Reviews
"Food on point. 2nd time here and was made quick and tasted amazing. Triple Pig, Texas Chili, and BBQ kettle chips in picture."
"Went in ordered the copper canyon. They didn't have sausage, so I had to pay to sub in brisket for the sausage. Got my pop, no carbonation. Got some hot BBQ sauce and realized the nozzle was blocked by dry sauce them realized almost every bottle was also blocked. Sat down and found out the fried pickles I ordered were quartered sweet pickles and were pretty gross, and they gave me chicken that I didn't order. Also didn't get the Mac n cheese I ordered."
"Overall the group of 5 was not overly impressed. Three of us got the long horn, one got the crispy chicken sandwich, and I got the pulled pork. Those who got the brisket found it to be dry without sauce. Pulled pork was ok and chicken slightly dry. The mac n cheese was underwhelming and may have been better without the breadcrumbs. Despite this, they have a great range of Pepsi products and a nice cozy family friendly atmosphere. Maybe it just wasn't our night and I encourage everyone to try cactus bobs to find out themselves.(after all everyone like bbq differently). If I'm ever in town I would try this place again but would choose a different meal."
"Stopped here tonight after watching the Man vs. Food challenge episode. In general, I don't rate order-at-the-counter restaurants with plastic utensils highly, so that took it's toll on my rating. We both really liked the bbq kettle chips that are made fresh there, so I highly recommend them. We both thought my Saucy Pig sandwich was better than my wife's Longhorn Brisket sandwich. They just didn't stand out as clearly above average, as we are starting to become a bit particular with our barbecue. We did enjoy trying several of the very hot sauces on our meat, but we're not big fans of the pickles (mushy to my liking) or the macaroni and cheese (bland and reminded us both of Kraft from the box). Food: 3 (bbq kettle chips were a 4) Atmosphere: 3 (plastic utensils and trays) Character: 3 Service: 3 (counter order, self clean up, but friendly) If you found this review helpful, please click on 'Like'."
"This was my first time here. The food was decent. The onion rings were very good. I live out of town so I likely won't make it back here. This is a place that my parents frequent quite frequently, at least once a month."
