Bob’s BBQ is a local honey hole! If you are driving by, don’t even question your self—PULL OVER! The locals know they are blessed and believe me I’m jealous! My husband and I travel often and always plan to stop here for a late lunch when we are traveling south on 81 during their open season! The brisket, the pulled pork, the ribs, the salt potatoes, the sauces—need I go on! You are getting your moneys worth here people, what more can I say! Just be sure to specify what type of Brisket you prefer; fatty or lean. My husband and I always leave with our belly’s bursting and a frown that we don’t live closer! I can’t forget to mention that they even have a few dessert options as well. The atmosphere is so fun and enjoyable. There are hidden tables spread out across the property and places for even kids to play! Feel free to eat in the more communal areas, where you can spy on your neighbors meaty selections—or explore the grounds and discover hidden, well landscaped, secret garden spots—for a quieter afternoon picnic. Get out and support your local pit masters people, this place is pure meaty BBQ gold!

This is a great short trip up 281 after getting off 81 in Homer. A little pricey but worth it. See for yourself on the menue pics I took today (May 18.) This is as good as anything as I had anywhere in the south or midwest. YES! The atmosphere is quite cool as there are picnic tables privately dispersed throught a well manicured out door area. Its almost as if you are camping temporarily. Very private yet very public. It is a nice change of pace. They do cater as well as they have a large covered paved area for rent so you know it's a good place for a huge get together. It is nice not having to drive to the south for great outdoor true bbq.

Another excellent meal at Bob's BBQ! No wait. Pleasant service. Great food. We got a brisket platter, a pulled pork platter, and a pork ribs platter. The salt potatoes are a must, as is the corn on the cob. Their cornbread was outstanding. Family-friendly, park-like atmosphere. A local favorite.

When you see a roadside stand you may question the choice but Bob's BBQ was great. Portions were huge. My wife and I shared a combo and we were both full. Plenty of parking and lots of places to eat outside in their garden areas. Restroom look like Port John's but have toilet and flushes. Outside sink to wash up. Very pleasant stop you will not be disappointed.

Park like setting....outdoor picnic tables many which are separated by shrubs....most BBQ favorites, may seem pricey but my small rib dinner could have and will feed 2.

Went to Bob's BBQ on a whim..got 2 Stewart's Sodas, delicious..a Pull Pork/ Brisket w/ 2 Ribs combo with cornbread and potato salad and a 1/4 Chicken, Brisket and Rib combo with Macaroni salad and cornbread, both came with extra slice of bread ..all really good, liked the salad, cornbread but was super dry but my husband loves bbq so all around good dinner thought it was expensive..$76 for 2 combos.

So my wife in great fashion tells me love there is a BBQ place getting good reviews and it's only a short drive away so we hop in the car and drive to the middle of no where and find this cute little BBQ spot just surrounded by trees and shrubs. So we both order different combo platters and share what we could lmao. The food was delicious and definitely we will be coming back this summer.

Took a trip out to Homer recently to try out some BBQ at Bob's Barbecue and it really lived up to it's reputation. Ordered the big box dinner (1/2 chicken, 2 ribs, brisket and 2 sides)...enough food for two. It is really worth the drive...

pricey. meats are a bit overcooked, dry. not much smoke. they are probably cooking at a higher temp to shorten cook times. take out so they don't have indoor and wait staff operating expenses, you would think the prices would reflect this. solid average

Service here is a little confusing if you show up without a line, but easy enough to figure out. Service was a bit slow compared to other places I’ve been, but the staff is really friendly and willing to answer any questions I had about the food. We were second in line and beat the dinner rush so the slowness was fine by me. Lines build pretty easily though as a result. Got the brisket and pork combo with an add on of 2 ribs. Person I was with got the dark meat chicken and coleslaw so I got to try those as well. Ribs - Delicious and probably the best thing I got as a whole. Pork - The top half was good, especially when paired with the tangy mustard sauce they have. The bottom half of the serving I got was drenched in fat/grease/oil and I didn’t end up finishing it. Brisket - Chopped really fine and completely coated in grease/fat. Likely the worst brisket I’ve ever had. I ended up throwing it out. It reminded me a bit of food I’ve fed my cat. I see other pictures with whole pieces of brisket that looks good, so my group may have just gotten the bottom of the barrel left overs. Chicken - Seemed solid based on the bite I stole. Not as good as the rib or the first half of my pork, but still good. Potato Salad - Mayo based. I liked it, but it needed salt which is provided on the tables. Corn Bread - Dry and crumbly. Once I bit into it the whole thing fell apart. Flavor was okay, but I wouldn’t recommend it. Edible unlike the brisket, but not great. Coleslaw - Good flavor, but way too liquidy and mushy. Texture was terrible. I think the cabbage was shredded too finely. If it wasn’t so far away I’d consider coming back again in hopes of getting a different batch of food since the ribs and first half of the pork was good. As it stands if I’m in the area I’d consider swinging by for another visit, but I wouldn’t take a dedicated trip.

I always enjoy going to Bob's bbq. On a good day all the food is normally really enjoyable. I decided to go opening weekend this year, so not sure if it was a good idea. I got two 1/2 chicken dinner plates with 2 sides each(3 salt potatoes and 1 baked bean) The chicken was dry but had a really good flavor. The salt potatoes definitely could've used more salt and the baked beans tasted like pure brown sugar and bbq sauce, way too sweet for my liking. I also decided to get desert, 2 slices of key lime pie(picture attached with credit card to show size comparison) literally not much bigger than a credit card. The pie slices were priced at $4.50. In my opinion they were overly sweet store bought no-bake mix you can make at home yourself. Not worth 4.50 for the size you get. Today's trip was definitely not worth the wait in line in the cold wet rain
