“I had their specialty shoe with Texas toast, queso, and pulled pork, topped with honey bbq. Delish as always! $50 for 2 adult meals, and a kids meal not terrible. The store was clean, everyone was friendly. The okra is the star of the show :)“

“The green beans are outta this world good“

“Went here tonight for a nice date and was thoroughly impressed! The food is delicious and the sauces are so well crafted! The atmosphere is clean and really has a cool industrial old train station vibe. Now, the even better part - the service is lightening quick and our waiter Nathanael was probably the best server I have ever had in any establishment I’ve visited. Will be sure to make this a regular visit when we are in Champaign.“

“Bobos is the place we go when we want that blue collar environment while eating amazing food!“

“Smoked pulled pork was good! service and establishment did not care that they made 1/2 our order incorrectly, despite being entered by the server correctly. unfortunately I had to ask to not pay for the wrong food. we waited 30 minutes for chips and cheese, but got it within 3 minutes after mentioning it to them again and seeing a table that arrived after us receive a fried appetizer before us....no apologies or care. sad to see.“

“I went there for lunch today and thoroughly enjoyed my pulled pork sandwich! Mama will take care of you here! The food was excellent! I usually don’t eat coleslaw, but this slaw wasn’t bad at all! I will definitely be going back to try more! I was too full to possibly eat another bite!😅“

“I've been to several smokehouse around Illinois. I've always said none of them compare to southern style smokehouse throughout Oklahoma and Texas as well as a few other states... today I was proven wrong. Those Ranch beans are absolutely delicious.... the chili with brisket is amazing.... the cornbread? the best...you have to try this place!“

“Delicious food with A+++ service. We ordered the Beef Bulgogi Bibimbop and the Fried Rice with Beef Bulgogi & Kimchi - both were wonderful. They provided 4 fresh, delicious sides: broccoli that was crisp with a mild peppery garlic flavor, the best potato salad I've eaten (was whipped and little sweet with just the right amount of mayo), a cold cucumber salad that's so fresh, and crunchy raddish marinated in a sweet beet juice. Perfection! We also couldn't pass up on the seafood pancake which is divine there. Shin provided top notch service helping us make decisions, encouraged adding their homemade (so yummy) hot sauce to my bibimbop, and she was so friendly too! We can't wait to return!“

“I saw this place while walking around campus and decided to come because my brother had never tried duck before. You order at a kiosk and then wait for your food. The staff was really friendly and happy to answer all our questions. I got the rice porridge soup with shrimp and it was 10/10. The duck was also amazing, they chop it up right in front of you so you can watch and it was so flavorful and chewy. The cucumber salad was fresh and spicy to help balance the richness of the duck. My brother got chicken wings which were simple but still good for anyone who is not into duck. Seating is limited, about 20 spots inside but I would definitely come back.“

“Customer service is above and beyond. Super friendly and helpful staff. Our server Fruia (?) went as far as going with me outside in the snow to assist me with parking. The manager also showed me the proper way to eat soup steamed dumplings. Food was really tasty and reasonably priced.“

“It was great service!!! The guy who waited on us was wonderful!!!“

“I have always liked lil Porgys. The meal served to me today was exceptional and the service was great. I feel like there was a small change maybe recently because it was over the top today. I had chicken and ribs.“

“The Champaign, IL location went above and beyond to make our gender reveal special last night 09/15/25! The staff and the food were top tier! We couldn't have asked for a better evening. Thank you so much again!!! We will definitely be back!“
