One of the classiest BBQ restaurants I've ever been to. Everything I ate was good. Brisket, sausage, beef ribs, and corn bread. All fabulous. The meats were all heavily sauced. That isn't my jam. I prefer to decide for myself how much if any sauce I put on my meats but thats a small thing to nitpick. One other criticism was that the Mac N Cheese was lame. The "thank you" donuts made fresh on site were fun and yummy. I'd come back here for sure though I think you can get similarly quality food for less dollars elsewhere in the Phoenix metro. On the other hand if you are going on a date or a business lunch and want BBQ this place would be well suited.

We went on Christmas Eve. To be expected, it was busy. I was within an ear shot of the front desk as we waited (about 5 to 10 minutes) for our table. The front desk did a really good job managing server capacity and getting everyone situated. They were personable, and managed a busy restaurant with grace and efficiency. Our server was Darren (I might be spelling her name wrong). She was phenomenal. She was attentive, personable and we weren’t waiting for anything. We watched the other severs in the area really kicking butt on a busy night as well. The food came out of the kitchen much quicker than we expected on a busy night. It was great. We brought home leftovers! The portion size is very generous, the food has flavor. I’ve yet to go to Bobby-Q’s and not like what I ate. All around great job, great experience. This is why we keep coming back. The food is great as well as the service.

Wow!! This place never disappoints. Started with Q Nachos with brisket added and that was Amazing. Then had the 3 beef rib combo with potato salad and mac n cheese as the side.. Very Delicious Also the customer service we received from our waiter Calvin as well as his manager Josh was Superb...Top notch We've never been treated so nice and felt like Vip's. Calvin was on point with our food & drinks throughout our visit. Never had to ask for refills. Also they were very both knowledgeable on the items on the menu with recommendations on popular food choices. We will definitely be returning again for our BBQ fixes and will ask for Calvin as our waiter for sure.

Cal was amazing and really friendly! He helped us with the menu and gave helpful recommendations that are true to portion. We had two birthdays in our group and the free desert portions are quite large. We got the drinks in the fun glasses and it was a very nice accommodation.

Birthday dinner, beef brisket was moist & tasty. I had the beef ribs and was able to only eat one. Dessert too. Beer fries. No room to eat Dessert... ask for Calvin, superior service.

This was our first time at Bobby-Q in Mesa, and we were blown away. We walked in not knowing what to order, but the staff made the entire experience absolutely perfect. Calvin, Jennie, and Josh went above and beyond patient, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. They helped us pick out the best dishes for our whole table, and they nailed it. We ordered the Whole Hog dinner platter and the Q-Nachos, and every single bite was phenomenal. The flavors, the portions, the presentation everything exceeded our expectations. The setting was just as impressive: super clean, comfortable, and beautifully put together. It really enhanced the entire dining experience. Amazing food. Amazing service. Amazing atmosphere. 100/100 - We’ll definitely be back!

First time in Mesa, AZ and I was graving some good BBQ. I saw the pictures and reviews and knew I had to try it. This place has a really good atmosphere, great service and the food is worth bragging about! The smoked wings were on point, we really enjoyed how they were served. The cornbread was some of the best I've ever had! They have a nice and big menu, which made it hard, because I wanted to try it all! I had some amazing ribs with some tasty sides. The service goes over and beyond, explaining the restaurant since we've never been there before, asking about any food allergies and being fast and attentive with a great smile throughout the whole meal. I wish I lived closer! I will be back again!

Just because this is a bar b que place, don't be hesitant to try something different. The Chile Rellenos are the best I have ever had. Roasted, not fried. Sauce is a little spicy but really tasty. The two meat dish was good too.
