Tried it several times now and although the BBQ is very good I have found it to be a little on the heavy smoked side. The ribs are fall off the bone delicious and the brisket is wonderful. Hours later you find yourself dealing with the smoke flavor. Definitely not a fan of the sausage, its just too much smoke! And I love sausage. I guess you can have too much of a good thing. Very good service and it's a great looking restaurant. read more

got 'WHOLE Hog Heaven'--brisket had a HEAVY, TOO heavy, salty/mushy covering (once removed brisket was passable. Sausage was great. baby backs great. Meat ribs OK, but very tough. BBQ sauce options GREAT--spicy I REALLY liked. French fries GREAT. Beans, average. Good portions. GREAT ambiance inside. Complementary mini-cinnamon donuts nice touch. Alcohol was more expensive than comparable places. Wait staff average. read more

I want to really like this place but when I first walked I had to walk past a bunch of smokers with my kids. They should think of moving the smoking area somewhere else. Then it smelled like a nursing home. One of the bathroom sinks didn't work, there was water all over the bathroom floor. Now the food, my husband's food made him sick to his stomach, he got a caesar salad to start has soon has he started eating it he said he it made him feel sick. So he had his entree put into to go box. Me and my kids got the Q-rolls and they were good. My kids enjoyed thier food. One got a kids cheese pizza which was big enough that they could have shared, and the other got the fried Chicken was she liked. My food I got the brisket and mac and cheese. The Mac was good just like homemade, the brisket had more fat then meat and was too smokey like a weird smoke flavor kinda chemically tasting. Probably won't try again. read more

See all

We came here last Wednesday with a family member from out of town, we have eaten at the original location before and loved it so we were hoping that this location closer to home now would be just as good and it did not disappoint. Everyone loved their meals so much, I am newly vegan for health reasons and so it was hard to order anything for myself besides a salad but it was a good sized salad and they were very nice about making sure it did not have cheese on it and the right kind of dressing. I know the sauce is amazing so maybe they could add a portabella mushroom burger to the menu??! Service is always the best you will ever get, it was packed with graduation parties but we were served quickly and never needed to ask for a re-fill. I just really love the consistency for both locations, we will always come here for a great meal! read more

Honestly it is barely 3 stars. First off, the prices are so high. $27 for a rack of ribs. Any small specialty BBQ is 2/3's the price and better. I went in with high expectations and was disappointed from the start. They put us in a dark area and didn't want us sitting at a well lit table unless we went back up front and waited. The service was slower than expected. I believe more from the kitchen than our server. The high lite of my meal was the Lemonade. Serious! We both had a pulled pork sandwich. Basically bland poorly seasoned meat on a stale bun. It's only redeeming factor was the bottom of the bun was so hard the juice won't let it get soggy. Though it was very hard to cut. The pecan slaw we put on top help the flavor aspect. They have 2 sauces. Boring and Barely Good. Barely good did have a little kick The shoe string fries are nice though much to salty. If you don't order desert they give you some fresh donuts that are tasty but need to be cooked longer. Otherwise they are a lovely treat to leave with. I'm sure after a little work they will get things improved. I will go back, since I want to try their beef ribs. read more

Brisket was great! Corn bread cakes were awesome. Sad, the donut machine was broken but there's always next time :)

Food at this place is always amazing. The issue that we have had when we have had an issue is with service. Unfortunately the most recent time that we walked in it seemed like takeout area was more concerned with texting on their phone than serving customers. Another time, again we order takeout and part of our order was missing when we got home . Other than that as I said, the food is always amazing. Hopefully the service catches up to the food :-) read more

Yesterday was our first visit for my wife and I. We were very impressed with the quality of the food. The waitress was friendly and informative, and we left stuffed. We were served free cornbread before our meal, and it was very fresh and warm. For dinner we enjoyed a loaded baked potato with brisket and a brisket sandwich. The meat was slow-cooked for 18 hours and literally fell apart in our mouths. It was amazing. If you're looking for a great BBQ spot, Bobby Qs is your place to go. read more

Food and service was fantastic. The owners must have put a ton of money into the place because it looks awesome. Hot smoked prime rib was the best prime rib ive ever had (and ive had a lot...!) Would have given 5 stars, however drink menu had no pricing and we felt totally over charged for drinks....:( Nice touch at the end with greasy hot donuts (comp)! Will absolutely go back, just skip the booze. read more

Very pricey for a BBQ place but it is good food. Wish the had a dance club at this location as well.

Beautiful restaurant is the beginning-but the food is amazing good! They begin with cornbread that is so moist it almost falls apart. Tried the BBQ mac & cheese and salad and need more than a 10 rating for this meal! The servers are the best I've experienced in a long time. Happy hour pitchers of beer are $5! A great happy hour menu from 2-6 Monday- Friday. What a great experience!!!! read more

We came here for a team lunch (work related) not too long ago. I wish I'd been for dinner instead. I needed a nap after that delicious meal! This just means I must return! And I will! read more

Best BBQ place in town. The one off the 17 is amazing too but this location is very nice, so glad I live close by! I swear I always fill up on corn bread before I even order because it's so amazing. I'm not really a meat eater so I just pick off my boyfriends plate and get Mac and cheese! The Mac and cheese is so Rich and creamy honestly 4 bites and I'm full. I was disappointed with the Caesar salad, but honestly who expects a good salad at a bbq place. Don't eat too much for dinner here to save room for the freshly fried donuts. I always burn my mouth, and never regret it. read more

Can't say enough good things about this place! We needed a place that took reservations since we had family in town and had a party of 11. Definite plus that reservations are an option! We were seated promptly and the service was incredible. Our waitress was so friendly and the manager checked on us also. All 11 of us loved our chosen meals. We will definitely be back! read more

Everything we got on the menu is absolutely amazing, the drinks are good the pulled pork is phenomenal the appetizer was amazing as well and the service was great we will definitely be coming back! I highly recommend this place! read more

One of the nicest waitresses. Hailey was so friendly & helpful. Way cute!Makes such a big difference when going out to eat. And the food is always good! We always end up with leftovers. Just as delicious the next day! read more

Best BBQ I've ever had!! And I spent the first 26 years of my life in Texas! We will be back for sure!! Split the whole hog heaven with someone and try a little bit of everything. Mac and cheese is a must. Q Rolls are to die for. read more

Bobby Q's is always a great choice when you are craving great BBQ. We don't venture over here often enough, but I'm glad we did tonight. Our server, Garrett, made sure that we were well taken care of and took extra steps to accommodate an onion allergy. The brisket and hot links are my go to, especially with the spicy sauce. And don't forget the doughnuts at the end! A fantastic way to end a great meal. read more

Visited Sunday night and was able to be seated right away, so was off to a good start! We began with some Q-rolls, one word, AMAZING! You must try these! Had a couple beers and ciders, great choices and they were all yummy. The ribs, brisket, and pulled pork smoked over 22 hours along with daily made fresh sides were delicious and I can't wait to come back again. Our sever Ashlynn was great and was a nice compliment to the meal, very welcoming and much appreciated. So good!!! read more

My family and I always make Bobby Q our first choice for barbecue because it's really that good! The food portions are generous, and you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. We request Ashlynn as our server every time we go because she does such a fantastic job! read more

Always been a fan of Bobby Qs but I was happy to hear that they opened this Mesa location. I personally think this location is better just because there isn't dance club attached to it like the Phoenix location. Still has the same great quality and service. Our server Garrett did a great job! read more

I have heard so many good things about Bobby Q's! The food, service and atmosphere was absolutely great! I highly recommend this place if you want some delicious BBQ!! And definitely get the mac n' cheese! read more

We were visiting from out of town and found Bobby-Q on Yelp. We are always up for a good BBQ joint so we opted to have date night here while the rest of our group went to a chain nearby...they sure missed out! We had a fantastic meal. The brisket is very tender and moist and our sides were some of the best we have had in a while. Particularly the mac n cheese was so creamy and cheesy. Our server was a gem, the manager was walking around to all the tables checking in on diners and the vibe was great. The ambiance of the restaurant is hip but understated and not trying too hard. There are some really neat design elements including the Bobby-Q pick up truck parked in the parking lot. We split a sandwich and sides so ended up ordering apple cobbler, definitely a winner. To top it off, they give you mini cinnamon sugar donuts with your check. So extra! read more

Amazing! My family of 4 split the Whole Hog Heaven- baby back ribs, brisket, chicken, mashed potatoes, Mac & cheese & ranch beans. EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING! read more

One of a kind for Mesa/Chandler. Really awesome atmosphere, from the intimate patio to the social lounge to the bar and restaurant this place is the spot no matter your mood. The menu is not just BBQ...it is insanely delicious BBQ. And also includes amazing sandwiches, steaks and starters. Love this place for dinner or just to stop in for drinks!!! read more

Another great dinner. So many great selections to choose from. Joe A provided wonderful friendly service. Quite satisfied once again.

Great food, had the two meat combo. brisket and cornbread are excellent. Mashed potatoes and roasted corn are great as well. Highly recommend. read more

The best BBQ in town. Didn't realize they had this location. Extremely glad we found it. It's better than the Glendale location. They did a great job accommodating our party of 9. Left stuffed as usual. Try the Q-rolls, they are to die for. read more

After hearing about Bobby Qs from a few friends of mine my girlfriend and I decided to give it a try. I made a reservation here on Yelp, when we got there the place was packed but they had an empty booth ready for us 20 minutes before our time!! The staff was very friendly and gave good recommendations, we will definitely be back soon! The staff were all very nice and gave us recommendations! read more

Hubs read reviews about this place and we headed here for dinner one day. We were not disappointed - the food was great! We ordered the Hog Heaven - soooo much food which was good value for the price. We'll definitely be back here again. read more

First time trying BBQ in AZ. Overall, very good but not memorable ribs, brisket or sausage. Main issue was over cooked- not 'well done' over cooked but soft and mushy over cooked. For example, you couldn't pick up a rib by the bone, the meat just fell off. Having said that, great flavor to the meat, and loved the sauce. The high point were the cocktails which were outstanding! These were not your typical run of the mill adult beverages. Overall, not sure if this was an off night for the meat, but would give this place a second try when in the area. read more

Had a great lunch here while driving through! Service was amazing along with the brisket, definitely recommend this place

I had a steak. It was good. Not so good to where I give up Texas Roadhouse. The BBQ is the best I have ever had. It's just a little pricey.

Becky is a phenomenal waitress and gave us great service: our food came quickly, she was friendly and, most importantly, the food was staggeringly tasty! She also gave us complimentary donuts and cake for our anniversary. Make sure to try the Q-rolls! We will be returning! read more

Shout out to Nate, Asst. G.M. for his amazing efforts to make it right when GrubHub refused! Thank you, Nate, and you have a lifelong customer because of your kindness! read more

I can tell this place is going to stick around and do well! Unbelievable service, our bartender Savannah was amazing! I had the Sliced BBQ Prime Beef Brisket, it was to die for. So much flavor and so tender! No wonder this place is in the top one hundred restaurants to try on Yelp! If you haven't been to Bobby Q's right now, get there asap! read more

Awesome place for dinner and drinks. This place is a must for anyone visiting Phoenix. The place is decorated very neat. Be sure to make reservations or you will even have to wait on a week night. Leave room for the free donuts. read more

Bobby Q - Mesa - New American Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

This place is delicious!!! We have been here a few times since they opened. The restaurant is later out nice with lots of seating. I like the seating that they have outside but looks like its inside as well (covered patio seating) all of the waiters/waitresses have been nice and well taken care of. The food is so good, great smokey bbq taste. My husband and I will continue to come here on the regular! read more

A real dining experience. A beautiful place, excellent food, we are a fan.

Went last night with friends and as always the food and service was stellar! However, I do have one complaint, in Phoenix when it's over 100 degrees you should ask your guest if they would like to be seated on the patio. We checked in and we're told it would be 35-45 mins, never were we asked if we wanted to sit inside or out. I would have chosen inside given an option. Also, our table on the patio was at the edge of the patio and just out of reach of the one mister system they had, so it was warm, very warm. read more
