Bubba's Barbecue Reviews
Happened upon this quaint BBQ restaurant on a visit to see our daughter in Charlotte. Happily so. Atmosphere was spot on vintage southern welcoming restaurant. Food was home made deliciousness. Best of all, Bubba (the owner) himself was delightfully charming, with quirky humor, & lots of interesting information. Do yourself a favor, stop in the next chance you get. You won't regret it. We'll definitely be back!!!
Had a work appointment nearby and my colleague, familiar with the area, took me here.
The food was outstanding (had the Brisket plate) sides of green beans and some awesome Mac n Cheese - Loved how each plate comes with hush puppies too.
But the best part of the experience was the owner Bubba/Ralph - coming by to chat with us. This guy should do stand up comedy. He was hilarious with his dead panned / dry sense of humor! Really made it memorable.

Great food and service!! Looking forward to going back again soon!

Bubba's Barbecue, a 30-year institution, serves Eastern-style NC barbecue that's hard to beat. The checkered-tablecloth dining room is cozy, creating a welcoming atmosphere for all customers. The food is consistently good to great, with standouts like pork belly burnt ends and their delicious BBQ sauce. The staff provides friendly service, and customers often praise the sweet and attentive workers who check in to ensure everything is to their liking. Many visitors from outside the area appreciate the authentic NC BBQ, especially the vinegar sauce and collard greens. The restaurant's banana pudding is highly recommended, with some calling it the best they've ever had, even noting the addition of pineapple for a sweet twist. The men's room offers a unique experience, adding a quirky charm to the visit. While most reviews highlight the quality of the meals and friendly service, some diners have found the burnt ends to be greasy and fatty, not always meeting expectations. Overall, Bubba's remains a top destination for delicious barbecue and a cozy dining experience, though customers should double-check their drinks for a proper pour.
