Awesome service ( Jessica ). Food was good but one sister was not happy with her meal they made her something else. read more

The corn fritters were excellent, but they were too sweet for me. The barbecue brisket was tender, and the baby back ribs were perfect. You could just pull them off the bone but they didn't fall off the bone. (So they were made like competition ribs!). Perfect. Aliya was our server and she was sooooo friendly and service was excellent. She did a great job. I would definitely come back. This is our first visit, and half an hour away from home, but I would still drive to come here. Excellent BBQ!!! A-lot of food for your money! read more

Consistently great barbeque! We had pulled pork, sticky bones ribs and my favorite deep fried corn on the cob. Our server, Casey, was friendly and attentive, as are all the employees we encountered. Always an enjoyable visit. read more

Came here on a Monday on a day when a half rack of St Louis ribs was the special. Very moderately priced which was under $18 Couple that with a side of broccoli and some rice and I was happy . Spouse had StLouis ribs as well ,although I think she had baked potato. This place is actually underrated the food is that good. Service was decent. I wouldn't say top shelf but they were busy which was the problem and we chose to sit outside because it was probably late afternoon and it was shaded in such a way we weren't gonna be in direct sunlight but there was a nice breeze which contributed to the great atmosphere. Throw back a couple of chilly ones to accommodate our food and everybody was happy. My nephew lives local out here and I don't recall what he had , but he was happy and so was his GF. This place is underrated for barbecue. You must give them a try ! read more

We had a new waitress, Shannon, who was so sweet and kept our dogs' water bowls filled up! read more

Past nine many times, but never tried this place before. Well heading towards Tampa I decided to stop off for a quick lunch. The place was half full at lunchtime. I tried the slider special because I was not sure what I wanted and it had a sample of everything. The food came out quickly and very tasty. They had a wide variety of sauces to choose from offering everything you could want. read more

Looking for a late meal since we're on the road and we happened upon this place. So glad that we did! We ordered the pick 2 or 3 meats dinner- 3 brisket and 2 mac-n-cheese. Also ordered the chicken wing (6 piece) dinner with collard greens. Everything was delicious! The brisket was perfect with plenty of moisture and flavor. The wings are a decent size isn't good flavor as well. I'm a greens person and yum to the collard greens. I could go on but I encourage you to try it yourself!! read more

So I must update my review of BubbaQue's. Hubby and I went back to give another try. This time I must admit everything was really good. The ribs, chicken, okra (which I love) were delicious. Meat was tender and had good flavor. Service was great and ambiance was very nice. Looking forward to another great meal. read more

Was OK. Not great but not terrible. There are better options. Doubt I'll be back. I must say the staff was friendly and the place was clean. read more

Had the sliders. The pork and the chicken was very tough, not even a little moist. The slider rolls were hard and didn't eat them. My partner had the baby back ribs and they were very dry. Very disappointed. Won't be going there again. read more

Service was great, the server was very professional and attentive. Food was very good and reasonable priced. This is fast food establishment, so ambiance is not a priority. On the other hand, the restaurant is clean and well maintained. I couldn't read the servers name but it ends in a "I a ". read more

Had the best experience with our server Shannon!! She was so personable and has such a kind soul! When you come to Bubbaques definitely ask for her as your server! The food was amazing and so was the rest of the staff, always so friendly and welcoming. It is such a fun place to eat at and hang out at! read more

My husband and I had a great experience while visting the area from MA. Aliya provided exceptional service!

I actually ordered food to go and the waitress who helped me in the drive-through Inayah was fantastic. I had never been here before. I just saw the restaurant as I was driving home from playing around the golf and wanted some food. She was very helpful and went over the menu with me which was very extensive as I had no idea what offerings were available to me. I ordered the ribs with a side of greens and baked beans as well as an order of shrimp with a second side of greens. The shrimp was OK, the ribs were OK. I don't eat a lot of pork or red meat so when I do, I'm very selective about it and I am pretty good at doing barbecue ribs myself being from New Orleans. The sides however we're very good. The greens were good and the baked beans were fantastic. Like I said, I was not a huge fan of the ribs. I felt they could've have been more tender however, my experience was good enough, especially with my waitress that I will definitely give them another go and try some of the other main entrées next time such as possibly the pulled pork or the chicken. read more

The service is always top notch! Julia, my server tonight, was on top of her game! She always came by to ask how if the food was good and kept my iced tea full. The food has always been hot and tasty. read more

Great friendly service. From KC and we weren't sure what to expect with Florida BBQ, but it was great. Moist, smoked well, and lots of homemade BBQ options (sweet, Smokey, spicy, mustard, and vinegar)! If we lived closer, we'd definitely be back! read more

Casey gave us an amazing first-time experience at BubbaQue's by explaining the menu and daily specials. The brisket and chicken were perfectly cooked. We enjoyed the tasty fried okra and coleslaw salad. The restaurante was clean and looked very nice. We highly recommend the BubbaQue's in Bradenton location. We can't wait to visit it again! read more

The food was excellent, and Payton our waitress was awesome. That was our first time but not our last!!

I travel all over the United States I'm from Omaha so I know what good beef is supposed to taste like I travel through Kansas City so I know what good barbecue supposed to taste like I travel through St Louis so I know it's St Louis barbecue should taste like I go through Mississippi Alabama Arkansas and Texas so I eat barbecue all over the place and I will tell you this is not the best but it's damn good and just knows even their hottest barbecue sauce is actually not that hot... I have recommended they get something hotter but if you mix there rump roaster and their Mississippi Mud it's a sweet with a Cayenne kicker The service was freaking amazing the server was always there when we needed her and she wasn't around when we didn't the manager actually waited until I finished chewing before he asked how the food was that doesn't happen a lot of places They use a lot of hardwood here so it looks like what a lot of barbecue places look like so that seems to be pretty standard but they got lots of TVs and stuff going on if you get bored We had the brisket and the meaty back ribs both excellent their french fries taste good their mac and cheese taste good I can recommend the jalapeno poppers but if you don't get their barbecue baked beans there's something wrong with you To in the mail we got the deep fried Oreo cookies I'm not sure there's a bad way to do those but these are pretty damn good and they get a little side of chocolate sauce and a chocolate sauce is really good read more

Our server Courtney and Casey were really lovely! Our combo platter of brisket and smoked turkey was delicious, though the smoked turkey was a tad bit salty for my preference. Granted though I think my favorite part was the mac n cheese. Thank you for a wonderful time from my mom and myself! read more

I am from Memphis and can guarantee this is authentic Memphis BBQ. The waitress Courtney made it extra special for me because she worked with the kitchen staff to whip up a special BBQ baked potato. I love it. We come here often and never had a bad meal. If you like BBQ you will not find better in Florida read more

The "nachos" are just horrible crinkle fries with chicken and cheese thrown on top and so little cheese why bother? But the two pulled pork sandwiches for $10 and happy hour beer more than made up for that crime on food. Just get the specials and it's a good deal and tasty. read more

Food was great. Try the poppers. Lots of gluten free items. Carey was awesome. So sweet and knows her gluten free items!! read more
