My parents and I are visiting from out of town and we met some close friends here for dinner. Once we sat down I immediately... noticed all the gluten free options and variety of meat choices on the menu. I chose the Bourbon Burger and it was cookedperfectly medium. When it was brought out they had plated the toppings out to the side for me which was thoughtful! My dad,being an avid barbecuer himself, saw the various notable competition trophies as well ????. After dinner we conversed outsidewith our friends and people were still coming in around 9. They were busy during our whole visit (6-9) so of you have a biggergroup reservations are recommended. April was awesome as well! She engaged our table and was friendly. Read more
I've had BBQ all around the country, including some of the most famous places. I'm usually disappointed with overcooked (dry)... meats. Bubba-Q's is one of the best I've had in a long time. The pulled pork sandwich was perfect with a heaping helping ofpork. The burnt ends were by far the best I've had (almost as good as my own. ????) I can't wait to try the other offerings! Read more
It was fun to try. We got the three meat dinner to share-- you get to pick three. We both really liked the pork, I liked the... sausage (it has a little kick)and we both thought the beef was good. Just one BBQ sauce to choose-- sweet with a little heat.The buttered toast was really good. We got a baked potato, which was a generous size. Served with lite sour cream and margarine,which just doesn't take a baked potato to the next level...meh. We got salad for an extra side,which tasted good but was smallcompared to other places we've eaten. Didn't have a Western or a French dressing option. A classic BBQ feel spot. Server wasaverage ..no eye contact or circling back to see how things were. Glad we got to try it, but wouldn't go out of our way to comeback, I guess. Maybe if we'd gotten a sandwich we'd have felt differently? Read more
Beef brisket all day! With the burnt ends. I really enjoyed Bubba Q BBQ house ???? ???? everything was well cooked and... delicious ????. Definitely taste like a gem ???? in this city. Unfortunately the customer service was not as good but the fooddefinitely made up for it. Coleslaw was not as good as hoped. Same with the Mac and cheese it?s a bit to watery. but the meat istasty!

I had the mushroom Swiss Burger and it was the best Burger I've eaten in a long time. I asked if I could have provolone cheese... over mozzarella and they were more than happy to accommodate me. They seemed to lack a loo on waitresses this evening but mywaitress did the very best she could to serve all of her customers Read more
Love this place! I've been here multiple times and the food is always great. Fast and friendly service! I got the pond and... pasture and was very impressed with the flavor of the fish and steak! Very reasonably priced as well! Read more
