Simply the best BBQ around. This takeout restaurant is our favorite. Everything from beef ribs to brisket is excellent and most importantly done consistently well. We get dinner from Bubba's every week. Highly recommend. It's family owned and operated which is great as it allows us to support a neighborhood business and family.
Please note this review is based off of the misleading information in Yelp. This is not a dine in location. Drove all the way here and seen it was "to go" orders only. Yelp needs to update this detail.

We have been looking for a great BBQ place and Bubba's has been the best place. Meat falls off the bone and it's tender. Kids also love Bubba's best. The sauce is great and the owners were very friendly.

The pictures are misleading. It's just a kitchen with a minimal menu. No seating . Pictures are from their la jolla location per the person working

I saw a new place in town on Google maps so I had to try it. The food was great but it is "take out only." I'm going to put a positive spin on this and say that if you're an introvert looking for BBQ, this is the place for you. If you want your food handed through the door then send you on your way, this is just perfect. I understand that they're working out of a corporate park and it's not really a dine-in storefront so that's fine, I just hope that they do well and grow. The BBQ sandwich was actually pretty impressive. The coupon was odd since it said to call ahead but had no phone number. You can order online but there's no way to reference the coupon. I'll cut them some slack, things get missed when starting up but if you have that flyer/coupon, be sure to bring it in person. I'm glad to hear they cater because this is definitely a business I'd call in for an employee party at some point.

Our van group did a social meetup at Bubba's on a Saturday afternoon. The place is take out only so there's no actual restaurant, in an industrial complex which worked great for all our vans to park without being in the way of other customers picking up orders. The owner was very friendly and accommodating. The bbq was some of the best I've had in a long time. I had ordered a 1/2 lb of the brisket & two 1/4 chicken portions (all dark meat) and a medium size container of the potato salad to share with my son. The brisket were thick juicy & tender slices. The chicken was just as juicy and tender. The sauce was provided on the side and was very good & didn't over power the flavor of the meats. Potato salad was also very good. Everything was delicious!

Great food, good service. It has moved to a Rancho Bernardo office kitchen location and don't have dine-in option anymore. But for a takeout place it is really good. The buffalo chicken wings, the ribs and especially the coleslaw was heavenly.

Best beef ribs in San Diego - yes - better than Phil's. By far. Heartbreaking that this establishment closed, and can't wait for the grand re-opening. The beef ribs were fatty and the sauce was delicious. The service was outstanding.

Love Bubbas! They’ve moved from La Jolla to Rancho Bernardo and are doing TO-GO orders only. I will gladly drive to the new location to be able to get my Bubbas fix. Jeff the owner is a great guy and the bbq is delicious!**TIP: Call in or order online and go pick up your order. Follow the signs and pull up to the sign pictured!Parking: Park close to the bubbas sign.
Delectable ribs. Meaty, delicious, perfectly prepared. House made sauce excellent as well. I've eaten barbecue across this fine nation and this was top tier grub. Will definitely return for more.

Was hoping to try Bubba's because of the reviews.. however the location was take out only.. which is NOT clearly noted..I called and double checked as I sat in the parking lot as well. *note to owner reply.. while the 1 star is not based on food.. and I appreciate you doing what is needed to stay in service by only offering takeout.. I drove 20 minutes to visit your location.. please update your site and yelp to note .. take out location.. so it is not mis leading.. wish you continued success.

I wanted to try something new and went on Yelp and came across this bbq place. Located in an industrial park you will find this ghost kitchen which is NOT a restaurant! Which means you can get delivery or to go orders. Perfectly convenient! The owner greeted us and personally brought out our to go order to the car. You want to order online or call it in so it's ready when you get there. We ordered the pork ribs, beef ribs, French fries, Mac and cheese and potato salad. All were very good and fall off the bone. The sides were perfectly made and fresh! I love that the bbq sauce is sweet and tangy! Will definitely be back when we are having a bbq craving!

New Bbq place in my neighborhood I decided to try out from a coupon left on my doorstep and it did not disappoint. My wife and I got the smoked brisket sandwiches with sides of coleslaw and Mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese is some of the best we have had. The brisket was moist and tender and smoked to perfection. We tried two bbq sauces. One was sweet and tangy and the other was a vinegar based with good spice. Highly recommend. This place is situated in an industrial business park. It is takeout out only. Recommend calling ahead to order and picking it up as delivery services add a hefty surcharge. When you get to the place you need to ring a bell and your food is delivered to you. A little unusual and unique but didn't bother me. Support local and small business!
