| - I stopped in Bobbee O's last night, as it's been on my "things that I pass by every day on my commute to work, but I've never been to" list.
First impressions----(I figured I was going to get my meal to-go anyway), but this place appears to be a heavy takeout type restaurant. There was no one inside, and the place had maybe one or two tables.... made no difference to me, but thought I'd point that out.
With no prior knowledge of the menu, stepped up and ordered instinctively: pulled pork plate, baked beans, fries, ice tea....standard bbq fare. After taking my order, and filling my tea, I sat down next to "Bobbee O" to enjoy some of the evening news. Food came pretty quickly, and I was on my way.
Let me agree with some of the prior reviews: the actual BBQ was great, the sides needed some work. It was a very generous portion of pulled pork, which was mildly sauced--and came with a small additional portion of a really delicious sweet style sauce (ITS ALL ABOUT DA SAUCE, says Bobbee O). The fries were really large, kind of like potato wedges, and the baked beans seemed canned--just infused with onion and green peppers....I'd like to see them add either Potato Salad or Brunswick Stew to their side items, and hopefully prepare them with as much care as they take the meat & sauce.
I actually saved most of the pork, and created a pretty fantastic BBQ sandwich for lunch the next day.
To me, BBQ joints are innately independent and homegrown, and I always try to visit spots like this whenever I can.
