The staff here was friendly and engaging and I can say that both the woman at the food station and the woman at the checkout were great. The customers were also friendly. This place had a great vibe. I ordered the chicken here and for my sides, I went with the potato wedges and onion rings. All were excellent. Prices were in line with what you would expect. The half chicken with two sides was somewhere around thirteen dollars and a large iced tea was I believe two dollars and fifty cents. Robertson BBQ is just about ten minutes off of the highway and it is definitely worth the detour. All in all, Robertson BBQ is a fantastic place for barbecue and I would definitely recommend it and I will give it five stars.

It's "lean back in your chair, close your eyes, and rethink your life choices" good. The atmosphere reminded me of grandma's house, surrounded by family! Friendly folks, generous portions, and flavors that stick with you long after the last bite...no wonder TikTok blew this place up. Believe the hype. This spot is a must-stop. If you're anywhere within driving distance, make the trip. And if you're not, well...it's still worth it. This spot lives up to the hype.

The ribs were not quite ready, yet, so I did the Rib Tips and Wings. Such tasty morsels of pork! No sauce needed! And lots of them! Just the right amount of smoke and rub. Wings were smoky and tender and juicy! Was able to talk with Daniel for a few minutes. Now I know one of the best pit masters around!

The original remains the best. Nestled in an African American rural neighborhood south of town, the…read morevery journey along an old 2-land highway is a throwback to a different South. The building is classic roadhouse style--totally unpretentious with its sign and adverts plaster on the walls. The interior is the same, open seating and seats at the bar. The menu has broadened over the years, rather than just ribs, white bread and pudding, you can get a pork sandwich and chicken with a limited number of sides (the Mac and cheese is superior). The franchised Dreamlands are so different with a plethora of choices, more to the liking of the suburban south. If you like that, go for it. For my money, you can't beat the original. The ribs are charred perfectly and the service is old time South, friendly and helpful. You immediately feel at ease with everything and everyone around you. Take out is available--actually this place is just minutes off the highway. But a whole another world at the same time.

I took my family here as we traveled through. We were hours away when I would tell them stories of traveling here just for the best ribs I ever eaten. It was now an adventure. We arrived and the building looked the same, the customer service polite and inviting. The atmosphere superb. The food not so much. The ribs were charred, there was hardly any meat. It was the worst ribs I had in a long time. The ribs did not have that love they once had, they no longer had that care of the art of bbq. I felt horrible that I spent so much and took my family here. O' how I dream of those days at Dreamland when the ribs just fell off that bone and the eagerness of the next bite because they were so so good. I pray one day they will go back to their roots and the dream that Dreamland once had to provide the best southern bbq ribs around.

The staff was extremely friendly and patient while customers made their selections. You go up to the counter to order & pay and they bring your food out when it's ready. The seating area is large, clean, and has a relaxing vibe to it. We ordered the BBQ ribs & tips w/cabbage & dressing, BBQ ribs & tips w/green beans & yams, and the Chicken & dumplings w/green beans & baked beans. The meals all came with cornbread. The ribs had the perfect amount of smoke flavor & bbq sauce. They were also nice and tender. The sides were all flavorful and nicely seasoned, the cornbread was excellent. Highly recommend giving this restaurant a try

They have a menu but the sides for that day were handwritten on the counter and some menu items weren't quite ready off the grill yet. The lady working was so great and made recommendations while helping us make a decision. She was definitely trying to upsell us but I think it's because she actually loves their food and knew it was our first visit. The portions were a lot but the price was reasonable. I loved all of my sides which included potato salad, Mac/cheese, and cornbread. We opted for the sauce on our ribs and chicken which made it messy but it was so worth it. Give these guys a shot! Don't judge them from the outside, it smelled delicious as soon as we parked and we knew we made the right decision.

Our large order included two rib plates, yet after waiting for almost a hour, with numerous other customers coming in and out, someone from the back finally came out and announced that they had ran out of ribs and the wait for ribs would be a hour long... we had already been waiting for a hour tho ?? The miscommunication / lack of communication from the kitchen had some customers ready to get their money back, but my order of ribs finally came out after another 30 mins ... I ordered a rib and pork plate with Mac and cheese and potato salad as sides (7.5/10) I enjoyed the potato salad the most. The ribs looked big, but there really wasn't much meat on them compared to the size of the bone. Both the pork and ribs were dry and def needed the sauce that was included. The meats with the sauce did have good seasoning / flavor tho. I also tried their banana pudding (8/10). I'd stop back in here when in town again, but next time, eat in the actual restaurant when it's fresh and hot. My overall rate of experience : 7.8/10
