As a german I thank you and America for this unique experience. There are some BBQ restaurants in Germany, but none of them so enthusiastic equipped with a smoker or something like that I've seen so far. Thus, a whole new experience eating the delicate rips and brisket. However, the BBQ sauces not all meet my taste, two of them nontheless very tasty. The prize is adequate in accordance to the amount you get, although a tip of over 10% is pretty high for us Europeans, so forgive us, we are not used to this :) Definitely a reccomendation!Enjoy your meal,Potatohead Fabian

Best barbecue I have had this far North. The brisket sandwich was great. The collards were a bit more spicy than expected, but delicious none the less. The service was also great. Overall, it exceeded my expectations. I would definitely return.

Order the chicken pitmaster after seeing it posted a few weeks ago we decided to make a trip to go try it. Needless to say I wasn’t very impressed with really any of it, the best thing on the plate was the pickles that tasted like cucumber salad. All of the meat on the platter was barley warm, the Nashville chicken which I was looking forward to wasn’t anything special, the breading was good but didn’t stick to the chicken and the flavor didn’t taste like Nashville style at all, the chicken itself was almost slimy. The smoked wings were rubbery and barely had any smoke flavor, the bbq chicken was rubbery and didn’t taste smoky, the pulled chicken was ok, and the Texas twinkie was barely warm in the middle, bacon was like rubber. I probably won’t be returning after this visit, there are so many better and consistent bbq places to eat at.

Our favorites on the menu are the ribs, mac & cheese, beans, onion rings and mashed potatoes. You can’t go wrong with their food!

Not at all the food the ratings would suggest. The brisket was dry, chewy, and not terribly pleasant, and the cornbread wasn't "right" - that's hard to quantify, though.The prices were high even for NYC where I'm coming from, and vastly more so for a smaller city.All in all, I was not happy with the food and wouldn't return if this is what is expected for the norm here.

The food was amazing and the service was great! So impressed by the barbecue sauces and food we are served. Collard greens were on point, with the perfect amount of spice. We were only in town for three nights, and we came back here twice!

I’ve enjoyed the food the other few times I’ve ordered from here, but this past weekend my friend and I ordered the same meal and got food poisoning. Really disappointed, probably won’t be eating here again.
We were seated in the patio and the cleanliness was a bit off. The food was decent and could have done better by not having a lot of bbq sauce on the bbq. Maybe next time we can suggest them to have it less.

I've ordered Fat Bob's Mac and cheese several times and always loved it. I recently had an order of Buffalo Chicken Mac and Cheese which is what I typically order. What a disappointment! Whatever cheese they are using now is white and flavorless and the macaroni was swimming in a greasy yellow substance. Never again
