    Reuben Smokes with fries
    Joy S.

    Service was friendly and quick. Plenty of seating indoors and out. Only one restroom was working and the towel dispenser in there was broken. The prices have gone up considerably since we were there, but that's happened everywhere. The side salad ($4) had lots of yummy fresh ingredients--mixed greens, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, cheese. The ranch dressing was tasty when used as a dip for fries, but didn't seem to have much flavor on the salad. The meats (dark chicken and pork) were ok, but not spectacular. The skin on the chicken was slathered with bbq sauce, but the meat itself was pretty bland, although it was very tender. The pork had some sweet sauce that detracted from the smokiness of the meat. The fries were excellent. The cornbread tasty and covered in melted butter. For the cost, we'd probably try a different place next time.

    AZ Cheesesteak and Big Js pulled pork with amazing BBQ beans

    Disclaimer: I rarely, if ever, give 5 stars. There is ALWAYS room for improvement. That said, a friend and I spent the day in Jerome. We are local VV residents, but Jerome is a treat and in my opinion, not a daily adventure. I've been reading reviews on Bobby D's for some time so we decided to try it. Started off with drinks - local Belfrey Brewery IPA and the Jerome Donkey??? Good bourbon old fashion with a twist. Entrees were the AZ Cheesesteak and the Big J. We split the sandwiches which were huge! Both of us opted for the baked beans, which were FAB! Pieces of brisket and flavored perfectly! The pulled pork and slaw in the Big J were awesome! Pieces in apple really make the slaw and the pork's was beyond generous. The Carolina style sauce is perfect with the pork. The brisket was again, plentiful. I did find a large piece of fat, but I can overlook that based on the quality of the meat. Tried all the sauces and loved them all! We also had the fried zucchini, which was breaded just right, tasty and served with a top notch homemade ranch. We sat in the outdoor patio and watched Main Street. They have daily specials and live music. My only complaint with Jerome is the parking but we lucked out that day, lol. Service was good, our server Jose offered suggestions and recommendations. Overall, just a cute, laidback venue with awesome food and libations. There are lots of restaurants in Jerome for its size...this is a good start for the Jerome foodie scene!

    Outdoor patio. Dog-friendly? Heck ya!

    I've always wanted to eat here, but of course we already had our favorite spot for when in Jerome... Today I somehow convinced my husband to try it with me and so we took our chances and stopped in for lunch. It was a Sunday afternoon and we got lucky and scored a nice table on the outside patio which is dog-friendly. Service was actually decent, but sadly, I can't (and won't) rave over the food. Smoked BBQ is what drove me here and though my preference is to have a spicy BBQ sauce available, this place didn't really meet my expectation. My husband ordered the Smoked Reuben sandwich, which was made with beef brisket as opposed to the traditional corned beef. He said it was good (or he was very hungry because he ate that thing in speed time!), but it could've used more flavor. I had to agree because my brisket sandwich was very bland. I mean the meat was super tender, but it lacked flavor. I added one of the bbq sauces, but even then, it was bland. . I actually only ate half of mine and was done, due to not being overly thrilled by it. Our server did bring out a six-pack of sauce choices, but I really wish there had been a spicy BBQ. So much for the food... So now, about the location itself. They do smoke their meats in an outside smoker and as we were sitting down eating we happened to have a table that overlooked the area where the smoker was located under a gigantic tree. I think what turned me off is witnessing a young man come out and retrieve two trays of bacon from the smoker and he placed the first one on a table (a very dirty table!) and then stacked the second tray on top of the first tray! All I could imagine is how dirty the bottoms of all them trays are if they are setting them down on that gross surface! I was immediately turned off!!! Because of this, I honestly can say, I will not be eating there again! Anyway, $60 later (inc. tip) and for that price all I can say is that we now know what we know and we will not be back.

    Have been to Bobby Ds several times in the past, I'm a return customer. Our group of 7 stopped in on Sunday after a long days jeep excursion, hungry and looking forward to some good eats. While our waiter was quite accommodating and pleasant the food experience was not of quality previously experienced nor equal to the expense. The 4 orders of Zucchini were over cooked and the burger was lack luster. I shared with my waiter the lack of protein content on my sandwich and asked for a side of meat. Kudos for providing a second sandwich however there wasn't much more than a few oz of brisket and the balance was fat. The brisket portion on the other sandwichs also primarily consisted of fat. It would have been much better to tell us you were out of brisket. Can't say I'll be back nor will the others.

    The brisket was ok. Fatty and smoked. It was tender and small serving. The place is old and charming. Price is on the high side.

    Ribs, brisket and sauce
    Eddie T.

    So right off the bat your on the side of Mingus Mtn in Jerome (nuff said about that). My wife and I both got drafts and they were ICE COLD, a must for draft beer. I was torn bc I love brisket, but I also love ribs. PROBLEM SOLVED. They have a rib platter that comes with choice of other meat. BOOM brisket baby! The ribs and the brisket were amazing! My wife had the pulled pork sandwich and it was gimongo! The sauces were great too. Their signature crowd favorite, jalapeño molasses, was the best! The flavor of jalapeño, but not all the heat. This is a definite "put it on your list" eatery. We drove from downtown Sedona and it's well worth the drive!

    Barbecue Burger & Brisket Sandwich
    Kim M.

    Popped into Bobby D's while on a day-trip to Jerome. Just like almost every place in Jerome, it's a hodgepodge of rooms with uneven flooring and fixtures that have likely been in place for a century, but they do have fun (if not rickety) patio from which you can observe the comings and goings of the colorful locals and tourists. We ordered a couple of AZ beers on draft as well as the BBQ Burger and Brisket Sandwich. Neither comes WITH a side, so be sure to add those on if you want them. The food came out fast and the server was friendly, bringing us an assortment of sauces for dipping and drenching. The burger was tender and basic, with a butter brioche bun, thin and super crispy bacon, and a couple of onion rings stacked on top. It also came with a side of some sort of queso which I passed on. No lettuce or tomatoes, but that didn't bother me at all. My friend ordered the brisket sand, which again, was plain but tasty (although a little too fatty). Overall good if you're looking for an easy and salty quick meal in Jerome.

    Brisket sandwich with fries.

    Bobby D's reminds me of Texas. This is a little slice of barbecue Heaven located in Jerome, AZ. The brisket was A little fatty but it was delicious. When visiting Jerome, my recommendation for food will always be Bobby D's no matter what anybody else tries to tell me! Whenever brisket is on the menu, you better believe that's what I'm getting!

    Great restaurant! Family oriented. The food was amazing we all got the Arizona cheesesteak! It was delicious! Highly recommend this place!

The filet mignon is simply out of this world--served sizzling in a cast iron skillet with clarified butter, it's incredibly flavorful, perfectly cooked, and melt-in-your-mouth tender. It's the kind of dish you think about long after the meal is over. What really sets this place apart, though, is the people. The staff consistently go above and beyond, creating an experience that feels both elevated and welcoming. And Michael, the manager, is exceptional--so accommodating, attentive, and genuinely invested in making every guest feel taken care of. It's rare to find a restaurant that delivers this level of quality and consistency twice, let alone make you want to keep coming back. Without a doubt, one of the greatest dining experiences in the USA. We'll absolutely be back again.

My cousin and I were lucky enough to swoop right in before the kitchen closed. We shared a grilled and cheese sandwich ($10.75) + ($4.50 for the ham). To be honest, I felt a little impatient waiting for our sandwich because given the space and kitchen, I just expected a simple grilled ham & cheese situation. Instead, out came the most glorious grilled ham and cheese I have ever encountered. It was beautifully crafted - 2 types of melty cheese (cheddar + havarti), a thick slice of honey ham, topped with fresh spinach all sandwiched between two toasted slices of garlic butter-ed whole grain bread. It was unexpectedly gourmet and a perfect treat after trekking up and down the hills of Jerome. I'm pretty sure I met Chad during our quick meal. He's nice. And Flatiron is the perfect pit stop.

That's fine. I get it. The problem is...the food was not great. It wasn't terrible, but it was not delicious. The gluten-free pizza crust was soggy and tasteless, the cheese was undercooked.
