    I had the pulled pork plate with baked beans, potato salad and corn bread. I chose the Cherry Cayenne and the Mango Habenero sauces. The pork had a good smoked and fresh flavor. I enjoyed both of the sauces, not too spicy, sweet with heat. My wife had the turkey sandwich with mac and cheese. The turkey had a nice smokey flavor and was not dry.

    just went thru drive thru. decided to get some chicken and some chicken strips. let me tell you about the chicken. large, tender, moist,breasts. the batter it was fried in is so delicious and tasty. outside is very crunchy like it should be. definitely recommend this for everyone to try IF YOU LIKE SPICY HOT

    The smell of bbq overcomes you as you enter the building and you're instantly hungry. You're then either annoyed, tickled, or confused by the blackboard with a political or societal "joke" (I'm keeping politics aside in this review). Finally, you're intrigued as you look at the numerous unique blends of sauces that you get to try or bring home. One of the best things about Bobo's is their pulled pork, which is genuinely up to par with any other bbq place in CU (yes, including Black Dog). I do not however love their brisket, which has been mostly dry in my experience. The sauces can save it though. My favorites are the grilled peach chipotle, Dr. Pepper, and the pineapple one. They also offer a chipotle mac & cheese, which gives it a nice subtle kick. Drive thru available as well, which as we all know can often be clutch.

    My dad recommended I check the spot out, so I went in with the impression I was going to be blown away. Unfortunately, i was less than impressed. Let's start with customer service, the woman who was running the register was oh so kind and welcoming. As she went out to wipe down some dirty tables I heard a gentleman yell very rudely at her from some room in the back (I'm assuming was an office) to stop worrying about the tables and get over there and answer the call. Maybe that's me being too harsh but he was very very rude to her. In terms of food, I got the pulled pork platter with fries and coleslaw. Pulled pork started off rather tasty although it was pretty cold, which wasn't wonderful. I also found a piece of plastic that looked to be from some sort of wrapper in my meat so that quickly halted that portion of the meal. Fries were great, nicely deep fried. Coleslaw was also rather tasty! The corn bread was pretty good although it tasted like it probably came out of a box. They had unique sauces, I tried the Dr. Pepper and the chipotle peach. They were both really really good. Overall, not bad for a cheap quick meal. Don't expect super friendly attitudes from all staff and please watch your food as you eat.

    Saucey n Bossy Truest Brisket in Champaign coupled with basic sides. My recco, go straight for the meat by the pound and skip the platter meal. 7 sauces all take the same framework, fruit as sugar coupled with an aggressive pepper or spice. There's a few winners in the bunch. The owner means well, but calls customers "pal" and "champ" during transactions, curses in the window and doorless kitchen and scribbles his political beliefs onto the interior chalkboard. Great Meat Weird Greet.

    Bad vibe, weird messages on their chalkboard that are offensive. Don't waste your time.

    The brisket was mostly fat and also overpriced! Not worth the money that you spend. Probably won't be back.
