It is seldom that I defer to the overall rating of a business on Yelp, but this is one of those times. Even with the lower number of reviews, it just seems extreme. So here's my suggestion; read my review and any/all of the others, but take the time and try Bobby's for yourself. I had an amazing experience, which I'm getting to, and thoroughly enjoyed the food. I will start by mentioning that this place was recommended to me by someone who was born and raised in Augusta. They stated more than once that this was the best spot for barbecue in the area. And after 15 years, I finally listened to them. I had had a barbecue hankering for over a week so I knew either I would decide on a spot and go or continue in this daily misery for perpetuity. Also, I was very hungry. And that's when Bobby's came to mind. New (to me), barbecue, and a buffet. This could either be a meal I wouldn't forget or one I wish I could. The location isn't that far from any point in the CSRA so don't let that be a hesitation. And the parking lot is huge. That's due in part to them having a second building solely as an event space (something I will be sure to remember). The restaurant (inside and out) feels like a giant cabin. And the team here is just as warm and welcoming. Now I don't know if they have other options besides the buffet (I had a singular focus), but I will mention that you can add ribs to the buffet (I will save that for another visit). Another marker that it was going to be delicious was the loaf of white bread at the front of the line. Actually two. More country cooking sides than your grandma on Thanksgiving, with pulled pork, chopped pork, and fried chicken to eat on. Everything that I had (which was everything on the buffet) was delicious. And when I reached my lunch capacity, I turned my eyes to dessert (because there's always room for dessert). They have a ice cream machine (vanilla, chocolate, and swirl) and a giant pan of banana pudding! You already know what I went for...twice. If it weren't for the sweet tea keeping me awake, I fear I might have taken a nap in the booth. I had a great first visit and it will NOT be 15 years before I visit again.

It's been a few years (pre COVID). As expected it did not disappoint. Just as I remember, spectacular BBQ. Keep up the good work, I will return.

For the first time since COVID, I got to enjoy a buffet. Met up w/a couple of friends who recommended this place and it was very satisfying. I was skeptical after reading the reviews but some people are just hard to please and they won't ever be happy no matter what. Our server(Cathy) was sweet and attentive and there were plenty of food options. You can't beat the price $10 for lunch. While the chopped and pulled pork was kinda bland, the sauce made up for that. My favorite thing was the hash and rice. Fried chicken was good too.

Me and my family live in Buford Ga where bbq is almost none extincted they dont cook it right and dont know what skins are. So we have to drive 4hrs to Bobby's bar b q just to have the most greatest tasting bbq and hushpuppy and oh yes the skins we love em. It makes our trip rewarding when we get there. And yes we always have to take some home with us. Bobby's bar b q is the greatest. Keep up the good work Bob jr. We love ya. Mary Jean hull

So... Stopped on our way home from Aiken... Saw it looked it up on here and we were surprised by the reviews... Saw the Stars and were a little reluctant to go, so glad we did. There Sunday Buffet was great. Food that I grew up on and love. Great pulled pork, not a fan of mustard sauces but the one they had was great. There other assortments of food on their buffet...so good. I guess this will be one of those place that depends on when you catch it...maybe. But it was good food when we went. Enjoy...
