Walking in we were greeted with Nicky. Every time we come shes always full of life and leaves us with a warm hearted feeling. Not only is her service amazing the food never disappoints.
Most delicious fried okra,I got the pulled pork sandwhich fries,okra ,an fried pickles
Our first visit to the new digs. There was a pack house so we ate outside. Glad it was nice outside or it could have been brutal. I gauge my BBQ on brisket. I got the dinner plate that consisted of some moist and meaty slices. Very tender and enough smokey flavor. My sides were the coleslaw and collards. Both really good. I would have preferred a bit of ham hock in the collards. My wife got the pulled pork with fries. She really like both and said fries were really crispy. We got a side of fried green tomatoes. A bit small as they were cut in half but tasty nonetheless. They had a variety of sauces to choose from. I had the Rump Roaster as it was their "hottest." Good but not hot.
Stop by here 2 other times went to other near by the 3 time I finally stopped in, it was great service from the time I order the meal and finished my meal, the food was really good. It was a shame. I did not stop by here the first few times.
Came here for the first time with my family Shelly (hope I spelled her name right) is AMAZING you can tell she take care of all her customers and the place is a really nice spot to eat with friends/family. Shelly took the time to answer all questions about items on the menu and came back once in while to check up and seen if we needed anything she took really good care of us and food was really good it is a lil pricey but it’s worth it especially having a server/cashier like her. THANK You so much
We thoroughly enjoyed this place. The food was delicious and the staff made it feel like home!
Wife comes here often for lunch since it’s close by her work. No wonder she likes to come here it was very delicious!! My first time here and I’d love to come back! I’d recommend them for your BBQ cravings! Nice service and clean establishment as well!! Overall, great place!
You're not going to BubbQue's for the atmosphere, you're going the for the food. Good food. No, not good food...damn good food! It really had the best smoked meat and poultry I ever ate. The pulled pork was so good, I didn't want to spoil it with any of the many sauces they offer. And the wings...best wings I ever ate. Better than any wings I cook up at home, and I can cook up some mighty good wings. But these wings, smokey and crispy on the outside, tender and tasty on the inside. Oh man, I wish I had some more right now! Although I was not a baked beans person when I walked into BubbaQue's, I walked out a convert. My wife ordered them as a side and they were packed with flavor. So yummy! We had so much food we split our order, and still couldn't finish it all. As an added bonus, I ordered a beer and they told me they were running a special, buy one beer and get a second free. How can you go wrong? Four bucks for two ice cold brews. The only thing I did not like about BubbaQue's, is that it is an hour drive from my house! Bubba, why couldn't you be closer to my home?
