| - First review of the new year! We celebrated a 'Q Year's Eve at Bobby Q and left quite full and satisfied! Making reservations was easy through OpenTable, and when we found out we needed to add a few more people to our table I called the restaurant and asked if they could accommodate us. The hostess was so nice and gracious, going out of her way to find a way to squeeze the extra people into the reservation system.
The restaurant itself is right off the 60 and Stapley. You can't miss it when you get off the freeway. This whole street can be called "Restaurant Row" due to the number of eateries here! We were offered the choice of sitting inside but waiting a few minutes or sitting on the covered heated patio outside on a high-top. We went with the outdoor seating and it was quite pleasant. The high top chairs were comfortable, and the table was made from a huge piece of natural wood slab, a cool unique touch. The patio seating was also quite nice since the heaters were very powerful and kept us comfortably warm for the whole night.
The menu offers BBQ obviously, with other options such as salad, steak, chicken, and seafood. 3 of us split the Whole Hog Heaven, a mighty platter with your choice of 2 types of ribs, 2 types of meat, and 3 sides. We decided on the beef ribs, baby back ribs, beef brisket, and pulled pork. We also had the mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, and pecan coleslaw as sides.
The platter was indeed a magnificent sight to behold. Of all the meats I enjoyed the pulled pork the most. It was tender, moist, with a good balance of smoke flavor and seasoning. The beef brisket looked to have an admirable smoke ring and was also tender and well seasoned. Of the two ribs I liked the baby back ribs the most. My favorite of the sides was the mac and cheese. It was the perfect balance of creaminess, cheesiness, with a velvety smooth texture and nicely cooked macaroni pasta. The mashed potatoes had a bit of a sour tang to it that I wasn't a big fan of, but they were creamy and smooth, and while I typically enjoy the pecan coleslaw, our side had a gigantic chunk of cabbage leaf in it that wasn't shredded, not good eats!
Service was warm and friendly. Drinks were refilled as needed.
The Whole Hog Heaven can probably satiate 4 regular size appetites. We would have had leftovers enough for one more portion if it weren't for my husband's black hole for a stomach. :)
Before you decide on dessert, make sure you'll have room for both paid dessert and the lovely free cinnamon sugar donuts they give you at the end. They were warm, soft, and delicious!
Overall, I prefer this Bobby Q over the one in Phoenix due to the location which is closer to where I live. I'll definitely be back for more 'Q!
