Decided to try this place on the way up north. Building itself is very cool inside and outside. Food is ok, I did not feel well after eating lunch here. It just didn’t sit well, wasn’t a food poisoning issue or anything. Portions were good size.

Very bad experience we spent $145.25 to get a hair in are food and for the cashier person to argue with me and try to say that it was my daughter's hair When my daughter's hair is blonde and the hair was black and my husband bit into the rib , pulled off the meat and there was a hair hanging off and I went to have them make it right but they just wanted to blame my daughter and not let me explain what happened and her attitude was not needed I even told her look im just trying to tell u on how it came out but no she was cutting me off

Sounds like this place is hit or miss but for us it was a hit! We really enjoyed the beef brisket and pork ribs, and all the sides were very tasty. I also really liked the fun decor, would be a great place to bring kids. Their bbq sauce could be better and the price is also a little too expensive, but overall really good place.

We have lived all of the US, including TX. This was the best BBQ I have ever had. Fantastic!!

It smelled very good from the outside. The service was fast and polite. You order, pick up your food and clean your own table. They have pinball machines. The bbq was not the best I have had but not too bad. If you are wanting to try it, I encourage you to make your own opinion. I had the turkey leg so that might be different flavor than the brisket or chicken or ribs.
Big Bubba's 'Bad' BBQ certainly lives up to its name—but not in the way they intend.
Per notice, the owner displays her combative attitude in response to the numerous reviews sharing experience of well her being combative!
The worst part of the experience was the owner. The brisket we ordered was literally so dry we gagged and choked on it. It was also a strange, pale white color. When I tried to explain this, the owner rushed over—not to help, but to be argumentative. She essentially tried to authoritatively lecture me, claiming that brisket is supposed to be that way. When I pressed the issue because I wasn't being heard, she just gave me a fake smile and made a noise as if she was dismissing me. It was incredibly condescending. On top of that, the macaroni salad was not fresh at all. It is a real shame because her son, who took our order, was quite nice and helpful. The tri-tip was actually tasty and interesting, served in slices the size of bacon. But a polite son and decent tri-tip can't make up for an owner who serves inedible food and treats customers with such disrespect.

I ordered the (apparently) famous trip tip. The trip tip was indeed very good to excellent and the pairing sauces were very good. Next time, I shall order the sandwich, as that sounds delicious also. I also ordered the chicken. That was cooked to perfection. I rates the service with just three stars because when I went to pick up my order, I went to the register and the lady receiving me did not smile and seemed confused with my request for pick up. Then she sent me to the pick up area, all without any amount of friendliness. This, only somewhat #recommended #bechego

Great food and delicious BBQ - for me it was overpriced for a seat yourself and order-at-the-counter experience. Easily $100 and over for a family of four.
The woman at the cash register wasn’t personable or friendly to deal with either - which didn’t help the overpriced experience

Female bartender was rude to other customers when we were sitting at the bar. We went back the following night and she was so rude to us when we entered that we left and ate at the restaurant next door.
