| - I've driven by this spot so many times on the 17 and finally decided to look it up on yelp. Based on the mostly rave reviews my boyfriend and I decided to give it a shot.
First off I was really excited about the mac n cheese since so many people said it was amazing. I was severely disappointed and agree with another reviewer who said it tasted like velveeta. I'm convinced that's exactly what it was. The beans tasted like watered down canned baked beans. Okay, now that the bad is out of the way let me tell you about the good.
We ordered the Q rolls as recommended and we weren't disappointed. Both sauces were tasty. We couldn't decide on what to get so we went with hog heaven to try a bit of everything. We chose the St. Louis ribs, the beef ribs, brisket, and pulled pork. Our sides were mac n cheese, beans, and roasted corn. We had to ask for cornbread.
The cornbread was good, on the caky side but still good. The roasted corn was very good, I recommend it. The brisket and pulled pork were definitely up to par. I grew up on both. They weren't quite my dad's, but still worthy of recommendation. Both ribs were fall off the bone. I hadn't has St. Louis ribs before and I wont get them again. They were on the spicy side, which I personally don't prefer. The beef ribs were very tasty and I would order them again.
After waiting for some boxes we started to look around at the other tables. The baked potatoes look awesome, stuffed to the hilt of goodness. They also had vegetables. No mac n cheese or beans in sight. We'll definitely follow suit next time.
All in all we were pleased with the experience. The main food was done right and the restaurant and atmosphere was great. The service was definitely to our liking. The 10% off from yelp was also a bonus :)
We are both huge fans of honey bears and their sauce, although as of late the ribs haven't been fall off the bone. We are considering buying honey bears' sauce and getting Bobby Q's beef ribs to go without the sauce.
