Today was my first time eating at Bob’s, and I was not disappointed! I ordered the Ultimate Brisket Sundae, and it was packed full of flavor! It consists of a layer of sweet corn casserole topped with slow-roasted, smoked beef brisket, sautéed onions, diced tomatoes, Lancaster Smoky-Chili BBQ sauce and BBQ remoulade. Run and get yourself some now!!!

It was rather expensive. The macaroni was way over cooked. The cheesy fries where as pictured and tasted like sour cream. The baked beans were way too sweet and also over cooked having the consistency of a paste. The fries weren’t very good either. They were rather cold.

BBQ sauces were great. Pulled pork sandwich could have had more meat, but very good. Sides (beans, fries, cheese taters) were good. I would go back.

The last 2 times I have actually ordered food from here, it has been super disappointing. All you get are small pieces of meat. Then, it is wrapped in paper. The pulled pork had some nasty stuff in it. Horrible idea/concept. I will never order from here again if it does not change.

I went to two different barbecue restaurants in Logan Ohio and they were not available. It stated that there was a 2-hour wait. So I Googled best barbecue in Lancaster and it suggested Bob’s Backyard Barbecue. I love their Smokey BBQ sauce on pulled chicken sandwich. The cheesy potatoes were perfect. I’m the type of person that will tell you if your food is not good. It would have been better if the restaurant was not cold. It was extremely freezing in the restaurant so we went up the street to watch a movie at Zane Square (Veteran’s Park). It was a great experience. I would have had a better time if it were not for three obnoxious and rude kids. They were like nails on a chalkboard. The top of kids that know they were bad and still continued to be obnoxious.

Visited on a Saturday evening, the Pulled Pork was decent. But let me tell you, as a Southerner the mac & cheese was DRY as a dust! And what is BBQ without sweet tea? I’ll come back when I know what day Mac and Cheese is made!

New for us! Hubby brought us here for lunch today. We were greeted with a welcome as we entered. Pete walked us through the menu. He described the food and answered our questions about the food. We both ordered the Bob’s BBQ Monte Cristo, which is a pulled chicken, garlic aioli, sweet barbecue, sauteed onions, and swiss cheese. My sides were the Mac and Cheese and corn casserole while he got the slaw and fries. The sandwich was pretty OMG on the flavor. So many layers hit your palate sequentially, the smokey, tang, sweet and garlic. Chicken very tender. The mac&chz and corn casserole had an underlying hint of sour cream which was good. The slaw was not very sweet but a subtle tang. Overall, definitely tasty, delicious food. This is a must when in Lancaster! We will Definitely be back!!!
