When we saw on twitter that @sarahsdoowopdos was knocking back the cocktails at BBQ Bob’s last week we messaged her straightaway to get the lowdown on the newest eaterie in town. Here’s what she had to say:
We visited mid-week and were advised by others to book as it gets busy and we were going out with a few friends.
First impressions are great, it has a warm, friendly feel and a family American restaurant vibe, similar to ones we’ve been to in the States.
The bar area looks great and they do a good list of cocktails & having sampled them I assure you they are delicious, plus they have American beers including our fave San Francisco beer, Anchor Steam. Here are some pix (you might notice a theme…):
They service was super friendly and the food was amazing, unfortunately a few things weren’t available but as they explained when the only BBQ once a day you have to get there early. I think that’s understandable and just proves how fresh & home cooked it all is.
My ribs were really succulent and the others had homemade burgers which they loved and we sampled a few sides, including a yummy mac and cheese plus some of the best chicken wings I’ve ever eaten! We finished with a mix of desserts, the guys had Key Lime pie and a chocolate mud pie that was incredible and us girls decided for go for a ‘hard’ milkshake, which means you add booze! You haven’t lived till you’ve tried a rum and banana milkshake!
Basically the food’s great, the place is welcoming & it’s a lot of fun, a welcome addition to Bedford; no wonder they are already so busy!
You can find BBQ Bob’s at 12 Mill Street, call them on 01234 364041 or visit their website.
