Unfortunately wasn't impressed with the food or service, won't return back. Food was greasy, bartender was not quick to greet or take our order. The host staff was more interested in tattoos and piercings then customer service. read more

This place is wonderful! The staff is friendly and attentive and the food was yum yum yummy!! Plus you get a bag of fresh made donuts complementary at the end of the meal! 5 all the way! Oh and the corn bread is delicious read more

We've gone to the location in Phoenix several times and this was the first time we made our way over to the Mesa location. We had a group of 8 and our server (who's name I didn't get) was amazing. He made great recommendations for those who hadn't been there before and no one was disappointed. Bobby Q's has amazing food, drinks and service. They also give you bags of mini donuts when you leave which satisfy any sweet tooth you may have. Try this place out! read more

As promised from my last review I gave Bobby Q's another chance and I was not disappointed! Everything was excellent, the wait staff was very attentive and friendly from the time you walk in to the time you leave! I had their lunch sample platter and while the platter did not offer baby-back pork ribs the server was very accommodating and let me have them instead of the beef ribs. The platter is $19 but was well worth it, you get a choice of three meats so I chose a double portion of the baby back ribs, sausage and mac and cheese as my side and of course their complimentary corn bread. The portions were plenty large, large enough I have dinner for tonight! The ribs were very tasty, they had the perfect blend of crust and tenderness, the meat just fell off the bone! The sausage and mac and cheese were excellent as well! I am glad I gave Bobby Q's another chance, I will be coming back again, but with friends next time! read more

baby back ribs, mashed potatoes and corn bread were very good. sausage and baked beans were good. the brisket was very popular and I wanted to like it, but it was pretty dry, maybe because it was late on a Sunday night. but I was not impressed. I look forward to trying other options next time we go there read more

Food was B+ but extremely overpriced. Probably won't be back. Better food elsewhere and cheaper

My mom and I went in for dinner last night and the food and service were exceptional. We sat in the bar and started with a craft beer flight - love all of the choices they had! Then we had a two meat platter, so we could try a little bit of everything, and it was all delicious. The meats were tender and the sauces were unique and flavorful. All of our sides were just right, and we ended up having he little donuts for dessert. The whole restaurant was kept very nice and we loved the ambiance. Great place - we will definitely be back! read more

This place is so good! Didn't know it existed until family from out of town mentioned it! The BBQ is delicious. I had the pulled pork and it was so flavorful and tender. The mash potatoes and macaroni and cheese are the bomb!! Order it you won't go wrong! Michelle was a fantastic server! Thank you! read more

Had a good time, but I think or waiter was new atleast I hope. Service was very slow and choppy, the server forget pretty much everything and it was about 15 minutes before we were offered drinks. Food was good im just feeling sketchy about the service. read more

This was excellent. The service was superior and very attentive. It looks this place should be the beach. It gives that waterfront feeling. The strawberry lemonade was too sweet. Everything was good. No regrets! read more

We went here tonight and had excellent service. Austin was our server, he was pleasant and attentive, but not overbearing! The manager Jake stopped by to make sure the food and service were good. The food was SO delicious-one of the best steaks I've ever had! And the decor is so cute, especially the outdoor patio areas. We had a great time here tonight! read more

My family and I always make Bobby Q our first choice for barbecue because it's really that good! The food portions are generous, and you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. We request Ashlynn as our server every time we go because she does such a fantastic job! read more

Not authentic barbecue but great atmosphere, good prices and pristine selection. Appetizers are always good and drink prices are ideal. Good for family, or for a date! read more

Amazing time and food! Joel did a great job serving us and giving recommendations. We had fried chicken and St Luis ribs. Yum! On a side note we saw so many staff members cleaning and even using flashlights to ensure the booths were thoroughly cleaned. Quite impressive. read more

Delicious!! Everything we ordered was tender and full of flavor. Stop by and ask for Cali, she'll take care of you!

Delicious. The pulled pork sandwich was awesome. This will be our go to for a smoked pork sandwich. Can't wait to try their smoked prime rib. If you walk out hungry it is your own fault. Service was great our waitress explained about the three different BBQ sauces. The owner knows how to smoke pork. Go you will nit be disappointed. read more

I live 5 mins away and a lot has changed in a few months. The used to have late night happy hour which was great. They eliminated that. Now I find out that the wings were taken off their HH menu. Thanks but no thanks! **Updated** Sure I'll give you another chance if you bring back HH wings and late night HH read more

Overall delicious food and great service! I've had the brisket both times I've been here... amazing!!! Can't wait to go back to try the ribs! read more

Justin was my waiter. He was absolutely fantastic. Very knowledgeable about the selection. And truly friendly. Not "I want a good tip" friendly. The bbq was excellent. Thank you all for a great experience!! read more

We love the meat here, everything we have tried. Sides are ok. We love the cornbread and the mini donuts at the end of the meal. Services has always been great too! read more

In town visiting family and love BBQ so, let's go to Bobby Q. Tuesday nite no problem being seated. Had checked out the pictures on Yelp and knew I wanted the big pineapple drink to start off. Waiter greeted us promptly and we ordered drinks. While waiting for my drink I decided on the slab of baby back ribs with sides of roasted corn and coleslaw topped with pecans. Drinks were served , dinner was ordered and we were also given corn bread cakes to sample. Corn bread cakes were fine. Drink was a big disappointment. Looked great , tasted great , good alcohol content but not worth $15. Not enough. Other family had mixed drinks and there were no complaints. The food was served , one had the smoked prime rib , one had the filet mignon and one had a wedge salad with Blue Cheese. I had the ribs. Prime rib was a nice cut with a good crust around it. Was told it was tender and flavorful. The filet was very good , cooked correctly and tasted great. The wedge salad was big and was full of big blue cheese crumbles, tasted great I was again told. Now for the my meal. The full rack of baby back ribs were a good portion. With a rub and some sauce applied. Cut into them and there was a nice smoke ring in the meat but the meat fell off the bone. I want my ribs to require a little tug to remove the meat. These , the bones just slid out. Ate half my rack and let another family member take the rest home. Second disappointing item tonite. Good flavor though. Two sides were fine. Roasted corn was seasoned well and the chopped pecans on the cole slaw made it. The service and atmosphere were fine. Mini donuts served with the check are a nice touch. Would go back but would not get the wimpy ribs. read more

The original Bobby Q's is a family favorite. We thought we would try this new one and I have to say.....pretty darn good too. The service was great and the food is two thumbs read more

The food was OK, Definitely was overpriced!Atmosphere was good. Slow service! Would I go back , probably not! Much better BBQ in the area

This place was so good. I'm usually a stickler for BBQ coming from St. Louis Missouri. we were waited on by Jennifer who was so nice and very friendly. We have found our new favorite BBQ place. read more

The food is fine. The corn bread they bring to the table early is very good. The donuts the bring at the end are fabulous. It seems a little pricey to me, but with the corn bread and donuts maybe it evens out. I would consider going back and trying it again, especially if I had a coupon. read more

We came here for the first time last night. My husband had the ribeye steak and he said it was cooked perfectly. I had the grilled shrimp and they were delicious. Our server Joey was super nice and attentive he checked on us several time just to make sure we were ok. We will be back read more

This place is absolutely amazing!!! Even in the crazy times we have now the people at Bobby-Q never disappoint. I'm from out of town and always stop by when we're in town. Great food , Amazing service. Keep it up. read more

Tried this place and was surprised on how nice the place looks. So to start I was happy to enjoy the ambience, a long with quick drink service they had me excited for the food. They serve these little corn cakes that were great. The brisket and pork were both up to par with other great BBQ in the area. The only reason I give it a 4 is because of the price, I think it's a little too high. read more

After trying the delicious ribs that were offered at the Chandler BBQ festival we just had to visit the restaurant in Phoenix and it did not disappoint. So needless to say, we were very excited when we discovered that a new location was open a lot closer to us. The entire experience was just not the same. The food was not as flavorful and the service was so slow. We did not visit during a peak time so we were a bit confused as to why the service was not so great. 3 stars. read more

I'm sorry, but the prices here do not support the quality of the food. The service was mediocre at best. Won't return.

Found our new place, from the food to the staff we love this place! the manager is awesome when thousand island is not on the menu for my husbands salad he found away to obtain it from a special they have on certain days. They go above and beyond to help you and we love sitting in the bar it is like family even though it is so busy. read more

We were all excited - BBQ, wood grilled steaks, southern cooking - sounded like HEAVEN! Also loved the donuts while we waited for our party to coalesce! Our server was charming and personable, but for the price level of the restaurant we expect professional and attentive service. There seemed to be plenty of wait staff throughout the establishment. The professionalism comes in on both the little things and big. We waited for 15-20 minutes to order, then it was down hill from there. 3 meals came out a good 10-15 minutes before the rest of the table, yet my early arrival prime rib was cool to the touch and overdone. My partner's filet was under cooked. The beans that I specific asked about when ordering "do they have BBQ sauce in them, are they sweet?" were in fact sweet BBQ beans - weird... When the rest of the meals arrived, our anniversary couple's "combination platter with side shrimp" had turned into the shrimp plate order split in half - literally 4 medium shrimp on 2 separate plates. We had a birthday at the table - 3-4 wait staff brought out the complimentary dessert - then promptly left leaving our table covered in dinner plates, including an empty plate literally blocking our birthday girl from reaching her dessert. Strange... The manager did comp us $60 total on our $260 meal, but overall BobbyQ's Mesa was a disappointing experience. read more

Bobby Q had the best bbque around!! We like to split the three combo platter! There is still plenty to take home after feeding two people & that helps with cost. We LOVE this place! read more

Based on all the early 4/5 star reviews, we decided to drive 20 miles to check this place out. While the service from Gio was excellent, the food was mediocre at best. We tried the baby back ribs, Q-lina pork sandwich and southern fried chicken and cannot, in all good conscience, recommend any of them. The fried chicken was especially disappointing, flattened out and battered like chicken fried chicken. This place feels like it wants to be Lucille's (Tempe) but it falls miserably short of that southern standard. Excellent service isn't enough for us to forgive such mediocre and overpriced food, so we're done with Bobby Q. read more

got 'WHOLE Hog Heaven'--brisket had a HEAVY, TOO heavy, salty/mushy covering (once removed brisket was passable. Sausage was great. baby backs great. Meat ribs OK, but very tough. BBQ sauce options GREAT--spicy I REALLY liked. French fries GREAT. Beans, average. Good portions. GREAT ambiance inside. Complementary mini-cinnamon donuts nice touch. Alcohol was more expensive than comparable places. Wait staff average. read more

I can't say enough about Bobby Q's, especially the one in Mesa. Great food and superior service.

Tried it several times now and although the BBQ is very good I have found it to be a little on the heavy smoked side. The ribs are fall off the bone delicious and the brisket is wonderful. Hours later you find yourself dealing with the smoke flavor. Definitely not a fan of the sausage, its just too much smoke! And I love sausage. I guess you can have too much of a good thing. Very good service and it's a great looking restaurant. read more

Brisket was great! Corn bread cakes were awesome. Sad, the donut machine was broken but there's always next time :)

I want to really like this place but when I first walked I had to walk past a bunch of smokers with my kids. They should think of moving the smoking area somewhere else. Then it smelled like a nursing home. One of the bathroom sinks didn't work, there was water all over the bathroom floor. Now the food, my husband's food made him sick to his stomach, he got a caesar salad to start has soon has he started eating it he said he it made him feel sick. So he had his entree put into to go box. Me and my kids got the Q-rolls and they were good. My kids enjoyed thier food. One got a kids cheese pizza which was big enough that they could have shared, and the other got the fried Chicken was she liked. My food I got the brisket and mac and cheese. The Mac was good just like homemade, the brisket had more fat then meat and was too smokey like a weird smoke flavor kinda chemically tasting. Probably won't try again. read more

We came here last Wednesday with a family member from out of town, we have eaten at the original location before and loved it so we were hoping that this location closer to home now would be just as good and it did not disappoint. Everyone loved their meals so much, I am newly vegan for health reasons and so it was hard to order anything for myself besides a salad but it was a good sized salad and they were very nice about making sure it did not have cheese on it and the right kind of dressing. I know the sauce is amazing so maybe they could add a portabella mushroom burger to the menu??! Service is always the best you will ever get, it was packed with graduation parties but we were served quickly and never needed to ask for a re-fill. I just really love the consistency for both locations, we will always come here for a great meal! read more
