Stopped in for some bbq and I love this place! From the hospitality, the nostalgic ambiance to the food it was all great. We dined on the pork belly burnt ends (because why wouldn’t you) and the pit master sampler. The sides we had were the mac&cheese, green beans, bacon broccoli salad, coleslaw and banana pudding for dessert. It all tasted great, fresh made and good portions. Definitely worth the 40 min drive for us! If you haven’t been, you’re missing out.
1st time visitor - So I'm sitting in my office in the Metrolina businesspark this morning and the doorbell rings...I open the door and find this guy dressed in a Bubba Shirt standing there looking all hot, tired, and sweaty. He launches right into his spiel about how Bubba's has reopened and he's out pounding the pavement drumming up new business. He hands me a handful of fliers for the break room and some business cards good for a free sandwich! Awesome!
I figure, if this guy can brave the heat to promote his business, who am I to say no?
I headed over at lunch and decided to try both the BBQ and brisket sandwiches. Glad I did!
Wow! Full of slow-cooked meat, tasty and delicious! Sauce on the side so I could season to taste (I don't like a big, wet, sloppy BBQ sandwich so that was a nice touch!) A little side of slaw and fun inish it all off with a cold sweet tea and I'll tell you...I think I've found my new go-to lunch spot!
I'll be back!
The best bbq i’ve ever had, workers are great and friendly. the bathroom has a fun secret.
The ribs and broccoli salad were OK. The burnt pork belly delicious, brisket and pulled pork delicious. So we're the chicken fingers really good with good fries. Service very friendly and with smiles, very unique these days.
Had a work appointment nearby and my colleague, familiar with the area, took me here.
The food was outstanding (had the Brisket plate) sides of green beans and some awesome Mac n Cheese - Loved how each plate comes with hush puppies too.
But the best part of the experience was the owner Bubba/Ralph - coming by to chat with us. This guy should do stand up comedy. He was hilarious with his dead panned / dry sense of humor! Really made it memorable.
Everyone needs to put it on their Charlotte BBQ bucket list if not in your regular rotation.
It ain't fancy but the BBQ is excellent! I've been going there for about 20 years now and except for the way they take orders (used to have wait people but now Bubba takes your order when you walk in) not much has changed. Stopped by yesterday for the first time in 10 years and was not disappointed. Love the parking lot signs. 🙂
Staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The BBQ plate was delicious….pork was moist with lots of smoked flavor. Hush puppies were awesome as the bread. We will definitely be back and have designated Bubbas as our Charlotte BBQ joint.
Great BBQ. Dined in and loved it. I went to this place 30 years ago when i was 4as one of my earliest memories with my grandfather. It's nice it's still here. My only complaint is that it tasted microwaved. The BBQ and the sides. Perhaps it was just in a hot well for too long. I wish it had tasted fresh.
We have enjoyed bbq across the country and found this gem on our short stay in Charlotte. We decided on the sampler plate and it exceeded our expectation! Quality cuts, flavorful sauces and delicious sides made this a fantastic choice. Banana pudding was super yummy! Staff and Bubba made this visit one to remember. Come and enjoy for yourself!!
Recently reopened, just as good as ever with a slightly modified menu and some new additions, including pork rinds and pimento cheese. The best pulled pork and hush puppies!
This is the best BBQ in Charlotte area. The burnt ends are so so good! Very smokey. Amazing BBQ!!!
Local Eastern Style BBQ, quite popular
Unusual mustard based cole slaw was surprisingly good..... never had it before.
Myself, a big fan of Red Bridge's in Shelby, thoroughly enjoyed Bubba's. Cannot compare the two because of the recipes. I would definitely recommend Bubba's
Fantastic atmosphere, fantastic staff, amazing ice cream sandwiches
I don't care how full you are, get one!!!
Finally, at long last, Bubba’s was open when we were in the area. Bubba’s has been a fave for years. When we’ve been through the Charlotte area every summer we have stopped by. But they were closed still because of COVID. This week we were swinging by and called-just on the chance… And they had re-opened! Just as always, the pulled pork was perfect. The chicken fingers were delish. I drank so much tea I couldnt sleep that night! Welcome back, Bubba’s!
Great to have Bubba's back open. Great BBQ, awesome banana pudding, tremendous hush puppies and a whole lot more. Get in to Bubbas, you won't be disappointed.
The food and service are amazing. Don't let the simple table cloths and plasticware fool you.
Had a great dinner here! It wasn't busy, service was quick and friendly. They brought out a sample of pork rinds and we bought a bag to take with us. The mustard slaw was better than most slaws! The fries were a surprise hit for a BBQ restaurant, they were really great. Everything else was tasty! Just wish they used plates instead of takeout containers for dining in.
Awesome place to eat. Definitely gives you a taste of eastern NC BBQ. Excellent service, clean, friendly staff. A++
Delicious food, lovely staff, friendly and fun homely atmosphere. Definitely try the pork belly burnt ends!
