After a long week of hard work, my daughter and I always make a point to get together and have a nice dinner on Friday nights. We always struggle trying to find a new restaurant to add to our short list of favorites. BobbyQ made that list longer last night.
We arrived at 7:15 on a Friday night. This place was hopping. There was parking readily available so I thought we would get in right away. There were at least 40 people waiting for seating when we approached to hostess stand. She very kindly took my name and told me I would be seated in 1 hr and 15 mins. After having a light lunch, that was a long wait. So, I asked about the bar seating and was told find a spot and its yours. I hovered around the bar and found an open patio bar spot with 2 seats open. It was perfect. Plenty of space, no jockeying for elbow room. No talking over our neighbors. Absolutely perfect. Our bartender Chris was very attentive. I told him we were newbies and on a busy night he told us the story BobbyQ. He told us his favorite foods and got us some water. Said any of the 3 bartenders would take our order.
We picked the whole hog heaven, lots of food for 2 people, but allowed us to try 2 styles of ribs, 1/2 rotisserie chicken, and brisket. Also 3 side dishes for $48 bucks. There was so much food, we brought 80% home.
The service: we were immediately served the complimentary cornbread. We ordered 2 strawberry lemonade and they were great. I thought I would be charged 4 bucks each but for these speciality drinks but they were 2.50. I pay that for a Coke in most places. Settled in our seats and within mins our food arrived. And it was impressive. We enjoyed our dinner and asked for to go boxes. We packed our food and the store manager appeared ready to pack our boxes in BobbyQ shopping bag. He also brought the complimentary cinnamon donuts. Hot and yummy, we loved it. Thanks BobbyQ for a great Friday night! We will be back!
Notes: if you sit at the bar for dinner look for the outside patio seating. Not a huge fan of the Mac and cheese. Everything else Great! We'll be back!
