    Salad!
    Sadia H.

    Nice salad buffet but its kept too cold, and so every thing tastes the same. Still there's a good variety. This place is pricey though, you could get a tastier salad for less at Chopt or Sweetgreen. Happy Yelping!

    This place has to be one of my favorites to frequent. They have a fantastic selection of cold foods and antipasti, and their hot foods are great. The highlights of coming here, however, are their juices and sandwiches. Their options for sandwiches are good, but the real gold is the customization: whatever you can think of putting on your sandwich, you can (as long as they have it there, of course), which is perfect for someone that loves to combine specific flavors into their meal, like myself. The juices are all freshly made at their station-a bit pricey per bottle, but well worth it when you give them a taste. Their service is quick and helpful, and very accommodating to most things you'll want from here. All in all, the best way to put it is this: even as I write this review, I'm already thinking about going back!

    What $35 will get you
    Simone S.

    First off, be warned, this place is expensive. Almost everything is by the pound and it's not cheap. For $35 I was able to get a chopped salad, a small soup, a green juice, and a very moderate serving of food (filled me and I have a very small appetite). With the said. The food is delicious. So much variety that you will have trouble choosing what to get..... and that's how they get you. The containers they provide are only the large circle ones. This just screams and begs for you to fill it. Which remember, you pay by the pound. The fish soup.... Amazing. The ginger carrot butternut squash soup.... Also top notch. The salad bar, fully stocked. All the toppings you can think of and dressing to boot. Also a juice bar. They have lots of juices already made but you can get something fresh as well. Oh and major points, they have so many vegetables and vegan options, so no one is left out. They also have a deli and desserts, but I've never tried either so I cannot speak on them. The place is clean and the workers helpful. There's only a small indoor seating area so it can fill up. There's a few tables outside too. Oh and parking. Hahaha. It's not easy to find.

    Just as everyone has touched upon, it's a veritable buffet of everything you could think of. Salad bar for kings and queens. Hot buffet filled with fried everything. Assorted hot meats, pork -chicken- fish beef etc. Juice bar. Hot soups. Cold salad bar with every imaginable topping. Price seems fair and okay for what you get. And if you are thinking you need variety, we'll you've come to the right place. One size metallic plates with plastic tops for carry out. Haven't tried the juice bar but it seems legit. Try it.

    I can't believe I've driven by this awesome buffet style food paradise for years without stopping. Smh. The amount of fresh prepared food is impressive! Chances are they'll satisfy whatever you're in the mood for. The selection is vast! Hot, fresh and delicious! You'll want to try everything but be easy, its by the pound and it adds up quickly. The jerk chicken/fish is better than some spots in the Bronx! Great heat! I really like the cabbage slaws and vegetables medleys. They are seasoned perfectly with great chew. My average plate is around $20 and I try and get a few new things to taste. I have yet to find something I didn't like. I've even been here for breakfast and it did not disappoint. This place is awesome, the workers are friendly and the place is super clean! 5 noms!

    Me in a very happy moment and place lol

    Now this is what you call every meal in one spot .... I'm so elated to be writing a review on this spot ! Please everyone get your tail feathers over there and splurge on everything in sight like I did lol (minus the pork) sorry kiddos , can't do ! But everything else ....GO GET IT the staff and they have a nice area to sit and enjoy the view ! Enjoy all

    I stop by here often for breakfast or when they have corned beef and cabbage, it's so good! They also have a really good salad bar ( love the chicken salad). You can also have a salad made, sort of a create your own. I hear that the soup is also really good, there was a line for it this morning. Oh, let me not forget the sandwiches, yep they do that too. I've only had the premade ones which are good but you can also have them make your sandwich to your liking. The one thing I must tell you is the price for the food is by weight so go easy or else :-)

    Chicken/White Rice/Cabbage..and a ROACH!

    I went there to get some lunch. I leave there, come straight to work, wash my hands, sit down to eat. In the middle of me picking thru my food I see a "DEAD ROACH" in it!

    It's very disappointing to unfortunately give this three stars. Here's the deal, the food is…read moreactually quite good. I had the chicken over rice and it was pretty decent. That's they only think saving this place. It was a Friday night and supperrrr dead. We dined in and was served on plastic Tupperware, no water was offered to us, and "karaoke night" was non existent. I'm just so sad for this place cause it has so much potential. The food is good and the place is clean. But with mid type of service (at one point we just walked up to them, lack of cutlery, lack of life, Bobo's just doesn't have any restaurant culture. I will say though, even though it's good, my chicken pourover rice came with no veggies and my boyfriend's calamari came with no lemon, which was also weird to us. Do you need help with marketing Bobo's? There was clearly so much effort in the design, but I don't know what happened to the actual culture of the restaurant. There shouldn't be only two parties on a Friday night. I wanna see you win Bobo's! I'm so sad yesterday was not a winner.

    It was pretty good. I am between 3 and 4 stars so just went with 4. We ordered combo B which was…read morethe crab and shrimp, an order of catfish and calamari. Im from the south and we have these places everywhere. They can compete with Juicy Crab and all the others. The sauce most important was delish. We ordered the Bobo's sauce medium and it was really good. The shrimp were large and good which made up for the super small crab legs.. see pic. Since the crab is the biggest cost driver of this dish I really should give this review a 3 but I think the business can do better so hoping you will take the chance to do so. The catfish - 5/5. A lot of restaurants down south are trading out swai or basa. I asked the cashier if it was real catfish, she thought so and I am happy to say it was! Really good catfish would come back and get this. They came with sweet potato ff for an extra $2 which were very good, especially dipped in the Bobo's combo B sauce... not to be confused with the additional dipping sauces provided. I did not use those. SUGGESTION to BIZ- instead of giving everyone the sauces ask them if the want it so you don't waste money. Calamari-- pass. 3/5. So much breading I couldn't taste the calamari. I was here for the normal chewy calamari texture and couldn't get to it with all the batter. Batter was flavored decently. It was empty for a Monday night... If you have not done so yet try them out!

So today I didn't want to cook so I decided to order from here again and it didn't disappoint at all. The oxtails are fall off the bone.

I bought a small portion as you can get a larger one. I paid a little more cause oxtails are expensive but I didn't care cause I love the food. Today I ordered the candied yams and didn't get them I got macaroni and cheese. I wasn't able to eat it cause I can't eat that cheese but my boyfriend ate it and said it was absolutely amazing.

The rest of the store did have fresh juices and healthy stuff, so points for that. No thumbs up, but I will leave a -Happy Yelping!
