| - In a word: WOW!
As I've said in previous reviews, Traci and I are fortunate to live in the 85018 with so many fantastic restaurants in the area - practically within walking distance.
As others may have said, this is a crowed Safeway shopping center, and it starts with parking. Don't get all crapped out trying to find a place to park if one's not nearby the restaurant. Learn the local way - use the complimentary valet parking area dedicated to the two restaurants just to the north of the restaurant off 32nd Street. You'll see the signs.
Bobby Q's has big shoes to fill - the real estate / lease costs for this space has spiked dramatically over the years. Mexx32 was awesome, and Lenny made that cool place work to his credit, but Bobby Q's gutted much of the restaurant to enhance the bar/patio/seating, so they have made an incredible investment in the place. Was it worth it? We think so! Six to eight months of the year they'll benefit from the patio/bar combo area - which we love in a restaurant. Very inviting, friendly and an open greeting when entering. Terrific addition!
As we all know, service is key to a successful restaurant, so they did the smart thing: Got a bartender who knows his stuff and who has worked for them at another location in the Valley. Chris knows his way around the menu and the cocktail choices. He was helpful and knowledgeable. He recommended two of his favorite 'brown liquor' choices and we were not disappointed. Both delicious and beautifully presented.
The rubber meets the road with good food, and the melt-in-your-mouth cornbread did not disappoint in getting our appetite in high gear. Because it was our first time in (and won't be our last for sure!) we decided to try the "Whole Hog Heaven". GREAT call! A little of everything... Perfect for 2 or 3 people if you bring your appetite. We just about finished it - but not quite. Delicious, smokey, tender and flavorful baby back ribs or beef ribs (Pick both) AND your choice of two: pork, prime brisket, sausage or chicken. AND three sides (think the best BBQ choices in your mind and they'll be there). Bottom line: we liked EVERYTHING. But If there was one criticism - it's the beef ribs are work. They're not 'fall off the bone' like the baby backs. A bit messy, but delicious.
Ultimately, we had a fantastic meal! Great service! Amazing ambiance! What more do you need or want? Highly recommend going to Bobby Q's! You'll be able to personalize your meal and your head start is checking out their menu before you go. A must - just be prepared for your mouth to start watering! :) Enjoy!
