As if we needed any more reasons to love Bubb’s Grub – the outstanding service (Cole, Steve, and Delaney are excellent servers) and delicious food (and VARIETY), despite that we eat here with some regularity, on our last visit, we tried two menu items we hadn’t had before – the cod fish and chips (available on Wednesdays for fish fry day), believe it or not, and the chicken wings. Both were big winners and just add to the pile of great menu items such as the juicy sliced brisket, the don’t sleep on on it, thinking it’s just an ordinary burger at a barbecue place, burger, because it, too, is delicious; the chili, the crispy yet fluffy French fries, and the tobacco onions (thinly sliced crispy onion rings perfectly seasoned).
Well, on this last visit, the cod fish and chips was crispy and flaky and hot and delicious and boy those wings are excellent just naked with only the dry rub and no sauce. And we had a server we hadn’t had before and she, too, did a great job with service – Lydia. Wow, that was a fun dining experience.
It’s not just the food, the service and the more than decent wine list that keep us coming back to Bubb’s, it’s also the warm and welcoming atmosphere and the feeling of true camaraderie and community we get at Bubb’s. We’re lucky to have this place in Catalina. Give them a visit it you haven’t done so yet – you won’t regret it.
Bubb’s Grub is awesome! It’s been a regular go-to for my wife and me but I thought I should point out why. First of all, the service is phenomenal. We are treated like absolute royalty. It feels like being home all the servers (shout out to Cole and Delaney in particular, but really we get excellent service from every one of the servers like Steve and Louis!), all the managers, they’re all great. They anticipate our needs and they exceed our expectations and our expectations are pretty high in the first place. Just always a good time when we eat here.
Now, the food. Yes, the barbecue is excellent. The juicy brisket is indeed juicy and flavorful. The barbecue chicken is delicious delicious well seasoned and tender. But the steak is outstanding as well – really flavorful really tender, cooked to the temperature you asked for an absolutely delicious. And really a very reasonable price – don’t sleep on the steak.
Another dish you shouldn’t sleep on is the burger because it’s also great – very flavorful. And the french fries are crispy and hot. They’re the crinkle cut type and they’re really good.
The chili is also excellent and so are the tobacco onions. Those are an excellent appetizer or an accompaniment for certain dishes.
Wine list is pretty good as well
You can see why this is easily such a nice place to dine. And that’s why we keep returning.

Thank you Steve for the excellent service! My wife and I enjoyed our anniversary dinner! She loved the Mac and cheese and I loved everything else! I think we had our first fight over the pulled pork, it was that good! The portion size was large and the prices were low. The ice tea was fresh and great and my wife loved the margarita!

Wow! One of the best BBQ places I’ve ever been. The atmosphere was fun, Western decor. Cold inside which is good for some and not for others.
There were four of us for lunch. Each of us got something different. I got a two meat platter and got two servings of brisket. Tender enough to cut with a butter knife. I ordered the fries and a side salad (up charge) as my sides. It also came with Texas toast or tortillas which I gave to hubby. It came with pickles and jalapeños which I ate with the meat. Hubby got the burnt ends appetizer and a side of baked beans. He thought the ends were equal to our favorite spot in Florida (my brisket was better). He wasn’t real fond of the baked beans; he said they tasted like they had chili powder in them.
Our friends had bbq pork, “tender, melt in your mouth” comments and fried walleye. Can’t get that anywhere else in Arizona most likely. He was pleased he tried it.
Negative are the bathrooms where you have to go outside out back. They aren’t exactly convenient or clean.

Hey, a great place to celebrate St. Patrick’s in a throwback old west setting. The service was friendly and timely and the food delicious and abundant. Never had a bad time or meal here. Just sorry we missed the bag pipes.

We stumbled upon Bubb’s Grub on the way back from exploring Oracle and Biosphere 2, and what a fantastic surprise it turned out to be. My wife is originally from Missouri, so anytime there’s BBQ on the radar, we’re there — and Bubb’s absolutely delivered.
We started with the Japan Poopers as an appetizer, and they were downright delicious — packed with flavor and just the right amount of kick to wake up the taste buds.
For our main, we shared the three-meat combo and went with the brisket, hot links, and pork ribs. Every bite was on point. The brisket was tender and juicy, full of smoky depth. The hot links were savory with just the right hint of spice, and the pork ribs? Fall-off-the-bone perfection. You could tell everything was slow-cooked with care and tradition.
From the welcoming staff to the hearty, flavorful food, Bubb’s Grub is a BBQ joint we’ll be talking about for a while. Highly recommend stopping in if you’re anywhere near the area — it’s well worth it.

Homey BBQ restaurant/bar. Service was excellent and decor interesting. Our large group was taken care of by several friendly wait staff. Our request for separate checks was even accommodated without any negative comments or eye rolls. Bathrooms are located outside, which could be a challenge for physically impaired patrons. My husband said his brisket was just average as well as his beer. The fries were very good. Bubb’s has very few healthy options or vegetarian options. I tried the side salad, which consisted of iceberg lettuce, 2 slices of cucumber, and 1 tomato wedge. Needless to say, it wasn’t the tastiest or most creative of salads. We don’t live close to Bubb’s; so it’s not a restaurant worth our drive.
