Big J's Bubba-Q is a takeaway spot serving delicious Southern-style barbecue. Their fried chicken is a standout, made to order and described as the best fried chicken ever by customers. The chicken is super crispy on the outside and juicy inside. The brisket is very tender and juicy, cooked to perfection by the pitmaster. Other popular dishes include chopped pork barbecue, baked beans, mac and cheese, slaw, and cabbage. The brisket plate is highly recommended, with some customers saying it’s probably the best pulled pork in the area. Sides like hush puppies and fried okra are also praised for their great taste, along with yams. Customers note that the food is cooked with care and nothing is lacking in flavor. The atmosphere is simple, with an outside dining area, and the staff is friendly, making every visit enjoyable. The restaurant offers ample parking, and the owner, Bubba, is known for being very nice. Some customers mention that since the chicken is cooked to order, it takes about 30 minutes, but it is well worth the wait. Vegetarian options include vegetables that taste homemade. Although the restaurant doesn’t serve tea, customers have found easy solutions like walking across the street for iced tea and a slice of Coca-Cola cake. Many consider Big J's Bubba-Q one of Asheville’s best BBQ places and highly recommend trying it out.
