Barbecue • $$
“Been looking for at least decent BBQ in CV, so had to try Bubbas. Overall it's good and I would go back, but probably to try the burger.We got the sampler platter for 2, which gave us brisket, baby back ribs, pulled pork, sausage and a quarter chicken so we could try most of everything. So first off, don't expect a real smoked BBQ experience here. Didn't detect a smoker used at all in any of the meats, just more or less roasted. The hits I'd say were the brisket and the sausage. Brisket was flavorful without too much fat, the sausage was tasty too. But the chicken, ribs and pulled pork were overcooked. All of it falling off the bone which isn't really a bad thing, but cooked to the point of on the mushy side is. This is also indicative of frozen meat. There was virtually no difference between the pulled pork and the rib meat.Over on the plus side, I did like their sauces. Their basic BBQ sauce was on the sweet side, the spicy bourbon had a come through bourbon flavor, and the sweet chili sauce and mango habanero were also tasty. The two sides we chose were also good. The jalapeno pinto beans were nice and spicy, the mac n cheese was also good, but not the best. Corn bread was dense and not much corn flavor.Service was perfect, attentive but not overbearing.Prices were about average for a BBQ spot. Atmosphere was nice, although trying to convey a roadhouse feeling in a strip mall.Full bar with a good selection of house cocktails and beer.I would go back to try their burger, I'm curious about it. And I'd give the pork another try (small order), to see if they just had an off day.“
“Cozy brewery with some very dangerously delicious natural wines. Perfect little spot to chill and accidentally get too buzzed since you’re enjoying the spot and convo too much lol. Lot of seating with a lovely back patio. We were fortunate enough to be there the same time as a pop-up food tent in the back- they had this incredible vegan empanada that came with chili oil sauce that wasn’t spicy but magically capsaicin-ly delicious. Might’ve drank that. Back to the brews- bomb. Chilled red wine- buy a bottle to take home. Thank you :)“
“Nice spot hidden away in a commercial area as most breweries, but nice and comfortable. They even have a stage for events. It had been raining so I didn't see their outdoor set up, but it appears they do. Beers were solid. I was in town visiting and I took a 4 pack to go. Worth a stop.“

“Doesn't serve food, but the beer was great. We bombarded the bartender with a social hour for the group I was with. Probably 25-30 people showed up. Bartender was a trooper and did excellent. Beer was some of the best craft beer I've had. Highly recommend.“
“YUM. I don’t believe in breweries having amazing food, but these guys have it down. My boyfriend got the patty melt the first time he was here and loved it. Second time, he got the fish and chips and I got the bacon blue burger. Both meals were really good. My burger was amazing and super juicy. Got a side Caesar (chicken by accident) and that was also delicious.I had the blonde date brew and it was perfect!“
“Pretty cool spot and quite large. For some reason by the photos I thought would be a little more rustic but it is fairly new and in a large new development. They have plenty of beers and good food. That woman behind the bar was a little prickly at first but got a little better with time. Tried a couple of their beers and was happy with that and would definitely go back next time we're in town.“
