The food was delicious, chicken, ribs combo, with potatoes and coleslaw, my favorite was the coleslaw, the chicken and ribs was nicely smoked and it was a lot of food. You place your order and they bring the food to the table which is a great service, the restaurant was nice and clean and it would be a nice place for a family gathering not too loud but it had a home feeling to it. Im sorry I've been having problems uploading my photos and there are the only ones that came over

We've had food from Carrubba's a couple of times but both were from their food truck. We sampled their Nashville hot chicken slider and their Nashville hot fish slider. Both were very messy and definitely not low-cal! Each comes with a mayo based aioli with the chicken oil and have a mayo based coleslaw on them. The pickles help to add the needed acid to cut through the oil and heavy flavor. They are very tasty and definitely on the spicy side - which I love. I do plan on trying a few more items at their brick and mortar location but I may ask for coleslaw on the side so I have a bit more control over the calories and messiness of eating it. I am a professional at dropping stuff on my clothes while eating and these sandwiches helped me maintain my status! Haha

This bbq joint was cool my mom and I stopped in for dinner, first off you definitely get your moneys worth without a doubt plenty of food. The chicken was juicy with rite amount of char and was seasoned well not using chevettis, the coleslaw was sweet reminded me kind of KFC, and I received plenty of potato spuds soaked in butter my only complaint would be that i don't like smoked ribs from anywhere it's either charcoal or nothing but other than that I'd say 7/10 definitely worth a try and they should think about coming up with a few of their own bbq sauces instead of using Sysco brand out of the jug. Check em out!

First time visiting, the food was amazing! You order at a walk up counter and they bring the food out. The seated area was very cold , I had to keep my jacket on. If it was warm this would be a 5 star review! The chicken / pulled pork was delicious. The chicken fingers were gigantic! They offer take out and a drive thru which is nice! We will be back!

The chicken here is soooo good, I went to chiavettas today just to compare and carrubbas won hands down. The only thing is I wish they cooked their potato's a little longer. Or maybe even offered more sides. Best chicken bbq in buffalo hands down!

Well, this is the FIRST TIME I've ever had Carrubba's Chicken. This was its first day opening in a brand new store on George Urban blvd in Depew . What a great place! It has a very nice sit in dining room. The gal at the register was extremely helpful. The menu had quite the variety of foods. I ordered the crispy chicken sandwich and it was delicious- more than delicious, it was fabulous! I also ordered the French fries with nacho cheese and bacon ( and minus the jalapeños ) . While I was so excited about these fries, I was taken back a bit with the nacho cheese because I was unaware of it being their famous "spicy nacho cheese." Again, I had never had Carrubbas before Unfortunately I cannot tolerate spicy, hence minus the jalapeños. So it was unfortunate that I had to trash the $11. order of fries. If you're a spicy lover, this place is for you. If you're not, stay away from the nacho cheese. It's really spicy.

Chips with ranch and Cheese on the side.  Kettle cooked perfectly - Potato chips with ranch and cheese dips are shown on a tray from Carrubba's Chicken Pit, a BBQ restaurant offering fried chicken and sides.

Been back to WNY for a week and by far the best meal I have had in a long time. The fish fry was so good it tasted like it came out of the water this morning.... Ribs are to die for. Use plenty of napkins ! It had bark on it that was so delicious I couldn't stop eating it. The Nashville chicken sandwich was better than any chicken sandwich I ever had in Nashville TN. Truly a gem in WNY. To top it off the staff made my wife and I feel like royalty..... Bravo !!!

This chicken joint is staffed by career firefighters, as per their Facebook page. I first discovered them from purchasing a chicken barbecue dinner from Bellevue Fire Company in Cheektowaga. I saw the posts on social media and I can never turn down a chicken barbecue, especially a drive thru one. For $12 I received the standard chicken barbecue roll, butter, garlic butter, potatoes, cole slaw, and of course the main attraction, the chicken. The garlic butter I put on both my roll and all over those potatoes. It was scrumptious. The cole slaw was very good. I really enjoyed the flavors happening. The chicken was delicious. I liked the spices and it was moist, tender, and a chicken I can get behind. Wherever they are doing a fundraiser next, check them out. You won't be sorry, and it might become your new Buffalo standby.

Pick up, drive through fast service. Very convenient! Chicken was cooked with good seasoning and a nice char. Tasty sides, included garlic butter, and a dinner roll. Everything was satisfying and well portioned. Just wished this place was open more than 2 days a week.

Food was ready about five minutes after my scheduled time, which for as busy as they were, I thought that was great timing. Ordered the big sampler, with pulled chicken, pulled pork, brisket and ribs! Platter is a nice size with large portions, four of us ate on it. The pulled chicken for me was a stand out, so good! 10 piece chicken wings, cheeseburger with fries, pizza logs and crab cake platter. For our sides we tried the mac and cheese, pasta salad, baked beans, mash potatoes and sweet potatoe fries. Everything was good and would get again, except the crab cakes. These were just not good, very fishy, and burnt. The pizza logs were huge! The Mac and cheese had no seasoning, but was cheesy and after little salt and pepper wasn't to bad. Definitely on my top three favorite BBQ spots! I forgot pictures, but enjoy the video!

The place itself is inviting as you pull up, it's basically a victorian style house converted into what is a very cool, casual, dog friendly, brewery & eatery. The service was instantly friendly, inviting and knowledgeable about their beer selection. I tried several and all were really good. Note: if you like sours try the Cherry Cobbler sour it is over the top tasty! Also had the Cran Orange Ale which I could have drink a second one of easily too. Now on to the food... I am from Texas, and am a bit picky over BBQ, especially Brisket. Y'all there's nothing worse than a dry piece of smoked brisket... just sayin'. Anyway, I ordered a couple apps and the two meat plate with Chicken & Brisket, Beans, Slaw & the Mac Salad. Y'all, the brisket was moist tender and nicely marbled. I ate half of it before even opening the sauces! Same to be said for the Chicken, it was tender, with the perfect little hint of smoke, legit delicious! I highly recommend this spot when visiting the area... I will definitely be back my next time through.

Today, same thing, the food was really good. My friend ordered the macaroni and cheese with pork belly, I tasted the mac and it was delicious! I ordered a bacon, egg burger, asked for it to be cooked well, no pink, and it arrived with lots of pink. Instead of sending it back, I just ate half and brought the rest to go so I can cook and eat it later. Our waiter was great, I forget his name though, nice guy. So, when I arrived at 11:15am there was only one other couple seated. I walked in and said hello to the waitress (think her name was Sally), she gave me a very dry hello, I told her I was waiting for someone, she said they weren't there yet, sat me down for two, said something else but it was under her breath, I couldn't hear her, didn't feel very welcomed but it's okay. Our table had crumbs on it, my menu had crumbs on it. I was disappointed but honestly, I just wanted to have a good brunch with my friend so I cleaned it myself. I finally had a moment to take in the decor and it made me feel a little uneasy as I noticed a Hindu Buddha head, some scary dolls, sculptures and some weird decor going on, goats everywhere except one wall that had monkeys on it. Goats and monkeys are fine, just saying it was weird Whatever. Lol That's fine and all but it's just not my thing.

The front door leads into a comfortable bar room with a large bar and an area with high tops and additional seating. I enjoy this space much more than their previous location which was rather industrial and not as warm feeling. We were early and had a few drinks. My blueberry beer tasted fresh and I enjoyed the blueberries in it. The bartender was pleasant and offered some different selections which my SIL really liked. The martini with the toasted coconut stood out. We were seated in the larger of the two back rooms. I split a cabbage roll app which had an Asian spin of pork and cabbage in a sweet sauce. My Jagerschnitzel was nicely fried over spatzle with red cabbage. The sauce and fried onions compliments perfectly. Everything was delicious with the French onion burger, the African pea soup and even the standard fish fry looked good. We skipped dessert but, from previous experience, save the room, it's worth it.

He suggested the…read morebarbecue sampler for two, along with chicken wings, lobster deviled eggs, but we started with their poutine . So many places try to door too much and then fail. But not this little piggy. The gravy which you know makes poutine was scratch, I could taste the depth of the stock it was made from. If that wasn't a all day stock they fooled me! The wings were a dry rub but still tender and juicy. The barbecue sampler had ribs, brisket, loose meat pork and just for giggles fried chicken. To put this in context, I'm the guy who dragged his family on the North Carolina barbecue trail from west to east hitting 7 of the places in one day ! I also do some smoking of meat at home myself with an old school barrel smoker. The brisket was spot on the loose pork was juicy with a respectable smoke ring and tender. The ribs pulled away clean ( I normally like more toothsome but most people prefer the easy bite) the fried chicken was a nice respite from the other elements nice Nashville fry on it. The lobster deviled eggs were NOT as pretentious as I expected the richness could be broken up with a chimichuri on the plate. It's not fair to judge the service because they are friends of my cousins so it was just family and love. Bottom line is we are going to plan another trip up to the area and this is a must go!

One tip if you're going for the band playing in the front room: don't sit on the enclosed patio. Even with the door open you really can't hear the music from there. I stayed and finished dinner of course because the Reuben was absolutely delicious. One funny moment was being served a beer in a Solo cup. At first it caught me off guard, but honestly with how slammed they were I totally understood -- I wouldn't want to be doing all those extra dishes either. After dinner I moved inside to try to actually hear the band. I ended up seated near the bathrooms, and unfortunately there was a pretty unpleasant smell in that area. Not sure if it was coming from the bathrooms because of how close the table was, but it definitely wasn't the best spot to sit. The hostess who sat me asked if I wanted a drink and I said yes, but about 20 minutes later someone else came over to ask me what I wanted again. I completely get that they were busy, so I'm not upset about it -- but the drink unfortunately never made it to the table. Overall, the food was great and the place clearly draws a crowd for live music, but seating location really matters if you're there for the band
