As a Business Management major, I take pride in organizing meaningful events and working with local vendors. I invited Bobbie Lane’s food truck to Millikin’s Sibs & Kids weekend — a well-organized, family-friendly event with great potential for community connection. They showed up, barely looked around, said “this looks like nothing,” and left — without speaking a word to me, the organizer who personally invited them. No communication, no courtesy, no professionalism. Not a great way to build a relationship. I’ve spent years studying what it means to build a strong, reputable business — and this experience was a clear example of how not to treat partnerships or opportunities. I’ve learned that showing up with respect, being flexible, and valuing people is everything. That’s the kind of business I’m working toward. I personally love to support small businesses but not this one unfortunately. We created a space. We showed up. They didn’t.

One of my favorite places in town. Can’t beat that Texas trio deal. It’s always enough to eat until full and have leftovers the next day. The huge whiskey collection is always fun to explore. Highly recommend!

Restaurant is clean and the wait staff is always friendly! The food is delicious with generous portions for the price you pay. I get the half Avon shoe and have plenty to take home for lunch - which quickly turns into a late night snack. If you’re a fan of the brisket, ask for the burnt ends - so good!

We had a wonderful dinner at Bobbie Lane’s a few nights ago- waitress was awesome, food was great, and atmosphere allowed us to feel comfortable having our toddler there with us! We will definitely go back!

Had a wonderful meal and just happened to be there when they were playing music trivia. Great fun. The chef salad has enough food that I always take home as much as I eat at the restaurant.

Bobbie Lane's is a Family run business! Over the course of the last couple of years, we have had the pleasure of dining at this fabulous, family owned restaurant. Brandon and Ashley and their awesome girls, Natalie and Payge, make Bobbie Lane's much more than just a place to grab a bite to eat. This is home! You get a personalized "Welcome" when you walk thru the door and you get treated to the best BBQ in town along with some great conversations along the way!! Will always recommend to anyone looking for great BBQ options!

We absolutely LOVE this place! Very impressed when the owner took our order, cooked it and served it to us. That happened to be the first time there and we have been back numerous times AND brought our family when they were here from Iowa! I also LOVE Brandon’s awesome reviews of other establishments! I don’t think I’ve ever seen that happen before! Overall-Amazing people and amazing food!!! Keep up the good work! ❤️

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Bobbie Lane’s BBQ, and it was an absolute treat! The ribs and brisket were tender, juicy, and packed with smoky flavor. The mac & cheese was the perfect comfort food, creamy and cheesy with just the right amount of crunch on top.

One of the standout features of Bobbie Lane’s BBQ is their amazing selection of house-made sauces. Whether you like it sweet, tangy, spicy, or somewhere in between, they've got a sauce for every palate.

The service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who made us feel right at home. The fun atmosphere added to the overall dining experience, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal with friends or family.

And let's not forget the great Old Fashioned! It was expertly crafted and the perfect complement to the delicious BBQ.

If you're a fan of BBQ, Bobbie Lane’s BBQ is a must-visit spot. Highly recommended!
