This place used to be one of my favorite places to dine at/carry out. These last two months and including today has been a dissapointing experience. Today the server/bartender not very friendly, she was to busy being social with people she knew. If u order 2 meals u have to specifically say dont put the orders in the same box, in which they seem to keep doing. I ordered catfish nuggets and mac n cheese. I got 9 small nuggets and a child size scoop of mac n cheese in which cost me about 25 dollars, when your kids mcdonalds happy meal has more food than what u have just paid 25 for thats crazy and then charged me a fee on top to use my card, and when I tried to talk to the server and ask when did they start charging to use your card, and when did the food prices go up, she blew me off by telling me its the economy. In which I understand that, but if this how they are doing business now, thats really sad to limit portions, raise food prices, charge for spending money with them and to end it with a rude server, and the server will tell u the prices are different because the menus arent updated. I enclosed pics on the 1st time I ordered catfish nuggets and tried again to see if any better. I really hate that this business is not the same friendly customer service and good food as before. The pics are 2 seperate days and neither was worth almost 25 dollars for just nuggets an mac n cheese.🙁

STAY FAR FAR AWAY FROM THIS PLACE AND DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH HIM!!!!! Dude is nothing but a scam. Paid him a deposit to do a wedding.He pocketed the money, in 4 or 5 months never sent a menu or contract and then became impossible to get a hold of. We asked for our money back he promised a refund and then, wanted to play games about providing the refund. Finally, after having to deal with his unprofessional behavior got our refund. There are many better, more reputable barbecue joints who want business, available to use instead of this guy. Most other places also require less of a deposit for a bigger menu and selection than this guy. Edit: the owners response just proves the lack professionalism and lies by himself. Never was the deposit $1000, never was non refundable mentioned, can't pay when the dude wont respond to messages, and never was his staff harassed I simply called to ask for him since he wants to block people for calling out his bullshit and then he had his staff lie and say he wasnt there even tho he previously told us he was. The dude can't even keep his lies straight and completely lacks and professionalism.

Food was great the first time. But takes an extraordinarily long time, even when the order is placed online. It's always at least 25 minutes after the time it says it will be ready. We were so excited to get Bobbie Lane's when our daughter and son-in-law were in town as we had told them how good it was. Got home with our order, and received tots (which are cold) instead of cheese curds (not exactly a similar price). No fried pickles, no pulled pork. Ridiculous. Especially after being told that the 25 minutes it took waiting in the restaurant was because "something was missing when they checked." BBQ sauce cups are maybe 1/3 filled. Brisket is very dry. Ridiculous. I had to edit this twice because we kept finding problems. The "Texas toast" is whole-wheat sandwich bread (was real Texas toast the first time). One coleslaw had no lid. I don't get it. How can you make someone wait 25 minutes after it was supposed to be ready and then have so many mistakes? $130 worth of food. Sad to say, we won't be getting this again. Food is good, but BBQ isn't exactly cheap, and missing items and excessive time isn't worth it.

Bobbie Lanes BBQ ..Brandon dulik since you had us blocked on Bobbie Lanes bbq page and also commenting on Support Dcatur IL Small Business this is truth!! Brandon Dulik this is Mark Eckart Eckart's Flooring t, no excuses 3 weeks i waited to get paid for the 300 in materials i spent out of my own pocket then I waited another 2 or three weeks for the concrete I had to bust up. I told you I had to move to another job I had scheduled because your concrete wasn't part of my bid. Me and Mike Kester. Busted up an area of concrete 10 x 20, 2 to 3 inches thick. Because the concrete the other company put down was not attached to the old concrete. It was hollow as a matter of fact the 20 x 20 area you couldn't afford to have us tear out, is still hollow. I brought in the material and primer to prime the floor and 15 bags of ardex I bought from goods. To prep the floor so tell the truth, i had every extention of finishing the job but I can't work for free. The tile I was going to lay in the back I was going to give you 450 feet of tile. All you had to do is go and get 500 ft more. I primed most of that floor for free with goes for 1.⁰⁰ a sqft. In a 2000 ft area. Scraped the floor. Floated out the entry way. Ground down high areas im the floor where the concrete from setting was higher. So you wanted to do epoxy in the back changing your mind from tile. That was too much. So you had a garage kit from lowes or menards you and your wife put in. Its going fail, fail. Chip up and if clean cut didn't use a primer. Your plank is going to fail. I did have a guy that had two beers help me. I couldn't screet a 12 ft wide are of concrete by myself it was a Sunday. No one was n there but me and him. Your going to serve alcohol. Who cares. You had not gave me a dime in a month why would I stick around. I had to go do a job for Can Do construction. Because you weren't paying me. The concrete was never supposed to be my job. But you were cutting corners trying to save money. I'm going Tuesday to put a mechanics lein on Bobbie Lane's BBQ so there's that. It's been over a month since I got a penny from you I've tried calling and texting over 50 times. Crickets and two excuses. We were friends I've done other jobs at USA clean and another one. So you know I do good work. But your step dad paid me not you. Everyone told me you would do this, I defended you. I said no way not brandon. As far as that goes I wouldn't let the guy in from the company you rent the kitchen equipment from. He said you paid the initial payment and hadnt paid in months. I should have let company that you rent the kitchen equipment from in to repo it. I wouldn't let him in because you were my friend. I should have let him TAKE IT ALL.

Cheap scamming pos! Don’t give your money to this money...

Can I just say how glad I am that I chose this place to celebrate my 50th Birthday. The food was amazing!!! Hands down the best BBQ in Decatur. Loved the inside of the restaurant and the option to sit out on the patio. Ashlyn our server was outstanding. She gave us menu suggestions and was very attentive to our large table. The owner Brandon came out and chatted with us and we loved hearing the story about his grandparents. He was super friendly and made us feel like valued customers. Bobbie Lane's BBQ is a wonderful family run business with a great owner and great employees. Everything and I mean everything was absolutely delicious!!! There were 11 of us in our party and I believe everyone ordered something different. We started with the Chips & Queso as an appetizer and they were so good. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich platter with macaroni and it was cooked to perfection. The macaroni was so yummy and I loved the corn muffin. My husband ordered the Smash Burger and said that it was one of the best burgers he has eaten. My kids loved the Pulled Pork Nachos and the Smothered Tots and the portion size was incredible. The menu was large with a variety of choices. Before we left my sister ordered wings to take home for her husband which he loved! Bobbie Lane's BBQ is a fantastic, very clean, reasonably priced restaurant with outstanding food and employees!! We can't wait to come back!! Thank you Brandon for a...
