We decided to try Bobby Q's for the first time and what made our experience so memorable and exceptional was our server Alex! He guided us through the menu and helped us order amazing food and drinks. We would absolutely not only for the food but also the service! If you are looking for amazing service ask for Alex E. as your server!! read more

AMAZING! Highly recommend this place. The beef brisket sandwich is delicious. The brisket melts in your mouth. They make their cornbread perfect. The Mac and cheese was so cheesy and delicious. The service there is excellent. And the donuts they give you at the end are just the icing on the cake. I can't say enough good things about this place. I will definitely be back! read more

My daughter heard Bobby Q had the best lemonade and I love BBQ so we thought we would give it a try for lunch. Parking lot was packed so expected to wait for a table, but they got us right in. Hostess and waiter were both friendly and our drink order was handled quickly. Lemonade lived up to the hype! We both had the pork sandwich and shoestring fries and they were excellent. Also liked the pre-meal cornbread and the bag of little donuts they gave us. The manager (lady with blue vest and blonde hair) was a rockstar as I could see her constantly working the room and making sure customers were taken care of. read more

Went on a Tuesday so there wouldn't be a lot of people. Food was very good and we definitely enjoyed the lounge area!

One of the absolute best BBQ spots in Arizona right now.

My husband and I sat at the bar, met a group from Hawaii who were so fun. And Dimitri (sp?) was our bartender. He was the most engaging and pleasant bartender we have ever had. (All the staff was great) Food was amazing. We were comfortable, didn't want to leave. We are so glad we came in to check it out. (Just moved here from Boston.) And we will be back again and again. Thank you all so much! Keep up the good work. 3/6/17. read more

Thoroughly enjoyed lunch here. My wife and I shared a full rack of baby back ribs . Super tender and good flavor without a lot of fat. The sauce that came on the ribs was ok, but I preferred the side of Carolina style sauce (vinegar based). Great atmosphere, nice vibe without being loud. Service was outstanding. Our waiter, Garrett, was fantastic and took great care of us. Will be back to try the St Louis style ribs and the piled pork. read more

Everytime I eat here it's amazing. I'm glad they finally came to Mesa.. closer but just as amazing. This place rocks.. the food and service is top notch. read more

Jennifer was our waitress food was a little pricey but it was very very good we will be back I don't mind paying a decent amount of money for great waitress and great food I will tell my friends about it and I definitely will be back again thank you thank you read more

4.5 Stars This restaurant is ah may zing! We just went yesterday, so a Sunday afternoon around 2pm. We were greeted immediately and seated. Staff was great, pleasant and informative. We asked to be seated outside on the patio because we felt like it reminded us of Louisiana with the brick and plants. The only thing about the patio was the black cushion on the bench was quite dirty. This was a great time to go, not very many customers, although patio was packed. Both the hostess and waitress told us about the food, the smoke process and Sunday special, which we got. Drinks came quickly. Food also came pretty quick, which considering it is already cooked,we expected, but the speed still surprised us. Cornbread cakes were complimentary, I actually didn't like them. They were super airy on inside and greasy browned on outside, I prefer a more cake like or dense cornbread. My husband liked the cornbread though. The Sunday special says it feeds 2-3, but it could feed 4 adults with just the meat, but the size of sides can feed 2 adults and 2 kids or 3 adults pretty well. The brisket and ribs were both our favorites! Meat was fall apart and fall off the bone, really well seasoned and sauced, fantastic! And the 3 sauces, regular, spicy and a vinegar based were all super yummy, except the vinegar one was not a preferred choice for us, but still had lots of flavor. The pulled pork is also quite good, but I like mine to have crispy edges/pieces this was all very soft. The chicken, well it was okay but we won't order it again. Although cooked well, after you remove skin not much flavor underneath. Update: We had the leftover chicken the following day, and we could really taste the smoke flavor in the meat, vs. at the restaurant we could not. The chicken is upgraded and made good leftovers. The ribs and brisket will be our next order. For our sides, we got the pecan slaw, which is a sweet, mayo based slaw with some fresh pecans on top. We actually liked it more after we got home. For some reason, you could taste it better and it seemed to have a slight smoke flavor to it. The mac n cheese was creamy and delicious and we gobbled that whole side while we were there. Our waitress was on top of everything and attentive. If you get a to-go box for coleslaw, don't use white foam containers. Somehow it leaks out. At the end when you are super full, they bring you donuts. Freshly fried, warm,greasy sweet donuts. So full, so very full but happy belly. read more

We loved the food, and the service was great! Daisy was our server. She was friendly and very knowledgeable about the food. She made some great recommendations, (this was our first time eating at Bobby Q's) and we enjoyed it all. The cornbread was outstanding, as well as the ribs, pulled pork and brisket. Would also recommend the "loaded" mashed potatoes and the sautéed onions and mushrooms. All of the employees were great and made us feel welcome. Will definitely eat here again! read more

Though reading the good reviews on Yelp we decided with anticipation to try this place. Sunday night so not crowded. Service was good but the food was a complete disappointment. Our son got the brisket sandwich but the coleslaw was dry and had a few pecan pieces sprinkled on top. I had the 'jumbo baked potato' with chicken and what I got was about a 4" long regular baked potato with maybe 2 ounces of chicken on it. It was good but for $13 I should have gotten two of them at least or a potato like they serve at Joe's in Gilbert (what I was expecting and with 4 oz of meat is $11). Wife got the catfish and ate only one piece because she thought it tasted funny. She had potato salad as a side - large scoop but it had no flavor at all. They gave us mini donuts at the end. I did not have one but both son and wife said they were a bit under cooked. The cornbread given as an appetizer was the best thing we ate. No drinks and the bill minus tip was $52.00. Anyway about an hour after we got home my wife vomited - she was fine all day so we think the catfish was spoiled. HIGH PRICED - BAD FOOD - SMALL PORTIONS - VERY DISAPOINTING. We will not be back.... read more

I used to love the food and the friendly service I received from this establishment, until I made a grub hub order placed specifically for 5pm for a quick pick up. I was horrified to be notified that my order of $60 had been thrown out because the staff wrongly believed my order was meant to be picked up at 3pm (which is when the order was placed) I received no phone call to see my location or estimated time of arrival just a whole hog combo wasted and thrown into the trash. Instead of apologizing for my inconvenience or making any attempt at ratification the staff desperately looked for a weight to accuse me for either placing the order wrong, ordering through grub hub, and even called my number as I stood in front of her to check if the number was right! Which my phone rang so clearly it was and I was not the one at fault. No apology just silent standing, and avoidance of eye contact as they continued to forget my complimented donuts.......I have never wasted so much time at an establishment if I hadn't already paid I would've walked out perhapsnif the staff worked half as hard ensuring I received my order as they did trying to place the blame on me my order would've been fine. read more

Went out to eat at one of our favorite places in Mesa - Bobby Q. Love the Q rolls and chicken, ribs and steak. Found out rather quickly that things are off from normal. No pleasant hostesses greeting us as we arrived for our reservation. The menu has shrunk and bland. Waite staff was substandard for Bobby Q excellence. Several levels below their past service. Q rolls were over cooked, greasy. Main course took 45 minutes to get to the table. Waiter kept telling us just a few more minutes. Wifes' steak was undercooked and not medium well and a big fat portion on the steak. Waite staff did not come over and ask if it was as requested. She didn't want to bother asking to send it back and waiting any longer. No donuts to take home with you! What's with that? And no explanation why it was not offered? Was that a Covid thing? Well, that was our experience for our 40th wedding anniversary dinner. I know things are challenging right now but I was hoping for a memorable night but no dice! read more

Thank you you're awesome Becky thank you the food was good the service was excellent! Atmosphere was delightful! Do you want to see if he would read more

Great food and affordable prices. This place has some awesome barbecue and great lunch specials.

Very good bbq, atmosphere and service. My mother and I split the Q Rolls and a 2 meat platter with St Louis ribs, chicken, Mac n cheese and fries. Only turn off was we only received one bag of 4 donuts for her and I to split, when we said we live separately we were given a empty bag. Just seemed for the price of the meal they could spare us a couple donuts....just saying. read more

I am so happy to have this place near me! We were surprising amazed with the food! Tastes great! The meat dishes are cooked just right every time. Definitely Louisiana style with a great atmosphere. Love the furniture and service. However, I can't provide a 5 star because we were a little disappointed on our last service due to the lack of knowledge on the dishes which I would have felt better had he taken the initiative to find out the answer. He kind of dissappeared for awhile leaving us having to wave someone down for the check. Hopefully this will be helpful to make adjustments and it's so important for your customers. Otherwise,great place! We enjoy it! read more

Still excellent. The place is beautiful and huge, but we sat and ate at the bar and got great recommendations from the bartender, including a filet mignon for $11.00 which my wife jumped at... it was cooked precisely to order and was extremely tender and delicious! Their baked beans are St. Louis style and really tasty. A very nice selection of beer and drinks, really quality and right-on BBQ (meaning smoked!), and quick and very friendly service. And of course the donuts at the end of each meal. One of the few places on our "go-to" list because it's consistently a good time and great food. It can get a little pricey but we usually get there during happy hour which provides a variety of tasty and filling options for a very reasonable price. read more

This was our first time here. The spinach dip was okay but the garlic bread that accompanied it was awesome. My husband and son shared the Ribeye Steak. They said it was delicious, tender and cooked exactly like they requested. My other son and I had the Classic Hamburger. Best burger EVER hands down. Was simple without any bells or whistles, perfectly cooked, juicy and enough for 2. Austin, our waiter was AMAZING...attentive and personable. He even brought the kids an extra bag of donuts before we left. Overall the perfect dinner. Will definitely be back! read more

While the food is good and the service we had was fine the manager completely ignored the problem that we had. They squeezed a table of 10 that was originally set for eight near us in a tight area and the other waiters kept bumping into our chairs and when I complained about it the manager really didn't have much to say. I was with my wife and daughters celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary and it really put a crimp in the evening. Unfortunately I think it will be a while before we ever go back which is really disappointing. read more

Love the happy hour selection both food and drinks. Not a 5 star because the Happy Hour should be extended to include Saturdays.

Finally got around to trying this place. It was very well appointed though the tables were a little small. Service was fairly attentive. The warm cornbread was good. Ordered the 2 meat item with St Louis ribs and brisket with beans and fries. I wish I could rave about this meal. It was not good. The ribs and the meat were so salty that it was hard to taste anything else. I have never had a saltier smoked meat in my life. I never touched the salt shaker, it came this way. It ruined the meal. I forced my way thru the ribs and completely gave up on the brisket after 2 bites. So 2 stars for the service and 1 for the atmosphere. However, the food got 0 stars. To be fair, I did see many people ordering steaks instead of smoked meats. Guessing the steaks are a better choice here. read more

We had a hankerin' for bbq so thought we'd try this one out since it is their specialty. We sat at the bar and were mostly ignored. Also, not a variety of good selections of craft beers. The food was just okay - my ribs were very dry and mealy. The couple that sat next to us had a gift card that they gave the remaining balance to us because they said they would not be returning. We will also not be returning, read more

My boyfriend and I visit Bobby Q every time we come to Arizona, this place is amazing and has excellent food excellent service. Our waitress Olga was great!! She's friendly and was on top of the refills. Thanks again and we will be back soon! read more

Yum! Bobby Q was a fantastic dinner spot. My favorite part was the cornbread, so good! We ate in one of the beautiful outdoor areas and really enjoyed the atmosphere. The food was delicious, steak was cooked to perfection and all of the sides were tasty too! The sweetest surprise was a fresh hot bag of donut holes at the end of our meal! read more

This place is the best bbq I've had in Arizona, no place compares. From the beef brisket to the bbq chicken, even the sides, I have no complaints. Every time I go the food NEVER disappoints, it's always hot and no matter how many seats are filled you get your meal in a timely manner. The staff is always super inviting and fun to converse with. Also after your meal when leaving out you get complementary SUPER FRESH cinnamon sugar donuts. I recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and service. read more

Great service from the minute we walked in. Our bartender was excellent while we waited for our daughter and then our server, Morgan was top notch. There was a mistake with our daughter's dinner which the manager immediately came over to address. She is a young adult and was fine to eat it as it came out but he was very happy/accommodating to bring her what she ordered quickly and we were in no rush. Morgan also brought us a dessert to go on the house since we were stuffed after a fantastic meal! After we paid the bill my husband noticed we had been charged twice for our daughter's meal so asked Morgan to change it. The manager comped our entire check which was not necessary but very nice. They were so nice, professional and on their game. We never had to ask for anything because they anticipated everything. This is how every experience should be! read more

Yum!!! We went for the first time and had the ribs and they truly were fall-off-the-bone delicious! We will definitely be back!!!

Amazing BBQ that won't break the bank! There's nothing I haven't liked in the times I've eaten here. From the cornbread appetizers to the main course to the bag of mini donuts on the way out the door, this is a great place for larger gatherings or just a night out. Will definitely be back! read more

This place was better than expected! I ordered the brisket and pulled pork. The selection of bbq sauces is really good and don't forget the meal ending donuts. read more

Great service, really cool location, and AWESOME food! I liked this place a lot - first time here, environment is fun, staff friendly, and our server Fabiola recommended some delicious menu items. If you're in the area looking for some good barbecue I strongly recommend it read more

The food is great they have this thing that makes churro donuts and they are so fresh and fluffy and there food is just great

Service is good, meat quality isn't as good as Rudy's or Joes, portions are larger though. I do love the doughnuts they give you at the end which pushes this from a 3 star to a 4 star read more

This is the best barbecue restaurant that I've tried here in Arizona. Everything we've tried has been amazing. I loved the pulled pork, the ribs, the cornbread the drinks, the mac and cheese lol the list goes on. It's hard to find truly good bbq and I'm so glad there is finally an awesome bbq restaurant near me when I'm craving some yummy comfort food. I just try not to eat too much during the day if I know I'm going here so I can pig out! read more

I love this place. The management is unbelievable. They are always kind and considerate! If you have even a slight problem, they are quick to fix it. The food is amazing and the atmosphere fits the style of the place perfectly. We sat on the patio at dinner time and the mister fan was great with keeping us cool! read more

Love this place! Great food and very nice servers. The brisket is amazing and the robes is a must. One of my favorite places for BBQ!

This place has great food, friendly service, and an awesome atmosphere. I took a date here and we had a great time and are definitely coming back! read more

One of the places we were looking forward to on our trip to Arizona. We had been here before. Arrived at 745 on a Saturday night, told wait was about 30 minutes for 6 of us. We were seated in about twenty. Our server, Heather was great with us, helped us out with one gluten free and one peanut allergy. She was prompt and attentive and went well beyond her call of duty. The only drawback was the brisket seemed a little tougher than other brisket. Would definitely be back! read more
