    Pupu Plate of BBQ chicken, Kalua pig & cabbage, rice, mac salad, and pork lumpia with sauce
    Travis T.

    The food was alright, it could be better. The mac salad has a little too much salt. The BBQ chicken and the Kailua pig tasted like it was reheated in the microwave. The pork lumpia with dipping sauce was okay. It took about 20 min to get the food from ordering, which was a little slow. However, this restaurant recently established so it may take a while to improve its efficiency. The inside is nothing special since it feels old-fashioned. Overall, this place is a nice addition to the dining scene of the Junction City/Manhattan, KS area.

    I've been excited to try it since they opened and the pictures really don't do it justice! Originally there was 5 lumpia but I ate one on the way home I was so excited. Super crunchy and flavorful but the sauce is what makes it happen. The Parking is really bad which is unfortunate but there's not much they can do about that honestly. The meats were very tender and good, except for the beef. The beef (pictured in the middle) was 90% inedible it was incredibly chewy and just felt like cartilage. I thought it was a few pieces but it was that whole section unfortunately, could've just been an off day. Other than that, I have no complaints! Everything was just fine and not horribly expensive either! Will definitely be back. Service was good you could tell it was a family owned business which I can appreciate :)

    They have specials every day! I got the most delicious rib tip plate on Thursday with 2 sides for…read more10 bucks! So much delicious meat I couldn't even eat all the rib tips! They were yummy and messy! Make sure you get napkins! So good they are finger licking good ! My husband got a combo 3 meat plate and he loved it too! Service staff are really nice. Treat you like family. Never been to this place before but I felt like I was home. Lots of locals being called by name. It's a place you can bring family and friends and have a good time and eat well. Nobody is going to leave hungry for sure!

    Yelp Elite ReviewBobby D's BBQ is exactly the kind of place you hope to find when you're craving…read moresolid, no‑nonsense barbecue done right. From the first bite, it was clear this spot takes pride in quality. The ribs were the standout--perfectly tender, well‑seasoned, and paired with a sauce that enhances the meat rather than masking it.Pricing is refreshingly reasonable, with most plates starting around $11+, which feels like a steal given the generous portions and overall quality. The atmosphere is comfortable and inviting, making it an easy choice for families or a relaxed meal out.Service was attentive, friendly, and efficient without ever feeling rushed. Our group of four adults and three kids came out to $116 total, and every dollar felt well spent.Bobby D's checks all the boxes: great food, fair prices, welcoming ambiance, and genuinely good service. If you're in Emporia and appreciate well‑executed BBQ, this place deserves a spot on your list.
