This place was absolutely delicious but unfortunately, I think they have closed. Going to miss the Mac and Cheese and those greens.

It's ran by a friendly owner, it has good food and no frills atmosphere. It takes him a little to get the food ready since it's just him, but it's worth the wait.

Pretty darn good. Probably the best BBQ in the local area. Like many other reviews have said, it's on the expensive side but these days what isn't expensive? Also the decor is lacking to say the least. Definitely not a dine in kind of place for a special occasion. But the #1 priority for me is the food which was good across the board. Ribs? Good. Potato salad? Different but also good. Corn bread? Also good. Tri-tip? Very good.We ordered two plates to go for 3 people since this was our first time. There was nothing left after we devoured everything. I will come back again. That's the best endorsement I can give.

That potato salad is crack and you will want more. The bbq is worthy, and the people who run it are awesome.I usually get the tri tip and ribs and double potato salad, and one piece of white toast.I also get thai food next door, and the green curry and shrimp pad see ew make an amazing dinner for 2.

Food had good flavor, peppers and onions mixed in with the meat was a nice flavor enhancement.We did believe that the sandwiches were a bit small for the price.

I like the owners of this business. They have passion for quality food and they are very welcoming. The potato salad is just okay. The real star entree is the catfish.
I really had my hopes up for this B.O.B. I really wanted some BBQ but played it safe by just ordering fish. I was always told if you walk into a BBQ place and you don't even smell any BBQ then don't order it! The fish was decent; a lil over priced being that the Potato Salad and Green Beens were not spot on! So $14 for 3 piece of fish.... Plus I gave tip to totaling over $20; NOT knowing the end result... I would say THEY came up on my Moola.

The food was amazing. Freshly prepared and very tasty. I'm glad I got a large. The service was top tier. The team was very warm friendly and welcoming.

Good food, better service - the real question is why didn't I try this place sooner?!The restaurant is located right on mission beside Red Chili and the larger plaza on the corner. The parking lot is small in the front so it's easy to miss, but y'all...don't miss it!My fiancé and I stopped by for an early lunch and lucky for us no one else was there. We got to meet and chat with PB who explained the menu and options to us. I ordered the chicken value meal with potato salad and mac and cheese and a drink ($14) and my fiancé got the bishops platter with potato salad and collard greens ($22). We also got the corn bread that PB recommended. Everything was so tasty and filling! The potato salad was delicious and I can understand why people would come back for seconds! The BBQ sauce had a kick but wasn't too too spicy where you can't taste the flavor. Great balance!The restaurant is larger than it looks from the outside with plenty of seating. If you prefer to eat at home, they're also on all the delivery sites!

I would pass by this place and always found the name pretty funny. Later learned that the owner would serve the food at church and when people would go up for seconds they would ask for "just potato salad"Today I went with my gf for an early dinner and I got the Bishops platter while she got the chicken value meal.The bishops platter came with a 4 meat sampler which included ribs, chicken, hot links, and tri tip. All the meats tasted great but the ones that really stood out were the ribs and tri tip. As for the sides I got the collared greens and potato salad. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not the biggest fan of potato salad but had to try it because it's in the name of the restaurant. But after trying this potato salad consider me a fan! Easily the best potato salad I've ever had.The owner PB was super nice and inviting. We will definitely be coming back for seconds to order the potato salad and much more.

This place is the bomb! I am originally from the south and this food just hits me right. All the meat is slow cooked and the sides are even better. Every time I come here, I leave so happy.As to the person who wrote the review on 4/15/2022 about no phones being answered, the owner of the restaurant was in critical condition at the hospital and almost died. He was forced to unexpectedly close the restaurant and didn't have a chance to make a formal announcement or change his voicemail because he went into the ER and didn't leave the hospital for like two months! Sorry you had a bad communication experience but here is the explanation to your misunderstanding. Chef Bennett is a great man and an amazing chef and we are blessed to still have him with us.
