tried bobby-q for dinner one evening while out in phoenix. tried a platter with brisket, baby-back ribs, beef ribs, chicken, potato salad, beans andmac& cheese.
absolutely everything was covered with a very thick blanket of sauce. do you know what that means? it means you are only supposed to taste the sauce because the meat probably doesn't have enough flavour to stand on its own.
everything we ordered was overcooked. i don't blame the restaurant for this as they probably make it that way to please the public which generally doesn't know any better. ribs aren't supposed to "fall off the bone" if cooked properly, but they certainly do here. they cooked the absolute living hell out of everything we received.
what they fall short on in meat quality they try to make up for in quantity. there is absolutely no chance you will leave this place hungry. there is no chance you will leave this place without a doggy bag or without eating more food in a single sitting than the human body was ever designed to.
where they go wrong with the meat, however; they get right with the sides. the sides were fantastic. the beans, potato salad andmac& cheese were no joke. they were very, very tasty. giving full respect where it's due.
if smoking your own meat isn't your thing you will probably really love this place. if you enjoy making your own than steer clear in order to avoid disappointment.
