had and i would go just for that . They also give you these little fried donuts with cinnmaon and sugar for free before you leave and they were super sweet and yummy!!
Did not know about the 10% off when I went...ooh well maybe next time.
Service was great too!!
Friendly, very fast service on a weekday night.
Quite decent cornbread (reference Houston's/Bandera's for the Benchmark cornbread!).
Good, tender pulled pork.
Grilled corn tasty, a bit greasy.
Grilled veggies fairly fresh, but meh.
Nice decor.
Overall, not bad a'tall.
Oink.
Went back last Friday night. I really think Bobby Qs has some of the very best BBQ in town.
The ribs again, were amazing. The shoestring fries and wedge salad were to die for. And that corn on the cobb thing, amazing. The Brisket was top notch and Delicious.
I had to bump it up a star because it is really very good BBQ and service has always (so far) been great.
Very good BBQ. Ribs were the best. Love the corn on the half cobb they do. Nice corn bread.… Read more »
I am beginning to think that the reason I love barbecue restaurants so much is the fact that I ALWAYS get two meals out of one visit. That figures out, on average, to about 7-8 bucks a meal, and you can't really beat that for great food!
The husband and I decided to go here on Friday night, and the place was busy, but not so busy that we were able to be immediately seated. Our service was fantastic. I'm beginning to think that restaurants are recognizing our faces from our pictures because this was beyond good service. Our server was super quick and very sweet. Our food came out impossibly fast too.
The food was delicious. I ordered the brisket platter, of course, and it was super yummy. I got a big fat helping of tender brisket and two sides. I chose the pecan cole slaw and the mac and cheese. We also got cornbread with our meals. The cornbread is really yummy, but strangely shaped into little disks. The cole slaw was very good, with a great sweet flavor that was enhanced by the crunch of the pecans. The mac and cheese was literally rib-stickin good. It was the super thick and creamy kind that makes me weak in the knees. The barbecue sauce served on the meat is fairly minimal, but they bring you plenty of extra so you don't have to worry.
I would definitely come back here. I loved the food, the service and the atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this for good sit down service BBQ.
While reading the free Glendale paper at a much-suckier restaurant I scoped a coupon for Bobby Q-$30 for two dinners, appetizer and dessert. I figured what the heck, I've heard a lot of good things about this place, though I've been burned before it doesn't make me fear that fire :) So me and a buddy went for some Q this past weekend.
This place is actually a lot hipper and nicer than the...umm....kinda crap neighborhood would make you think it would be...the entrance is not really well marked, we thought they were closed because we couldn't get in!! We could be dumb though...
The brisket rolls were deep fried goodness, nothing wrong with that. Chicken/rib combo was solid very moist, though I would have appreciated more smoke flavor. And the spare ribs had that gristly-mini-bones-fatty-section action (though not unusual for untrimmed spare ribs) The sauce and the sides (mashed potato and mac-n-cheese) were good and the portions are absolutely ENORMOUS! I'm still eating their Q!!
I absolutly love to hang out on this patio. It's really beautiful and comfortable (weather permitting). It's shady and the water features make a total feng shui relaxing atmosphere. At lunch try the fried chicken, its a boneless breast, pounded real flat and tender served with mashed potatoes and country gravy. Also one time the waiter recomended the top sirloin sand. (I would never order that, prefering a fillet) he said just TRY IT! I was one of the best steak sands I've ever had. I guess there really is something to be said for aging the beef on premise! They have a good HH menu. The lounge side is a bit young for me, but we have ventured over there (after a few cocktails) and it was fun. When your in the mood to be outside this is the place to go! I've eaten there several times and the only minor disappointment I've had was the Fish & Chips on friday. Mabey they have improved, I had it when it was a new item. I like the big crunchy fries and these were shoe string fries. Also the fish wasn't crunchy, but it still tasted good. The servers all pleasant and efficient, bar tenders too. Also you get "THANK YOU" doughnuts after your meal, that are fried right there by the hostess stand!
My office tends to go here often for lunch. I have gotten the fish all every time i have been there. The fish is fabulous. It is a different type of batter than you usually get. The fries that come with it are the shoe string type and quite good. The table gets corn bread which is my favorite. I might just only eat the corn bread next time.
On occasion, the wait staff has not been as prompt as I normally care for. I waited almost 15 minutes once for vinegar for the fish and chips. Sometimes they are slow to refill drinks. It is usually when it is a small party that I have had slower service.
Came back again and this time brought some friends to help us eat the Hog Heaven meal and we still had a ton of yummy left overs. Our waitress (I think her name was Megan, sorry I can't remember now) was super patient with us. She was always on top of things. Jason, the manager, came by and said hi to all the patrons. What a nice guy! Look forward to coming back here again and again. Sign up for their newsletter! I just got an offer for a free appetizer.
I trekked all the way here from east Mesa because I had to have BBQ. It was worth the trip.
We got…

really too good to try anywhere else. i think i will go somewhere else and give 'em a try, then the disappointment when they do not come close has sealed the deal for me. i will only do bobby q for bar be que from now on.
until they slip up or something goes amiss i will give them my loyal patronage. they didn't even mess up a take out order, so any and every is top notch here in my little tasty intake. yummy in my tummy and that's a big tummy!
Absolutely delicious. Cornbread was superb! Highly recommend this for great service and food. Great free dessert like a warmed fried donut!
It's pretty clear from all the reviews, meat loving barbeque aficionados really like Bobby Q's.
This review is for my fellow vegetarians who for some reason end up here. Why you say, would a vegetarian even end up here? Well, for one, to keep peace in the family, for the sides, and for my fave salad, a wedge of iceberg lettuce ( I can hear some of your groans, "iceberg lettuce!" "What is she talking about") with house made chunky blue cheese dressing. This dressing is the best I've ever had - I usually get a pint or so to take home. The grilled vegies are consistently good as are the baked potatoes and the corn bread. The mac and cheese is rather average. Prices are reasonable - portions on the large size.
The little donuts they send you home with are a nice/sweet way to end the meal - but not worth the calories.
The wait staff are fun, friendly, efficient - the camaraderie has a good feel to it.
In a town starving for good BBQ, Bobby-Q's really shines. Without question, they have the very best pork ribs available in Phoenix (although a star is deducted because the spare ribs are way too small, especially considering the pricey tendency of the menu). Their sauce is delicious, if somewhat tame. Their appetizers and sides are inventive and delicious. If it just so happens that you have someone with you who isn't feeling the love for BBQ that night - well you're in luck, because they also happen to be a highly competent steakhouse. The atmosphere is richly subdued, very elegant. This isn't what a good BBQ joint is supposed to look like - so at the outset, I was wary. But make no mistake, these guys know how to BBQ.
GREAT BBQ place in Phoenix...my colleagues and I went here one evening for some dinner and everyone had nothing but nice things to say about them! I ordered the hot links with coleslaw, and mac and cheese and everything was absolutely delicious and bursting with flavor. The hot links were awesome, full of spice and a large enough portion to feed two people, I'd say. The sides were good portions as well and plenty for one person. I would definitely return during my next visit to Phoenix. Thank you Bobby Q's!
***4.5 stars
So a good friend of mine and I made the trek to Bobby Q's today for a late lunch and we were so glad we did. I was slightly concerned having read some of the negative reviews of the pulled pork though. You see, I'm a big fan of pulled pork. and to drive that distance for and average plate, well, that would piss me off.
Anyway, my friend ordered the combination plate - St Louis style baby back ribs, brisket, two sizeable pieces of chicken and a monster loaded baked potato. I'm not a big rib fan, but OMFG, the St Louis style ribs were succulent. Seriously, they were falling off the bone, plenty of meat and the flavor was unreal.....seriously, amazing flavor. No complaints either on the brisket and the chicken, very nice flavor...especially with a tad bit more of their spicy bbq sauce.
The Pulled Pork platter is very simple, just a large portion of pulled pork and a side - pecan cole slaw. The super juicy pork did not need bbq sauce at all, its flavor perfect, but hey, I quickly became a fan of their spicy sauce. Add a 20 oz beer into the mix, and you have the makings of a really excellent lunch.
We were tempted to try the Mud Pie for dessert, and after hiking Camelback Mountain @ sunrise, I know I "earned it", but I decided that Bobby Q's will become part of the lunch destination rotation, so next time, probably late next week, I'll come back and try it.
Oh, last but not least, Kristi, our server, was so nice, friendly and attentive. Definitely added to overall appeal to Bobby Q's and the meal.
If you haven't been to Bobby Q's and you like BBQ, definitely check out this place. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
back in town for spring training and we had to go back.
Alot of the time when you go back somewhere its never as good as the first time but not here. I ordred the brisket and its the best. The dont hide the meat with a gallon of sauce. they actually dont give you enough sauce. They dont need to because the meat is that good but most sauces are bad and you would actually want them to drence the meat with there sauce. Its hard to find great meat with great sauce. The mac n cheese was the best. good bread. I cant wait to go back to Phx to see family of course :-) This is also the place to be. came on a friday night and it took forever to get a table but the club/bar was jam packed.
Wow!
I will now compare every barbeque to this place. I got the brisket sandwich and it was amazing.…

So, the bf and I are in Phoenix for the weekend and looking for a good steakhouse. All I'm able to find is a Lone Star, Black Angus, and Outback Steakhouse. Boo. I notice the Bobby Q off the I-17 and look it up on Yelp. Pretty good reviews, and they serve steak! So off we go.
What we ordered:
Strawberry Qlada & Mudslide on the Rocks
Q-Rolls
Wedge Salad
Ribeye Steak (with cole slaw and potato salad)
Prime Rib with Shrimp Chimichurri (with roasted corn and ranch beans)
My Strawberry Qlada was delicious (I like the coconut on the rim of the glass), but the mudslide was missing an ingredient (easily fixed). The Q-Rolls weren't anything spectacular, but they did taste good. We shared the wedge salad, which they split it for us and I was thankful! It was enough as a starter, and it was also very good.
The ribeye was amazing! When it arrived, the bf asked for steak sauce, but after taking a bite of the steak, he decided that the steak sauce was not necessary. It was so juicy and flavorful, I was a little disappointed I didn't order it for myself. However, my prime rib was also juicy (not as thick a cut as Lawry's, but pretty good anyway!) and the shrimp was also nice addition. The sides were all very good, but I loved my roasted corn the best!
I realized there were two things missing from our dinners after we left the restaurant. The ribeye should have come with cornbread and the prime rib should have come with a jumbo baked potato. I don't think I could have eaten the potato, but I would have liked to have tasted that cornbread.
Our server, Smitty, was EXCELLENT. He was friendly and attentive, and he made sure we were well taken care of. He definitely made our overall dining experience a positive one.
We'll definitely come back again.
I have had 3 experiences with Bobby Q's. I have eaten there once, and picked up their food twice.
Driving past their location on the freeway it looks like an interesting yet typical bbq place. However, once you walk in, you will find that Bobby Q's is more upscale than you would think. The inside is very nice and definitely the nicest bbq place I have ever seen.
As for the food, it is excellent! The brisket is the best I have ever tasted. The bbq chicken, fries, and macaroni n' cheese are up there as well. I would like to try more things (like the ribs), but I just can't get enough of the brisket. The corn bread is also worth a try as are those lil' donuts they give you at the end of your meal. The donuts are made fresh and are definitely not the healthiest thing you can have, but omg they are fried magic for your mouth!
My experience with the service is that it is always fast, friendly, and helpful on both my dine-in and take-out experiences.
I honestly can't wait to eat here again!
"Very, Very, Very, Very Good!" my wife's cousin's daughter(what' her official title anyway?) said after her dinner and that sums up this place.
Great decor. Fast and friendly service. And most importantly good food. Go on Sunday's and they have special called Hog's Heaven at a discounted prices ($28). It comes with 1/2 pound each of the following: Chicken, Brisket, St Louis Ribs, Baby Back Ribs and two sides. More than enough food to feed 4 adults and 4 children.
The brisket was my favorite. It was melt in your mouth good. I would have preferred if they did not douse it with BBQ sauce as I like it on the side. It was still good. Ribs were off the bone delicious. These were my kids favorite. The chicken was moist. For the two sides we ordered shoe string fries, they were OK, nice and crispy and the grilled veggies.
When you leave they give you complimentary donuts, which are freshly fried in the front. They have a cool looking mini fryer. They were yummy according to my kids. I did not partake in those as I was stuffed.
I will be going back to this place again fo-sure.
BTW there is a bar with a dance floor on the other side of the restaurant for those of you who are interested. Look they were just getting ready for the night crowd when we were leaving.
Tasty, yes. Maybe a hair on the pretentious side, which makes it WAY too pretentious for BBQ. Ice shouldn't be in the urinals and there shouldn't be a lounge section. The bartender was really friendly and chatted up the handful of us seated there, as well as the servers that came by for drinks for their tables. Prices are maybe on the high end for BBQ, but you get a ton of food for it, so at least the value is there (I couldn't actually finish my three meat combo). I enjoyed and would recommend to anyone looking for BBQ in Phoenix.
first of all I loved the corn with butter and spices. The steaks are tender and prefectly cooked everytime. would love to go to Phoenix just to go eat here again and again.....
Excellent ribs and sides - the mashed potatoes were amazing. To be honest, I was completely shocked to find this place off the 17 this spring watching Spring Training. Don't let the part of town dissuade you. Friendly and knowledgeable service, good margaritas, and really good pre-dinner bread.
Growing up in the Midwest where good ribs are not hard to come by, I would put the rack of baby backs I had at Bobby Q's right up there with some of the best I've had. Will definitely go back when I'm visiting Phoenix again.
Bobby Q's definitely has a chain restaurant feel, as it was part of a now defunct (or severely downsized) corporation who saved only this location. The ambience is great, if a little contrived. ...but the service and speed was efficient and almost perfect.
Our plates were HOT. I can't even remember the last time my food came out that hot. I had a nice plate of pulled pork with pecan topped coleslaw and roasted corn. My roommate had a half serving of baby back ribs with grilled vegetables and a baked potato. Man, the barbecue was pretty delicious and comparable to the stuff we had in Austin, TX. The cornbread was deeeelicious, and served with some whipped butter.
This all adds up to about a 4, but then the server brought us hot, little donuts in a cute paper bag. SO DELICIOUS.
For price, service, food, ambience (they have a great patio)... everything was wonderful. It was a great first Phoenix meal.
Wow, the best pulled pork sandwich I have ever had. I had the coleslaw as my side which was better than any other I can remember. I've heard that the ribs and brisket are very good too. Reasonable prices during happy hour.
They have a lounge/bar/dance club attached to the dining room and it was much nicer than I expected. Our server said Tuesdays are their busiest nights in the lounge/dance club area, (Tuesdays nights WTF?) Interesting mix of people when I was there on a Wed. night. Not the Tempe crowd, or Scottsdale crowd, or even the downtown hipster crowd. It's the METROCENTER crowd which is just a mix of regular city folk.
I know a thing or two about a good BBQ being from the midwest. Let me tell you that Bobby Q's is a good good day.
The doughnuts at the end are wonderful.
I recommend hittin' this place up on a Sunday when you can get the family chicken/ribs/pork/brisket with 2 sides combo.
If I'm ever back in Phoenix I'll be over at Bobby Q's.
I dunno if this is THE BEST BBQ i've EVER had.... but it is definitely the best i've had in phoenix!
they offer this family special - the whole hog heaven, which is st louis style ribs, bbq pork, bbq beef brisket, and bbq chicken, plus 2 sides, for around $30, which feeds 2-3 people. so we ordered one of these, plus a 3 meat combo (2 orders of baby back ribs + more bbq beef brisket). oh my word. so much meat! tasty, glorious, juicy, succulent meat! i heartily recommend the st louis ribs over the baby backs, bc they were cooked SO tender and were so nice and meaty.
it was alllllllll good! and their spicy bbq sauce? love it! for sides, we tried the grilled corn, mashed potatoes, and shoestring fries. i'd say forget the fries, but definitely get some of that corn! and the cornbread.... well. it was pretty good, but i did expect better.
i saved some room for dessert, and we tried the apple griddle cake. it was like.... cooked apples on top of a custard-like crust. we were expecting it to be more of an apple pie type deal, so it was slightly disappointing. and it also wasn't awesome, but it was still good. i adore how they give you a cute little bag of hot, fresh donuts! they were delish, and still tasty the next morning.
a little deals heads up - if you go on sundays, the whole hog heaven meal is a bit cheaper. can't remember the exact numbers since i didn't pick up the tab, but it's a screamin' deal!
I just feel compelled to again state how much I freakin' love this place
I think its super.
Last time I branched out and ordered a filet (my bf ordered ribs and then we split to make for a delicious mixed meal)
OMG
THE FILET WAS AMAZING!
Like, better than high end steakhouses.
I love this place.
Just wish it were closer to me!
I have to agree with the other fantastic ratings
I love the food
I'm not sure I'd ever go to the…

I just drove past Bobby-Q's and remembered that I've had a good experience with them.
The time was around Thanksgiving. They offer smoked turkeys that are pretty much ingenious. One, they're smoked - so literally half the cooking is done for you. I can't stand putting an entire raw bird in an oven and waiting for it to cook for 234 hours. Well, I've never really done that, because I think I wouldn't like it much, as I hate waiting while I watch people poke, prod, and baste a raw behemoth and then put it in the oven for 234 hours.
This thing was done in I think 2 hours. 2 hours!!! Brilliant. And better yet - it tasted phenomenal. The spice rub was so complementary to the meat it needed no sauce to make it a tasty experience.
And it wasn't cost-prohibitive. The only thing you really need to worry about is ordering one well enough ahead of time for your occasion.
Tried this place out today, was craving a pulled pork sandwich.. Overall the place was okay, it was nice inside and had a cute set-up.. Service was eh..
First the hostess could not answer any of our questions about happy hour.. we asked if it was just in the bar area.. had no clue, sat us in the main dining room and then told our waitress.. Apparently it was one of those restaurants were happy hour is in the bar only (which I really don't understand).. anyway our waitress said she'd give us happy hour prices, but didn't understand that we also wanted to order dinner, (people don't eat dinner in the bar?).. Maybe it was new-training staff day or something..
We were given cornbread to start which was good, but just crumbled in your hand.. then my friend got the Poboy Catfish sandwich, not impressed, said it was so freaking dry the fish and everything.. I had better luck with my pulled-pork sandwich.. However, it was a huge mess to eat, which I understand that just how it is, but I had no silverware to try and help.. I got fries on the side and I love fries, eat them all the time.. but these were covered with grease, not just your normal greasy fries but had enough they created a puddle, just too much for me.
Overall the food was okay (say no to the catfish).. I would go back for another pork sandwich but with a side of potato salad instead
Passing with flying colors:
Baby back ribs - no explanation necessary (just order it)
Brisket - damn, this shit was juicy and delicious
BBQ sauce - original and spicy (was light just the way BBQ sauce should be; none of the thick Baby Ray's shit)
Cornbread - slightly crispy on top and mind-blowing
Grilled veggies - YUMMMMMMY
Roasted corn - we were fighting for the last kernels
-------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------
Piss poor performance:
Pulled-pork sandwich - disgusting dry; disgrace to pulled-pork sandwiches
Macaroni and cheese - did they get it from an elementary school cafeteria?
Shoestring fries - yuck; how do you screw up fries? Atrocious fries.
Pecan coleslaw - ummm, you call that coleslaw? What a sorry excuse for one.
-------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------
Middle-ground territory (was okay but wouldn't order again):
Onion block - we were served oil, wide a side of onions straws.
-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------
Conclusion - definitely a place to try but the consistency of quality is...just not consistent.
