Most Disliked
Though many rave about the food, some visitors point out the busy Saturday evenings, which can lead to longer wait times. Peak hours attract crowding, detracting from the otherwise cozy vibe. A few diners wish there were more dessert choices, highlighting the popularity of items like banana pudding, and the disappointment of frequently running out.
Another aspect that could improve is signage outside. Newcomers sometimes have trouble locating the entrance amidst the other businesses. Although parking is available, the rush makes finding a spot tricky during peak times. Despite these minor inconveniences, patrons generally agree that the incredible BBQ makes it worthwhile.

After seeing the smoking pig out front many times I finally stopped in on my way home from work for the first time. I am so happy that I did! The food was Amazing!!! I wasn't sure what or how much to order to feed my family but the owner took great care of me and made it easy! Everyone there was incredibly nice and attentive and even opened the door for me when I was leaving. I did miss out on the corn bread and banana pudding but will definitely have to get there earlier next time so I can give it a try too.

I’ve been to this location several times and every single time it’s the best BBQ I’ve ever had! I’ve had some good BBQ food too and I would definitely rate Robert’s BBQ #1! I’ve even tried Big Lees. Pulled pork & brisket is my favorite! Thanks again for filling my cravings!!

Just happened to stop by on a random Google maps food search, and I picked the closest thing. ………… BLOWN…….AWAY!!!!! This food was amazing!!!!! Ordered the chicken and the pork pineapple rice bowls, along with a chicken loaded potato. Each had their complete individual flavors. The smoked flavor 🤤! Easily the best food I’ve had in a very long time. Their food is AMAZING. AND….. aesthetically pleasing. Just look at that! We brought our to go order down to Sun Toyota to eat and wait for service, and everyone was asking where we got our food from. 10 outta 10. You will not regret it!!!

Robert’s Smokin BBQ 2 was a pleasant experience. I ordered a smoked salmon meal and my son got the ribs. The atmosphere was nice and the food was delicious. I especially enjoyed the wonderful cornbread! The BBQ sauce is excellent! I highly recommend Robert’s Smokin BBQ to anyone who wants authentic well prepared food in a good atmosphere!

BBQ was awesome. We tried a bit of everything. Our favorites were the burnt ends and the grilled meatloaf! We had mac n cheese and yellow rice for sides which were yummy. You cannot have BBQ without banana pudding for dessert. Yum. Everyone working was friendly.

Fall off the bone which is the way I like ribs. The potato salad is from Sam's which has just the right amount of mustard - just enough to lightly taste. They have a good amount of sauces for individual taste. Service was quick and friendly. The price was competitive. I will definitely be back when passing through.
