Amazing BBQ Chicken, Coleslaw and BBQ Sauce. I bought a bottle of the BBQ sauce and it gets better each time I use it. Very unique flavor. If you want good BBQ in Western Washington this should hit the mark for you.

Okay so let me be clear that this isn't the kind of place You're going to rush into and really quickly get your food and get out. That's not how this works. They take time they're chatting with you they're having a conversation. There's a little elderly lady who is going to tell you all about her day. When you finally do get your food this is going to be the best barbecue you've ever had in your life. They literally have the smoker right out front you can smell it coming down the block. This is a slow burn building up to the crescendo that is excellent barbecue food so I want to hear nobody complaining about how long it took to get their food perfection takes time That being said the brisket was amazing I'm going to try the chicken next time I go in. The potato salad was great. The cornbread was great. The sweet potato pie was great. The mac and cheese was great. The only thing that wasn't a 10 and instead was like a 9.2 was the collard greens. They just need a little bit more seasoning. But everything else, best barbecue ever!

Great place to eat !!

Bob’s Bar-B-Q served up some really good BBQ! I had the rib dinner, and it did not disappoint. The ribs were flavorful, and the potato salad and baked beans were spot on. I love supporting small business owners, and this place definitely gave off those warm, Southern family vibes. I’ll be back for sure!

Looked sketch from outside, but we walked in and were hit with a wall of the smoky scent of zero regrets. The coleslaw was perfect, not too sweet, not too much vinegar. The meats (tried the chicken, brisket, and ribs) were a little on the dry side, but well smoked, and the sauce is bomb. The baked beans were nothing special, but I am completely obsessed with that coleslaw!!

With such a rich family history.....I was embarrased that the food was as bad as it was. I felt like when I walked out the place I would find people holding their stomachs with one hand doubled over with laughter and pointing at me with their other.
I kept expecting a camera crew to come from out the back along with a bunch of laughter and knee slapping telling me I got pranked......but it never happened🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️. This was a real experience😳.
Such nice people too but their food was so bad I called my 79 year old mother to tell her about their food after I ran to my car and she was upset that I finished the food and and did ask for my money back.
If you lived in a community for over 20 years and never heard of a place....there is a reason.
BBQ sauce should never be poured all over any kind of BBQ meat. It should be on the side and the well seasoned meat should actually stand on its own.
ALL of the BBQ meat was nasty.
The sauce was worse.
The potato salad was tasteless.
The macaroni was so salty that I started using it as seasoning for my meat and potatoe salad.
This is NOT Tacoma's best BBQ.....
I wanted to find out more about the family history on this place but changed my mind after my first bite. I did not want to make them uncomfortable by getting up quickly and running out the place after the second bite so I forced myself to eat all of it.
Please stop telling people its the best BBQ in town. I am sure it was a very long time ago but something tells me that Bob didnt make his BBQ that way.
There service was outstanding.
Please learn how to cook fresh BBQ meat....season your meat. Do a community taste test and get real feedback. Make all of your food from scratch.
I do not think anyone that works there has actually tasted the meat or sauce before. There is absolutely NO WAY!!!!!

By far the best BBQ you will find around tacoma. I love this place been coming here for year's and will continue as long as they are open. Highly recommend if you want some good BBQ from some nice people!

Love the down home love you get when you walk in. Good is awsome and always has that touch of love you can taste along with the smoke in the bbq.

Ok. How I've not stopped here before is crazy! First off. The service was great and everyone was so friendly. I like that when I visit a new place. We both got the two entree dinners and enjoyed ALL of it. The sauce was full of flavor and the meat cooked perfectly. The greens were delicious! We also each got dessert I went cobbler and no regrets. Thank you all for making this a great experience!!

Ordered uber eats. I got a 1 pound rib plate with greens, Mac & cheese. I also ordered a medium potato salad. With the delivery fee total was $44. Very much disappointed. Ribs barely had meat. Greens extremely salty. Mac and cheese salty as well. The only things that was decent, because it was store bought was the potato salad. A waste of my money. I almost called to get my money back…
I've lived in Tacoma all my life And being up to 800 lbs.. A brother knows good BBQ .. Bob's BBQ Pit in Tacoma on 11th street hands down is the Best BBQ Place To Get Your Eat On.... From the BBQ Ribs, Chicken, Hot Links..to the Bake Bean, Potato Salad and My favorite Mac and Cheese is the bomb ? For those layman folks.. The Food And the Customer Service is excellent. Go check out this place, ask for (Jonathan) The Manager he'll or any of his wonderful staff will take care of you. Great BBQ Big Heavy D Stoudmire
