Ok, incredible. The food, service, flavor, portions, ambiance, the house made donuts at the end, all completely positive. I had the St Louis style ribs with corn and Mac salad and the flavors were beautiful and the meat was moist and melts in your mouth. The prices are reasonable and the service was fast and friendly. Definitely worth visiting.

Let me start by saying this is probably the BEST BBQ we have had probably EVER! We sat inside at the bar which had a great view of the outside patio. Our bartender was busy however she always checked on us and made some amazing margaritas! We had the jalapeno mango and blueberry margaritas. For dinner my boyfriend had the pick 3 meats which were fantastic. THE BRISKET YUM!! I had the baby backs which were amazingly tender. The Mac n cheese was super creamy. Definitely check this place out!

The pork BBQ was phenomenal. We had a large group and the service was great. Everything came out at a good time and the portions were perfect. The mac n cheese was not dry, the meat just fell off the bones. Dessert portion is huge as well. Also don't forgot to ask about the free donuts when your done. Pro tip to put ice cream on the warm donuts!

Stopped in at this totally awesome Barbecue restaurant on our way home from the Grand Canyon on February 2nd while vacationing in Arizona. I could tell we were in for a real treat Right off the bat, the atmosphere and service were top notch! We started off the evening with some ice cold beverages and then got right down to some amazing appetizers!!! We ordered brisket egg rolls + some jalapeno bacon stuffed brisket poppers PHENOMENAL! Both were so very tasty I highly recommend! After a few more rounds of drinks, we ordered our dinner I highly recommend adding the cornbread to any one of your meals. You will not be disappointed, perfectly made! My wife and I split the two meat dinner pulled pork and brisket with sides of garlic. Mashed potatoes + broccoli and asparagus All meals were very well prepared with very generous portions! When you're all done with your meal, they give you the most wonderful tasting donuts to go or to eat there for dessert if you should so choose lol We were so full we had to take him home I'd like to say that for my very first visit Bobby -Q BBQ Restaurant was worth every penny. The food was sensational!!!! Definitely five star quality all the way around! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ WE WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK!

My first time there, I love it, the food the service, the music was fun at first, but for some reason it was cut off, but never the less I love it, the salmon was well season and the brocoli was stem really nice, not too much season in the salmon, the ribs we're very good, the kids love it, it was well cook,and nicely season, I can't wait to go back there. The place was very clean, the structure is very nice as well, it old school like.

Disappointed with the 3-meat platter. Order sausage which was cut into chips, not whole. Chips were overly fried, worse than jerky and nothing but salty tasting. The baby back ribs were moist - no smoke taste. The brisket was worse, zero smoke taste. - super dry and had that leftover taste. Potato salad lacked flavor and the ranch style beans were lacking substance - blah. Service was awesome and the interior was inviting. Overall, a bit pricey for the lack of quality.

First time here and this is an awesome place. I don’t think there is anything bad in the menu. From the appetizer to the steak dinner to the dessert. If you leave hungry it’s your own fault. Definitely will return.

We stumbled upon Bobby’s by chance, but from the moment we arrived, we knew we’d found something special. The atmosphere is nothing short of spectacular, with décor and a vibe that set the stage for an unforgettable experience. I went with the three-meat platter, paired with mac and cheese and a smoked Old Fashioned—an excellent choice. The service was top-notch, and the food did not disappoint. If you visit, do yourself a favor and order the smoked sausage—it’s a must-try. Just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, we were treated to warm, homemade donuts to finish off the meal. Talk about the perfect ending!
