The new and improved Bobby Q’s is continuing the decades old tradition of good food cooked just the way it should be. We spend hours trimming and seasoning our meats with our own secret blend of seven delicate spices. We turn, baste, and slow cook the meat to achieve the amazing flavor only pit cooking the Bobby Q way can deliver. We hope you’ll enjoy it time and time again.

If I could give a 10 star rating for the staff alone I would. Not only is the food and the atmosphere nice, the staff are always so wonderful. Warm, welcoming, helpful and they all seem to truly enjoy working there. Last time we went we got to try the house made spicy cocktail sauce and it needs to stay on the menu it’s so delicious! The fried catfish and chicken is our go to and it’s always so fresh and tasty! FLAVOR FLAVOR FLAVOR!!

We heard about this place and were excited to try it! Easy stop traveling on I-40 at the Cookeville exit. Restaurant was adorable and very clean. Buffet was full of comfort food options and the gentleman serving was helpful and polite. The catfish was cooked to perfection and I couldn’t decide on which veggies so I got several. Greens, potatoes and green beans were good but the peach cobbler was truly amazing. Hubby got the brisket BBQ and loved it too! Will be making sure we stop by every I-40 trip! Next time I won’t eat so much…maybe!

We purchased 2 family combo packs to go, once we got to our location to eat the buns had mold on them. And we were to far out to be able to go back to get more so it was a let down. We had to go back after getting to the car to request the bread and pickles that were suppose to come with it. We tried to order online for to go but it was unavailable at the time, so once we got there to order they informed us it would be an additional 30 minutes if we wanted the fried chicken. We were not able to wait that long so had to get something else.

Ate here today with my boyfriend and the food was incredible but the service is why I’m giving a review. The girl at the counter, Brittany, so super personable and patient with us. She was genuinely happy to help and I loved that

My family ate there yesterday and it was fabulous! Pork plate with spicy slaw and corn pudding was so good! The ribs and smoked turkey were both good as well. Generous portions required to go boxes! It was our first time to eat there since the “new” opening and it definitely won’t be our last. Definitely a great place to go for some really excellent food and service! We are looking forward to another visit when the BBQ cravings hit us again!

My husband and I loved it. What a beautiful new design! Often I am watching my weight, but dived into the delicious full array of BBQ cuisine, with all of the sides included! It was like Thanksgiving, but totally worth it. Management has worked around the clock to save this restaurant and bring it to thriving fruition. I’d say from the looks and taste of things (all things), the community and outskirts will be most grateful.

I’m seeing a lot of recent reviews saying that this isn’t the Bobby Q’s they remember, and I’m going to agree with that. I’m also of the impression that most of them hadn’t been to Bobby Q’s in several years, either. One, because when we’d go for dinner the past couple of years, the place would be pretty empty, and two, the food had taken a definite turn for the worse since COVID hit.

My husband and I both had ribs that were very tender. The coleslaw was outstanding, very spicy!! The Mac and Cheese was super creamy. The baked beans were savory. The potato salad was good. All around enjoyable meal. We will be back. The rack of ribs can be overly tough at times.
