This was my first trip here after wanting to go here for some time. Parking was very limited on a Friday @ noon, not too many parking spots available. Was able to order quickly at the counter and food arrived within 10 minutes. There is both indoor and outdoor seating, but it was already too warm to sit outside and eat hot food, unless you like that kind of thing! I ordered the 3-meat combo plate with pulled pork, brisket burnt ends and baby back ribs. Sides I picked were coleslaw and elote. Meal also came with a corn muffin. The highlights: Brisket burnt ends were tender with good bark and had nice flavor. The pulled pork was also very tasty and tender. Sauce was nicely balanced (they even sell it if you want some to go). Corn muffin was light, fluffy and delicious, not too sweet and the honey butter had some cinnamon in it which turned out to be a winner in my book. The "room for improvement" came with the ribs, elote and the coleslaw. The ribs were a bit disappointing. They were a tad dry and overwhelmingly smoky in flavor. I was looking for the succulent, fall-off-the-bone kind of rib with a delicious rub perhaps. As for the coleslaw, it was honestly very bland. No tang, no sweet, no distinct flavor. Needed a little salt too. The elote was a nice idea but the corn lost all its moisture (sat in dry heat too long?) and was kind of shriveled upon arrival. The toppings were good, but I was hoping for juicy, spits-in-your-eye kind of corn. All in all, I would definitely go back. It's hard to judge a place like this off one visit and the food I did like, I would return for. read more

Holy moly, the food was scrumptious! We ordered the brisket, burger, and salad with slow roasted chicken on top. My husband also ordered a beer. We will definitely be back. Loved the bright space, and appreciated the very friendly staff. We highly recommend this place! read more

Half hour wait for one pork sandwich. One other patron was waiting. Where is the service? They used to be the best. I guess all the help went to the new restaurant in Cashmere. read more

A nice find hidden next to a car wash. Interesting vibe, clean and good atmosphere. Service is you order at counter inside, pick up food on the outside and go back inside (when it is raining) and have a nice meal. Had the Brisket Philly with Elote (on cob). All was very good. Will come back for sure. read more

I'm not a huge BBQ fan, but this place is my go-to when I'm in that mood. My Aunt introduced me to this little gem. I wouldn't have found it on my own; it is tucked away in an awkward spot. The food is very flavorful. I have not had a dish I didn't enjoy. The meat is tender and seasoned well, not so peppery that it can't be eaten, just well balanced. The sides are done well and are all solid. My biggest struggle is narrowing down what I want. It is all so good. The staff is always friendly and patient with two indecisive old ladies. I genuinely appreciate them. I recommend going with friends who don't mind sharing off their plates. We are a special kind. You will likely want to try more than just one or two things. You order your food inside, prepared in the truck outside. Sounds odd, but it works. The seating inside is suitable for BBQ and usually has sporting events to grab your attention on the TV. On lovely days, they have the big doors open so you can enjoy Wenatchee's pleasant climate. read more

I am a super picky, hard to please foodie. I thought I've had good burgers before I tried Bubba J's.. I had the Bleu cheese jalapeño burger with baked beans and hubby had the bacon cheese.. OMG. If the general public knew about this, they'd be putting the chain restaurants out of business. Wish I could get the recipe for the baked beans! read more

My first time here and I'm impressed. I ordered for take-out: the 2 Meat Family Pack Combo. The whole meal was delicious and the portion sizes were very generous, more than expected--easily 2 or 3 meals for 2 people. The baked beans were exactly the time-honored picnic flavor we all remember, and the coleslaw was saucy sweet, crisp, and fresh. The cinnamon-honey-butter that comes with the cornbread was a real delight--made the cornbread almost a dessert entrée. Both, the bbq pulled pork, and bbq chicken favors were right on point. And the skin on the chicken thighs was crispy, which added to the bark flavor. The pulled pork was a little stringy and the chicken thighs were somewhat dry, but there was no questioning of the quality of the meat. It's easy to overcook meat in a smoker. Nonetheless, the flavor was not compromised--we totally enjoyed the meal, which was still hot, even after a 20 minute ride home. The facilities are modern, clean and comfortable, with plenty of indoor seating. And there's ample outdoor parking. Good job, Bubba! read more

This is the best BBQ place hands down. I will be back time and time again to try everything they have on the menu. The service was incredible they're very nice and pretty quick. The portions were amazing for the price. The whole esthetic of the inside sit down area is beautiful. I love all of the cute highland cows and farm vibes it's amazing, and they even have a cute kids corner. This place is a 10/10 I can't wait to come back again. read more

I did take away with the burnt end platter, corn, beans, and hush puppy cornbread. The burnt ends were really awesome with the reaper hot sauce, the corn and beans were very good and the hush puppy corn bread made a perfect desert. I'll come back and eat in their indoor/outdoor seating area and bring friends read more

Great food. I really enjoyed the experience. The place was quick and good. It is my new mid week place

Not low and slow. Ribs are a sickly greyish green. They're boiled and then briefly smoked. No bark. No smoke ring. Meat was tough and DRY. It came off the bone but these are bad. All the flavor was in the sauce. The chopped brisket is slightly better but not worth writing home about. Interior dining is fine. Parking is TIGHT. Price is reasonable for quantity of food but make no mistake, these are not spending 4-8 hours on the smoker. Not coming back. Home smoked on pellets is MUCH better. read more

Very good and plenty of meat. My wife had the pulled pork sandwich and I had the brisket pountine. This place is hidden but worth finding

It's really not that easy to find damn good BBQ in Wa state. However, this is it! I had the baby back ribs with mac & cheese plus bbq beans. The meat was so good; it fell off the bone. I also have to mention how amazing the bbq beans were! My son and husband got the chili mac topped with brisket. THEY LOVED IT!!! Very friendly service!! We will definitely be back!! read more

Excellent BBQ joint. Curds and Mac n' cheese bites were smackin' (my kids' description). The burnt ends were so flavorful and tender. The tots and fries were crispy and delicious. The service was perfect. The guy that took our order was super friendly, knew the menu, and was very personable. The indoor seating was exactly what we were looking for. It was clean and perfectly themed. Very kid friendly and our kids enjoyed playing while we waited. It is definitely at the top of my list of great BBQ places to visit again.10/10 recommend. read more

The best BBQ in town! We always try to eat here whenever we are out and about. Good food and great service.

I've had ribs all over the country and tonight these were the best. Besides my dad's, I don't think I've had a rack of ribs from the same place two days in a row. Sides are solid too. Customer service was great! read more

If you haven't been to Bubba J's, what are you waiting for? I grew up in the Deep South (Mississippi). I have BBQ and smoke running through my veins. In my over 30 years of living on the West Coast, Seattle, San Francisco, and LA, this is hands down the best BBQ I've had, and I've had it all. This is legit. Like you pulled up to a place in Memphis Tennessee, Kansas City or Austin, Texas, it's make you wanna slap your mama barbecue. And my mama hits back, so I wouldn't lie to you. It's worth every penny they are charging and then some. I promise you will not be disappointed. read more

Stopped in for lunch yesterday. This was our first time visiting Bubba J 's BBQ. Tried the pulled pork sandwich with a side of beans. Both items by far the best bbq I tasted in a very long time. Pork was plentiful, full of smoky flavors, hot and moist but not too moist. Seasoning was moderate, I prefer a little more spicy, they have three levels of sauce all are excellent. My opinion the best in town. Service was great,friendly and helpful. Inside was clean and well maintained with a small area the young ones. Parking lot is small little confusing at first, but not too bad. read more

I'm pretty particular about my BBQ, and I was pleasantly surprised by this place! The chicken thighs, pulled pork, corn on the cob - all delicious. I look forward to trying more menu items! read more

Probably the only reason I drive 70 miles, it's well worth it! Such large portions and tasty food!

How did I pay 42 from a combo that cost 28 dollars , service was amazing, but food was cold , ribs cold tender but cold , brisket burnt end super cold on inside , read more

The place is well put together, the food truck looks great and the small indoor counter, restrooms, and seating areas were very clean! The pork ribs were way over cooked (definitely from the steamer keeping then warm). The meats we ordered were bland, not a lot of smoke from their smokers. The brisket was chopped not sliced so all of the fat cap was part of the total weight (8oz portions). Their two BBQ sauces tasted like a mixture of Costco sauce with a few added personal spices.... Very blah, but you had to add the sauce to the meat because of the dryness of the meat. Mac and cheese was cheesy (Gouda I believe) but no depth of flavor. The beans were okay, but a food truck should have outstanding sides, we did not find those sides. The brisket was better than the pork ribs, 100% but in a world of other restaurant choices I recommend you spend your money elsewhere. The owner, took our order, and she was very pleasant. One soda, 1/2 order of Brisket, one pork ribs, two Mac and cheeses, one bbq beans, and water were almost $45. The meal was not worth that amount, sorry Bubba J's. You need to step up your quality of your food, make some authentic bbq, not generic tasting or cheap tasting trash. read more

Every time I come into this establishment, I leave feeling satisfied and full. Service is top-notch and food is even better. I have not been disappointed once. Best BBQ in town. read more

Bubba J's BBQ is a true gem the staff was very friendly, the atmosphere fun and inviting. And the decor was cool and comfortable. Now for the food, I got the loaded BBQ burrito with fries inside (definitely get the fries inside). This thing was massive, like enough for a midnight snack, breakfast the next morning and lunch. The brisket inside was perfect the Mac n' cheese with bbq sauce and fries all mixed in was divine. This will now be one of my must stop at places in Wenatchee. read more

Over about 6 visits now i've tried quite a few different items and i have the same complaint across the board... too fatty and too greasy! Every sandwich i've had has been grilled in butter or oil to the point where the bread is soggy and saturated. Both the brisket grilled cheese and the brisket dip were more than half comprised of gelatinous chunks of fat, not actual meat. The mac & cheese has been separated every time with a pool of oil at the bottom at the bowl. The bun on the pulled pork sandwich was so soggy i couldn't eat it because it was disintegrating into mush. I really want to like the food here because most of the flavors are good but it keeps leaving me feeling greasy and a bit sick to my stomach. I do love the location however, and the staff is always nice! read more

I am a regular at this establishment however my recent experience has been the worst I've ever had here. I usually order a one piece combo which has always been very good. Last night I decided to try a different item from the menu. (Which was a bad idea) I ordered the Nashville hot chicken sandwich to go. When I got home the sandwich had so much Nashville hot sauce on it that the bottom bun was completely soggy. For $17 I expected more. Now I know not to stray from my usual order. I am very disappointed with the quality of preparation of this meal. read more

The best bbq in town. I can't believe i haven't found it sooner. I loved everything about it.

Stopped in today and had the 2 meat platter with pulled pork and chopped brisket with the mac and cheese and slaw. Also had the jalapeno dinner cake, the cinnamon honey butter made that cornbread cake over the top! This place is tucked in by the car wash next to the costco, so it's a bit hidden, but man the BBQ was so worth stopping by. Will definitely go there again! read more

We were hankering for some bbq and this place didn't disappoint. We tried the brisket Philly and the Nashville hot chicken sandwich. It was all on point. The flavors all came together with a nice spice to them both. Although the sandwiches cost a little more it was worth it. There is no skimping on quality and quantity. You won't go away hungry. We need to support a local family putting out quality food, give it a try! read more
