great food and service is first class
by RRR08
......................"Finally I thought after stopping to eat at Bubbas numerous times how I needed to let everyone know what a great place this is. I am baffled by the review from DJ. We travel from Houston to Dallas at least once a month on business. We always plan our timing so we can eat lunch there.......and there have been occasions where we headed back to Houston the same day and also ate dinner there ! Never have I had a problem or anything but praise to say about the service or the food! The atmosphere is very family oriented.........and those planes hanging from the ceiling are awesome. I highly recommend Bubbas to anyone who travels I-45. This place definitely deserves the 5 stars everyone else has given!! By the way, I saw a plaque hanging where USA Today Newspaper has Bubbas as one of the top ten places to eat in Texas. Good job Bubba!!!
- Pros: service and quantity of food for the price

Worst experience ever; Completely destroyed Mother's Day
by simplydjo
We stopped here 5-11-08 on the way from visiting my mother in Dallas for a nice Mother's Day dinner. My partner went through the line while the kids and I sat for 15 min while our waitress chatted at the table next to ours. Finally ordered while my partner tried to eat the dry burnt ribs (finally gave up) waitress is back to chatting at the table next to ours. 25 min. later our food arrives (a bbq sandwich, baked potato, and hamburger) She literally chunks the plates on the table and takes off, I saw "ma'am" she looks at me, continues walking so I loudly say MA'AM she stops and I ask her for silverware, she rolls her eyes at me comes back and tosses them on the table. Again I have to call after her because she forgot our french fries..meanwhile she AGAIN chats at the table next to ours. Manager comes over and asks how every thing is, I start to tell her AND SHE WALKS OFF!!!!!!!! We got the french fries when we were done with our cold food. I AGAIN had to call the waitress to try to get our bill. LOUSY Service, honestly the worst I have ever had, terrible food, and indifferent managers. Not a penny was deducted from our bill. I will never go back and will do my best to share my horrible Mother's Day dinner.
- Pros: easy to get to
- Cons: worst service I have ever received, total indifference by the staff;

All you could ever want in a BBQ joint...
by caseygrrl
Don't let 'em fool you. A good meal of BBQ is not JUST all about the secret sauce; or the wood; or the hundreds of other tricks to the trade -- It's ALSO about the SIDES. I mean - we live in Texas, people. You can't turn a corner without finding a good BBQ joint. Bad ones aren't gonna be around long, so you can tell - if the building has some age to it, if there's a couple of "real" pickup trucks in the parking lot, if the neon (inside) needs dusting - it's gonna be decent BBQ. But Atkins aside, one doesn't just live on a hunk of meat alone. I want sides. And Bubba?s has got ?em. Delicious potato salad, home-style green beans, deviled eggs, pintos, turnip greens, coleslaw and this was just one trip. It seems the veggie choice changes each time I?m there. I?ve not had one that I didn?t love. This heaven is in addition to the best BBQ eva! The meat falls off the ribs, the brisket is moist and flavorful, the links are delish. No, I didn?t eat it all in one trip. This place is worth repeating over and over again. And don?t forget about desert ? you won?t have room for it but get it to go; it?s cobbler - usually peach or blackberry. I used to stop there every time I came to Dallas from Houston. Now that I no longer live in Houston, I will be driving to Ennis for BBQ.
- Pros: Great veggie choices & desserts. Friendly staff. Comfortable seating.
- Cons: I want BUBBA's in my neighborhood!
