    BBQ sauce. - vinegar based
    Michael T.

    Stopped in for some bbq and I love this place! From the hospitality, the nostalgic ambiance to the food it was all great. We dined on the pork belly burnt ends (because why wouldn't you) and the pit master sampler. The sides we had were the mac&cheese, green beans, bacon broccoli salad, coleslaw and banana pudding for dessert. It all tasted great, fresh made and good portions. Definitely worth the 40 min drive for us! If you haven't been, you're missing out.

    Ordered dinner one night and got the ribs and chicken with hush puppies and fries. The ribs were 4 undercooked pieces of fat overly smothered in bbq sauce and were totally inedible. They're wasn't even a bone just softened cartilage. The chicken was a dried out chicken breast with zero taste The fries and hush puppies were soggy and tasted like they were just reheated in a microwave. Nothing for that matter tasted fresh or well made. We ordered at dinner time so everything should've been good. Manager just gave an empty apology. My suggestion is to drive by and find someplace else. Not worth the money or time.

    The food is great but interacting with witty Bubba makes the experiences unique! Sometimes there's even free 'nana pudding.

    Got some BBQ to go. Best I have ever had. No fat, no skin... Just pure lean pork. Love the red slaw and hush puppies too.

    Bubba's BBQ is my favorite Barbecue in Charlotte. So glad they survived Covid and back open for business. Delicious food. Great service.

    This was my first time trying this restaurant, and I can honestly say it's a true hidden gem. From…read morethe moment the food came out, I could tell I was in for a good experience. The brisket was incredibly tender and juicy -- perfectly cooked with great flavor in every bite. You can really taste the care that goes into the preparation. The portions are also very generous, especially for the price, which is something I always appreciate. I love that they give complimentary hush puppies -- that small touch really makes a difference and adds to the overall Southern BBQ experience. The macaroni and cheese was creamy and flavorful, not dry at all, and the collard greens were absolutely amazing -- seasoned perfectly and full of flavor. Definitely some of the best sides I've had in a while. The white sauce and the sweet heat BBQ sauce were both standouts. The white sauce added a tangy kick, while the sweet heat had the perfect balance of sweetness with just enough spice to keep it interesting. Together, they really elevated the meal. Mac's Speed Shop is normally my go-to spot when I'm craving BBQ, but I decided to try something different this time -- and I'm so glad I did. This place truly exceeded my expectations. Between the quality of the food, the portion sizes, and the overall flavor, I will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend giving this place a try if you're looking for delicious, well-seasoned BBQ.

    The service was somewhat prompt, we were greeted and told they'd be with us shortly…read more No turkey, so we opted for pork, chicken, and brisket. Unfortunately, it looked better than it tasted. The food was mostly dry and the star of the show was the fritters, distant second was the pork. The meats were also bland and needed the help from the sauces. We've been but not sure we'd go back.

    Recently tried the karaoke room with a group of friends. We were in the K-Pop room with about 18…read morepeople (fits 25). It was a lot of fun but there are definitely some things that would have made this experience a little smoother for us. Overall, the price is very reasonable when split between the group. One very easy and good improvement would be to move the TV screen to the back of the room. It's positioned in the same area as the "stage" so everyone had to turn their backs to read the lyrics which just felt silly. For a room fit for 25, more mics are needed! I think it's 2 per room regardless of the size. The most frustrating part of our experience is that our YouTube queue was somehow shared with another room's. We would add songs, they would delete them. Random songs would show up in our queue, we would delete them. We didn't realize it until about 20 minutes in. When we told an employee about this, they weren't aware and didn't know what to do about it, but that's definitely something that needs to be sorted out for a better experience. Space-wise it's definitely pretty cramped although you could say that it made things more intimate. Food was good though! I've also had a lot of karaoke experiences where tambourines are included for added fun. Definitely wasn't expecting this, but that could be a fun addition! Overall I've had better karaoke room experiences but I would still go back again and recommend to anyone who's never done this before!

    Came here with a group of ~20 friends to do a karaoke night. We had a lot of fun as a group, but…read morethe actual karaoke experience was not great. My feedback: 1. Add more mics in each room - there were only 2 mics in our room. When I did this style of karaoke before there were 5 or 6 mics so it was easy for the whole group to participate. Our room only had 2 mics. Yes we could share and everyone was able to sing along even if they didn't have a mic, but being able to sing into the mic and pretend you're a pop star while you're up on stage is part of the fun. 2. Rearrange the TV screens/furniture - the "stage" area is on the same wall as the TV, so whoever was singing had to turn their back on the audience to look at the words. 3. Fix the song queuing experience and train staff on how to use/troubleshoot - our group's songs kept disappearing from the queue, and we figured out about halfway through our session that there was a technical issue resulting in two different rooms adding songs to the same queue. When we asked the staff for help they had no idea how to fix the issue. These things are all pretty important to the karaoke experience, so we won't be coming back to this location. However, the rooms at the Noda location are set up a lot better, so we'll probably try there if we go again.

    Love coming here for great food, cheap drinks, and nice bartenders! Nice to be able to sit back and…read morerelax and not be in traffic.

    We brought the whole family out today and left completely blown away. This place is the real deal…read more no shortcuts, no gimmicks, just serious barbecue done right. Chill vibe inside. We went all in on the meats: smoked chicken salad, spareribs, pulled chicken, Carolina-style pork, and BBQ brisket. Every single protein was fall-off-the-bone tender with that perfect smoke ring and deep, layered flavor you can only get from a pit master who actually knows what they're doing. The brisket deserves its own paragraph buttery, juicy, and sliced just right. The sides are not an afterthought here, and that alone sets this place apart. Cheddar cornbread muffins are no joke. mac and cheese was rich and creamy, the baked potato was loaded and generous, and the onion rings had a satisfying crunch. The baked beans had that slow-cooked depth, the collard greens were perfectly seasoned, and the coleslaw was crisp and refreshing ,a great palate cleanser between bites. And then there was the brisket chili. Smoky, hearty, and packed with chunks of real brisket , it's the kind of bowl that makes you wish you saved more room. Everything came out flavorful and cooked with obvious care and pride. the quality was consistent across the board, and the whole family left happy and stuffed. This is the kind of BBQ spot you tell your friends about and then bring them to the following weekend. Absolutely coming back.
