They offer a good list of sides, and I chose fries with the sandwich. The portion of meat was generous, and the cole slaw on the sandwich was just right. I'd order it again without the bun -- it was bigger than I prefer. The brisket was flavorful and juicy. The potato salad and corn both had good, solid flavor. The roll was fine, nothing special. The fried pickles were a miss. I didn't care for the coating, and they were extremely greasy. I threw them away. All in all, it's a great place for dinner. Good food at a good price.

I ordered a rib dinner with macaroni and cheese and collard greens as my sides. Every bite was so, so, so very great! The barbeque sauce is amazing in taste and texture, not watered down, too spicy or too sweet. Macaroni and cheese is perfect too, homemade baked like I make myself. The greens were delicious once I got home and mixed in some hot sauce. This is the kind of place I'd love to stop and eat at everyday. My meal also came with white bread and cornbread but I didn't have room in my belly to eat either. Down home cooking. Loved it!

I finally came to the right Bubba's( please see review for Bubba's 33). We arrived like 9:10 pm and pretty much 20 minutes before closing. Er were promptly greeted and we advised them we were going to give their menu a look. We decided on pick 3, which consisted of: brisket, 3 piece ribs, and half a chicken, for the sides were got macaroni and cheese and crinkled cut fries. We paid for our meal and picked a booth near the entrance. I almost forgot to mention we got a drink an made us some Arnold Palmer and for dessert with got banana pudding. We sat at our booth and our food arrived nice and hot. Fries very tasty and crunchy. We dived into the food I had a piece of brisket, nicely smoked and very moist. They had a variety of barbeque sauces you can you at your leisure. I picked a vinegar flavored and hickory sweet smoke which I alternated as I ate the meats. Let's talk sides. French fries fresh and crispy, now when it came for the macaroni it gives you flavor of the KFC version, it's alright. It came with a piece of toast. Taste similar to the cheez bread from Sizzlers just softer. (I'm showing my age). We had so much food and unless I'm very hungry we tend to share a plate. We took the banana pudding home and later tried it. The banana pudding was OMG, to die for, it had a very homemade taste. I highly recommend this dessert. Restaurant had a very cozy feel. The ambiance seem kind of quiet, but mind you we went on a Sunday night. The workers were very polite and attentive. If in the Brandon area, this is a must try.

Don't get me wrong, it was clean and at least covered but eating a hot sandwich while it's already hot outside it's not as enjoyable as it could be; at least put up some fans. 3 1/2 stars. Now onto my sandwich, this is where I was disappointed mostly. The brisket Cuban didn't look like the brisket Cuban you see them post online. I expected like a thicker slice of brisket in between the bread but instead there were small pieces of chopped brisket. Had I known that, I wouldn't have ordered or probably even came. The mac & cheese was good too, nothing to write home about, but I would order it again. The quality of the food was good, i just didn't feel like they lived up to the high expectations. 4 stars. Service was nothing special so maybe a 3 1/2 stars. Oh and they forgot my Mac & cheese at first. I ended up taking my food home and eating it later that night and I will say, it was much better when you're actually comfortable eating so had that been my initial experience I would've felt more strong about it. Overall, I don't feel like they hit that five star rating for me and my experience left me rating a 3 1/2 but I went up to a four cause the quality is good, and the prices are decent. I'd go back if that Cuban ever had a whole slice of brisket in the sandwich, not chopped!
