They have good burgers and fries and they are friendly. They cook your food to order so it is fresh.

Love the food and service. Great breakfast! Hush puppies are amazing and the ribs are the best. Pasta salad and other side options taste like home made read more

My family was so excited to try this restaurant but we were extremely disappointed. Extremely overpriced for what we got. Extremely salty. Bbq sauce extremely spicy. Mac and cheese and baked beans were ok and the only thing we actually ate. So sad because we had such high hopes but we paid almost $80 and wasn't able to even eat half of what we paid for due to it being so super salty and BBQ so spicy read more

Absolutely hands down the best livermush I've had outside of my granny's kitchen. Love the service, staff and most importantly, the food!

We had a take out order our bill was 17 something didn't get our drink i asked for barbecue slaw didn't get it we're done with bobs never again will we be back there ...the next morning my boyfriend had bad upset stomach so we won't ever order there read more

This spot is well known for their BBQ chicken and ribs. I come for the wings because they are cooked to order with their homemade honey BBQ sauce. I ordered extra ranch dipping sauce it's also made in house. There is limited seating but the staff is quick getting customers in and out. They were sanitizing the tables between customers. Staff wears mask and gloves The tables and floors are clean Bathroom was also clean Stop in for lunch or dinner. I was please with the food and service. read more

I usually do not like bbq, but Ol' Bob's is delicious. I had a to-go dinner that included a large portion of pork Q, coleslaw (choice of mayo- or vinegar-based), three large yummy hush puppies, and a drink: $14.99. "I'll be back." read more

This is a neighborhood staple restaurant! I love it! Very good food. Great for breakfast, lunch or dinner. If your passing Thru Statesville be sure to stop in have some dry rub ribs, or BBQ or a hamburger and a Mountain Dew with a little cherry soda in it and yum yum!!! Oh read more

Ol' Bob's Bbq & Catering - Here is a copy of a BBQ tray I picked up at the drive through window to take home for dinner, it was great. - Barbeque Near Me - Statesville, North Carolina

We placed an online order at Ol' Bob's on our return from a road trip. Both my companion and I ordered the chopped pork. On the positive side, we both received a huge serving of pork. However, the BBQ was somewhat dry and really didn't have much flavor. The BBQ slaw was chopped cabbage, with a touch of pimento and a vinegar base. It was a definite "meh" but was just good enough to make me consider taking a side trip to Lexington for the real deal. The fries were warm, but flaccid. The hushpuppies, which could have been very good, were overcooked. Overall, the food rated 2.5 stars. My biggest issue with Ol' Bob's was that online orders were not a priority. I entered the restaurant a couple of minutes before the specified pickup time. I let the cashier know that I was there and she informed the kitchen. The restaurant was busy and at least a dozen other Customers ordered from the counter and received their food while I waited and waited and waited. About 25 minutes after the specified pickup time, an employee informed me that everything in my order was ready, except for one hushpuppy. I had the option of waiting longer for my last hushpuppy or taking a dollar discount and leaving a hushpuppy short. I took the dollar and my 1-hushpuppy-short order. Since online orders don't seem very important to Ol' Bob's, I think the service rates 1.5 stars, but your mileage may vary if you order at the counter. read more

Wasn't the best but wasn't the worst I'd eat here again. BBQ Pork Sandwich flavor right but some bites a little dry

Kitchen is a bit slow but the Que is good. Only the second time I've been here but stopped at lunchtime today and had a very pleasant experience. Walked in an placed my order for the Jumbo BBQ Pork Sandwich with Slaw, French Fries and tea. They gave me a Styrofoam cup for my tea which I promptly filled with Sweat Tea and found a seat at a table and waited for them to call my number. Too a long time to call the number which I could not figure out because the BBQ is already cooked and chopped and how long does it take to make a sandwich. Maybe it took that long to cook the French Fries. In anycase, they called my number and I picked it up at the counter. The Sandwich was excellent. Good moist BBQ with plenty of flavor. Expected the slaw on the side not on the sandwich but that did not matter because it was good anyway. Fries on the other hand had a bit of an off taste. I suspect it's time to change the cooking oil. Place is not fancy. Just a dining area with tables on both sides, a counter where you order and the kitchen behind and what looked to be a drive through on the side. Staff is friendly and it was very good and I will be back although it's a bit out of the way for me at lunch time. read more

I have had BBQ from all over the country and this is the driest most bland food I have ever had. The slaw was also extremely bland. I would not recommend this place to anyone. The positive I can say is that the employees were extremely friendly.BBQ Tray read more

Ol' Bob's Bbq & Catering - Nasty dry BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Statesville, North Carolina

Great barbecue and wings! Ribs too! They have a wing night. Multiple sauces and slaw to choose from! Breakfast too

Not that bad but let me explain. First, I was not in a BBQ mood so I ordered the Mushroom Swiss. It was a very thick patty that was cooked well done. The small bun had been flattened and was pathetic. So it was difficult to eat and overdone. I ended up dousing it in the Golden Carolina sauce and managed to get 80% of it down. It's only getting 4 stars because I think I found the one thing you don't eat there and the sauce was good. They give you four to choose from which is pretty cool. Everyone can choose a sauce. I will try it again one day but for now I'll be eating Mushroom Swiss burgers at Hardee's. read more

This is one of our favorite places for ribs. They are the meatiest ones around. Lots of sauce options. We usually do the dry rub and add their house sauce. It's the bomb. Hush puppies are the best too. Homemade chips! All yummy!! read more

Prices are really high for what you get. Nothing to write home about. Probably won't return

Ive eaten at Ol Bobs many times sense they've opened and slowly over the years Ive stopped ordering certain items on there menu. They have become so hit or mis with their food its gotten to where I may never give them another try. Its just to expensive to order food and when you get home find its un eatable. Last 2 times I ordered their Big Ol Burger the outer edge of the burger was burnt and rubbery as if it had been soaking in Aju all day.. I understand that at times you must make food up in advance but it then has a shelf life that must be adhered to.. You Just cant sell a burger for Dinner that was made at Lunch and call that quality food... I truly hope Ol Bobs gets their act together because I love supporting local business but they have to perform to keep receiving my support.. read more

Ol' Bob's Bbq & Catering - House salad - Barbeque Near Me - Statesville, North Carolina

just went through the drive thru and added a cup of ice to my order. after I paid I realized I paid $3.60 for a cup of ice. I could have gotten a bag of ice for a dollar less. That's like a 800# profit. I think they should warn the customer before hand. read more

Friendly folks, popular place, great hush puppies and cole slaw. Ribs were not up to our expectations. It's a diner in a store front and looks as expected - and it was clean read more

I just got back with my food from Ol Bobs and I gotta say I am very impressed. The pulled pork is delicious! So tender, juicy, and the slaw just perfects it. Only complaints I have is the hush puppies, it did not look burnt but it tasted burnt, perhaps its fried in the same fryer as the wings? Also the top bun got saturated in the vinegar from the slaw but nevertheless the pulled pork was absolutely delicious! Can't wait to return! read more

I called in made sure they had my order. I got there at 10 minutes till closing. She said we poured all our tea out so no tea for the order. Note I called my order in at 7:30 they close at 8. I waited and watched her fix my drinks and asked her there are 4 burgers. They didn't fix any nor would they. I have 4 people to feed and 3 burgers. I will not be going back as their customer is bad. This was the second time they did this to me way before closing time. I work in customer service and I would never do this to my customer. read more

Kind of middle of the road bbq. There aren't a lot of menu choices that you would typical see at a traditional bbq restaurant. There was no brisket or baked chicken available. They seem to mostly offer pulled pork and ribs. The pulled pork was pretty decent, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. read more

Ordered 10 wings Hot / Parmesan garlic last night for carry out when I got home and opened up the container 10 wings with parmesan garlic just dumped on top of the wings VERY DISAPPOINTED and I paid 13.00 for 10 wings WTF read more

i quit going to ol'bob's about 4 years ago. don't remember why. went there today asked cashier if they hand paddied their burgers or were they prepaddied . he said they hand paddie all there burgers. their menu says cheeze burger 4.89 with lettuce, tomato and onions, yet they charge you .45 for a slice of tomato. i was eating my burger on the way home and noticed it tasted like shoe leather between two pieces of bread. i relized the why i quit going. read more

Great bbq and I love being able to run through the drive thru for pickup. Have visited a couple of times. Hush puppies are off the chain delicious! read more

My ribs wasn't done and it was too late to return them before they closed. I sent a email with pictures and got a reply from Mr. Earnhardt that he would forward my email to the owner. It's been over 2 weeks now and I never heard back from them. I feel the least they could do is replace my order but I guess they got my money so they don't care. read more

This is not the first time I've ordered from this establishment. I live only about 10 minutes away. I worked at KFC when I was a teenager. I always made sure the orders matched. I always took pride in my job! It seems that every time I get back home, something on my order is wrong. Tonight I was too tired to check. I am a healthcare worker and extremely busy all day. I looked forward to wings and just relaxing. I get home and I do not have all I ordered. Why does this generation think these small things aren't important? They are not out here working the long hours. I can't even take a step back from my job because they cannot find anyone to fill my position? I have been doing this for 20 years! But s everyone of that generation a dead beat? But just don't understand! read more

I live nearby so its convenient. The drive thru is great but don't mistake it for getting food quicker, its made just for convenience without having to get out of your car. I don't mind waiting for fresh food though but figured I'd let others know. The service is great. The staff know their stuff. The bbq is good, a bit dry if I'm being honest. I personally enjoy the chicken and hamburgers. Its a pretty good place. Has the downhome feel. read more

only choose this because I had too ! done a lot of online ordering . morning lady always made sure I had my butter , jelly , salt and pepper now I get nothing since she isn't there !!! bring her back soon read more

We had excellent meal there. Had the fish filet and rib dinner specials. They forgot to include the tarter sauce but we made due. The ribs, pasta salad and baked beans were all delicious! Great food quality, all very tasty! read more

I'll start by saying I have lived in Statesville for 2 years now and have never been to this restaurant. Now, I have been dieting for 2 months, working 60 hr weeks and I woke up craving a giant cheeseburger! My sister suggested Ol Bobs, she likes it. Let me tell you...I have never been more disappointed in my life ‍ My burger had been pre cooked and sitting around so long that it was dry, the meat was multiple colors of grey and the cheese had turned a dark orange and was imbedded in the bun. The only fresh thing was the lettuce and tomato (didn't get the onions I requested) Needless the say, first and last time at this restaurant. 10$ of my hard earned money that I will never get back! read more

AMAZING!! My kind of food baby! It smacks so hard I almost went into cardiac arrest! The people were sooooo nice it was sooooo beautiful! Great welcoming environment!! The hush puppies were to die for!! read more

Well we showed up for some good ol Carolina bbq but they have decided to close at 8pm when everything you look up says 9pm. Made the drive for nothing, hoe hard is it to update your information? read more

It's an excellent place to eat the food is always good. I had the hot wings I would like to for them to be in a little bit more crispier but they're also good the way they are. read more

Decent food and decent price. Place was clean and neat. Cashiers were very friendly. I would have given a 4 but for a southern BBQ joint it needs to sell crinkle fries with BBQ not the wanna-be McDonalds fries. String fries is fine for a cheap McDonalds burger but if I'm eating Southern BBQ I need coleslaw and crinkle fries. Go to Lexington you will never find shoestring fries on the menu! read more

Ordered the bbq. Very disappointed. It was very bland. The little taste it had tasted like fat, which I'm not a fan of. I won't be eating here again. read more

we have eaten here a few times, good food, burgers and BBQ and meaty ribs. good sides, like the vinegar slaw, not too harsh. big hush puppies. friendly folks. this last time they did leave our 1/4 BBQ off the #3 rib plate, so check your orders before you leave. read more

Spent the night in the area while driving home. Searched Yelp for restaurant recommendations. This restaurant came up and we decided to go based on the reviews. We are so glad we did! The ribs were awesome. They were very tender and just came off the bone. We highly recommend this restaurant. read more
