BubbaQue’s

Fantastic food and great service. I will return, we are a party of 6 all dinners are perfect.

Seriously had the best bbq! We got so lucky stopping at this place tonight! I would highly recommend coming here if you want a good selection of smoked meats!

We called ahead of time as we had a party of about 20 motorcycle riders that were going to show up. We were met at the door by the manager and the wait staff with an area all set up for us kudos to the manager for allowing us this opportunity. Everyone’s drink and food orders were promptly taken, and the food was delivered in a timely fashion. I ordered the Texas sausage basket, the sausage was excellent with tge right amount of spice ample choices of BBQ sauce to try. My wife had the St. Louis rib basket, the ribs were tender not completely falling off the bone but tender to the bite with excellent hickory smoke flavor. One member of our party commented on how excellent the pulled pork was. The wait staff was very attentive to each of our tables ensuring that water and tea glasses remained full and that nothing was needed or wanted without pushing themselves into the conversation.
We will definitely be back either as a group or just the wife and I this was really good barbecue place and we’ll be on our must stop next time we’re in Sun City.

Had high hopes for this little place… brisket was almost all fat and the service was horrible. I had to chase down three servers to get a drink.

We were greeted at the door by a server and seated. We ordered flavored lemonade, which was very good. The server took our order and left, only to come back in fifteen minutes to tell us the pos was down and that we could get our order if we were going to pay cash. We asked the manager if this was normal policy! The server did say that the food was in the window and that if we wanted to wait for the pos to come back up they would hold it under the hot Lamp!!! Really??? I guess this is standard operating procedure. The manager explained to us that they have no back up ability for paying by credit card, but there was an ATM up the street.
Needless to say we left, along with a few other customers. Went to Sonny’s and had some good BBQ. We drove seven miles to try this restaurant. Very disappointed!
Might try the Brandon Location. A little farther though. May I will Phone first!

Great bbq place. Was in on a Sunday afternoon, place was full. Waitress was fast and professional. Had pulled pork sandwich and wife had ½ rack. Very good and tender. Lots of sauces. My new bbq place.

Two stars because I have been to BubbaQues twice and both times left disappointed. At my last visit I had the piggyback ribs which on the menu are described as traditional baby rack ribs in a sweet sauce. What they don’t tell you is that far from traditional baby back ribs they are tough and have a spicy, over salted dry rub hiding under the sauce. In fact they were so tough I needed a steak knife to separate them. When I think about baby back ribs I think fall of the bone tender meat ribs but this was not it. They fell extremely short of my expectations. I tried every sauce on the table and never found one I loved but found the Tractor grease at least made the ribs edible. I did enjoy the fried okra that I chose as my side but otherwise left unsatisfied.
Located in the same parking lot as Sonnys BBQ so there is no reason for me to come back.

Had green fried tomatoes to start and they were awesome… bbq sammiches were great. Love the décor and staff were awesome. Highly recommend

Some of the reviews were not encouraging but we decided to give it a try anyway. It was great. The food was excellent and our bar tender Jessica was outstanding!

The absolute best pulled pork sandwich I’ve ever had! Tender and flavorful. The sauces at each table are each better than the next! The décor is fun and attractive. Our waitress was attentive, funny and friendly. I hope they make it because they really have some great food and some very nice and capable staff.

BBQ pulled pork was great. Fries were just okay. But I loved the fried pickles! It is so hard to find places where the batter sticks to the pickles. Six different sauces, I had the hickory, delicious. And fried Okra was very good. Waitress was friendly and the manager stopped by to be sure we were enjoying it. We’ll be coming back here with friends.

There are two BBQ near this exist of I-​75. This one is only 0.6 mile from I-​75. I am thinking to give a try this afternoon. This restaurant have unique selection of the rib. St. Louis style with dry rubbed; sticky bone is St. Louis style with caramelized; meaty back rib is tradition with selection of oversize meaty area of rib; of course there is traditional back rib.
I have the tradition baby back with sweet potatoes fried and BBQ baked bean. The full rack of the rib with one side is $ 11.99 and two sides is $ 13.49. What a price. Enough said, time to get your hand dirty. The best part to eat and enjoy the rib is by hand. The rib is dry rubbed and top with hickory smoke BBQ source. The meat juicy and pink. Because this is a dry rubbed, the meat is tendency to stick with bone a little bit.
With the Unilocal help, I was able to find this place. Thanks for those who have Unilocal before me. The rib at my plate is more than 12″ long. Mmmmm! This good.

I had take out and can’t wait go try some of the other menu items. The apps look interesting. Fort first trip I got ribs and pulled pork and two sides. The ribs were extremely tender — so if you like fall off the bone — these are it. The pull pork was decent. The cole slaw was ridiculously good. And the baked beans are just baked beans. I will go back because I’m happy that a decent BBQ place decided to come to Ruskin area!

We love this place. Everything we have tried is good, especially the smoked chicken and the ribs as our favorites. The employees are all very friendly and we have enjoyed every visit.

Before you read this review, there is something you should know. I normally dislike barbecue places, but my boyfriend has been here on his lunch break before, and when I couldn’t decide where I wanted to go, he suggested this place. I went in expecting not to enjoy it, because I absolutely despise most barbecue restaurants. They’re just not my thing. I insisted on looking at a menu before I would even let them seat us. I was just really expecting to not enjoy it at all. I decided to give it a shot and I was pleasantly surprised!
He ordered a half rack of ribs (which he claims were delicious and I believe him, since he picked them clean). I ordered a chicken tender basket with 2 sides. I chose macaroni and onion rings.
The macaroni and cheese tasted like pure plastic, (even he agreed with me and sent his back) and the noodles were mushy. It was not good at all. That’s what held them back from getting 5 stars, mostly. Their onion rings however, completely blew my mind. They were incredible! They more than made up for the mac & cheese not being up to par. Needed more salt, but otherwise they were soooo good… It’s very hard to find homemade onion rings in this area and I could they were battered by hand. The chicken was incredible and very satisfying, it was filleted and hand battered in delicious breading and it wasn’t bland at all, it actually had flavor to it.
They have a ton of different sauces available to try. I highly recommend their Moonshine sauce, it was by far my favorite! The only thing is that I wish it was a little thicker. If they added some Worcestershire sauce or steak sauce to it, it might be perfect. I didn’t expect to find any of their sauces to be to my liking but that one was delicious and perfect for the chicken. I didn’t like their buffalo sauce at all though, it felt like it was too thick and not salty enough, like it needed butter or something maybe. I will be trying others again another time. And yes, I will be going back.
The waitstaff was very friendly and one of the managers even came over to talk to us. The waitress was all smiles and seemed to genuinely enjoy her job. She was happy to get us whatever we wanted and she had a great knowledge of the menu. She was even understanding when we first went in and I said I miiiight not want to eat there. (Too many bad experiences with lousy barbecue places, lol.) The food was good, portions were huge, and the pricing is fair, not very bad at all.
All in all though, it was a great experience, much better than I had expected. They went above and beyond my expectations. And it was good enough to make me want to go back, which is pretty amazing, considering I HATE barbecue! For me to say that a barbecue place is good, you should know it is actually phenomenal. c:

The food was good, but the service was great. Very polite staff and the food was out fast. Nice décor and clean. We will go again!

This place comes SO close to being 5 stars. The food was Great ! It’s a bunch of little things that held it back.
The BBQ was outstanding. The meat was cooked perfectly. I enjoyed the various BBQ sauce options (found myself mixing 2 of them together). The french fries were crispy but not over cooked. So what were the negatives? ?
The chili had GREAT flavor but was runny (almost watery) and they don’t have sour cream. (Chili & No sour cream ??). The service polite & friendly but I had to ask for a spoon for the chili and then I needed to ask for knife & fork when the meat & Mac n cheese arrived (should be set out as soon as the server greets a customer).
The beer selection STINKS ! No I don’t want Bud, Bud Lite, Miller, Miller Lite etc. .. Not even a Sam Adams which I consider a better generic beer (and NO Heineken doesn’t count either). REALLY REALLY needs some micro brews or local beers like Cigar City or J Dubs.
Ok so you got the idea GREAT food, needs to improve the other stuff. I will definitely give them another shot. Oh and I REALLY hope that management reads this ! Its SO close to Great.

Moved here from Tenn, came with friends visiting from there too. Tn ppl consider themselves BBQ experts and we all agree this was as good, if not better than anything we had there.
Our server, Brandy, was attentive, the manager came out too.
7 different sauces including the moonshine which is vinager based which you don’t see too often.
For appitisers we had Bubba nuggetd and jalapino poppers both great!
Main course was ribs and pulled pork, both of which were excellent too.
Had no room for dessert, Carmel apple cheesecake we’ll try next time. Yummy Amber Bock beer on draft. Will defenatly be back.

I am a pulled pork pervert ! It was good but tasted dry, maybe barbecue sauce wasn’t that good will definitely go back and try some brisket. The lady servers had nice uniforms. Good atmosphere plenty to look at.

Where to begin?
Service: Outstanding across the board, from the moment you walk in. Servers seem concerned with your comfort and contentment even if they are NOT «your» server. Very rare to find this quality, anywhere, at any price nowadays.
Food: BBQ as good as it gets. Don’t bother going anywhere else. The baby backs are sublime and the St. Louis style superior. Many different sauces to sample, «Tractor Grease» a table favorite. Just plain «fall off the bone, finger-​lickin good.»
Had the «basket» style dish, served with fries and Texas toast. Petty beefs? Toast only grilled on one side, a minor thing but IMO «proper» TT should be done on both sides, if only to ensure that it is served HOT. The fries were tasty and properly salted, but they were obviously the «frozen and bagged» kind. The place would be well-​served by upping the fry game a little with the «homestyle» type, even if a small cost (and menu price) increase must result.
Price: Beyond reasonable. Many menu items under 10 $, including a rib basket! For this reason, even adding an «optional» upgrade to better fries (for an extra .50 or .99) might be something to consider…
This is a new location, and we were personally greeted by the cook and the owner, both of whom asked about our satisfaction with the food quality. The owner even comped us a quarter rack of St. Louis style ribs when we merely mentioned that we had been served the «wrong» style previously.
If you are anywhere near the Sun City area, I highly recommend BubbaQue’s to crush your barbeque urge completely, without destroying your bank account. It’s a bit tricky to get to (off the frontage road, across from the BB&T bank) but definitely WORTH the visit.
Just. Go. Now.
Your stomach will love you.
