Ol' Bob's Bbq - Statesville

I 'm not much for one to do reviews, but... 1) The dining room was disgusting there were stains everywhere from spilled drink and food. Everything was sticky on the table and the huge sauce squeeze bottles looked like they hadn 't had a good cleaning since opening.. some had tape stuck around the top to hold it to the bottle. 2) The restroom was not clearly marked. 3) The girl who took our order was very sour looking.. didn 't even smile when we first walked in to place our order. 4) I ordered the number 6 (bbq tray)and when they say tray.. that 's exactly what they mean.. you get all your food in a French fry tray. I had to use the food tray so my food didn 't end up all over the table. 5) The food was ok.. I really didn 't wanna use the BBQ sauce on the table due to the unclean look to them.. but ended up having too because the bbq was so dry. I hope changes are implemented, we enjoy trying out the way places when we travel. Most times they are a hit.. but this place was a miss.

Stopped while on our way through. Was looking for a BBQ place in the evening on a weekday. Apparently that is difficult to find in NC. Most were closed, but Old Bob's wasn't. I had BBQ tray. Disappointed in the presentation. Literally all the food was together in a French fry tray. The vinegar slaw was good, and BBQ was ok. Not fond of the BBQ sauce on the table. It was some weird cross of vinegar/sweet sauce. I normally like NC BBQ sauce, but this definitely wasn't what I was used to. They were kind enough to give me a cup of wing sauce (honey bbq) which was good. Hushpuppies were good. Husband had ribs, and they were good, but had that weird sauce on it again. He scraped it off. Staff wasn't overly friendly, but they were young. Went to use the bathroom, and apparently the lone male employee we saw in the place was in there. I was told I would probably want to wait for the men's room to open up. No thank you. I had high hopes, but was left a little disappointed. I probably won't be back if I ever find myself in the area again. Lesson learned? If you want lots of BBQ choices, go eat early.

Over-priced for what you get.Burgers are good when they aren't burnt. Fries are pretty good. BBQ is whatever. Common theme in these parts. Randy's is definitely the best option for BBQ around here.

My husband ate dine in and got BBQwhuch was not good. He brought me a 3.59 corndog which was probably the worse corndog I have ever tried to eat. He was spongey. And also got a cheeseburger which I just threw away. He was completely unedible. We will never eat here again.

Stopped in here on the way back home from the mountains and it was amazing!! Definitely a well known place around.
