BoBo’s has officially became the ONLY soul food restaurant I will go to in Rochester when i don’t feel like cooking myself lol! His food is sooo freaking good, always fresh and he gives you A lot! I spend $40+ tax on 2 dinners which isn’t bad for the amount of food and quality you’re getting. I have put so many ppl on to BoBo’s even my caucasian friends and coworkers who want to try soul food for the first time lol. His customer service is also good which I'm big on! Definitely give his place a 10 out of 10 would recommend.

Lynda Raschke

Where do I start? This restaurant is Poppin not only is it made to order ! well seasoned , about 10 pounds platters…. every side was delicious. Best wing sauce up north by far. I would kindly spend $25 on food again .. 100/10 … I will be back

Barbra D

My experience was truly outstanding! From the generous portion to the fresh and delicious food, prompt preparation, and excellent customer service, this restaurant exceeded all my expectations. I even had enough food for two people in a single container!

Fire&Shadow

The first time coming here,my family and I went here for some good soul food when we entered the place. It was a respectable environment it was clean, friendly staff, and peaceful. we placed 2 orders. The first order was the fried ribs dinner with collard greens and macaroni and cheese with a side of yams the second order was the grilled steak with yams and macaroni and cheese and a side of collard greens They give you a generous amount of food,the food was very delicious and we will be going back

Temika Turner

LaToya Wilson

This was my first time eating here and the food was delicious. I've heard so much about this place I thought I give it a try. Will definitely be back. Customer service was great which is also plus.

Everything is so great. You go in and place your order and it's a decent wait at 20-30 minutes. Place your order and go run an errand or something. Totally worth the price and the wait.

Goat Talk

PLEASE go !! The food was amazing , the service was great ! The vibes inside gave me old school cookout with the family . We came all the way from Syracuse and I would do it again .

Chuck Johnson

When a place gets the Mac n Cheese right they usually follow up with other gems. BoBo's is no different. Don't sell yourself short and skip over this place!

Jewelz beautiful

The atmosphere is made up of just a few chairs and small waiting area, I think this may be the only thing I have to say that I'd change. The food was amazing and I'm very surprised this cuisine surpassed my expectations by far. The woman taking my order took it and answered any questions I had without getting annoyed. The food was huge portions of what I had ordered. I REALLY recommend this restaurant if you have a few minutes to spare. I was told the wait was about 20 minutes and when I came back i realized it is because they make your food fresh by order. The man in the back told me to enjoy as he bagged the food, and then off i went. The Mac and cheese and yams are absolutely delicious. I ordered the shrimp dinner which was sauteed with peppers and onions and put on a bed of rice. Everything was absolutely remarkable. Thank you, and I will revisit again.

Kenneth Daniel Reed

I CANNOT get enough of those yams. So sweet but still firm, not overcooked. The cabbage is super flavorful, cooked just right. That sauce of the BOBO chicken is DELICIOUS. They are my favorite spot in Rochester!

Stephani Michelle

This place is by far one of the best food spots on the EASTSIDE! I finally tried the steak & shrimp with a double side of yams....OMGOODNESS The food was great but those yams MmmmmMmmmm (my favorite side dish) Kudos to the owner BoBo and congratulations for being around 5 years in ...and many more to come. See you all soon, keep up the fantastic work. Shout out to the entire staff.

sam c

The food here is always on point & plentiful!! You can't go wrong with any choice!

Vikki Melonz

The first time we drove out there the place was close for a few weeks. They had a sign but it wasn’t on google. We were sad because we heard great things and drove all the way up there. They don’t answer the phone so you can’t call to see if it’s open but we tried again today, so happy they were open an it was definitely worth the drive! The food portion are HUGE! I hope they never change it lol. The sauce is really good. The macaroni and cheese is okay (I like mines cheesy) but the collar green make up for it! There is a wait time but it’s not bad. I guess it just depends on when you come because we only waited around 20min. They’re black owned and I wish them so much success. I can’t wait to visit them again!

Melinda Omoegbele

I waited about 1 hr for my food. It was so cold in there becusse it is so small and it's only takeout. They forgot to give me my sauce for my wings on the side. The food was okay I think overly hyped. But.... it was good though. I think the greens were the best

Vanessa TheStylist

Food is amazing and so are the portions. Just disappointed about the wait time for food. Hopefully this will get better.

The Last of You

Whenever I google "best wings near me", Bobo's always comes up and the reviews hype all the food from this place to no end. I finally gave it a shot. Ordered a few different meals ahead of time. My order was ready before I even got there to my pleasant surprise. However, the food was only slightly above average though in my opinion. Not blown away at all, certainly did not live up to the hype, but not disappointing. Just simply decent. Wing sauce was delicious though. For the price, I wouldn't go back except maybe for the wings, they were decently priced.
