Bo's Barbecue & Catering

NOT WHAT IT USE TO BE. Several years ago I use to go to Bo's everytime I was in town. I had high respect for him as a businessman and what he had done with the restaurant. Food was good most of the time. Portion sizes were always small.

About three years ago the place seemed to have changed I don't know if success created the problem. Bo was no longer friendly the good and service was not as good as before.

I now go to Back Forty Texas BBQ in Pleasant Hill. Food is consistently good, not as expensive and the service is with a smile.

Sorry Bo 5 years ago I would have given you the highest rating possible.…

Way too costly. From Texas myself, I've eaten here 3 times. I was shocked at the prices and portions. The first time I went the BB/Q was good. Maybe they just figure everyone in Lafayette has a six-figure salary. the 2nd and 3rd times, they were out of ribs, the food was incredibly bad compared to the first brisket I'd eaten there. -- and the attitude of the staff was shockingly indifferent. When I spend close to $20/person for my dinner, I at least expect the staff to do it with a smile. You know -- if you ask me to bend over, at least have the decency to grease me up with some kindness.…

Where's the ribs?. Awkward at best, purchase one of there $5 Bass beers and waited for our friends to join us. After their arrival at 7:00 pm we went to order off the board, and found out they were out of ribs. What? No ribs at Bo's BBQ. Sorry Bo we went else where for dinner. Maybe next time.

Bad karma.…

No problem fitting everything on one plate. Give me a break... I love all types of BBQ and this was a total ripoff. I never feel obligated to rate a place but can not help my self. Just paid $18 bucks after tip for a walk up and order brisket meal. Including about 10 ounces of OK brisket with way too much char on it. 1/3 ear of corn, 2 and a half table spoons of potato salad, a lettuce only salad, and a piece of bread. They had no trouble fitting it on a plate, even with the big piece of bread.

I asked for water when I ordered, she said it they will bring it out. When i got my small plate I asked for water again, she never came back. Had to walk up and get it....The owner must go home and make fake email address to create 5 star reviews to offset the negative ones.

My hope is that he will reform his business plan. Good thing the portions were small, I went looking for a salad for a diet plate. No salads, very few choices, I ended up getting the diet plate without even ordering one.…
