Service was alright, server seemed angry halfway through when asking for sauce. Food took a while for only two couples (including us), and others were waiting in line long due to only 2 workers. When the food finally came, it was terrible. Fried pickles are alright, chicken tenders are okay, burger charred and burnt, onion rings raw and doughy, and the fries soggy from grease. Flies were on the tables and one of the cooks was covered in grime. I almost felt bad enough to tip, but there was attitude and the food was terrible. Do NOT recommend! read more

Stopped here for dinner while we were in the area as we like to try out local places. Was a littler nervous as we drove up since the building is super old and looked like it was closed. Glad we decided to give it a try though. Good place for picky eaters because they have so many options on the menu: burgers, fish, bbq, chicken and more. Cost was around $50 for 4 meals and drinks. Best part was the friendly lady working there. She was so sweet and helpful. read more

See all

Homemade ranch is to die for. This is our go-to for food in this town. Never fails and is always fresh. Their salads are LOADED, wings are best in town (even better than oceans my husband says) burgers are juicy. Only thing I've had and didn't love was the bbq burger. Fries are fresh from a potato and seriously superior covered in BBQ and ranch read more

We really enjoyed this place. They were a bit overwhelmed with orders but the staff was so friendly and kept everyone updated of their order status. We had a couple burgers which were really good. I would stop by here again. Probably a good idea to call ahead to get your ticket in. read more

The service was excellent and the portions were generous for a very reasonable price. I will definitely be back now that I know where it is!

Crawfish tea and moldy bread, we returned the burger immediately and she was polite and fixed it. the burgers and sausage were great. The potato salad was also very nice. I had a chicken sandwich and it was great! read more

We were in Monticello for a college visit and went to lunch at Bubbie's, which is a popular place for college students. They even give a discount to UAM students who show their college ids. The chicken sandwich I had, and the boneless chicken wings my wife and soon to be Cotton Blossom daughter had, were very good. The chicken was hand breaded and sauced, and my grilled chicken sandwich was blackened and very tasty. The hand-cut French fries were also very good, and some places don't know how to cook homemade fries. After the visit, we went back to get some fried pies before heading to Hot Springs. The pies were freshly fried---is that a thing? They were cooked when ordered, which is nice. If you go to Monticello and want to eat where all the college kids go, because who wouldn't want to do that, be sure to give Bubbie's a try. read more

Friendly staff, food was pretty good also. Would recommend if passing through and want some home cooked food.

Was looking forward to visiting someplace new. Wish I'd chosen our tired old habitual haunt. While the cashier was very friendly and nice, the food was awful. Additionally, the tile floor, especially in front of the drink dispenser, was extremely slick and I almost fell twice just trying to fill my cup. It seemed to be covered by a film of grease, making me think the kitchen would probably be dirty too. Hard pass on a second visit. read more

This is a very unsuspecting place. I'll admit, the outside appearance deterred me at first but the inside is actually pretty nice. It's definitely a local joint that prides itself in supporting the local school teams. It doesn't have many reviews on Yelp! but actually has a lot of reviews on Google and close to 5 stars. * I was actually surprised that they have diet Dr. Pepper and happy because it's been hard lately to find a place with diet Dr. Pepper and not three different kinds of Coke instead. Sweet tea is actually sweet and didn't require any sweetener. A+ on the T. * Tiny bathroom, for only one person. No place to change a baby or toddler. They were out of paper to dry your hands. * Wait time was about 10-15 minutes. My fries didn't feel fresh and were only slightly warm. Otherwise, they tasted pretty good! The onion rings were well-battered and large. I heard from my dad that the shrimp Po' boy was very good, which it must be since he rarely gives compliments to food freely. The cheeseburger that my mom ordered was "okay," but it definitely looked good. My grilled fish was actually good and flakey, well-cooked. The lemon pepper I ordered on it had a good zing although it was very strong. Despite my best efforts to eat healthy, the fish was dripping in what appeared to be butter. * Overall, a good eat. I recommend this place. read more

Bubbie's - Best Philli I've ever had. In...Ark? Awesome sauce. - Burgers Near Me - Monticello, Arkansas

I don't know why this place doesn't have better reviews because their burgers are awesome! I got the bubbie burger with everything on it and an order of their onion rings. The burger is stacked tall with fixens and tender pulled pork. The onion rings are basically onion donuts -- hand battered, thick, and crispy. I did also order one of the fried pecan pies (because my inner fat kid needed that) and it does not disappoint. I've never had a fried pie, but it's basically everything you would imagine and hope for. It literally explodes in your mouth. This place needs to be on DDD. read more

Best burgers & fries in this area...hands down! My only complaint is that they don't offer a senior citizen discount! my husband & I are both on fixed income & often find ourselves in town for late afternoon dr appts, so it's more convenient to eat in town than to be up late at home cooking.we eat here quite often & would REALLY APPRECIATE a small sr's discount! read more

I got the 3pc lemon pepper grilled tenders with a side of potato salad and baked beans it comes with texas toast as well... when I say 10/10!! No exaggeration! Definitely going back.. I made nosies the hold I was eating it was delicious!!!! read more

Absolutely delicious food and the customer service is probably the best I've had in y e a r s.

Love a little burger joint in the Delta. This place is a local owned bbq and burger joint. Get the Bubbie Burger and it comes with pulled pork, jalapeños and grilled onions. Awfully good burger. Eat local all the time. read more

Bubbie's - Bubbie! - Burgers Near Me - Monticello, Arkansas

After all the great reviews, I thought I was going to be more pleasantly surprised with this place. The dining room only had 4 or 5 tables. 2 were already taken by. college football players who were blocking the hallway to the bathroom and didn't offer to move when I had to take my 5 year old, so I had to move a chair to get by, the men's room was locked but not occupied, so I took her to the women's. When we came back to our seats I noticed flies on the jerseys hanging from the ceiling, which I always think is the worst. Then we had to choose what to order, and I had read online the cheesesteak was the best someone had ever eaten, so I went for that. My wife ordered a brisket sandwich and we got a slider and fries for the child. The cheesesteak was $10.79 before tax, and did not include fries. The brisket sandwich was $9.89 and then fries were $3.69. The kids meal was $6.59. The slider was so small my 5 year old was asking where the rest was. My wife got pulled pork instead of brisket, we asked the worker, she said they have pulled brisket, not sliced. Never heard of it. My cheesesteak was ok, everything was chopped square and covered with cheese dip, but still I would say it was ok. Had to fight off the fly several times from mine and my child's food. Overall a bad experience, but we were just passing through and it was so highly rated, we had to try it. Maybe we just caught them on a bad night. read more

Talk about comfort food for us! A great Place worth going to! I ordered the blackened shrimp Poboy. The shrimp was meaty and a good ratio to the bun, so definitely hit the spot for me! Also, the shrimp was perfectly grilled! We also ordered the jumbo burger and my boyfriend liked it except that the top bun fell apart and made the burger messy to eat. The onion rings are thick and tasty and kind of reminded me of eating a funnel cake, again comfort food(not complaining). The fried pecan pie was okay, I did like that it was served warm however when you cut into the pie, lots of syrup came spilling out (maybe that's suppose to be the concept but a first for me when comes to a fried pecan pie). customer service was outstanding and very friendly. Overall I will definitely eat here again if I am in the area. read more

Bubbie Burger and a Fried Apple Pie.....holy cow, very good! Just passing through with group of hungry Boy Scouts and they all left smiling! Very good! read more

Good local place. Food and service were great. Prices fair. Like others have noted, outside appearance isn't the best. Only thing really negative was the beverage area. Several of the dispenser choices were broken/out of order. I wish Yelp would let you give halves. Bubbies would be a 4.5. read more

Burger and fries were super tasty!! Fried peach pie was okay I think I need to try another flavor before I decide! My brother and sister-in-law loves them when they visited for a family wedding! read more

Good for a true "local" joint in a small town. However, overall it really wasn't much to speak of-Food was just "alright" and the inside aesthetic was "cheap". I got wings and honestly had my hopes set too high:( Probably won't be returning, but that also has to do with the fact that I'm not from there. If I was from there, becoming a repeat client would inevitable. read more

Bubbie's - Took a picture of the entrance rug. - Burgers Near Me - Monticello, Arkansas

While driving around Monticello and contemplating if I really wanted to do fast food, I decided to give Bubbie's a try. I had heard the burgers were really good. What I found was that this is now my favorite place to eat at in Monticello. I walk in and it is nothing like I imagine. I'm thinking Monticello fast food version hamburger...but it's so much more. There was BBQ! How could I not know there was BBQ here!? Well, not to burn myself out on BBQ, I went with Bubbie's Burger...a Burger with pulled pork on it. This was one of the best burgers I've had in a while! The burger was made out of real, fresh hamburger meat. No frozen patty! Plus, the pork on top was tender, juicy, and marinated in a BBQ sauce. There were 3 BBQ sauces to choose from and well, I'm a sauce-a-holic so I asked for all of them on the side. The vinegar one was the best...it seemed to have honey and black pepper. It was sweet and tangy. Sweet sauce was ok...seemed to have molasses in it and then there was a hot version of it. The fries were fresh and hand-cut. Sweet tea was freshly brewed. From now on, there is no other choice in Monticello for me. Bubbie's is where I'm eating at...and I will be trying the BBQ plates. read more

My weakness are burgers and fries.... If you happen to be in Monticello check this place out. My lunch was delish and the staff was great. read more

Pops got the burger and I got the two meat bbq plate with brisket and smoked sausage with vinegar bbq sauce, baked beans and potato salad. Cherry pie for dessert. Every thing was spot on and tasty. Will be coming back next time in town. Thank you for the good food , so much I couldn't eat it all and I'm fat. read more

From out of town, passing through to Florida. Thought we would try a place you can't get in Oklahoma. Staff was friendly but Food was just ok, I would not eat here again. Had a Bubbie hamburger it was a regular hamburger (small)with pulled pork (with no taste)and pepper jack cheese for 7.99 no side. Don't order a drink it cost 2.19 that was a small. Kids: chicken tenders pretty good for price of 6.39 that includes ff's and drink. Catfish was ok, really greasy. Not worth the total price of 28.45 for all. read more

Stopped in here after reading some reviews. It hides behind Popeye's off the main drag. Nice girls working here, they waited on me immediately. I had a cheeseburger and fries, which were served hot and fresh. Kind of like a burger you would make at home. Nice clean place, and I will eat here again the next time I come to town. read more

This restaurant is one of the best in Monticello, the employees are super nice and the food is really great. I haven't had one bad experience there and will continue to eat their food. I recommend this place to everyone I know. read more

No one acknowledged me when I walked in and it took about 5 minutes for someone to come take my order. I ordered the brisket sandwich with a side salad. The brisket was overcooked and did not have much flavor other than the barbecue sauce, which it needed much more of. The side salad was mostly cheese with a size of shredded lettuce. The food was just eh. Don't think I'd go back. read more

Well as far as burger joints go it's one of the best in town, looks like a flea market exploded all over the walls but it's good food.

Just another burger joint? Not really, who asks your name so that they can deliver you order to your table AND THEN remembers your name until your meal is finish. Yes, the burger on onion rings were great. I'll stop here whenever I'm passing through town just because they obviously care that you really enjoy your food. Proof that small town service still exists! read more

Staying at the hotel next door and thought we would give it a try. We had the bone in wings and 1/2lb brisket with a side salad. I'm sorry to say that it was not good eats. The brisket was shredded like pulled pork and VERY greasy. It was more like a rump roast baked in an oven. The wings were breaded and were just ok. A little under cooked. The people were nice. read more

Good but not great. I think it's overpriced for what you get. Wide variety of options.

This place has the best burgers in town. The food is always made fresh and served hot. They offer a variety of foods from BBQ to Seafood. The workers are very nice and friendly. It's by far the best place to sit down and have a good meal at in monticello. read more

The service was great. Enjoyed the free wifi. Burger didn't taste any better or worse than one I could get anywhere else, and it was overpriced. The bun tasted like it came straight from Walmart, and the cheese was a Kraft Single's (so not even real cheese). Atmosphere was pleasant, but the decor could use an update, there's just too much going on all over the place. Overall unsatisfied, but may return. read more

Bubbie's is kind of hard to overlook as they are tucked away from the main traffic fair, but that tells me a place has got to be good. And we weren't disappointed. The hand cut fries still had the skins on them (just the way I like them). What I wasn't expecting was the Bubbie burger... Big beef patty with a huge scoop of pulled pork on top! Talk about drip off your elbows goodness! Hunt this place down and don't think twice about it. It's worth your while. read more

Bubbies burger, and fried pickles!! You can't go wrong!! My husband and I eat here at least once a week. Never a bad experience!

I absolutely love the burgers at Bubbies! Tons of flavor and incredibly juicy, so you might get messy but it's worth it. The fries are hand cut and not frozen with large portions. The service has always been very friendly and the food comes out in a timely manner. I couldn't believe there was only 1 other review of this place and it was scathing. I've been to Bubbies many many times and have never been dissatisfied. read more

I love love love Bubbies. I have had the loaded potatoes, burgers, po boys, and cheese dip. I really recommend the cheese dip with fries.

During my recent 8 night stay in Monticello, I had the great pleasure of walking to Bubbie's (just across my hotel parking lot). During my stay, I ate there 4 times and each time I was delighted to enjoy a delicious meal of fresh, made to order food. I'm not a fast food gal, so this was REAL food made fast! First, the ladies that serve there are the best! Very sweet and smiley... They even remembered my name . They bus your tables, refill your drinks and offer real hospitality. Thanks, ladies!! Now, the food: My first meal was a pulled pork sandwich AH-MAY-ZING!!! The meat was beautifully moist and there was plenty of it on my soft bun. I really love cole slaw and love to see how each establishment prepares it. Not disappointed here. Made IN HOUSE! Not too sweet, like most. Next meal was the fried catfish platter. I was bewitched! Crispy, yet tender and full of flavor! Cole slaw again and potato salad (also delish and made in house). Next meal was a hamburger with applewood smoked bacon, jalapeños and all the other fixings. The burger was so juicy and delicious! I had fresh hand cut fries with this order and they were incredible too. Crispy outsides with baked potato-like texture on the inside. Last meal was the grilled shrimp. Tender, juicy, cooked just perfectly. My only suggestion would be to tone down the salt. I ordered blackened and ate all 6 large, plump beauties. More cole slaw and potato salad. I could live at Bubbie's, if they'd let me. My only regret is not trying their ribs, served only Fridays and Saturdays. Thanks so much for 4 pleasant experiences! I will return if my job assignment take me to Arkansas again next year. read more
