Good food, efficient service. Felt a bit like a chain restaurant. Would return but only for a quick bite to eat rather making a special effort to visit.

Bubba Q is a fantastic BBQ restaurant in Edinburgh. This place has a lovely cosy atmosphere, with friendly staff and an amazing range of food including burgers, platters and hot dogs. I went to this restaurant on a Wednesday evening around half 6. Even though the restaurant was quick busy, we were waited on promptly and recieved amazing service and food throughout our visit. Would definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys BBQ food and brilliant value for money!

Best BBQ ever and their milkshakes are awesome too! Though not much more than chips, shakes and nachos for vegetarians but hey what do you expect from a BBQ restaurant?

Staff not very friendly woman who greeted us very abrupt and couldn't even raise a smile ! Food ok but seem to get rated highly for portion size which doesn't necessarily mean quality

The service and food here were excellent. We were unhappy with our choice of beer and there was no hesitation in changing them by the staff. The prices, considering the location, are pretty good. I will return.

Always really great BBQ. The food is delicious and service friendly. The hotlinks are divine and it's one of the few places you'll find a South Carolina style BBQ sauce. Awesome.

Fab food, portions are very generous. I loved the music too. Will definitely be back. The only negative thing is the toilet cubicles are so small they are nearly impossible to get in!

American restaurant with plenty of burgers to choose from. The pulled pork with mac and cheese and fries with cheese and chili were very good and you get a good portion of pork as well. I myself had this and my partner had a burger and it was enough for the both of us so unfortunately couldn't manage a pud!

We were looking forward to coming here, due to the rave reviews and the lovely looking pictures on Facebook. Sadly I was disappointed. The portion size was great, no problems there. But none of the food was overly tasty. We ordered the sharing plate, and most things on there tasted the same. It's saving grace was the brisket, which was softy and tasty as it should be. The ribs, chicken and sausages all had no colouring or flavouring. The beans, tasted like a can of baked beans with bbq sauce. The waitress was extremely efficient, but not very friendly at all. We sadly probably won't be returning.

The menu looks good but in fact the food was very average. The Macaroni cheese was really bland and the pulled pork a bit dry. The only bit we enjoyed was the Cajun fries!
