Every time I come to Eureka, from Tulsa, I have to eat at Bubba's barbecue at least once. I have traveled a lot and I have yet to find a place that has as good as ribs and chicken as this place. Everything is always so tender and really seasoned properly. Staff is friendly and online ordering is a breeze. Highly recommend this place when you're in Eureka Springs Arkansa. read more

We had a large to go order on St. Paddy's day towards the end of the day. The food was good, just not the best BBQ ever. The inside was decorated super fun and everyone enjoyed a green beer :) read more

After reading the reviews, I was excited about eating here, I love BBQ! I was disappointed. The ribs were very tinder but had very little flavor. My wife had pulled pork and it had less. If this is some of the best BBQ in NW Arkansas, there is no reason to order BBQ. The service was ok at best. Disappointed. read more

We stopped here for dinner and was not disappointed one bit! The host was so friendly and our server Sharon was one of the best! She was so friendly and her personality was great! It's definitely a family restaurant & as you'll see in my photos the patio welcomes your pet, that's always a plus! The food was great & we'd surely come back when in the area!! Plenty of parking as well. read more

This was my second visit with the sam results. The service and atmosphere was good but the BBQ was tough lacking flavor.

Service was good that was it food was dry with no flavor and the cook will talk crap about you if you tell the truth don't waist your money here McDonald's burgers have more flavor as well read more

Bubba's barbecue is amazing. Also very pet friendly. The chips and salsa were unbelievable. Salsa is some of the best I've ever had. Barbecue was top-notch. Have to try it. read more

Bubba's Barbecue - Amazing restaurant and dog friendly. Bubbas bbq was amazing and the salsa was u believable. Best restaurant we ate at in Eureka Springs. - Barbeque Near Me - Eureka Springs, Arkansas

We had the loaded fries, bbq sampler and pulled pork sandwich. The ambiance is nice but the state of the food was bland to say the least. In fact, I don't believe I've ever had BBQ as bland as theirs. Not only was it devoid of any seasoning but it barely had a smokey flavor. I highly recommend Sauced over this joint if BBQ is what you seek. Service was fine but their prices are terribly out of sync with the quality of their food. read more

Ordered the chopped brisket dinner and the brisket was all fat with no flavor and the baked beans were dry and nasty and the coleslaw was probably the grossest I've ever tried definitely would NOT recommend read more

Service was amazing they were respectful and kind . This Barbecue was also really good the pulled pork is to die for. And don't get me started on the ribs. The ambiance was filled with country music it was so nice. read more

In all fairness, we visited Bubba's just a few days after the new owners took over. So. Hopefully the items that I mention that needed attention have been taken care of now. Bubba's is an institution in Eureka Springs. I had a SLICED Brisket sandwich.the meat was more chopped than sliced and was quite dry. It did have a good Smokey flavor and the sauces were good. Bubba's is what you would hope for from a BBQ Joint with Cold Beer and the hint of smoke in the air. I wish them the best. read more

Service was great and extremely fast. Wife had salad with pulled pork and was extremely pleased. I had 1/4 chicken and 1/4 rack of ribs. Very good. Also ordered a piece of key lime pie but was full and saving it for later. read more

Bubbas is a neat spot. Staff was friendly and the dining room was comfortable. The BBQ sandwich was to be expected and the BBQ beans were pretty good. The BBQ nachos however disappointed. It was more like veggie nachos with a little bit of pork buried under melted cheese that held all the chips together. For the price is wasn't good. I still recommend giving it a try. I'd go back and try their ribs. We made a tiktok on the place if you care to see: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTN723n4G/ read more

Definite middle of the road.....our server was fantastic, so let's get that right up front. Food wise I had the brisket sandwich and my wife had the pulled pork. My brisket was pretty good but the pulled pork was so so. Bread looked like a wonder bread roll, and the chips were stale. Decent but definitely room for improvement. read more

The back patio is vibey with an acoustic set! Food was good and staff was nice! The new owners are definitely making a change !

Best bbq food I've ever had. Service is next to none. Lovely homely atmosphere x I will come back time and time again

Favorite in Eureka Springs. Chicken is wonderful, ribs usually great too but this trip Friday night they were a bit too fatty for me. Key lime pie is always a favorite. Service is great. Atmosphere casual relaxed. read more

We had Nancy for our waitress. She was a lot of fun and makes a great Margarita! We were visiting Eureka Springs and enjoyed Bubbas so much, we came back the next day for a drink and appetizers. Please tell Nancy our choice for dinner that night was not very good. Next time, we will try her suggestion!! PS.. my husband found his hat read more

Super friendly fast service. Good portions and pricing. Diner vibe. However, I'm from KC, and I did t think I was a BBQ snob, but I apparently am, lol. The food was good, just missing that wow factor. Beans were good, and to me, the slaw was just normal. read more

BBQ brisket nachos are amazing. Real cheese. Good meat. Homemade chips. Love it! We had plenty of food in one order of nachos with a side of cheese dip, which was real, full-flavored cheese instead of the watery thinned out stuff from other places. We sat out on the deck for a very comfy experience, out in the fresh air, smelling the aroma of smoked meats... Traffic noise was minimal and not at all off-putting. Friendly and accommodating wait staff is on par with expectations. It's also right across the street from the Tree House Cottages, so extremely convenient. We shall return on subsequent visits to Eureka. read more

A truly Local review We ate there last night and it was absolutely delicious . The service was wonderful. We will definitely be back !!! Thank you, Doug read more

I love checking out BBQ restaurants on my travels and we chose Bubba's for our stay in Eureka Springs this week. With my wife ordering the chicken and rib plate, I decided to go a bit out of character and order the Bubba Link sandwich - two split hot links with chili and cheese on ciabatta bread and fries. A big regret. An impossible sandwich to try and eat with your hands, It should have been served in a bun to hold the chili in place. Hot Links - average; smokey and tender but a tough casing. Chili - probably some of the worst I've experienced at a BBQ restaurant. Bleh - no smokey meat morsels or sweet and tangy sauce; just very below average diner style chili. Fries, plentiful but way undercooked. I sampled a rib and a bit of chicken from my wifes plate - again just ordinary and non-memorable. I did enjoy the sampling of coleslaw from her plate. If Bubba's were in the Kansas City metro, it wouldn't crack the top 40. The place does have a great little rural touristy vibe and the service was adequate but I wish we had chosen a different place. read more

Friendly staff, good prices, ample portions. Homey atmosphere. I had the Cluck & Squeal (sounds like a good time!) 1/4 chicken and 1/4 slab of ribs. Both were well smoked. Ribs displayed a prominent smoke ring. Both had good smoke scent and taste. However, both also lacked noticeable seasoning. The sauces were unremarkable. The "hot" seemed to be red-colored vinegar, and the mild was workmanlike at best. Side beans and cole slaw also unremarkable. Ciabatta bread was fresh and soft. Special Gal had a Cuban sandwich, which she didn't much care for until she added the mild sauce. read more

I wasn't sure whether to give this place 4 stars or 5, and then we had the key lime pie. read more

EXCELLENT JOB AND HUGE PORTIONS. Thank you!! This local spot makes me happy as I always see other locals and the employees actually look like they enjoy their job. read more

Dry sandwich on a dry bun with freezer burned fries. None of it was good. Not worth the $18. The bbq sauce on the side looks and tastes like it was diluted with ketchup. read more

Bubba's Barbecue - Pulled Pork Shoulder Sandwich with fries. - Barbeque Near Me - Eureka Springs, Arkansas

The brisket was basically roast. Stringy, dry, and could barely chew it. The ribs and beans were good, but everything else was disappointing. read more

I liked that they offered a nice salad. Pulled pork was good. It could have been spicier. The wait staff was very attentive and friendly. I like the decor and design of the restaurant. Lots of seating inside and outside. Prices were reasonable. read more

The atmosphere was very casual. Service was efficient. The food came out within minutes, which was surprisingly good. The ribs were falling off the bone and was delicious. Note: I added their bbq sauce and hot sauce to them. I loved the pork and beans. That was different than I'm use to (in a good way) read more

Very friendly server! She was nice explain different choices available... BBQ chicken was fantastic... Will def. be back!! read more

I hate leaving such a bad review. But this was the worst BBQ I've had. Everything was dry and tasteless. The coleslaw was all minced up like it was put threw a blender, so it was really mushy. And it didn't taste like coleslaw, just watery mayo. I had brisket, pork, ribs and chicken. Couldn't finish anything. Server was friendly though read more

The food and service are so good here!! We found this restaurant almost ten years ago and loved it then. So when we were back in Eureka we had to stop again. Still amazing food and their Key Lime pie is so good! read more

This has always been a "HAVE TO STOP" when we are in Eureka Springs but today the ribs were some of the best I've ever had anywhere. That is saying a lot because I rarely pass a BBQ place without indulging. And don't skip the fries, my normal diet doesn't include potatoes but I only make it to Bubba's a couple times a year so I cheat.! Also, we usually get the same sweet server every time we go...all the staff are very nice and friendly. read more

Bubba's Barbecue - Baby back Ribs (half rack) - Barbeque Near Me - Eureka Springs, Arkansas

A must-visit when you're in town. Bubbas is a Eureka Springs institution. Best Barbecue you can get and fair prices. Great atmosphere

OMG!! Great service & exceptional BBQ!! The sides are made in house, the beans were my favorite. The owner (Brian) hangs out with patrons & is such a genuine chap. The pork ribs...Im sorry husband, this place is the best I've had in ages. I travel a lot for work & always seek out superior pork. Never did find anything like this in Texas!! Tender, well seasoned & so good that I need to fly back to Eureka Springs for the best ribs ever! Thank you! read more

Bubba's Barbecue - The best pork ribs ever! - Barbeque Near Me - Eureka Springs, Arkansas

Ate dinner at Bubba's while visiting Eureka Springs. They had a full parking area on the street (Hwy 62), but the lot behind/below the building had plenty of space. Most people were seated indoors (air-conditioned), but we decided to eat on their deck at one of the wooden picnic tables. A hostess brought us our menus promptly and took our drink orders. Soon after a waitress took our orders. The food came quickly and was what we expected. It was good, not the best we've ever had, but not bad either. read more

Great little place away from all the craziness of downtown. We were drawn in by a sign we saw the sign for a smoked Bologna Sandwich. We went back the next day and they did not have that but they did have a smoked bologna with pulled pork sandwich and that is what she ordered. I ordered the 3 little pigs and both were wonderful. Great smoke flavor and sauces were good as well. Sides were good standards. We sat on the patio and enjoyed the afternoon breeze. Service was attentive and friendly! read more

Bubba's was pretty good! The food comes in pretty decent sized servings for a good price, but if you are looking for BBQ that will blow you away, I wouldn't get your hopes up. It was delicious but tasted about the same as any other BBQ restaurant out there. If you like coleslaw, I DEFINITELY wouldn't get your hopes up because it is practically just lettuce and pepper, was so boring i couldn't eat more than a bite. The baked beans and their homemade BBQ sauce was very flavorful and had just enough of a kick to make you notice! The customer service was great, and they had a bright, colorful restaurant with good oldies music to put you in a good mood! If you are looking for dinner options, I would recommend it but I personally wouldn't recommend getting your hopes up for mind-blowing BBQ. read more
