"My Phoenix work office isn't too far from the Bobby Qs off the 17 fwy on N 27th Ave. In fact, that location had been on my radar for YEARS; but, never made it out there for whatever reason. Then, one day, I found myself driving around the Biltmore area, trying to kill time before my flight and happen to be hungry. Lo and behold, I see a Bobby Qs. Meant to be? Maybe. But, sure, why not?\n\nI was there for an early lunch because it definitely wasn't crowded. The clientele were fairly well-dressed. Dressed in a zip up workout sweater, tee and yoga pants, I definitely stuck out. Service was excellent and my server was very attentive and helpful, offering suggestions and answering my questions.\n\nI ended up ordering the lunch platter sampler. My choices of meats were brisket, pork ribs and sausage. For my sides, I picked potato salad, added pecan coleslaw and it came with cornbread. The brisket was a bit on the dry side and the ribs were okay. I was told that the Q was cooked on site, but it didn't have much of that smokey flavor you would expect. When you add the BBQ sauce, it makes a decent meal. But, I'm not a fan of drowning my meat in sauce. I did enjoy the sausage and the cornbread was fantastic. The coleslaw and potato salad were kinda bland. \n\nAt $18 for the sampler platter, it's on par for what other BBQ joints charge. The plate is enough that it could easily be split with a friend or significant other. Curiosity satisfied, I just found Bobby Q just A-OK. For Phoenix, I'd rate it a 4-star. But just based on past Q experience, it gets a 3.5 rounded down to a 3 from me, since I doubt that this place will be the first that I think of, when I am craving BBQ."^^ . "1"^^ . . "3"^^ .
