Stopped on the way to Florida, had never been to a Bobs BBQ, which apparently is a small chain. Not many cars in the parking lot at lunch which is never a good sign. The pulled pork was tasty but nothing special, not much smoke taste without the sauce. Sauces were good. Probably need to try more meats. Where they shined was the sides. The fried okra, brunswick stew and even the French fries were spot on, crispy, hot and fresh. Service was quick but not that friendly. I'd stop again if in the area at mealtime, but I wouldn't seek this place out. read more

Today for lunch my mother and I went to Georgia Bob to get some Brunswick Stew with crackers on the side. Once we got the stew home the taste of the stew was really awful and disgusting hardly any vegetables. Crackers tasted like they were old and outdated. I can not recommend eating here. read more

The people that work here were very nice. The place was homey and looks like a legit bbq place. The bathroom had a heavy urine smell and the urinal was caked with yellow stains. The food is 1 star at best. I love bbq, and I have a high bar, but I ALWAYS finish my food and I couldn't get through this one. The pulled pork tasted like crock pot pork, zero smoke flavor, it was the consistency of cat food. The ribs also felt like oven ribs, the meat tasted turned. I ate one bite and could barely swallow. The sauces must have been sitting around unrefridgerated and were so spoiled they were carbonated with bubbles rising to the top. The sides were the highlight, especially the fried okra and fries, their fry cook should teach their pit master something. The Brunswick stew was one texture with the occasional corn kernel. PLEASE EAT SOMEWHERE ELSE. read more

Very skimpy portion and while the ribs were ok the pulled pork was food service grade. Im not sure they mix the coleslaw with anything but cabbage and shaved carrots and the potato salad was no Bueno. read more

While traveling home over thanksgiving my wife and I stopped to refuel. We like to try out different foods and local flavors and Georgia Bob's fit the bill. Order from the counter and seat yourself wherever. The restaurant was clean and comfortable. Our food was delivered to our table and everything else is self serve. The brisket was more like pot roast than a traditional smoked Brisket. The pulled pork sandwich was delicious. read more

we had been driving all day and was looking forward to some good Georgia BBQ BUT we did not find it at this place. The lady who took our order was unpleasant. Behind her, you could see two people in the kitchen sitting bored. One of these two had huge, long, curly hair tied back but not in a hair net. I ordered the brisket and pulled pork platter. The pork was just ok but the brisket was horrible. It was obvious that the piece of rubber, I mean brisket, had been microwaved to heat it up - possibly more than once. The restaurant was barely clean. I had to search unused tables to find BBQ sauce as ours was empty and the bottles were sticky. The table was sticky too. No one came to check on us at our table. The building was dark outside and inside. We were so disappointed. read more

This place was amazing. The food was so good especially the pulled pork sandwich. I loved it and I think you would too.

Met for an appointment for lunch. Ordered two drinks while conducting business. Went back later and ordered lunch I had pull pork sandwich as they don't have sliced pork I got a cheap small hamburger bun with an ice cream scoop size glob of pulverized pork I had to take a fork to smash it down to cover the small bun. No sides came with it Best part, is the bill said I got charged for two waters in addition to the drinks. We never got water but charged. When I called they had no response but sorry. I said it wasn't the cost but the idea I can't trust you what you bill me for Pork was grocery store quality. Won't be going back read more

Quick bite, easy in and out. Food was OK. Vinegar BBQ sauce, ok portions, older place with a dated look and feel.

Ordered back baby ribs which were not baby back and 90% of them were total fat with NO meat. Awful.

Quick stop. The counter lady was friendly, the ribs came quickly. I thought the ribs were decent, I liked the sauce (But I'm a Yankee) True, not much smoke and no bark; but tender and meaty. Overall 6 of 10 read more

If you like food from a can, this place is for you . Brisket was tougher than jerky. Pulled pork from the can as was the baked beans.

Disappointing overall. The BBQ lacked flavor and any real smoky taste, it was vinegary and sour, the fries were very basic, and the ranch tasted bottled. The white bread that comes with the plates had a very bad chlorine taste. Even the mac and cheese fell flat with no flavor. Will not be eating here again. "Sweet Tea" was not sweet at all and restaurant was not clean. read more

It's pretty sad when you have to wait over 20 minutes for a green beans and potato salad order.

If I could give a zero I would. First review that I have ever written. Terrible brisket, turkey and pulled pork. Only thing that was fine was the Diet Coke unsweetened tea and fried okra. read more

I took Boss Hogg (my trucker dog/kid) out to lunch it looks like back in early fall to put this place under the 3rd BBQ restaurant for my Summer BBQ series of southern places and accidentally missed the review. This summer I was on a mission to have a variety of BBQ. And I will not deny this is in the Top 3 that I went to this summer. The ribs and brisket, baked beans and Mac n cheese was delicious and very flavorful with 3 different bbq sauces to choose from. The staff of young girls did a great job and were very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and giving recommendations on the sauces. I have the spot Bookmarked and will definitely return when I get my bbq cravings. read more

The food was the worst I have ever eaten. The ribs were frozen and reheated, the brisket was dunked in some god awful liquid and was rubbery. The service was non existent, rude and not even worth a comment. read more

The chicken strips were great and so was the fried pork chop, the tea was ultra sweet (which I enjoy but some don't) and the banana pudding was decent. The vibes of the restaurant reflected that of an old BBQ joint, which it is, and the decor was pretty fitting. The seats were cool looking, but shifted and cracked when a heavier set person sat on them. It was counter service only, but I had no complaints about the staff. The bathrooms could use some deep cleaning though and the toilet handle was broken in the men's room, but rather than fixing it they just had a sign that looked like it had been there for ages telling you to hold down the handle until it flushed. Overall, the food was good, but definitely not the best place I've ever had! read more

The food was good and plenty of it. Staff was very kind. Just ...the bbq sauce bottles were dirty and empty. The condiment area on the tables were dirty. The place needs a good cleaning to feel more comfortable for me. read more

Got there late and they were shutting down for the night in about 30 minutes. They didn't have any tea as they just dumped it out. Service was slow. Quality of brisket was less than I expected. The brisket lacked any real flavor. read more

Not a good impression when you go into a flooded bathroom floor and the bottom of the toilets look like they have never been wiped down. Hubby had to watch the men's bathroom so I could go in there. Where there was also water on the floor. Menu is vague as to how many sides you get. I ordered brisket, chicken salad, green beans and salad. Was told there wasn't an up charge for the salad- but- according to the receipt, there was. Hubby had ribs, chicken salad, baked beans and a side salad. My brisket was less than the size of a deck of cards. Very disappointing. My husband had 2 dried out small ribs. Salad was fresh. We were just passing through and wouldn't recommend. The food quantity is not enough for the price and the whole place needs a good cleaning. read more

Perhaps the best bbq in this area! Smoky and juicy, tender and tasty! Was pleasantly surprised. Fries were good. So we're other items (salads chicken salad...). But the bbq pulled pork sandwich was something I am already looking forward to enjoying again. read more

I am from Texas and the pulled pork at Bobs is great. Loved the green beans and okra too, drive through is real slow. They need to learn if there is a large order, move them up so the rest of us can be served. read more

Great food, reasonable prices. We had a hard day thanks to degenerates up in Macon West, so we relocated to Byron. This place was walking distance from our hotel. It's unassuming in appearance but the food is delicious. Definitely coming back here! read more

Service was good, but this was probably the worst barbecue I've ever had. The pork was old and pre sauced, bun was stale, sauce bottles looked like they hadn't been cleaned in about 3 years. read more

Food is always delicious. Service is always friendly. The atmosphere gives family owned. Love this place for BBQ

WTF is this?!?! Supposed to be a pick 2 of ribs and sausage. I barely got 1 rib and it looks like someone ate it and threw it in my plate. This was $12.99. Never coming back here again! read more

Counter service. Plastic fork, spoon, and paper plate is provided. Food was nothing special. My turkey was dried out.

Used to be good. Not anymore. Food was just fair. The smoked ribs were lacking any type of smoke taste. Basically tasted like oven baked ribs. Sonny's has much better. The bottles of barbecue sauce on the table are disgusting. One tasted spoiled/sour. They were all sticky. Didn't appear that anything gets wiped down. This is the last time we will ever come to the GA Bobs in Byron. It is sad actually, because we really used to like it here. Spend your money somewhere im else. Eating here is a waste of money. read more

A fun family oriented restaurant. love the patriot photos and decor. Sort of like a barbecue Wendy's. A bit dirty on the inside though. Corn nuggets and fries are the best. read more

We stopped here during a road trip and SO GLAD WE DID! I ordered ahead for take out and didn't even look at the menu, so when I went to pay I was shocked by how cheap it was for 2 of us to eat! We both had pulled pork sandwiches, I had sweet bbq, and he went with spicey, it was so good, just small portions. I recommend getting 2 sandwiches if your super hungry, for the price it won't hurt. Lots of parking, and not far from the interstate. COVID- Every other seat was closed off for social distancing, and staff were all wearing masks. read more

So, I wanted this place to be good, I wanted to enjoy the food. Unfortunately that was not the experience. The brisket was lukewarm and soggy and the corn nuggets and mini corn dogs were rather bland and tasted as if they were previously frozen. The variety of sauces was pretty good, I did like that. The service was very kind and helpful, and the place was clean and had the right feeling for a barbeque place. It was clean, and the bathrooms were clean as well. But as far as the food goes, it did not meet expectations. read more

I'm from Kansas City and have also lived in Texas near the DFW area so I feel like I know good BBQ. Unfortunately Georgia Bobs at this location wasn't good BBQ. My wife ordered a pulled pork plate and I ordered a combo plate with 3 meats. Mine were brisket, pulled pork and ribs. Pork and brisket came sauced and quite heavy. The brisket was chopped and not sliced and in Texas there is typically only one reason you chop, because it's the cheap cut or a select grade brisket or possibly a choice grade. The brisket and pork was ok, but I couldn't really taste it because it was sauced so heavily. The ribs were awful, the color and texture seemed as if they were boiled and then seasoned and thrown on a Weber for a couple minutes. They were not tender and had no flavor. We had four sides the baked beans, potato salad and Mac and Cheese with the garlic toast. They were ok but not great. The beans were very plain and I could tell they use a Pork and Beans, which is ok, but I could taste the base ingredients. The positive and biggest highlight was the banana pudding. This was absolutely amazing!!! read more

The best barbecue around! We absolutely adore this location. Wonderful food & staff. Love that they have a drive thru!

Went in just before they closed. The food was really good got the beef brisket and two sides coleslaw and potato salad. They offer three sauces- spicy-mild and sweet I liked it so well we got a bottle of the sweet to take home with us. They also had a new Budweiser a Bud Light Apple (hope they have these at home) The staff was very friendly and nice. read more

Came here hoping for some good BBQ. Wish I had read the reviews first! Bad sign was a customer returning her food as unfit to eat. Second sign was the dirt and dust seen around the dining area. I got the pick 2 and a drink, total was $20!!!! The portions are small. The potato salad was flavorless and undercooked in the potatoes. Wont be back again. 2 stars for being open read more

Best chicken tenders! Small portions for the pricing but such good food. Would definitely go back!

Thought they were well priced until I got my food. I was very disappointed with the portion size. I ordered the pick 2 (I chose ribs, and brisket). I got 2 ribs and 2 lunch meat thin slices of brisket. Even the sides were a bit skimpy. I got about 1/2 cup of Brunswick stew and maybe a dozen sweet potato tots which are about 1/2 the size of a regular tater tot. Ribs had no bark on them, no smoke ring and tasted more like they were steamed or boiled. "Texas style brisket" wasn't bad tasting but was sliced like lunch meat and soaked in some kind of sauce. Pretty sure any Texan would deny this as "Texas style brisket." Brunswick stew had the consistency of baby food and tasted like minestrone. Sadly, the best item I ate was their sweet potato tots. I came here because my Uber driver told me it's the best barbecue in the Macon,Ga area. He said they have multiple awards and everything. I don't see it. Not bad tasting food but there's better out there with bigger portions for the same price. read more

The food was awful. My brisket was so tough and the Mac n cheese had a funny taste. The BBQ sauce bottles hadn't been wiped off in a while, dried drippage! We took 1 bite and got up and left. Don't waste your time or money!!!! read more
