Fat Bob's Smokehouse

With blues and reggae music flowing and a classic down-home decor, this is one of Buffalo's best barbeque haunts. Located in the trendy Allentown district, Fat Bob's atmosphere is friendly and the food terrific since nearly everything is made from scratch. The sides are scrumptious and include favorites like sausage gravy, mashed potatoes, and cornbread. Main dishes include mainly styles of barbecue and southern cuisine, including St. Louis pork ribs, spice-rubbed catfish, and Texas-style brisket all smoked to perfection. Sandwiches include fried cornmeal catfish, pulled pork, the Memphis burger (topped with bacon and pulled pork), and the "Sloppy Bob, a combination of chicken, pork, and brisket.
