As a native Florida boy this was truly appreciated :-) The brisket was def above average for FL BBQ. The ribs were good, the smoke wings were very good. The sides were enjoyable too.

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! Can't say enough good things about the owners here, both extremely kind, sweet people.

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.
