After having eaten here many times I can safely say this one of the best bbq joints around. The sweet potato casserole is wonderful but don't eat too much you will need your diabetic meds (still worth it!), their meats are tender and delicious and their sides hold their own against the bbq. Grab some hush puppies as something to quickly munch on or just wait your food will be here very soon. And as always, Go Local!! read more

We ordered takeout and ate in the car because we couldn't resist lol So good!!! Friendly staff, great price. read more

Bubba's BBQ & Bash - Pulled pork and sides - Barbeque Near Me - Spartanburg, South Carolina

We were here around 2 on a sunny Saturday. It was recommended to us. I have had tons of good, mediocre and downright bad barbecue and this falls right in the middle between mediocre and bad. I got the 5 rib, my husband got the 3. His ribs were meatier by far, mine was mostly flat, dried gristle. The sweet potato casserole was actually burnt black on the bottom. Everything was way over salted. My husband did say the Brunswick stew was tasty. The hushpuppies were decent, but oversalted and the okra, which I love, was just so-so. All and all, extremely disappointing. Very clean bathroom, though. A definite plus. read more

You just can't beat the lunch special here!!!! The service is prompt and friendly. It's a little place that is kept very clean and organized. They keep the barbecue sauces and ketchup on the table, which is very nice inconvenient. read more

By far the best Brunswick stew we have ever had in our life. Highly recommend this place to everyone.

Nestled in the mountains, this fine establishment served a very good representation of traditional South Carolina barbecue. Though it may not look like your average restaurant upon first glance, when you enter, you're immediately hit by the faint scent of barbecue, and friendly faces all around, as if there were angels in the architecture of the restaurant. I ordered the BBQ mash with a side of macaroni pie, which is basically reworded mac and cheese. When i took my first bite, it was if i were engulfed in a sweetly sonorous mist of barbecue, and, knowing Sammy Nestico's proverb "Time Waits For No One", i got to work scarfing the dish down in a very flavorfully powerful trance. read more

Let me start by saying I never leave bad reviews. Went through drive thru at Bubbas , got home and my order was wrong. Called to let them know. MARY got on the phone and rudely told me I did not order fried chicken. She repeatedly argued with me,then bold face LIED and said "we dont sell fried chicken " News flash Mary, your menu , your website and the side of your establishment clearly has the word BASH on it, in all caps and bold print. You might want to check that out. Not to mention we order the FRIED calabash chicken almost every time we come. Its bad business to argue , lie and be just down right nasty to customers. My friends, family and I will be spending our $ elsewhere from now on. Just too many options. Will pray for you MARY! read more

I went here the other day because it was very convenient for me while I was out doing other errands. The parking lot was full, and I usually take that as a good sign. When I got inside, the service was relatively prompt and I ordered the chicken-fried steak with potato salad and sweet potato crunch (sweet potato casserole with pecans on top). The potato salad was standard fare, and the steak was actually pretty good. A little chewy, but the breading and brown gravy had good flavor. The sweet potato crunch was not as much of a success. It was mushy and overcooked. The food matched the friendly homey atmosphere of the restaurant. But you don't want to eat at everybody's house, you know? read more

Bubba's BBQ & Bash - Fresh Country Style Steak, Potato Salad, Sweet Potatoes - Barbeque Near Me - Spartanburg, South Carolina

I really wanted to like this place. It was off the beaten path on my way through Spartanburg in a nondescript. shopping center. It had all the hallmarks of a hole in the wall BBQ joint. The first red flag I should have noticed was the lack of a smell of smoke, but I was too hungry to see it. If you want to find out how good a BBQ restaurant is you try their pulled pork. What I got was some kind of meat with no smoke ring and no flavor. After trying the pork and very mediocre baked beans and lackluster, macaroni and cheese I held out hope for the banana pudding. There's nothing like the flavor of instant pudding and that's what you get here. I really wanted to like this place. The staff was great. The service was prompt, but this was not BBQ. Spartanburg deserves so much better. read more

I love this place! I feel like you get a lot of food for a good price. I love their BBQ sandwich plates & I usually get their sweet potato fries & hushpuppies! So good. Their desserts are great too! Got that authentic southern homemade taste. My bf said their green beans aren't the best tho, but otherwise great! Definitely get their mustard base sauce if you like that. read more

I came here for dinner the other night and ordered an extensive menu offering. Service was incredibly quick and friendly. Restaurant reminded us of an old style family style restaurant. I recommend their mustard based bbq sauce as it was the best. I ordered: Smoked wings, excellent Rack of ribs, excellent Sausages, excellent "Barbecue" (basically pulled pork), excellent Fried okra, very good Hush puppies (with corn inside), good Baked beans, good Coleslaw, ok Sweet potato fries, ok BBQ Coleslaw, not great Chicken hash with rice, not great Beef hash with rice, not great Mac and cheese, bad Overall, would recommend trying them out! read more

Bubba's BBQ & Bash - Bash chicken sandiwch - Barbeque Near Me - Spartanburg, South Carolina

Stumbled upon this place as it was close to my hotel and it was great! I got pulled pork with macaroni pie and mashed potatoes. It came with hush puppies which I tried but didn't enjoy, however, I don't really like hush puppies to begin with. I can imagine these would be good if you do. Food/service was quick like typical BBQ but you can tell this is homestyle cooking since it is served on a styrofoam plate and the service was just okay, which is fine because the food is great and reasonably priced. read more

Ordered take out from here--the food was pretty good! The yellow bbq sauce is good. Really loved the onion rings--they remind me of copper river reds. I could inhale those things.

Barbecue was excellent ribs fell right off the bone. Great service very nice folks. Well done.

The meat at Bubba's is super smokey and yummy and the calabash chicken is not dry. That said, the amount of grease is extraordinary. The bbq slaw is nice and vinegar y but again I could do with a little less dressing. The green beans were overly salted. With minor changes this would be a win. You can see the puddle of grease in the photo. read more

Country style steak was very good. Brown gravy was very good also. My white slaw and macaroni pie (Mac-n-cheese) were great. Three hush puppies came with the meal, and I liked the corn pieces inside. I told the cashier I couldn't decide between the steak or the brisket, and she gave me a small cup with some brisket, and it was delicious. My wife got the pork plate, with baked beans and sweet potato crunch. The beans were the weakest side we ate, and the pork and sweet potato crunch were great. Loved the sauces on the table. Sweet red sauce, and mustard sauce. Can't go wrong with either. If it weren't for the beans, this would have been 5 stars. Great meal! read more

Bubba's has consistently been rated as some of the best BBQ in the upstate and once you visit, you'll know why. My go to is the 2 meat combo (~$11) with two sides. I ALWAYS get the ribs (with sauce) and the sausage because they're just that good. The ribs are tender and smoked to perfection. The sausage is juicy and flavorful as well. I absolutely love the sweet potato crunch and oftentimes get it as one of my sides - I'd definitely recommend it if you have a sweet tooth. Some other honorable mention sides are the mac and cheese pie and the hush puppies. Dont let the "pie" fool you. The mac and cheese is some of the creamiest and cheesiest I've ever had. And the hush puppies are nothing to turn your nose up at either! They are the perfect bite-size and even have corn kernels throughout. Bubba's always hits the spot - so if you're looking for some first-class BBQ, you have to give this place a try. read more

Best barbecue around! Exceptional ribs and brisket (only Friday and Saturday). Calabash chicken is huge and flavorful. Sides are excellent too. Servings are large, and I usually have another meal from the leftovers. Strawberry cake like mom used to make, as well as chocolate cake and banana pudding are normally available desserts if you save room. This place is worth a try. You won't be sorry! read more

Food is great, quick service, very friendly, and not crazy expensive! Overall great bbq spot.

Love love love!! Best pulled pork I've had in a long time!! Had TX and GA bbq, but this pork blew me away!!! And the spicy sauce is amazing. The dishes come with hush puppies which were delicious. The Macaroni casserole was yummy. The potato salad was average, but there are so many more side options to choose for next visit. Looking forward to visiting again!! Please please please consider pulled chicken as a menu option!!! read more

A coworker and I went there on a whim as it was close to the hotel. We ordered the beef hash, chicken fried steak and fried chicken. One of the cooks over heard us talking about the beef hash and offered us a free sample but we decided just to go for it. Everything came out piping hot which we had to wait a few minutes to cook down. Loved the breading on my chicken fried steak and the looks of the fried chicken. Nice and light but still crunchy. Unlike other places where they get extra crispy by frying the extra breading Beef hash was good but I think it was missing the rice underneath it. I think that would have brought it to the next level. This is one of my go to restaurants in the Spartanburg area. Plus the value of food va price of food is great. 3 full meals and 2 drinks was only $40. read more

Stopped in got lunch. I had the BBQ Sandwich Lunch special with was a chopped pork sandwich with choice of 1 side and a drink for $6.99. The sandwich was piled high with delicious BBQ on a toasted bun. I had baked beans for a side which were a little spicy and very good. Everyone was friendly and service was quick. They are following Covid rules with tables separated and employees wearing mask and gloves. The tables and areas were cleaned after each customer left. Save room for their amazing banana pudding dessert. read more
