Our authentic BBQ starts in a live-wood smoker stoked with genuine hickory logs. Our pitmasters hand-rub the meats with a custom blend of spices and cook for hours to extract the natural flavors. We source the highest quality meats and trim them up like we’re in a competition and hand-rub them with the freshest seasonings available to create mouthwatering experiences! In addition to our BBQ and grilled meats, our menu features a selection of salads, sandwiches, side items, and made-from-scratch desserts.

    All staff were friendly. Brayden was an awesome server. He helped with menu items, was knowledgeable, fast with refills and overall very personable. The food was delicious. Our son just got engaged, so we tried the Sweetheart Pizookie and it was so yummy with the chocolate shell chocolate that you pour on top. I loved the interaction with the dish. Great dinner. We will be back soon.

    Booked a last minute reservation here and had a wonderful time. Food was served very quickly, the brisket and ribs were both extremely tender and very flavorful. Steak was delicious as well and a good size- loved the onion topping, cornbread and shrimp appetizer was just as good. Ambience was nice, dining room wasn’t too loud and our server was very quick and attentive. Pricey but definitely worth it, Bobby Q’s just might be our new date night spot.

    Too noisy for our taste. However, service was great all around. Nice views with tables by the large windows. Large portions. Great wedge salad. Filet cooked perfectly and was the pork chop. Tasty sides are included. They know how to mix a cocktail!! We will be back. If the noise doesn’t bother, this is a definite go to place
