There is not much to see from the outside and would be easy to walk past and not notice it. However, it is worth stepping inside and giving it a try. The food was really tasty and good value for money and the service was fast and friendly.

The food was amazing. Watch how much you order though as portions are large. The staff were very friendly, helpful and patient as it took us a while to decide what to have. We will definitely be back.

I really enjoy coming here for food and appreciate that festival time is always going to be really busy but as a group of 6 people we had to ask to order drinks, ask to place our order and then after a 45 minute wait had to ask how much longer the food would be. We enjoyed the food it was just a shame about the service and one I haven’t experienced before so will hope it’s due to time of year. However still disappointed

Bubba Q is always excellent! They’re really friendly, the food is delicious and the portions are massive! We had the Pitmaster Tray and 3 sides between two of us. It was too much (and we have pretty big appetites!) and they were happy to give us a wee box and bag to take the rest away for my husband’s lunch the next day! Will definitely be back.
