Unfortunately, the food was not the quality I was hoping for. The pork shoulder was tender, but the turkey and brisket were really dry. Mac and cheese and house made chips were delicious, but the meats didn’t deliver.

Cactus Bob's has the best BBQ around, and their sauces. They also catered for our wedding, all our guests loved it as well. I've been eating leftovers from that for a solid week and still not tired of it.

This is the worst barbecue i have ever eaten. Everything was over cooked and dried out. Like it was leftover from lunch and microwaved.
Totally disgusting, I think I saw an employee carrying a baggy of pot..Don't waste your money.

This place is underrated!!! We have driven past this place for 3 years and decided to stop and try it tonight. You walk in and get a Texas BBQ feel. My husband got the Brisket Cheesesteak sandwich and described the meat as being Smokey and tender & the cheese sauce made it even better. I ordered Papa’s Boneless wings 1/2 dry rub & 1/2 cactus bobs house sauce. Both delicious! The wings were tender & not stringy like most boneless wings I’ve had. We also ordered the fried pickles which were outstanding and not like anything we have tried before. The pickles were speared and tasted like they were candied instead of the basic dill taste. Delicious!! We will be back.

Absolutely horrible food. We ordered a couple pulled pork sandwiches, wings and sliced pork. The pulled pork was absolutely disgusting. The wi gs were rock hard. Inedible food, run down space. We threw it out and went down the street to Charlotte's.

The food was very good, I got the cheesesteak. The place was very cool had a different types of barbeque sauces on the wall. The problem was my co-worker didn't get his food for about 30 minutes. We got there about 11:20 so it really wasn't busy. Overall the food was good and well priced just wish my buddy would have gotten his food. I will definitely be back.
