Was recommended this by a friend and I was extremely disappointed in the food, chicken had no flavour, the mac and cheese was like cardboard and the beef brisket was mostly fat. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone

Great food, great service. Highly recommend this place. We ordered 2 plates of nachos between 4 of us and really should have only had 1 because we really struggled with the main course. So much food!! It's amazing!!

Best described as limp, very poor quality in the ‘smoked’ meats. No smoke penetration noticeable on anything we tried suggesting they had not been cooked low and slow on a smoker at all. A real let down for my wife’s birthday meal. Staff were attentive and prompt but the product let the whole thing down

Hidden treasure on the royal Mile, not much to see from the street but we'll worth a visit. Good choice of menu, good value for money and delicious food. Went with 3 friends and everyone impressed with their food. Staff friendly and attentive.

Good experience overall. perhaps too much food on the plate. Some of my food was really hot, other parts not so much. Service was great, nice and friendly. If you want a lot of food, for a decent amount of money, this is the place for you.

I used to LOVE BubbaQ, but since they've changed their menu I'm not as keen. Don't get me wrong; it's still a feed. But I'd probably not choose it first anymore.

another meaty meal at Bubba Q. The brisket special was not up to the usual standards of their menu. Stick to the ribs and you will be a happy and very full diner!

As always, great food from Bubba Q. The menu there is getting bigger so it's tough to decide on what to eat. I recommend the baby back ribs though, and the BBQ beans are awesome too.

great meal, menu has changed but same great tastes and the same team looking after front and kitchen duties. You have to want meat with extras but this place gives you that and in a great way. We had baby back ribs and pork sliders. sweet potato fries and chilli fries, onion rings and corn on the cob. meat was yummy, soft and flavourful a sweetness you'd expect. Fries and rings were crispy and hot (their chilli is amazing I'd eat a bowl of that on it's own!). Corn rather overdone but still yum.

Always a good food experience at Bubba Q. Staff friendly and helpful, decent beer and wine, relaxed atmosphere. Portions large and tasty. Menu has changed a bit. Only thing I miss is the thick sliced brisket not on menu now. Can still get beef slices on a bun though, which is still very good and the taqos are excellent. Popular place so need to book at busy times. Unique relaxed dining.
