This was, hands down, the best fried chicken I have ever had in my life. I got the 2 piece dark meat with slaw & potato salad. That was the juiciest, but crispiest chicken EVER. The potato salad and slaw had the perfect vinegar tang too. Not to mention, limeade? Hello? That is like a key like pie in a cup! The service was so kind too, we were able to snag the last doughnut on the house!! That was also so delicious and soft! The inside is just adorable and cozy, I think I found my new beach spot. read more

BoBo's is like going to visit your grandma. They have the chicken, the down home sides and old school ambiance. I really enjoy the fried chicken, the chicken tenders and the wide variety of sides. The tomato cucumber salad is one of those simple sides that you should not overlook! Their green beans and mac and cheese are excellent too. The counter service is friendly! Before you leave you need to try the peanut ice cream! read more

We were greeted by a wonderful lady who walked us through everything--from their fresh, never-frozen chicken to the homemade meals and ice cream. We ended up trying a little bit of everything, and it all lived up to the hype. This place is the real deal. read more

Found this spot after a quick Google for dinner while in town. I was so excited to try it because I rarely see chicken livers or gizzards sold anywhere. Imagine my disappointment when I walked up to order it and they were out. My heart was broken! I ended up just getting fried chicken and a couple of sides. The chicken was just okay. The butter beans were good as well as the Brunswick stew. They did let us taste test some homemade peanut butter from another local business and it was good. My brother bought a container of it! If I'm ever back in the area, I'll give the chicken livers a try! Service was good and plenty of seating. Parking is gravel, FYI, but lots of it. read more

Bobo's is a classic. In my opinion, they have the best Mac and cheese in the area. I can always count on whoever is cheffing it up in the kitchen to make the cheesiest, gooiest, perfectly baked, beautifully combined, wonderfully flavored, luscious Mac and cheese. I usually pick up via drive thru, but there is an option to sit inside. It tends to be a little quiet on the inside so it's a nice spot to have a casual lunch or dinner date and still be able to hear one another in conversation. Their chicken is different than a traditional southern fried chicken. They braise it, so it might look a little different on the outside when it comes to color, but it is still crispy and delicious. If you get a combo, you usually get cornbread and a pickled vegetable inside the box of chicken. They have a good variety when it comes to the menu, they even have Virginia Peanut ice cream, which I do enjoy. Of course, my focus is on the Mac and cheese. I double it up in my combo since they come with 2 sides. And if I'm buying for a larger group of people to eat with, I'll happily get a quart. Don't sleep on their Mac and cheese! Lol Service has always been nice. Think "southern hospitality," they'll take care of you. Thanks, Bobo's for all these years of quality food! I can always count on Bobo's for a delicious meal read more

When people ask what's the best fried chicken in the area, a lot of people will say Bo Bo's and they are 100% correct! I've had my fair share of fried chicken over the course of my lifetime and I can say with certainty that this place may have some of the best fried chicken I've ever had! We went here recently and was greeted by a wonderful employee. I told her it was our first time and she was able to explain a little to us about their food and process. We were able to try their fried chicken and a couple of sides. The fried chicken was DELICIOUS! Skin was fried to perfection and meat itself was packed with flavor and juicy. The two piece combo was enough food for me. They also serve some handmade ice cream here that I want to try next. Seating is a little limited and I can see the lunch crowd filling this place quickly. I can't wait to come back! read more

The best home cooking on the entire eastern seaboard! Wonderful and friendly service. Don't miss this Bo Bo's!

BoBo's has been on my list for a long time. I finally got to go and get some take out. Next time I want to sit inside. Friendly people, She even gave me recommendations. I ordered exactly what she told me to. It was their fried chicken. Very good . read more

What happened? I haven't been since last summer but my favorite dark Chix came out soggy, loaded with vinegar and spicy. Not at all the usual crispy flavorful Chix I'm used to. I'll have to go back and see If it was an explosion of something in the kitchen or a new recipe. Hopefully the former. It was my favorite. Sorry. read more

Not only does Bo Bo's have the best fried chicken in Hampton Roads, but everyone who works there is incredibly nice, helpful and friendly. We've eaten at Bo Bo's at least half a dozen times, and every time we've left smiling and commenting on how nice the employees are. Unfortunately, this isn't always the norm these days, so it really does mean a lot. I hope they're paid well, and if not, they all deserve raises! read more

Local as can be...Bobo's serves up locally sourced fried chicken and sides that are authentic to this part of the South. The chicken is meaty and moist whether on the bone or as the 5-piece tender meal. Mac & Cheese and collard greens are outstanding. They also serve up livers& gizzards...which is worth trying if you've never had. Sweet tea is on point as is the 'bobo's sauce'. There are also a variety of homemade ice creams. Bobo's used to be considered pricey, but as prices rose elsewhere, Bobo's stayed pretty much the same, so it's not too bad for a family of 4. read more

To be honest, I did not expect to love this place quite so much. Location is convenient and really cute with plenty of parking. I haven't experienced the drive thru, but love that it is another option. The service was incredible. So welcoming, friendly and gave great recommendations. I ordered the chicken strip meal which was delicious. I got the stewed okra and the Brunswick Stew as my sides and honestly, they were the star of the show. Will definitely be back! read more

I will say this... I don't know anywhere else where I can get this kind of quality experience at a restaurant with a drive-thru. Bo Bo's is killing it. Crispy fried chicken, decent Mac and cheese, greens and some of the most satisfying slaw I've ever had. The service is spectacular. Drive-thru experience is better than I expected. Fresh squeezed lemonade is done right. They have a couple beer options too, which I love. French donuts are hella good. Bo Bo's is my new spot when I'm in the mood for some comfort food. read more

The best chicken you can get. Nice staff and clean place . They have fresh seasonal sides to order

Stopped here on my way back home after my dentist appointment on 04/25/23. I have only had their breakfast here once before and it was so good and decided I needed to get it again. I got the chicken biscuit, cheddar baked grits and a glazed french donut. The biscuit was so tender and the chicken seasoned just right and the baked grits were so creamy and perfect. The french donut was very light and airy. Different from other donuts I have had. I would definitely get that again. I will definitely have to go back again for all that yummy breakfast goodness! read more

The people are fantastic. The fried chicken is a little different - the 48 hour brining process makes the chicken darker than normal, but it's not burned and the chicken is very moist and juicy. The sides are great. White beans and ham and mac and cheese are both top notch. The service is fantastic. Very friendly, patient, and helpful. We'll be back read more

Bobo's Fine chicken is really FINE! I ordered the 2 piece dark meat meal with mac n cheese and Brunswick Stew for side, the bobo sauce and dill ranch. Although I'm not a big fan of the sides, their fried chicken is just too good for me to take any star off! The service is also great. I told the cashier it's my first time here so I'm still looking, and he made sure if I have any question I can ask me. There are so much more space and tables than it seems so don't worry if you have a group of people/family. Although it is a restaurant, it feels like a museum, in a good way. The chicken. The skin is crispy like chips, and the batter has a very unique taste. I love dark meat because they are jucier, but boi aren't they juicy! After that delicious crispy skin was devoured, I touched the meat and it just came off the bone! The meat is very moist and juicy. I tried to dip it in the dill ranch sauce, and that was probably my favorite ranch I've had. First of all I like sauce that are not sweet but tangy, and this ranch is exactly what it is, tangy and creamy. There's also a hint of lemon so it's very refreshing. However, the Bobo's sauce is somewhat a disappointment. Although the cashier said it's like thousand island, I think it's just a mixed of ketchup and mayo, which was not some special sauce. I'm not a fan of the sides because the mac n cheese is powder-ish for some reason and it's dry. The Brunswick Stew is not bad but the pork flavor is too strong for me, but I'm sure it's just personal preference. The chicken also comes with a corn "bread" and it's not bad but it's thin like a cardboard. I want them cornbread thicc tho. Overall, the chicken lived up to its name cuz they're real fine, but the sides are meh. I'd definitely come back for their dark meat, or try the tenders and sandwich. I'd still give the other sides a try, hopefully they can surprise me! read more

I saw pics on Facebook about this place and it looked inviting, so I made the trek...the thin biscuits they make was the real draw for me--that is EXACTLY the way my grandmother used to make them. Now Shore Drive is not close, so it was a journey to get here. And my mouth was set for that biscuit. In the drive thru I learned biscuits are ONLY made them for breakfast. ARGHHHHHH!!! I naturally assumed the biscuit went WITH the chicken. Isn't that the natural progression of things? Peanut butter and jelly; rice and gravy; and chicken and biscuits? I was crestfallen. Welp, it's chicken and corn bread here. So I prepared myself for corn bread. The cashier comes to The window and informed me THEY DO HAVE BISCUITS! This is how it works: Bobo's opens at 6:30AM and they have biscuits for breakfast. They keep selling them until they sell out. When I came for lunch, there were still biscuits available and they were EVERYTHING I thought they would be! They were actually AS GOOD as my grandmother's biscuits. Wow!! My husband had the dipped chicken and he was so impressed. Him being a country boy from NC, be swears the BEST chicken is dipped chicken. And according to him, Frankie's in Salisbury, NC is the ONLY place On the entire PLANET that dips it didn't... Until he tried Bobo's. We may never return to NC again--dipped chicken is in VA, y'all and it's so soooooooo good!! Pair it with that biscuit and get a side of their mac and cheese. You will look to the heavens for this food has to be made by angels!! read more

I'm accustomed to eating crunchy crispy chicken sandwiches and normally prefer them that way. However, I am willing to make an exception with Bobo's because of the exceptionally nice customer service and friendliness towards my dogs! The first attempt we made to visit failed because the store hours were incorrect and we were in a rush to go home in Maryland. Thanks to our great pal, J David H., our cognition was completely primed and eager to have a bite of their food no matter what it takes LOL So we went back two weeks later during our visit and it was totally worth it! I am hopeful to get a hand on their breakfast sandwich the next time we're back in town. I can only imagine what a fantastic combo it'd be to eat their sandwich + the Bagel Baker's iced coffee right by the sea. I can't wait to come back again in the very near future!! read more

Visited this little gem for the 1st time today. The chicken(which is without antibiotics or steroids) was flavorful, tender and juicy. Along with the chicken I had mac and cheese which was very tasty, greens which were amazing with the house vinegar, Coleslaw which waa chopped to perfection with just enough mayo and vinegar. The staff were very attentive, informative about their menu and absolutely friendly. For someone who just popped in here based off of seeing it while driving by I couldn't believe what I had been missing on my trips to VB. What a delicious treat for my lunch meal. Great job to the staff at Bo Bos!! read more

Did a breakfast pick up here one morning. It was really good! I didn't realize they also have donuts. They aren't overly sweet and not in a bad way but, they're a little on the savory side I decided to try just a chicken biscuit. It was really good! I really like the home fries as well. It really wasn't a tater tot but just deep fried tiny pieces of potato that are flat really, give them a whirl! I really enjoyed them. To take credit card. So that was helpful. What I didn't like is, they don't open for breakfast! It's drive-thru only! Would have been nice to know that before I tried to pull in the doors a couple times. I would come back here! read more

So this place has been on my list for some time and I finally had the opportunity to try it. I was intrigued by the untraditional fried chicken batter and look of the chicken. Appears to be a wet chicken batter which you don't see too often. Went through the drive through which was very fast with great service honestly. We ordered the 12 piece platter which is a whole chicken with the bobo sauce. In my opinion the chicken is good well seasoned but I definitely prefer the traditional dry chicken batter. This was very crispy and crunchy but different. Don't forget to check in for the free scoop of ice cream, I went with vanilla. read more

Don't forget about Bobo's if you don't want to make New Years traditional dishes yourself. They have awesome Hoppin John, Black Eyed Peas with Tomatoes & Collard Greens that you can purchase in quart containers. There are also really interesting Corn Bread squares aaaannndd......Egg Nog Ice Cream. Yummy!! Since Covid the dining room is closed. You can only do take out at the drive through. There were long lines on the day of New Years Eve. But they promised to still have plenty available on New Years Day. Their sides aren't cheap. But they're worth every penny. Thank you Bobo's for a great meal!! read more

I frequent Bobo's drive-through periodically, especially when I'm in the mood for their mac & cheese. I've never died on the inside so I can't give much of a review in terms of atmosphere or ambience. But the food, although probably different from what the average person would generally expect from a fried chicken restaurant, is very tasty and gives a sense of "homemade". The Chicken... Is typically fried to a darker color than most people expect (it is not burnt), and it has a softer crisp than your typical Popeyes, think more along the lines of a crispiness that's on par with KFC's original recipe . The Sides ... the number one side is their mac & cheese. It is very well seasoned much better than any mac & cheese you're going to find at any fast food, fast casual, or buffet style restaurant . Actually, it's probably better than my own homemade. Their other sides are also quite good. I really enjoy the sweet potato yams, and I've heard nothing but good things about the mashed potatoes and gravy and the vegetables that they serve. The Limeade....GET THE LIMEADE!!!! The lce Cream ... they have handmade ice cream that rotates the flavors. They usually have 2 to 3 flavors available at a time every ice cream. I've tried has been nice. I've had it as ice cream and milkshakes. Definitely a nice little treat to round out your meal. read more

The staff is so friendly! The inside has a retro country store vibe. This is some of the best fried chicken I have ever had. You have to get the Bo Bo's sauce for the chicken. Don't skip out on getting cornbread or a biscuit. Lastly, if you check in through yelp you get a free small ice cream Nonetheless you will be having one heck of a good nap after eating here, but it's worth the stop. I will definitely be back! read more

I missed breakfast by 10 minutes, that's my fault for not knowing the hours, but I was not disappointed, the chicken is a wet batter I'm assuming? And super moist and delicious, the Mac and cheese is what real Mac and cheese is supposed to be. And the vanilla milk shake was sooooo good! It unfortunately did not make the 12 minute drive home because it was slurped down too quick :). I'm going to make sure I get there next weekend to try the breakfast for sure! read more
