Was super excited about Bubba Qs after hearing great things and on the whole it was fab! The only disappointing thing was the brisket was really dry and far from "melt in the mouth". The kids menu is great tho and excellent value for money!

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!

Very tasty food and generous portions, could've had one side of fries between two but they were so tasty we had one each! Staff efficient and friendly enough, although we're not given any change from our bill, which I felt was a bit presumptuous. Maybe pay by card in future so I can decide for myself what to leave as a tip!

Delicious barbecue food. The doughnut burger is especially good! Good choice of beers, and top cheesy rock tunes on the jukebox. Also love the sweet potato fries and homemade coleslaw.

Decor good , staff friendly , food was really good the only thing that lets it down and I'm being really picky is that the brisket was just marginally over cooked but otherwise great place !!

Lovely barbeque flavour of the 5 usuals; chicken, pulled pork, beef brisket, sausage and ribs, try the pitmaster platter which is one each of the 5 plus fries and 2 sides....not for the faint hearted more enjoyable shared with 2; small place so book your table. Service was good but could have been a bit more attentive; no one asked if the meal was ok and I had to wait to catch attention on several occasions for service. However the food is good plenty of it and well prepared; meat nice and juicy. Draught beers are not on the menu so if you are thirsty make sure you spot them at the bar.

staff were fantastic, & best brisket iv tasted in Scotland. fried chicken was awesome also, you should definitely try a burger with big fillets with a cheese sauce, maybe some pickled cabbage. Looking forward to returning.

First visit tried the death by bacon burger and the plater from the bbq which was nice but the pulled pork and brisket was still quite fatty could have been cooked at a lower heat lower heat longer to render the day still nice though

Great service and really yummy food. Love smokehouse type food and we thought that we'd try this restaurant on our recent trip to Edinburgh, was quite a small restaurant, but was busy and worth the visit.
