Bobs. The smell of Bob's bbq smoke wafts in the Kalihi air and draws customers in. Phone order is the pro tip when ordering for dinner time. Cannot go wrong with the hibachi chicken plate and if you want a good deal the super combo is the way to go. Bobs always makes the day better.

A little piece of Hawaii nostalgia with this corner outdoor kitchen. You could eat there everyday for a month and not get the same dish twice!Parking: parking is intimating right on a busy street corner, but you'll find space. Just be brave and pull in.

Ordered Beef Rib plate. It's our usual. Normally we get the snack size plate but we wanted 4 ribs for us to share so opted for the regular plate. Well, after opening the plate when we got home, I was in shock that as you can see per the pic I attached, we got 4 ribs, but in actuality, 2 of it was bare bones with just burnt fat hidden in BBQ sauce with very little meat. This was barely enough for 2 people to share. Gosh, to top it off, the quality of the food definitely went down from the last time I came here. They say support local, but how when $18 plate isn't even worth it. I don't know if I'll be back again. Hopefully they improve the quality of their food.

It's been a real hot second since I have bought take out. Let me tell you how satisfied I was to finally get the mix plate. Bob's Bar-B-Que did not disappoint at all tonight. The Kalbi, BBQ chicken & Teri Beef was so delicious, reminds me of when you have a BBQ at home & you cook to have it slightly charred. The Teri Sauce is so delicious and makes the rice taste so Ono. I usually don't like macaroni salad, but their macaroni salad is one of a kind. I love the fact that they separated the macaroni salad on the side. Great service , so very quick & easy. The ambiance was perfect, and the price is super affordable compared to most BBQ places here on Oahu. I'll never forget you again BOB's

Love all the bbq here, including teri (beef) burgers with fries. I also try not to leave without a chocolate malt! Always consistently good. Will miss this location once they move.

Still the best Hawaii style Teri Beef Sandwich. They make Hawaii style plate lunches the way it should be done. Not the most glamorous place, but great food.
Went to Bob's had heard so much about it on FB. Well it was so good one of the best burgers in Mt.Home.they have billiards also the owner was very friendly will be back a lot

My family and I stopped here for lunch on a recent visit to Honolulu. We had just landed after leaving Maui and were hungry for lunch. We wanted Hawaiian BBQ and found Bob's Bar-B-Que on Yelp. We were very happy we stopped. Getting there was a bit tricky with all the rail construction in the area. We ordered two Mixed BBQ plates and got a good amount of food. The Kalbi, Chicken and Beef were nice and tender and had really good flavor. As "The Colonel" says, it was finger licking good!! It was the right choice for lunch and we had no leftovers. Bob's looks like it's been around for some time, but it appears they have a solid following, based upon how busy it was. We grabbed a table and proceeded to enjoy our lunch. It doesn't seem as if the rail construction around them is affecting their loyal customers. At least I hope it's not, since the food was ono.

The service was fast and reasonably friendly... In the image this food with the two drinks cost about $60. You can see the receipt. The barbecue is definitely not American style and personally we both agreed we would not return the macaroni believe or not was very good, but I tried to avoid it because of carbs.
Open late and never closes even on holidays. My go to when im in the area and hungry past 9pm when everything else closes smh. Ample parking, call in or walk up and order. Service is always quick. Area is all under construction now and the homeless frequent the area but the food is top notch. Always get the Bbq mixed plate with kalbi, bbq beef and bbq chicken or the hibachi chicken plate with shrimp. 5 stars??Parking: Lots of parking in front of the restaurant.

I really like this overlooked BBQ spot in Kalihi. Their BBQ beef ribs are plentiful and richly flavored. Free parking.

Stopped in and picked up a Teri Cheeseburger and fries and chocolate malt. Bobs has been located on the corner of Waiakamilo and Dillingham for as long as I can remember! It's a nostalgic place, no frills, a few open benches outside and a pretty yummy chocolate malt shake. Sitting on the bench eating my teri cheeseburger watching all the construction taking place with RAIL being built right in front of it hoping that this spot will remain through the chaos of change. The staff is always friendly and they know their regulars that frequent this place. Although prices have increased throughout the years, Im okay with my $6.50 Teri cheeseburger and $7.00 large chocolate malt, gotta support Local! Aloha

Today is my birthday. Of everywhere I could have had my birthday meal I chose Bob's because it's my favorite. I love bbq beef ribs. Not Korean bbq or Hawaiian bbw, American bbq. It's the tastiest to me. Thanks Bob for serving the most delicious food on Oahu I know of.
