This place is the bomb!! I ate here for the first time the other day and really enjoyed my visit. My husband swears this place has the best BBQ around! I am not a huge fan of BBQ so I ordered the calabash chicken and it was delicious!! Huge pieces of chicken and the seasoned fries were so good too! The food come out fresh and hot!! We will definitely be back as regulars!! read more

Good calabash, better BBQ hash. The sides are great as well. The staff is always friendly and the service is fast.

I had Bubba's at work one day and it was so good, we had them cater our daughter graduation. Years later, we are still eating at Bubba's BBQ and Bash. We have never had a bad experience ever. My only problem is, is their ribs are SO good that now I cannot get ribs anywhere else. I have tried and NO other ribs around the East Coast compare. Literally you can pull the bones right out. The service is fantastic, which is hard to find these days. When you dine inside it feels like a great down-home atmosphere. If you haven't tried this place, you owe it to yourself do so. Enjoy!! read more

I ordered the B&B combo plate with coleslaw and macaroni and cheese. I was not ready for how delicious the calabash chicken was!! I enjoyed everything except the macaroni and cheese, the noodles were overcooked & soft. The banana pudding was ok. read more

I ordered the beef hash over rice with fried okra, macaroni pie, and hush puppies. The beef hash has a really good flavor. It is a little on the salty side, but I still thought it was really good. I would liked to have had more rice to go with it. They put way more hash than rice. The macaroni pie was so good! The fried okra was good and so were the hush puppies. Their sweet tea is truly sweet tea! You do get a lot of food for the price. Great place to eat!​ read more

We were driving through on the way to Florida and wanted to try some southern BBQ. Me an my husband both got the B & B with the macaroni pie (Mac n cheese) and fried okra. It was amazing!!! We love BBQ and this was a win! The costumer service was amazing. Great place to stop in! read more

Wow!!!! If I lived in Spartanburg I would be over 300lbs because of this place, especially because of the BBQ Plate and Sweet Potato Crunch. I picked up two meals (for myself) 1st -BBQ Plate (pork), sweet potato crunch, baked beans and hush puppies. 2nd - Chicken hash, green beans, macaroni pie and hush puppies. Their sauces are extra special as well. The light sauce has a great kick to it and went well with the pork and the chicken. read more

Was treated to a mixed BBQ meat plate by a client and was OH SO HAPPY with the pickins. As a lover of different bbq this is a solid representation of SC style ribs, and the calabash chicken was on point. The staff is as sweet as sugar too! read more

Great service, thoughtful staff, and excellent food! No complaints whatsoever. I tried the Bash Chicken sandwich and later, the Bash Chicken plate. Very good batter, crispy and light. read more

Heard about this place from a friend and I was not disappointed. Best BBQ I have found in Spartanburg. Meat is smoked so well you don't really need any sauce. BBQ slaw is very spicy, which I like. Behind the counter and dining room staff very friendly. We will be back. read more

As good as it gets. Seems like a local spot and well worth the detour. Great portions, service, and DELICIOUS!!!!

This is our fav place ever!!! We live down the road and could go here everyday if we could!! From the calabash chicken, to the Pulled pork, Brunswick stew and even the grilled chicken salad...everything!! Best BBQ place in town!!! So glad it's down the street, has a drive thru and they have their own app so you can order ahead!! read more

I got the half rack of ribs, with sauce, baked beans, slaw, and a side of Mac and. Geese. It came with three delicious crispy hush puppies. The slaw was a bit too spicy for me but was good; it was chopped smaller than most. The Mac and cheese was good, not creamy, but very southern, and the beans delicious. The ribs fell off the bone and they satisfied my craving for BBQ. The place is bright with a couple of TVs on different channels both on mute. There was music playing. The temperature was a bit warm. Service friendly and efficient. I'll be back. read more

Definitely my favorite for BBQ. I used to go to the one in Pauline but I moved and this is a few seconds down the road. everything is always perfect when we go there SO good. They always have lovely and sweet staff. read more

The beef hash was terrible. Looked like dog food. DO NOT recommend. The sides were ok. But the beef was horrible.

Great food , great staff , locally owned if you like bbq this is the place to go. ...Yep

This restaurant rocks the food is great I fall in love with their brisket and hush puppies I give 5 stars to cook david Pruitt

A complete win....from the quality and taste of food to the portion size to the affordable prices and the friendly service. I tried the pulled pork, Mac and cheese and potato salad. I was impressed by each, especially the clearly homemade potato salad. And I must mention the divine little hush puppies too. Personally, I wasn't totally blow away by the banana pudding, but I was so full I shouldn't have attempted dessert anyway. I'm new to the area, but this place is going to be a tough act to follow. read more

Excellent! I came with my parents and had not been to Bubba's in a few years. I ordered the shredded BBQ, mac and cheese with hush puppies. The Mac and cheese was so good.. creamy and full of flavor. BBQ and hush puppies were delicious. I definitely would say this is my favorite BBQ place in Spartanburg. read more

Always great food. Great bbq and hash. All great sides too. I will definitely continue to eat there when I feel like some good BBQ

Update: it's been a little less than two months since I ate at Bubba's. I just ordered to-go via phone and unfortunately the other reviewers seem to be right about drive-thru service. I read that drive through is rude and I found that to be true. They only give 3 sauces per order?? But I ordered two different plates for two different people?! I feel a little jipped; spending an average of $20 for two people should extend to more than three tiny ramikens of bbq sauce...seeing that it is a bbq restaurant. I politely asked the lady to include five sauces and I would just have to pay for the two extras; as I said "thank you," she hung up on me! Original review: I recently relocated from Mississippi to Spartanburg, and anyone who may be familiar with real southern cookin' knows that it begins with a bunch of delicious, cholesterol-latent soul food. My girlfriend and I have tried just about any and all "southern cookin" restaurants since we moved here a month ago and have not found a single legitimate restaurant that meets Miss'ssippi standards (which aren't healthy by any means, but certainly yummy to my tummy) until now. I was blown away by Rebecca's hospitality and boisterous personality! She's pretty darn awesome. Since it was an hour before closing time, the crowd was not too overly steady for my lady and I to sample a handful of the side dishes offered before we ordered. Rebecca also made sure to make us feel welcome through our venture of curiosities, although I still felt awkward asking to try a bite of different things...but every dish I tried was SO DELICIOUS that I needed more! I was so impressed; I wanted to buy it all. I exclaimed that I must stop trying more little samples or I would go broke due to buying everything my hungry tummy desired. I've realized that I need to stop bragging and get to the point of my tasting experience. On Fridays and Saturdays brisket is offered. Get. The. Brisket. I'll list everything we sampled and bought to eat, and had not one dern regret about it. *Don't judge our gluttony! We were excited and are still eating left-overs* We ordered two brisket plates, three hush puppies included with each plate (tasted just like my grandpa's hush puppies! Mind blow), macaroni pie (which is their code name for a serving of homemade Miss'ssippi macaroni), baked beans, 1/2 pint of their homemade pimento, one pint of their delicious chicken salad and a side of potato salad. There are three bbq sauces offered here. There is the basic red that is very good (not spicy), a red that is more vinegar-based and spicy and there is a mustardy-based sauce. I found my pfavorite: 1 part vinegar mixed with 2 parts red. Yass yass yass. Visit this restaurant and bless your belly with good eats! read more

Legit BBQ, great price, friendly service not far off 26. A great stop for travelers, especially families (kids meal 3.99 with a drink)

Stopped here the other day while spending a weekend in Spartanburg. I had the ribs and my wife had the chicken "hash" (which was totally new to us from North Carolina). In these Covid times, they had close off about 1/2 tables per law (I guess). The available tables were clearly marked. The food came out quickly and was good. The ribs were tender - just borderline mushy- but still good. My wife enjoyed the hash. Sides were tasty. Drink service is self-serve. There was plenty of hand sanitizer around the restaurant. We paid with credit card - but no place to leave a tip. Luckily I had some cash to drop in the tip jar. read more

Delicious BBQ! And the Banana pudding was perfect. Wish we had it in California. Definitely will be back to try something else.

The food was good- portions could have been a bit more for the price. Overall, the atmosphere was great for a down home barbecue shop.

Best BBQ ribs that I have had in a long time. Chicken was excellent and grilled very well. Yams and bbq slaw tasted good. Will definitely go back. read more

Great food. Polite staff. Clean, nice atmosphere. We walked in for a late lunch @1:45 and were immediately seated. A bit pricey for a BBQ place but you get plenty. Will go again. read more

Friendly staff they bring your food out fast. The BBQ is great I like both sauces. The chicken and honey mustard is the best I have ever found. You get a lot of food for a small price. read more

Our go to BBQ spot in all the Upstate. My only complaint is sometimes the pulled pork is a little greasy. Food is alimony always fresh not the best sides but decent. We are from the low country and have very high BBQ standards because of growing near places like Sweatmans BBQ, Dukes BBQ, Scott's BBQ(which by many is considered the best in the south) read more

EXCELLENT Everything!!! Good food,fair prices, friendly people Fall of the bone ribs-best burgers.

You must eat here! This is easily the best BBQ I have ever tasted! My husband and I are on our way to Hilton Head Island and needed a place to stop for lunch. At the South Carolina welcome center, we picked up a BBQ map (I thought it was quirky lol). We picked a place close to us and I was leery about trying a new place spontaneously without reading reviews. But... Wow! The decor is low key, and clean. Staff is very friendly. I ordered the BBQ pork "sammich" with southern slaw.... Wow! read more

My husband and I stopped at this quaint bbq and bash restaurant on our way to the beach. It was so so good! The food was fresh and HOT. He got the bbq, fries, and hush puppies (hush puppies were not great) and I got the chicken tenders, macaroni, and sweet potato fries. The staff were all wearing mask and cleaning efficiently. Highly recommend! read more

I was in Spartanburg SC on business and my trip wouldn't have been complete without some southern bbq. I am from Austin, Texas originally so bbq means beef brisket to me, but I like the southern style pork bbq as well. My tastes are not sophisticated enough to get involved in the sauce wars between eastern NC, western NC and Northern SC. I like them all and can't tell that much difference. Bubba's was near my hotel so based on local recommendations and Yelp, I gave it a try. I had the combo plate with sausage and pulled pork with hush puppies, fried okra, and mac and cheese. The food was good and prices reasonable. I have had better bbq but this was fine. The okra was particularly well prepared. Mac and cheese was - well mac and cheese. The smoked sausage was excellent. Place was a little divey but that is what you want at a bbq joint. Bbq was definitely an order of magnitude better than what we have in Minnesota. If I am ever in the Spartanburg area I will return. read more

I was alerted about this place by my nephew. Wow, this food is the bomb! The ribs and the sides are absolutely delicious!! The portions are huge! We purchased the half rack of ribs with potato salad & string beans. This plate of food lasted for 2 meals! Lunch & dinner! We will be going back! Yum, yummy read more

THE FOOD IS AMAZING!!! We tried the grilled chicken, smoked sausage, and pulled pork. We also tried the macaroni and cheese, baked beans and sweet potato fries. All of the meats had a delicious smoked flavor. All of the sides were amazing as well. The sweet potato fries are the best that I've ever tried. They have a nice crispy crunch to them but they are also soft. They have cinnamon and sugar on them but they don't over power the flavor of the sweet potato. If you are looking for good bbq you should look here! read more

We stopped in because it was the first place we saw for lunch after leaving our hotel and were pleasantly surprised by this delicious bbq joint. Be patient with the process of ordering at the counter and figuring out what is available, the food is worth it. I had the combination platter with smoked sausage, calabash chicken, beef hash, macaroni pie and sweet potato crunch. Everything was hot, fresh and delicious. My friend had the chicken stew and smoked chicken wings all superb. Would definitely recommend and will probably be back before we leave. read more
