Customer Reviews
I love Bob Sykes! I normal get a Big Bob sandwich and red velvet cake, but since it was Tuesday I got a chicken taco.
We were really looking forward to eating here again after so many years, but unfortunately, the food quality has gone downhill compared to what it used to be. We stopped in while visiting family and decided to order a chicken and turkey platter along with another chicken platter. The portions looked fine, but the flavor and texture were disappointing. The chicken was dry and lacked seasoning, and the turkey tasted more like it had been baked in an oven rather than slow-smoked the way it used to be. It’s always disappointing when a place that once had great food loses its touch. The service was fine and the restaurant was clean, but the food just didn’t deliver. We left feeling let down and probably won’t be back unless things improve. Hopefully, management takes notice and brings back the
I stopped by for a cheeseburger review. The burger was ok. Friendly atmosphere. Packed house at lunch time. Check out my video review on the cheeseburger. Bama Burger Reviews on Facebook, TikTok and Instagram.
I come from a bbq restaurant family. In Boston, Ma. My hard learned clues are, if there is a line or full parking lot and most of all if you can smell it before you see the actual restaurant. I saw the sign and still didn’t smell it. But lot was full and a line at the drive thru. So I went in to find, pictures below. A smoker pit is a solid positive. Still on alert I ordered 2 bones to see what I would taste before I spent $30 on a disappointing slab. NOT. DISSAPOINTED. I ended up getting $46 worth of food with perfect potions for that amount. I’d want better vegetable selections. But I came in for the Q. And that was worth a rerun trip
I had the chopped chicken plate coleslaw and baked beans. I also got the Strawberry shortcake. Good exceeded my expectations. The chicken was good with the BBQ sauce. Slaw and beans were excellent. The portion was big enough for my lunch and dinner. The strawberry shortcake was the best I’ve had in years. It comes with a cup of strawberry drizzle either real strawberries. PERFECT!!!!
