This was our first time ever ordering from Robinson's and we are so glad we did. Everything was so good! We got a bucket of tips and wow. It was more like an entire tray of tips! The tips came dry but that may have been my fault just cause Uber eats is weird sometimes. There was plenty of extra BBQ sauce tho and we just poured it right over the tips and man oh man it was so good!! I had a taste for brisket but not BBQ... i never had a BBQ brisket but this one at Robinson's was delicious. There's so much food I'm pretty sure my husband and I have leftovers for the next 2 days. Lol Oh yeah!! I am super duper picky with potato salad... The only potato salad Ive ever liked, was my mom's*💖RIP🙏🏽, and theirs is soooooo similar!! 🤭 *Sorry Mom!!*😘💖 Thanks so much Robinson's... We'll be back soon!! 👋🏽

This is not my first time coming here but will be my last. I used to come as a kid but haven't been in a while. My mom took my husband and I here today and when I tell you, it is not the same. The place was basically empty ( which I'm not use to) and food was not great at all. The mashed potatoes were spoiled and Mac and cheese was overcooked. The ribs were better than the last time I came but still not as good as the first time. The employees were loud while watching a football game with a couple of other guest. And for almost $20 per person for the buffet/ lunch line is crazy if the food is not up to par. I do agree with another review that I read, they do need to shut down and fix it up and redo the menu. I was seconds away from call Gorden Ramsey for a restoration because I really don't want the business and it's legacy to go down the drain.

Hadn't been here in a minute & out of town visitors wanted ribs ....Nice atmosphere as you walk in...MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT with food 😞i immediately noticed sauce recipe is not the same and was very skimpy spread on order & the ribs & rib tips were tough as nails...you had to chew each piece to the point your jaws were sore ! Very inedible due to the toughness of the meat. Fries and corn were great, skip the corn bread and coleslaw was a little too much on vinegar side. I found a piece of chicken in my rib tips order that was very old and HORRIBLE...I still can't get the taste out of my mouth. The dining area which is a pleasant setting should have been cleared of dying flower arrangements that were spread around the area. And extremely disappointing waste of my hard earned money...won't be doing this again 😒

The restaurant needs a serious upgrade. Everything is outdated and showing signs of wear and tear, from the ceiling to the floor. The vents were filthy. The food is edible, not necessarily nasty, but definitely not delicious. The rib tips were not fresh. The mac-n-cheese was the worst. They need to close the doors, revamp the recipes, and add some touches of tlc.

It was our first time visiting Robertsons Ribs, but it won't be the last time. We enjoyed the delicious turkey tips, chicken fingers, catfish and rib tip dinner. Everything was great the sauce was delicious and the service was awesome. Thank you for being so customer focused.

I recently attended a family event hosted at this venue, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time. The buffet-style food setup was convenient, the staff was attentive, and the atmosphere was perfect. The well-stocked bar and available jukebox added to the experience. The venue was impeccably clean, including frequently maintained restrooms. Thanks for a great experience, great food, and service.

This is the most ridiculous place i have ever been to.. it took them 30minutes to prepare this "meal".. they call this a hot dog... empty bun with sausage link. Also lady upfront needs some serious customer service training!

I wish they could’ve heard better, I asked for two of the same orders. Like there’s one and another person with me. One and two. I guess the cashier couldn’t hear right. I had high expectations. From a friend referring this place.
