We stopped at Bob & Ringo’s somewhat randomly after stopping for gas in Pontiac on a drive to Chicago. This was in the early evening of Mother’s Day Sunday, and they were out of some items due to the lunch crowd earlier in the day. We had ribs, sweet potato fries, and Mac & Cheese. All of the food was very good. The service, Jennifer if I remember correctly, was also very friendly and prompt.

This place is a hidden gem! The pulled pork nachos were great, good portion for sharing, the mac and cheese is solid, very creamy, a little peppery. The bartender was nice, the server was nice, prices were reasonable. They have a good selection of bottled beer, and the bartender made a good whiskey sour.

Took a little longer because they were unexpectedly sat with a large party (25+), but they made up for it and gave us some free fries. Got a pulled pork sandwich and mac n cheese for a side. Food was amazing!

Got carryout from here with a gift card I purchased from a fundraiser. Great food and looks like a great place to hang out on the weekends. Highly recommend the smoked wings.

The service is awful. The drinks are tiny. The pastrami is not pastrami. They tried to pawn off pulled pork as pastrami. I worked in NYC. I know Pastrami. What would one expect in BF Pontiac?
