Stopped here while traveling!! Will definitely be coming back! Service was amazing and food was spectacular! Husband and I both had the 3 meat plates. He had the St. Louis ribs, pulled pork and brisket. I had the sausage, brisket and beef rib!! Delicious!!!!! Corn bread was great! I got a side of the mushrooms and they were to die for!! We also were able to take our dog because they had a dog friendly patio. We're also given a few scraps for our dog which he loved!!! We can't wait to stop by again on our way through town.

Lunch Nachos with Pulled Chicken

Love Bobby Q! I only come every couple years or so but it's always so good. I usually do some chicken or the bbq chicken salad but today I indulged in the nachos. I got the lunch sized nacho as it was only 9.50 plus 3.50 for the pulled chicken. Sydney recommended it and it was a great choice. Tons of meat for that price and tons of food for the lunch sized portion. On top of that you get their amazing corn bread muffins and the cinnamon sugar mini donuts on the house. Tons of good food for the price and great service. The ambiance is a typical bbq joint but it's a big place and in good shape. Make sure you go if you haven't :) They have really good drink options too. Also, they cater and have some event space too.

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.

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!

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.

I was skeptical at first but it was good, im not gonna lie. Now with their Mac and cheese they should just "stop it". Thanks all I'm gonna say. Otherwise this place and service is stellar.

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!

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.

Sliced Beef Brisket, Mac n Cheese, Buttered Brocoli

2nd time coming here, the food is so delicious. I love a good brisket. Mac n Cheese is also very good, very creamy. Texas twinkies are a great appetizer, jalapeños filled with cream cheese and brisket, wrapped in bacon. They also give you complimentary cornbread with butter and when you check out mini sugar donuts. FYI, I could not finish my plate because of how full I was lol. Ambiance is very nice with dimmed lighting, no harsh lighting like other restaurants. Had a great experience with our waiter Dylan.

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.

What is the difference between your 2 dining areas at the Phoenix location? When making a reservation, I have two options to pick from: dining room or saguaro dining room....what is the difference?

Does this restaurant have a dress code?

Not really but dress accordingly

Does Bobby Q have a sports bar area to watch football games?

Yes

What does not have bbq sauce on it, besides the salad?

You can always ask for the bbq sauce on the side.

Which one is the best Beef, baby back or St Louis ribs?

The baby back were the best. All were great but those were my favorite.

Is the restaurant open for dine-in service on Christmas Day 2021 and if so, what are the hours?

They are closed Christmas Day.

Are beef ribs on their menu?

Yes my wife had them she said they were good!

Is the cornbread gluten free by any chance?

Does Bobby Q still have the social bar at this location and if so when do they close?

Yes

Is the Whole Hog Heaven too much for two persons?

Of course that depends on your appetite. The menu alluded to it being possibly eaten by just one person but that would be either a very hungry and/or large person. My wife and I were full and still had some to give to our 2 teenage sons and even… 

Kirsten was an amazing server. Ask for her if you ever come to this amazing restaurant. The fooooood is excellent and come hungry?

Lol it wants to to answer ur question yessss come hungry !!! Fast all day so you can eat

What did they do to the bbq sauce? We recently ordered take-out and both sauces were waaay sweeter than it used to be.

We've developed favorites in several cities, particularly when it comes to authentic Texas-style BBQ. Since moving to Arizona, we've enjoyed exploring the local BBQ scene, including Little Miss BBQ. However, after our first visit to Caldwell County BBQ, we can confidently say we've found our new local favorite! From the moment we walked through the door, the experience was exceptional. We were greeted by Mason, who immediately made us feel welcome. When he learned it was our first visit, he took the time to explain the ordering process, describe the different meats, and share his personal recommendations. Even as the line grew behind us, he never made us feel rushed. He treated us as though we were the only guests there. Mason offered samples of the beef rib, brisket, and sausage, all of which were outstanding. He genuinely wanted us to experience the flavors before ordering. He explained that everything is served à la carte and prepared fresh daily. His enthusiasm was especially noticeable when describing the banana pudding, made fresh at 5 a.m. with bananas, homemade custard, and smoked vanilla beans. That attention to detail immediately impressed us. We ordered a pound of brisket, pulled pork and brisket sliders, green chile mac and cheese, corn casserole, pinto beans, and two absolutely massive beef ribs served with house-made chimichurri. The beef ribs were phenomenal! Incredibly tender, flavorful, and slightly sweeter than the brisket, they were easily among the best we've ever had. The chimichurri was equally impressive, bursting with fresh herbs and peppers. We honestly could have put it on everything! The green chile mac and cheese was creamy and cheesy, with just enough chile flavor without overwhelming heat. The corn casserole was rich, thick, and buttery, while the pinto beans were perfectly tender with a subtle smokiness that wasn't buried under excessive seasoning. The brisket had beautiful bark, exceptional flavor, and was incredibly juicy without relying on excessive fat. The sliders, served on salted pretzel buns, may have been small enough to fit in your palm, but they were generously packed with meat. Don't underestimate them! For dessert, we enjoyed the banana pudding and sheet cake. The pudding was perfectly balanced without being overly sweet. Learning that the vanilla beans are smoked and the wafers are buttered, baked, and layered into the pudding made us appreciate it even more. The sheet cake featured a tender layer of cake topped with rich fudge frosting and walnuts. Both were a wonderful ending to an incredible meal. But as exceptional as the food was, what truly set Caldwell County apart was the hospitality. Mason made a point to check on us during our meal, genuinely interested in hearing about our experience. That simple gesture meant a great deal. Throughout our visit, it was obvious that the entire team takes tremendous pride not only in the quality of their food but also in how they treat their guests. There is a meaningful difference between serving customers and making people feel genuinely valued. Caldwell County understands that difference. Every interaction felt personal, sincere, and unhurried. We never felt like another transaction or simply the next people in line. We felt appreciated, and that is something we'll remember long after the meal. In fact, before we had even finished eating, we were already telling family, friends, and fellow BBQ enthusiasts about our experience! Having enjoyed BBQ throughout the country, we can confidently place Caldwell County among our absolute favorites. The quality, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality make this restaurant something special. We're already looking forward to returning next week with friends visiting from out of town. We sincerely hope Mason is there because we'd love for them to experience the same exceptional hospitality we received. To Mason and the entire Caldwell County team: Thank you for reminding us what genuine hospitality looks like. You've gained loyal customers, and we couldn't be happier to have discovered you here in Arizona! If we could give you a 20 out of 10, we absolutely would. Outstanding in every way!

The intensity of the smoke flavor is sharp and woody. Everything you try is tender, with the fat rendered perfectly--you will completely clean your plate. I was never a brisket person and this was clearly the best I had ever had. It is, at worst, a top 3 pulled pork I've tried. And those jalapeno grits? Divine. Yes, seating is cramped. Yes, you might wait in line outside in the heat when you weren't expecting a rush. Go anyway--this place can't be missed.

The concept is simple: order your meat by the pound, pick your sides, grab a dessert, and snag a beer, specialty soda, or fountain drink on your way to the register.

I can grab as much white bread as I want, refill my own drink, never have to flag someone down for napkins, and I've had some great conversations with other patrons. The brisket is consistently good, and I always order it moist. The jalapeño cheddar sausage is another favorite, but the baked beans deserve their own mention. They're loaded with bits of shredded pork that add both texture and smoky flavor, making them one of the better barbecue sides around. Rudy's is one of those chains that doesn't feel like a chain. The focus is on the meat, and it shows. It delivers the consistency you'd expect from a larger operation while still feeling like a neighborhood barbecue joint. That's not an easy balance to strike, but Rudy's pulls it off.

Eric's Family BBQ absolutely blew me away! This was easily some of the BEST BBQ I've ever had, and…read moreI'm still thinking about this meal! We ordered the ribs, brisket, mac & cheese, elote, and jalapeño cheddar sausage, and honestly... EVERYTHING was a 100/10! Every single bite was packed with so much flavor, and you could really taste the care that went into the cooking. The ribs were incredibly juicy and tender, with that delicious smoky BBQ flavor and the perfect amount of seasoning. The brisket was another standout--so flavorful, tender, and juicy, with that beautiful smoky flavor you hope for when you're craving authentic BBQ. And the jalapeño cheddar sausage?! The combination of the savory sausage, little kick of jalapeño, and creamy cheddar was SO good! The mac & cheese was rich, creamy, and comforting--the perfect side to balance all that smoky goodness. The elote was also a favorite, loaded with flavor and the perfect little sweet-and-savory element alongside the BBQ. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Nothing was dry, bland, or lacking seasoning. You can tell they know their way around a smoker because every bite had that delicious depth of flavor I look for in great BBQ. 100/10 would absolutely order this again! If you're a BBQ lover, Eric's Family BBQ needs to be on your list. This meal seriously exceeded my expectations, and I can't wait to come back and try even more!
