We recently went there to celebrate a birthday. The beef brisket melts in your mouth. The roasted corn was delicious and the other barbecued meats (chicken, baby backs and beef ribs) were simply the best. The desserts were very good too. The only downside was I lapsed into a food coma. Our waiter Jason went above and beyond great customer service. read more

My buddy and I were looking for a place close to my house for lunch and found BobbyQs on yelp. Great food and outstanding service. They are the best bbq I've found around here and we will definitely be going back soon. Highly reopens the sample platter! read more

I am beginning to think that the reason I love barbecue restaurants so much is the fact that I ALWAYS get two meals out of one visit. That figures out, on average, to about 7-8 bucks a meal, and you can't really beat that for great food! The husband and I decided to go here on Friday night, and the place was busy, but not so busy that we were able to be immediately seated. Our service was fantastic. I'm beginning to think that restaurants are recognizing our faces from our pictures because this was beyond good service. Our server was super quick and very sweet. Our food came out impossibly fast too. The food was delicious. I ordered the brisket platter, of course, and it was super yummy. I got a big fat helping of tender brisket and two sides. I chose the pecan cole slaw and the mac and cheese. We also got cornbread with our meals. The cornbread is really yummy, but strangely shaped into little disks. The cole slaw was very good, with a great sweet flavor that was enhanced by the crunch of the pecans. The mac and cheese was literally rib-stickin good. It was the super thick and creamy kind that makes me weak in the knees. The barbecue sauce served on the meat is fairly minimal, but they bring you plenty of extra so you don't have to worry. I would definitely come back here. I loved the food, the service and the atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this for good sit down service BBQ. read more

Best BBQ in Phoenix. The ribs, the pulled pork, brisket, it's all awesome. BUT........ the mac & cheese........... it's addictive! The best I have ever had anywhere EVER!! My husband tried to steal a bite once & he nearly lost a digit! The "Thank Q's" at the end of your meal are a cute touch. They do have a full bar in the restaurant, as well as a lounge. If you love BBQ, or even like it just a little bit......... you have to check this place out! read more

In Arizona some b&)tchen BBQ!!!! Saw the place on the fwy and jumped off to find the place... Place if huge! If u mis this place please get ur eyes checked!

Three choices of meet and one side .. I ordered ribs, brisket and pulled pork..pulled pork cooks for 12+hrs .. Was good just a little to mushy for me.. Brisket was over the top for me! YUMMY!! Now the ribs.. I have traveled all over for ribs and this is hands down my favorite! My side was Mac and cheese as a recommendation and I have only had one better than this! I heard people taking about the potatoes behind us and how good they were ... Oh yes did I forget to mention the corn bread! Look don't hesitate to come here! Your palette and ur stomach will love it! read more

Great Q Rolls and the best Prime Rib in Arizona! Jordan is a great and very friendly waiter!

Went to Bobby Q with a work colleague and fellow BBQ enthusiast. We ordered two 3-meat combo plates so that we could try almost everything. All 3 ribs tasted good (baby back, st-louis, beef). I would have hoped for more smoke and more of a rub (we ordered them dry with sauce on the side). Of the three, I think that the St-Louis were the best. We also had brisket, pulled pork and chicken. All three of these need lots of smoke (in my view) to be a success and there just was not enough. The brisket was not sliced and had no barque. It was more of a "pulled" format in small pieces. It tasted a bit dry and lacked smoke. Overall, it's OK but not great. I'm stuck between going with 2 or 3 stars on this because the sides weren't all that fantastic either (mac & cheese, fries, grilled veg, ranch beans). However, it is still decent BBQ if you stick to the right items (ribs). read more

I love the bbq food they have to offer. If it wasn't for their large portions I'd eat every bit. The environment is nice! It's a good place for a date but also a good place to take the kids! Well, I know my kids love it! To this day I have not had any bad experiences. Everyone is so nice and welcoming! I feel good when I arrive and I feel even better when I walk out because I leave feeling content! read more

Caveat Emptor--- If you like REAL BBQ this is not the place for you. The first clue was that the place slathers it's food in sauce as a rule, not an option. I have no idea how they can smoke their meats for up to 22 hours without having any noticeable hint of smoke. And don't tell me that, "it has a smoke ring so it has to be good"(that's just a natural reaction of nitric oxide). The brisket was bland, the beef ribs had essentially no meat, the pork ribs had a little flavor, and the pulled pork was downright appalling and stringy and flavorless. Sides of grilled vegetables were flavorless and bitter. The pecan coleslaw was bland, and the pecan part was just a sprinkle of untoasted pecans sprinkled on top, and the ranch beans were very vinegary (a welcome bit of flavor) I have no idea how this place was voted a best BBQ place in the nation unless it was by a bunch of people that have no tastebuds, in fact, I would rank this as some of the worst I've had in the nation. This place needs to up their game, Phoenix has BBQ that is infinitely better and at half the price. The service was fine, but the management is a bit overbearing. When you need to toot your horn about how good you are to every table when they sit, it really shows that you're not that great, greatness speaks for itself. Bottom line, my family will not return, and will never recommend that anyone else does. Please search out any small local BBQ pit and get some real food with real flavor. read more

Delicious barbecue, we had 4 meats platter that we split with three people. The pulled chicken is amazing, the brisket tender and juicy, the ribs succulent and flavorful, best barbecue around. The sides were delicious as well, mac & cheese was great, mashed potatoes did not disappoint, ranch beans aren't anything special but they tasted good. Service was great, waiter was attentive to our needs and accommodated a last minute switch after already putting in the order. Atmosphere is good, not too noisy/quiet, the lighting could be improved though, a single bulb above the table barely allows you to see what you are eating, though the food wasn't there long enough to be seen:) Highly recommended to someone looking for great barbecue ribs, chicken, brisket, etc. read more

decided to try out this BBQ place while is was in Phoenix for spring training with the family. The place is a bit hard to see from the road, and if you are not careful you will drive right past it. The parking lot is a good size with plenty of parking, provided i was there for an early dinner so this may not be true during peak hours. The entrance to the restaurant is on the side of the building. inside there is a small bar and a nice dinning area. You can see the chickens on the rotisserie in the back, and the smell makes you instantly hungry. We were seated near the back and our waiter (Riley) was quick to greet us and make sure we were doing good. Not knowing what to get Riley made a few suggestions for us to think about before taking out drink orders. Most of us got the Bobby Q Amber Ale and one Strawberry Lemonade. We decided to order the Whole Hog Heaven and a second order of ribs. While we waited for our meal we had some of their fresh complementary corn bread and enjoyed our cold drinks. Food came out in the right amount of time, not too long or too fast. All of the food was delicious and went well with the beer. During our visit the staff was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Drinks never went empty and we had wet naps before we asked. To finish everything off we got free doughnuts at the end. This is one of the best BBQ places i have visited and i will definitely be back during my next visit. read more

I have neutral feelings about BBQ but this place was great. I was dubious as we pulled into the parking lot. I worried we accidentally wandered into a crack den. However, once we found the front door, I was pleasantly surprised. Super cute inside and a nice patio I'd love to visit when it's not 110 degrees outside. The mac n' cheese was fabuloso and our waitress was fantastic. My salad was a little bland but that is my fault for ordering a salad at a BBQ restaurant. My dining companions were super pleased with their plates o' meat. read more

I came here because it was on Yelp's 100 reviewed restaurants in USA. I feel this place does not deserve the hype it receives and the food comes off as glorified food truck distributor food. I was pretty hungry being on the plane all day, so I figured I would order a ton of food. For starters, I ordered the Q Rolls and Cajun Shrimp. Of course I had to try their cornbread they give out for free. I went with two orders of the three meat combo which includes pulled pork, brisket, ribs, sausage, and chicken. The Q Rolls are definitely the few highlights of the meal. They were meaty, greasy, and a satisfying crunch on the outside. The queso dip that comes with it makes it even better. The cajun shrimp were Ok, but Im a dummy thinking arizona is going to have good shrimp. The cornbread was really moist. I was only going to have one bite, but ended up having half of the entire piece. Now for the meats. Dont get me wrong as I highly critisize the meal. This is much better than Rudy's or Dickey's (gross). But I was expecting something on the same line as Lockhart, TX (which I foolishly continue to expect when going to so claimed 'amazing' barbecue joints.) THe ribs were fall of the bone (not my favorite style, although some people like that). The pulled pork was soggy. The brisket had some good points, but the bark was soggy (they probably use foil to speed up the cooking process). The sausage was OK, but nothing special. It certainly could have been spicier. The chicken totally took me by surprise. It was moist, tender, and had a nice smoke to it. Normally I wouldnt order chicken over the usual trinity, but they do a good job. All the meats had this sweet taste to it, and didnt have much of a strong smoke flavor (besides the chicken). The BBQ sauce on the table just added to the sweetness. The sides were all crap, expect the mac and cheese. That was actually pretty good. Everything else lacks any real flavor or craft. For dessert, they gave us some in house donuts. I like the idea of this, but they are arent that spectacular. My friend wanted coffee, even after the waiter said it as horrible. It was probably the most watery coffee Id ever tasted. I know coffee is not something someone should order at a BBQ joint, but at least you know ahead of time. I imagine people who think this place is amazing either eat bbq from dickeys or have never visited Texas. Either way, I wouldnt come back here again on my own time and would advise anyone you can to go to Little Miss BBQ instead. Thats how BBQ should be. read more

Exceptional service once again! Definitely worth the wait. The hostess was very kind and our sever Makenna was phenomenal. She was super kind and attentive and our food was amazing. Makenna recommended the whiskey sunset and my boyfriend loved it. Every time we come back we'll be asking for her! Laura is the manager and we had a great convo with her when she came to check up on us. Very kind and very professional. read more

Never been here before. We had a nice little room off the main dining. For a Tuesday night the place was jumping! Our server was superb. On top of everything. Drinks promptly refilled, making sure our selections were perfect. The appetizers were excellent. We had shrimp in a light BBQ butter, the corn bread muffins hot with warm honey butter, the fish sticks fresh with two dipping sauces and the tortillas and dips were also excellent. Everyone chose off the menu. I had the steak open face on garlic toast and a baked potato. Steak cooked to perfection and tender. I'll be the first to admit not a huge fan of smoked meat but this was good. At the end they have these little bags of tiny donuts that literally are hot and melt in your mouth. read more

If you find yourself in the Phoenix area then Bobby-Q is your BBQ stop! This was my first experience here, but my co-workers ate here 3 out of the 4 nights we were in town! This is not an expensive joint by any means, but it is a "nicer" place than your road side BBQ stand, even nicer than the outer appearance of the building suggests. This building also hosts a trendy night club, which we did not visit. The BBQ here was on point for sure! Everything from the brisket to the pulled pork and even the BBQ egg roll appetizer thingy's (thingy is the technical name) were all tasty and gone before they knew what happened! On top of that the staff and facility were all top notch, helpful and cleanly! read more

6 of us felt like bbq on Labor Day was an appropriate way to officially celebrate the end of our summer but didn't want to deal with the actual hassle of cooking. Bobby Q hit the spot. We started with the hot wings--all drummettes--kind of standard hot wing fare. We all shared the "whole hog" platter which consisted of 2 slabs of ribs and 2 different bbq meats. They ran out of baby back ribs (booooo...) so we got the St. Louis ribs and the beef brisket and sliced bbq pork. All very good stuff. The meat was tender and flavorful. I particularly liked the brisket. The waitress said that the "whole hog" would feed 3-4 people so we ordered the fried catfish as well. I guess she meant 3-4 HUGE people, because it fed 6 of us and we still had leftovers (4 guys and 2 girls). The catfish was also good, not overcooked. We shared 4 sides: mac & cheese, mashed potatoes, grilled veggies, and roasted corn. The sides were quite satisfying, but not outstanding. We all ordered the fresh lemonade as a beverage--good but too sweet so I had ask for unsweetened ice tea to balance it out. Again, we were all too stuffed for dessert. Miss C and I agreed that we would definitely come back and take advantage of their happy hour specials--1/2 off margaritas, doubles for the price of singles, and 1/2 off apps--Tues-Fri from 4-8 pm. read more

We came here to celebrate my cousins birthday tonight, not only was the food wonderful but the service from Bryce E. was even more amazing. Thank you for gong above and beyond! read more

Best BBQ I've had in AZ. I smoke meat every other month or so but love to be treated. Most places smother meats in crappy bbq sauce but they were really light on it and I got to enjoy the meat. I had the brisket and pulled pork. I have to say the brisket was hands done great!! The beans weren't anything special personally. But the corn was good as was the mac and chz and dear god how could I forget!!?? The corn bread! I'm super picky on corn bread but it was awesome! No honey needed! Def a cute set up as well. The little booths around the bar was great. And they have a dance floor at night on the weekends. Awesome place! Highly recommended! read more

Solid food choices, great happy hour beer prices, and lots of room for large groups, Bobby Q's is one great place. I had the 3 meat combo with baby backs, beef ribs, and brisket. Ribs were tender and moist, and the brisket was fall-apart good. My only complaint would be the sweetness of the BBQ sauce, but then they provide you with a spicy option at your table when the food comes out, so problem solved! Bonus, when you check in on Yelp you get a 10% discount off your bill. And props to our server Emmy, who did a great job dealing with 6 wise-ass baseball fans and kept our whole meal running smoothly. I will DEFINITELY be back to Bobby Q's on future visits and I highly recommend it! read more

Great food and service had a great experience and always friendly and welcoming come in hungry

There donuts and corn bread is to die for ! I will just drive sometimes for this items ... there baby back ribs are super juicy and well flavored . I have also experience there night fusion and Ambience and can tell you there drinks are also full of all the good stuff. The martini taste like martini . The beers are nice and cold !!! Great place ... read more

Brisket is ok, sauce is decent and atmosphere is a little hood come 8pm. I dined here over the weekend Bc I was to lazy to fire up my grill (way to humid out) so I went here w/ my bro Rob and was hoping for some goodness. I don't think I'd eat here again since its not my idea flavor/taste of BBQ. Don't let my review steer you away from trying it though, everyone has their own preference when it comes to BBQ so I'd try it and go from there. Official rating, Food: *** Customer service: **** (manager very sweet , waitress was su-lOh!) Drinks: *** (Sangria was ok, beer a little warm) read more

A) this place is open on Sundays which apparently a lot of good lunch spots in Phoenix are not and B) this is one of the best BBQ joints I've ever been to! The BBQ brisket was tender and moist, my bf is from the south and was very impressed with the authentic Carolina BBQ sauce. The service was really above and beyond, at least 3 different staff members came to check up on us and everyone was SO friendly. (A certain resort in Sedona could learn from the people here!). The strawberry lemonade was super sweet and after you've stuffed yourself on delicious, moist BBQ, they give you 4 donuts in a bag with your check. Great idea because a bag of beignets certainly makes paying easier, though the food and service were so good, paying would never be a burden here. If you like BBQ, you MUST come here! We'll be back for sure! read more

First of all, kudos to Bobby Q's staff. Absolutely EVERYONE was super friendly and attentive. I was waited on in some way by at least 5 different members of their team, at least 1 of whom I believe was the manager. Everyone smiled and made eye contact, and they all seemed genuinely concerned that my needs were being met, and that I was getting what I wanted. I was immediately greeted with a smile when I walked in, and smiled at the entire time I was there. I really did experience 5 star service. The ambiance was casual, rustic, and interesting in its own way. The bartender came right over (you guessed it - with a big smile) and when I indicated that I had not been in before, she immediately explained about the lunch menu and the various options in just enough detail. She left me to fill my drink order while I considered my choices. I decided on the Platter Sampler, which allowed me to choose three kinds of meat, a side and cornbread. I figured that this would give me a chance to check out more than 1 item. Of the sides, the roasted corn was the most appealing to my tastes. I also ordered their shoestring fries. I don't have the capacity to consume large amounts of food, but with that long a drive, I wanted to try lots of things, even if I couldn't finish them. A few minutes later, I overheard a couple of gentlemen at the end of the bar ordering meatloaf. Wondering how I had overlooked that, I studied the menu some more, but didn't see meatloaf anywhere. When I asked, the bartender indicated that they periodically have off menu specials. Since I had come so far, I ordered the meatloaf (only $9.99) to go. My food came out very quickly, and there was a lot of it. Portion sizes were generous. I had opted for a combination of Brisket, St. Louis Ribs, and Spicy Smoked Link Sausage. The roasted corn was not corn on the cob, although the dish was topped off with two slices from the end of a roasted ear of corn. The off the cob corn had kernels that looked like they had seen fire. The juice that the corn was in had a good solid smokey flavor to it. I had anticipated and would have preferred roasted corn on the cob. To my personal tastes, it wasn't great, but it also wasn't bad. The shoestring fries were perfectly cooked, thinly cut, skin on, and nicely salted. It was a HUGE order that came out in a little pail. I could have made a whole lunch out of the fries alone! I hardly put a dent in them. Turning to my platter of meat, I was somewhat disappointed overall. There were several slices of brisket. It was extremely moist, almost mushy as if it had been cooked in liquid, and there was no smoke ring. I've lived and eaten all over the country, including Texas and the Carolinas. I have had good smoked brisket, and this bore no resemblance. It was more like pot roast or meat you would find in stew, with no smokey flavor. In fact, the corn had more smokey flavor than my brisket. I would not order the brisket again because I think this must just be the way they have decided to prepare it. Maybe lots of people love it. Maybe they've never had better. I didn't like it. The sliced link sausage was missing the usual coarse texture of sausage, with the textures of fat and lean. The mouth feel was as if it has been boiled, or in liquid at a sufficient heat to cook the fat out of it. That left the texture sort of like moist cardboard. The flavor coming through wasn't bad, but the effect was like nicely seasoned boiled cardboard. (It took me the entire drive home to figure out a truthful way to describe it.) Perhaps this batch had just been sitting in warm moisture too long. I'm going to go back and read through the reviews again to see if I'm the only one who experienced this. The St. Louis Ribs saved the day for the meats. Except for being a bit fatty, and a general lack of smokey flavor, they weren't bad. Not great, but not bad. The good news was my take-out meatloaf special. I swear my portion of meatloaf was nearly 2 pounds! It was also tasty! It wasn't what I expected as it had more pungently savory ingredients than I am accustomed to in meatloaf, including a degree of heat, although not excessive. It was topped with a generous portion of golden fried onions, and accompanied by a huge serving of skin on mashed red potatoes! The only downside for me was the gravy, which I am grateful came in a separate container on the side. I'm not a fan of tarragon or thyme or whatever it was loaded with. Lots of people at the bar were eating it, but I didn't notice whether or not they used/ate the gravy. Simply a matter of preference I guess. Please consider this review with a grain of salt. I've traveled and eaten extensively, but I'm not a critic. I just know what I like. You may love what Bobby Q's has to offer. The only thing that I am really sold on is the wonderful customer service. I'll also throw in that they appear to have lots of regulars, and that lunch appeared to be a bustling affair with no lack of diners. read more

Everything was great from A to Z....even scored some free sugared doughnuts upon arrival just by asking. Our seating was prompt even though we were told it would be fifteen minutes - we barely waited three... our booth was awesome and so was our server Hunter...who was very kind, courteous and knowledgeable without being obtrusive or pushy. He made just the right recommendations and was very polite while engaging. The winner of the evening was the moist and plump rotisserie chicken, accompanied by the two sides which were shoestring fries and mac n cheese. The chicken was to die for and made all the supermarket rotisserie chickens look bad...the chicken was not only juicy but it was supremely tender and melt in your mouth - too bad there wasn't more of it... The only thing I didn't care for was the corn bread but that's not enough to knock off a star... Good night ! read more

LOVE this place. Free cornbread, LOVE. Free mini-donuts at the end of your meal, LOVE. 10% off thanks to yelp, LOVE! My friends and I always get the Whole Hog Heaven. It's the most bang for you buck for sure and then some! I've tried all sorts of different combinations and would recommend everything EXCEPT the chicken, it was a little too dry for me. And ALL the sides I've tried are delicious: corn, mashed potatoes, shoe string fries, mac n' cheese...perfect! The Q rolls appetizer are a must-get appetizer with the Chipotle sauce! Service is always great too! The Q Lounge next door seems like it would be a fun place to go post meal as well. We didn't go but it looked like it was bumpin' and they played some good music! read more

Probably the best BBQ place I've ever eaten at and this includes Phil's BBQ in San Diego. I ordered the Whole Hog Heaven and everything was perfect. Love the BBQ sauce, the ribs (even the beef) were fall-off-the-bone. The sides were great as well. Lots of food for the money. Service was very friendly and even the manager was checking up on us. The interior and exterior of the restaurant are also very nice. read more

Outstanding food . Great host . Amazing waitress! Love the experience! Definitely going back .

The hostess and manager seemed super happy. gave my family a very special welcome. The donut machine was fun to watch. Great to see this place was nice and busy. We were still able to get a seat within 10 minutes. We sat order drinks and apps. The waitress gave us enough time spread out our food orders so we had time to eat our apps. We like relax time in our meals. Happy not to be rushed. BBQ chicken was great, my little ate all the corn and mac. Very clean place. read more

Bobby Q - Barbeque Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I love BBQ and I've wanted to try Bobby Q for a while so when the boyfriend had a friend coming to visit who was staying near here I suggested we try it out. It's always a little scary to take someone to a place you've never been to but Bobby Q did not disappoint. We started with their Q rolls for an appetizer. SO good. They are kinda like egg rolls but with brisket and they come with a chipotle dipping sauce that is really good. I ordered the brisket sandwich (apparently I was in a brisket kinda mood) which comes with shoestring fries and I ordered a side of mac n cheese as well. I'm not kidding when I say this is some of the best beef brisket I've ever had. It was so tender, not dry at all and it had just the right amount of sauce - enough to give you that rich BBQ flavor but not so much that the meat is swimming in it. The fries were good but the mac n cheese was really good. VERY rich and creamy. I couldn't finish it all. The boyfriend had chicken and mashed potatoes. He said the chicken was good but the potatoes came without gravy. Maybe they forgot it? So those were kinda dull. Our friend got ribs and mac n cheese. The ribs looked amazing - fall off the bone type. We stayed at the table really late - we were literally the last people in the place but they didn't seem to care that we were just hanging out which was cool. We didn't go to the bar next door but it was packed and looked like a fun place to grab a drink. Bobby Q turned out to be a great place to bring a visitor since they let us talk forever and the food was tasty and reasonably priced. I would definitely eat there again. read more

This place has amazing cornbread, I'd go just for that. In fact, you should go at least once just to try it. Service was really slow and unattentive, but it's a popular place so that was expected. I got the ribs but they didn't even come off the bone that easily. it was obvious they were cooked fast, not a proper slow and low. We had a few sides to sample, but they werent anything to note. It's a fun, lively place but I won't be making a habit of it as there's better rib options out there. read more

I'm not a huge BBQ fan, but I can go for a stack of ribs every now and then (especially if it's from a highly recommended location). The venue is fairly large and was very busy when we arrived. The parking lot itself was %70-80 full on a Friday night. Luckily for our group, I had already made reservations. The restaurant has a rustic, western feel; it's casual as well. Service was spot on - fast and friendly. Started the evening with the fried Calamari. What's different about this calamari, compared to most, is that their pieces are large (think chicken tenders), but don't be intimidated. It's cooked perfectly so it's not too chewy and has a great texture. The panko breading puts it over the top with the extra crunch factor it's has. As a group, we got the house salad, soup of the day (potato cream soup), and the Whole Hog Heaven. Soup was very good - it has a thick consistency with bits of bacon and cheese but nothing special. The Whole Hog Heaven comes with corn bread which was one of my favorite part to the course. It's light soft on the inside, descent layer of crust on the outside, savory and not too sweet. The beef ribs were BOMB! The baby ribs were good as well, but not my favorite or the best (kind of wish I had tried the the St. Louis instead of the baby backs). Sausages were good; if they were spicy, it would have been amazing. The brisket were one of my favorites, but they were not consistent in texture (some pieces were slightly dry while most pieces were melt-in-your-mouth delicious). Our sides consisted of the mac & cheese, shoestring fries, and ranch beans. All of the sides were good but nothing unique. The ranch beans were my favorite of the 3. read more

See all

I've driven by this spot so many times on the 17 and finally decided to look it up on yelp. Based on the mostly rave reviews my boyfriend and I decided to give it a shot. First off I was really excited about the mac n cheese since so many people said it was amazing. I was severely disappointed and agree with another reviewer who said it tasted like velveeta. I'm convinced that's exactly what it was. The beans tasted like watered down canned baked beans. Okay, now that the bad is out of the way let me tell you about the good. We ordered the Q rolls as recommended and we weren't disappointed. Both sauces were tasty. We couldn't decide on what to get so we went with hog heaven to try a bit of everything. We chose the St. Louis ribs, the beef ribs, brisket, and pulled pork. Our sides were mac n cheese, beans, and roasted corn. We had to ask for cornbread. The cornbread was good, on the caky side but still good. The roasted corn was very good, I recommend it. The brisket and pulled pork were definitely up to par. I grew up on both. They weren't quite my dad's, but still worthy of recommendation. Both ribs were fall off the bone. I hadn't has St. Louis ribs before and I wont get them again. They were on the spicy side, which I personally don't prefer. The beef ribs were very tasty and I would order them again. After waiting for some boxes we started to look around at the other tables. The baked potatoes look awesome, stuffed to the hilt of goodness. They also had vegetables. No mac n cheese or beans in sight. We'll definitely follow suit next time. All in all we were pleased with the experience. The main food was done right and the restaurant and atmosphere was great. The service was definitely to our liking. The 10% off from yelp was also a bonus :) We are both huge fans of honey bears and their sauce, although as of late the ribs haven't been fall off the bone. We are considering buying honey bears' sauce and getting Bobby Q's beef ribs to go without the sauce. read more

Maybe my son and I have different tastes than most of the reviewers or ate here on an off night. Our experience was that the decor, menu, service, and presentation were all great, however the BBQ was tasteless. We ordered the Whole Hog to share. It included two types of ribs and two meats. The meats were all beautifully prepared, fall-off-the-bone tender, looked great, and then very little taste except for the sweet sauce on everything. Maybe we are BBQ-spoiled living in Texas. read more

Best BBQ in Arizona! Big portions, great sides, and great service. I got the combo platter with pulled pork, brisket, and ribs...it was outstanding. The pulled pork is exceptional. For your sides, you have to get the Mac & Cheese! If you really like the traditional KC or TX BBQ joints that are hole in the walls with red and white checkered tablecloths (or none at all) and you have to walk through lines to get your BBQ, then you probably won't like Bobby Q's. The food is great, but it is a somewhat upscale for BBQ. Oh yeah, and the "Thank Q's" doughnuts are great way to end the meal. They're so fresh and gooey!! read more

Friendly, very fast service on a weekday night. Quite decent cornbread (reference Houston's/Bandera's for the Benchmark cornbread!). Good, tender pulled pork. Grilled corn tasty, a bit greasy. Grilled veggies fairly fresh, but meh. Nice decor. Overall, not bad a'tall. Oink. read more

Great spot & great food, dined for lunch late Feb during weekend trip. First off, the place is enchanting! We sat outside for lunch and I dunno where they come from but there are lovely little sparrows that surround the outside seating area. You wouldn't believe that this place is located next to highway! Of course, food is awesome. And so are the cocktails!! I've found that service in AZ in general is superb; however, our server J was so personable and sweet, it was joy just chatting with her!! (FYI, intentionally not calling her out to give some protection just in case lol). read more

The ribs were not cooked got me sick for a week! Food poisoning for you! Stay away people

The service at this place is awesome! I've been here a few times for lunch and dinner and every time I come here I've always enjoyed the service. This place have the best BBQ by far in the Phoenix area!! The cornbread is excellent and I don't even have to mention the award winning Mac and cheese!! If you looking for a place to bring your family, friends, or significant other this is a nice place for a date or family gathering! read more
