We all had 2 meat plates with a few alterations to the fries... Everything was brilliant as usual and we'll be back in no time!

Not the typical Valentine's Day meal, but it was excellent as always! My girlfriend and I both agreed we'd made the right choice!

Amazing food, the service was fast, efficient and friendly, the atmosphere was buzzing but not loud, the servers were fabulous. The cost was very reasonable and well worth it. We’ll definitely be going back. Baby back ribs were massive, burgers - the best, sliders...so much to eat. Brilliant.

I have to say we where very disappointed only allowed to pick from one part of the menu which was fine ? Until we had to eat it ? We ordered chicken tenders to start thought we will pay extra for the add ons ? Shouldn’t have bothered they were deep fried burnt chewy ? My main was BBQ pork sliders I ate a bit of one it was disgusting no BBQ on it . The other meal was seemingly the same I refused to try it . Won’t go back total waste of money

We had a nice experience at Bubba Q, asking for a meat platter. We were immediately shown to our table and the decor was fun and interesting. I also really enjoyed the music which was a good volume. 2 little flaws were firstly, I felt quite rushed as I had instantly sat down and was immediately asked what drink I wanted and felt like the staff were hovering. Which some people would enjoy as it made for quick service but I found made it hard for me to relax. Secondly while the food was delicious with lovely sauces, there was a bit that was over cooked and inedible. This feels a little like nitpicking as the rest of the food was fantastic.

Lovely food, atmosphere and service. Would highly recommend. You have to be really hungry though!! Portions are HUGE!!!! If you don’t want a massive portion, I can recommend the chicken wings as they’re available in regular or large!

Massive portions, staff were lovely and efficient, only bad thing was its a bit cold sitting next to any of the windows as they are old and don't keep the cold air out so much.

Wonderful atmosphere! I loved all the license plates everywhere; really gave it an American feel. The food was amazing as well! Smothered fries are my new favorite thing :D

We've been here before and had a decent meal so thought we would try again and get something different. First time we got burgers which is pretty hard to get wrong. This time We both got tacos The 'chicken' tacos tasted like duck (revolting). The waitress walked away at one point whilst I was still talking to her. Food was so bad the meat was one million percent not chicken. Disgusting.

Food was average compared to other smokehouses. Wish we would of gone to burgers and beers over the road. Food arrived cold, normally this wouldn’t bother me but the ribs had obviously been smoked earlier in the day and left to cool but when served they had just been covered in sauce and not heated in anyway. When the issue was originally raised the waiter was a bit confused but polite. After another 30 minutes wait, we cancelled the rest of order and ask for the bill. We then had to speak to someone as they still expected us to pay for food we hadn’t received.
