    Sometimes the national hype of a place can lead you to believe a place isn't worth your time. I know most of us want that small mom and pop place support local and that's a great aspiration to have, keep supporting local and small business. Just don't forget about consistent great places either they need our support as well. Wife and I wanted to sneak out for a quick date night on HH and hadn't had BBQ in a while so I suggested Bobby Q's. Plenty of seating as this place is huge but especially in the bar area where happy hour runs to 6pm. Ordered a few drinks from Kat and a plate to split. The food was promptly served and the drinks were delicious. Portions were plenty to split and enjoy some time hanging out away from our busy schedules for about an hour with no rush from the staff. Perfectly seasoned and cooked prime rib delicious twice baked potato and broccoli. As always enjoy the small but the staples need us to support them as well otherwise they'll disappear and when there this good it's worth it.

    This place is so cool! I actually didn't really have high expectations, but it was way better than I thought and I was surprised how everyone was so friendly. Also their price was reasonable as their plate is HUGE. The portion is like so big, well I loved it haha Their brisket was like melt in my mouth. I got smoked chicken wings, and they were soooo yummy, I'd get chicken wings again!

    I was excited to try Bobby Q with an average 4.5 star rating and 5k+ reviews. Four of us had lunch here on Friday and were able to take advantage of the lunch menu they offer on weekdays from 11-3. During lunch, they also offer the full dining menu. We started off with the famous Q rolls: the meat was salty but the "roll" wrapping was light and crispy. I liked it paired with the chipotle ranch which added a creamy kick and balanced it out. Bob's salad (small) was a good portion size and easily shareable. There was a generous amount of chopped chicken breast but it was dry. The rib tips were also dry, stringy and salty. Not a lot of meat on those. The St. Louis spare ribs (really meaty!) were a lot more moist, but were salty as well. Fries also super salty. The side of corn was ok and so was the pecan coleslaw. Very good, attentive and knowledgeable service though. We were educated on St Louis vs baby back ribs! The complimentary cornbread and mini donuts were the highlight for us. Yum!

    Hayden our Server is so pleasant and efficient, just a pleasure to have her as our Server, made the dining experience memorable. Had the Friday Night Fish (COD) Fry, marvelous.

    They advertise themselves as being the world's best bbq. I'm not sure how that happened or if it ever did. I love bbq and I have sampled bbq at a lot of places so I feel my opinion comes from experience. I realize that opinions can be subjective because of different tastebuds and preferences. The building is nice and there is ample parking. We were greeted as we walked in and seated almost as quickly. Our server was very nice and didn't hurry us while we perused the menu. Two of us ordered brisket sandwiches and one in our party ordered a pulled pork sandwich. The brisket for me was rather dry and the other person in our party who ordered thought his was more moist. The one sauce they provided wasn't to my liking. I found out later that my server should have offered another sauce option but failed to do so. So I ate a dry beef brisket sandwich with no sauce. Everyone agreed that it was average bbq and unanimously we agreed the prices were too high. With higher prices comes higher expectations for quality and or quantity. It was a nice place, very noisy, service was good, food was average and prices were high. I have eaten at 5 bbq restaurants in the Phoenix metro area and in my humble opinion this would be ranked 5th of those 5 spots in food quality but highest in price. I won't be returning unless someone invites me and spends their money.

    Been there for two times and still love it. Their meat quality was good and grilled every well. I also liked there complimentary corn bread, outside was crispy and so soft on the inside. The cold slaw was also the best I've ever had, refreshing and pecan on top added the nutty flavor to it. The potato salad was also a must try. The servers there were kind and friendly. I also liked the atmosphere in side the restaurant, good place for family and friends gathering.

    My college baseball teammates and I are making it a tradition to do a reunion trip to Phoenix every year for Spring Training, and Bobby Q's is firmly a part of that tradition. Been here back to back years now and it has not disappointed one bit! We make a reservation in advance for our big party of 12-14 and the wait staff handles us exceptionally well. Big tables to accommodate all of us, efficient order taking and delivery, and always on top of their game with the complimentary goodies (cornbread, donuts for dessert, and two free brownies + ice cream for the two birthday boys)! And the restaurant ambiance is really great; a cross between a ranch house and an upscale restaurant, with sports games playing on all of the TV's above the bar. Always great vibes! - Two meat combo: Baby back ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender and the brisket just melts in your mouth. Both bursting with smoky goodness. And you can't go wrong with any of their sides: I got BBQ beans and mashed potatoes this time, but their Mac & cheese is also killer. - Cornbread: unlimited refills, some of the best cornbread I've had in my opinion. Very soft, buttery, and surprisingly light.

    Food: Visiting my sister and decided to try Bobby Qs. I found the food to be ok. I'd give it a 7/10. I ordered the Tri Tip which tasted like it had been baked in an oven and maybe smoked afterwards to add a little of the smoke flavor but definitely to cooked on a real BBQ grill. The mac and cheese tasted like garden variety boxed mac and cheese and kinda hard to mess up the mashed potatoes. Think every fast food BBQ place you have ever visited. They are ok if you are not a foodie and your thoughts of food are "fills a hole" but if you are a real food and looking for authentic BBQ then this is not for you. However, what wasnt a miss was the nice free bite sized doughnuts they served at the end of the meal for free. They were great and it was a nice touch. Ambiance: Nice ambiance. Beautifully decorated. The place had the familiar pleasant smell of smoked meats but unfortunately, I smelled more than I tasted. Service: The service was excellent. My server was very helpful, professional and pleasant. We were seated quickly and the food was served pretty quickly as well. Parking: Great parking options Overall: Loved the service, the ambiance was nice and the food was ok.

    This place delivers what it advertises!! BBQ, done in many ways and all done well. This is not a 5 star fine dining place, but a down home BBQ and bar with lots of atmosphere and flavor. The servers are all quick and serve with happy smiles. I wouldn't drive far to go here, but it is definitely worth a side trip if you are in the area.

    Same burgers only my friend's plate had a baked potato for his side.

    Service was Fast and Friendly, no wait time for 2, Sunday at 115pm, I was told prior to coming by a friend that at that time there would be no wait and she was right. We ordered their Smokehouse Burger with Mac and Cheese as our side! 10/10 for sure! I would definitely order this again, I forgot to mention, they start you off with their corn bread, which was a great little appetizer while we waited for our food. The place has great lighting it's not too bright.

    For starters, the location I went to has somewhat of an odd location. It borders I-17, but you the parking lot is really in the back off 27th Ave. The ambiance is pretty good. Open space, good smell of smoked meats in the place. The service was fast and friendly and you get free doughnuts are the end of your meal. My meal was kind of hit and miss. The Q rolls (akin to brisket stuffed eggrolls with dipping sauce) are pretty tasty, the cornbread with butter is also good, and the Mac and cheese was good as well. My brisket sandwich was mediocre. The brisket itself was very thinly sliced and somewhat mashed today. Also, it was mushy. Not sure what caused that. Overall, the service was good, most of the food was pretty good, but brisket (which should have been the star of the show) was underwhelming. Your mileage may vary...

    Three 3 Meat Combo Platter Ribs, Brisket, Pulled Pork
    Clem M.

    Decided to try Bobby-Qs for Dinner. I got the wood fired top sirloin medium with coleslaw and Mac & Cheese. The steak came out pretty rare. They took it back and comped us the Butter Cake. My Fabulous Wife got the 3 meat combo. We basically shared this while my steak was cooking. The baby back ribs were fall off the bone. They were delicious. Would Like a little leaner and the silver skin removed, but was good. The brisket was lean, tender, melt in your mouth party. So freaking tasty. Amazing. The pulled pork was just ok. I loved the Mac & Cheese and Coleslaw. The steak showed up, but was too full. Had to take it to go. They comped the butter cake which was absolutely phenomenal and decadent. The service was superb and would definitely return.
