Beefalo Bob’s

Bottom Line: A locals bar that specializes in rooting for the Ravens and pit beef, but not
necessarily in that order.
Beefalo Bob is a very busy guy. He has a catering business, a reception hall, a carry-​out place and a sports bar. This review is for the bar which is co-​located with the catering business and reception hall in Baltimore, just over the Pasadena line. Just be sure you don’t find yourself at the carry-​out only location in Pasadena if you are wanting to belly up to the bar.
Although they claim to be famous for pit beef, they have a very extensive menu here. On my inagural visit here I went for the pit beef sandwich with Ocean City fries. I like that Beefalo Bob’s has a wide variety of sauces to try because tasting the various ones is half the fun. I found that my pit beef sandwich definitely needed some sauce.
Beefalo Bob’s is very much a locals place, hun. There is plenty of Raven’s paraphernalia throughout the restaurant and its great for people watching. Also, you can play Keno here and smoking outside the front door seems to be popular too.
I found the wait staff to be very welcoming and friendly. I also appreciate that Beefalo Bob or his delegate came by the table to check on us. Overall, the staff was very attentive.
The prices here are very reasonable and I can certainly see myself returning to soak up some more Baltimore/​Dena culture.

I don’t know much about the BBQ because I was distracted by the intoxicating orange concoctions I was ingesting at an alarming rate. Oh, and the amazing karaōke. The relaxed environment convinced me that I will wear my finest sweats next time… and there definitely will be a next time. A local excitable gentleman was there shouting «Hey!» for every sing-​singing patron. We even snuck on over to a banquet next door to shake our groove thangs. The whole experience was new and exciting. The beer selection left me wanting more but hey, you can’t win in every aspect! If you’re looking for a venue to belt out some Whitney Houston, filled with an accepting (and encouraging) audience, Beefalo Bob’s is your place!

Great place for take out! Pit beef was cooked perfectly, waitress/​bar tender was very kind and helpful. Recommend this place 100 times over. They have a great little bar area that seems to have everything anyone would want. If considering this place stop reading and get over there!

Pretty disappointed! Ordered two beef sandwiches with fries and a half pound of shrimp carryout. Get home one sandwich has fries the other does not. The sandwich with chips has a pickle the other one does not. The shrimp has no cocktail sauce. There was maybe five people in the bar so I find this inexcusable. Maybe if the lady who gave me my order wasn’t busy outside on the phone smoking she could have made sure my order was correct.

Love the atmosphere here but staff is inattentive and you have to go up to the bar to order even if you dine in. Also, the several times I’ve been in almost every food order was messed up– even with me ordering food AS IS.

Just had an event at beefalo bobs/​reflections banquet hall. The food was excellent! We had a bull and oyster roast! The staff were fabulous! Shannon and the banquet staff, including our bar tender and oyster shucker, were awesome! Also the event planning staff were extremely helpful with suggestions to make our event a huge success! We plan on holding other events at beefalo bobs!!!

Eh, pretty much sums it up. Stopped here for carry out lunch, and was pretty disappointed.
Bartender taking my order seemed agitated, like she was overwhelmed with the few patrons they had in the place at lunchtime. Attitude for no reason.
Chaps in the city knows how to make a real sandwich (went in not expecting that level of quality, but thought maybe it would be decent enough). Not really.
Ordered a slider trio and asked if I could have it combined on a sub roll. No problem. It included pit beef, turkey, and ham. Ordered the pit beef rare and it came out well (not even the slightest bit pink). Both halves of the sub had the beef and one half had turkey and the other ham… wtf. There was very little meat overall and each end of the sub was 1 ½″ of dry bread.
Overall the meat had good flavor just not enough for 10 $. My friend also got a pit beef rare and guess what perfectly cooked rare beef on his sandwich.
Won’t return. Bad service and boring meal.

We came here on a Sunday afternoon to watch the Ravens game, because we had heard great things about their game buffet. Two slight hiccups threatened to destroy our happiness: first we went to the wrong BB’s, which is just a storefront for takeout on Mountain Road; then we arrived an hour early and the buffet wasn’t open yet. We were going to leave, but since we don’t get down to Pasadena too often, I suggested we sit and have a drink while we waited for the game to start, and that turned out to be a good plan. They have a decent number of microbrews (thank you, beer revolution!) and their nachos were pretty good to munch on while we waited.
The buffet is really something. Basically, they have a banquet hall that they use for weddings and large events, and when it’s game day they set up a huge buffet in there, deck out all the tables, turn down the lights and project the game onto a huge screen in front. It was hilarious to see people sitting at these fancy tables in their purple camo gear! We hit the buffet and then went back to the bar area to enjoy our food. It was standard-​issue pork barbecue, hot dogs, macaroni and cheese, cole slaw, corn bread, veggies and ranch dip, etc. Everything was good, but not great. I was full after one plate and couldn’t go back, despite the hypnotic pull of AYCE.
However, the real appeal of the game day festivities is that when the Ravens get a touchdown, there’s a guy with a huge Ravens flag who runs through the bar area yelling hysterically. The game we watched happened to be a pretty embarrassing bloodbath for our opponents, so he was there every 15 minutes or so. I actually texted two more people and convinced them to come by for a drink, just so they could witness the Flag Guy. (Side note: both of them ordered the pit beef, and looking at their plates, I wished I had skipped the buffet and done the same.)
Would I go back? Probably not. But even though barbecue isn’t my favorite and I absolutely hate football, I had a great time here!

I have been here at least 7 times. The pit beef is consistently great. The French fries are good too. I get the regular size sandwich and it is plenty big. I have gotten the larger portion and didn’t notice that much of a difference. Service is always friendly and pleasant.

A few months ago I found Beefalo Bob’s online and my fiancé and I planned a trip to Baltimore to try out the food before placing a deposit for our backyard wedding reception. Walking into the take-​out restaurant I hesitated, but after tasting the food, we were blown away. Beefalo Bob’s traveled from Baltimore to Northeast Pennsylvania to cater out reception and they were amazing. The price, the food, and the service were impeccable. Kelly, Josh, and Hunter were professional and prepared for everything. They cleared tables, they cut the cake, and they were very personable. The food was probably the best wedding food I’ve ever had. The mac-​n-​cheese was a HUGE hit. I would recommend this company to anyone for any function.

I love this place for three reasons: the food is great, the prices are cheap, and there’s always a place to sit. Normally service is fast but we’ve had to wait a couple of times when it was crowded. The bartender/​servers are really friendly and courteous. They have a ton of TVs usually covering all the main sporting events and the atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable. I’ve never used their banquet hall or their catering services but if they are run like the restaurant I would expect nothing but a positive experience.

The carved beef sandwich is incredible!
Good deals on drinks. Service is good as well. Only problem is its a little small. But the food compensates!!!
There other carved meats are also delicious. Same with there Italians sausages, and they make good crab cakes for a BBQ joint.

Excellent food, the pit beef, ham and turkey are all the best. When I am craving roast beef this is the go to spot. The servers are great, although sometimes I think they are overwhelmed. They are hustling in there and should have extra help. But it is worth the wait. Good daily specials keep the menu from getting old, but it is so hard to order anything but the pit beef, cause it is that good!

Worst meal I have had in a long time. Waited 45 minutes for my burger, which I ordered Medium-​rare. When it finally came out, it had clearly been sitting in the kitchen, as it was room temperature. First bite tasted like I was biting into raw meat and I almost vomited.
To top it all off, despite the full sandwich on my plate, the server asked «Are you finished?» and took the plate like it was no big deal. I guess I’m too nice to complain.
Gross food. Lousy service. You’re better off going to the McDonald’s.

Great Food, great selection. Been a customer for 10 years + and have never been disappointed. Very reasonably prices and the service is always good

Best BBQ around hands down. Better than Adams Ribs in Severna Park, Better than Mission BBQ, better than Corky’s in Sp and the place of of Route 3. Well cooked and stacked high. Also the sauces are on point.
It is the Beefiest of the Bobs!!!
Note lunch time is a bit slow bc of the one server but she does one heck of a job.

Stop in around 7:30 on a Saturday night and sat ther for almost15 minutes and no one waited on us or even approached out table. The couple at the next table were complaining about the wait on there food. As we got up to leave the lady at the next table said «i dont blame you». How does this place stay in business. Hit the pass button on Beefalo Bobs.

Great ribs, we like the rib subs as well. They have the best shrimp as well. Clean, friendly and great place to eat.

Great pit beef, ham & turkey! Service was good, Old Bay and malt vinegar on every table, TVs all around, and lots of daily specials. The food was great, and they have Natty Boh on tap. They have an extensive menu, so if you’re not feeling like pit beef/​ham/​turkey there are plenty of other options. Plenty of seating, and they have an extra hall which they offer catering in and special events. The bar area definitely has a sports bar feel.

The only reason that I didn’t give 5 stars is because every time I go there is only 1 bartender. The service is always friendly and accommodating but lunchtime business, with only one server, can cause a fairly long wait. Not the bartenders fault but still kind of annoying.
I have had pit beef sandwiches from all over Baltimore. This is the best pit beef I’ve had. I only go there for pit beef sandwiches so I can’t speak for anything else. Not only is it tasty, tender and packed with an abundant amount of beef, it is consistently delicious. I have had a small pit beef sandwich (plenty big) and the boardwalk style fries at least 10 times in the past 2 years and its always great.
