BBQ was definitely delicious and the place has the look of great smokehouse as you can see in the pictures. Self service at the front counter where you place the order and they call your name when order is ready to be picked up same counter. Also self seating and you bus your own table. We will be back.

I ordered the (apparently) famous trip tip. The trip tip was indeed very good to excellent and the pairing sauces were very good. Next time, I shall order the sandwich, as that sounds delicious also. I also ordered the chicken. That was cooked to perfection. I rates the service with just three stars because when I went to pick up my order, I went to the register and the lady receiving me did not smile and seemed confused with my request for pick up. Then she sent me to the pick up area, all without any amount of friendliness. This, only somewhat #recommended #bechego

We were excited to try this place based on the high reviews. We have tried barbecue all over the country and we were disappointed here. First off, the smoke flavor is not natural, they use liquid smoke and I have a sensitivity to it. So I ordered the cobb salad. It came with chicken and bacon which was my fault.The bacon was very good while the few pieces of chicken I had were dry. The large tomatoes on top were a turn off because they have diced tomatoes underneath. There was nothing special about the salad.
My husband had a tri tip sandwich that he said was good but nothing special as well. The fries had no flavor to them either.
The restaurant was fun, we sat in a jail cell.

Best spot for bbq and a margarita in North County and my kid loves it too which is a bonus. My only gripe is that there is no kids specific menu – there are some sides – but the portions are definitely satisfying and enough to share with the kids without being huge. Fast service and great food. I recommend the brisket pizza, pulled pork and the garlic fries. For the adults you have to try the frozen “Love” drink which is a mixture of tangy citrus and sour apple daiquiri.

We had the smoked chicken, brisket, cheeseburger, and pork belly salad.
They were all terrible and looked and tasted like it had been sitting under a heat lamp for days.
The chicken was very dry. The brisket didn’t really look like brisket. Very bland.
The pork belly salad was a ton of lettuce with barely any meat. The meat was great and dry and I could barely chew it.
We are SO disappointed especially for the price!!!!
The inside is cool and definitely good for kids but the food was so awful I couldn’t believe it.

Bubba’s BBQ was amazing! The brisket was the best I’ve ever had, the turkey melted in my mouth and was unbelievably moist. The brisket nachos were a full meal on their own and so tasty. The mac and cheese and tallow fries were incredible, and the potato salad with a vinegar flavor was good, just different from what I’m used to. The atmosphere was great, even though the drink station felt a little out of place and parking was a bit tricky. Still, it was worth it for the food, and I’ll definitely return if I’m ever in the area again!

They might be listed here as ‘Bubba’s Smokehouse & Spirits,’ but they also go by ‘Big Bubba’s Bad BBQ’—and honestly, they should stick with the ‘Bad’ name because it fits the experience perfectly.
Per notice, the owner displays her combative attitude in response to the numerous reviews sharing experience of well her being combative!
The worst part of the experience was the owner. The brisket we ordered was literally so dry we gagged and choked on it. It was also a strange, pale white color.
When I tried to explain this, the owner rushed over—not to help, but to be argumentative. She essentially tried to authoritatively lecture me, claiming that brisket is supposed to be that way. When I pressed the issue because I wasn’t being heard, she just gave me a fake smile and made a noise as if she was dismissing me. It was incredibly condescending. On top of that, the macaroni salad was not fresh at all.
It is a real shame because her son, who took our order, was quite nice and helpful. The tri-tip was actually tasty and interesting, served in slices the size of bacon. But a polite son and decent tri-tip can’t make up for an owner who serves inedible food and treats customers with such disrespect.

Quirky spot with tasty BBQ, I recommend Bubba’s if you’re in the area. We stayed at a hotel nearby with two small dogs. Walking to Bubba’s and chilling outside was nice. I appreciated the heat lamps and dog friendly vibe. The BBQ was solid. Tasty trip tip and excellent brisket – I really liked the Hawaiin mac salad and onion rings.

Big Bubba’s ‘Bad’ BBQ certainly lives up to its name—but not in the way they intend.

I can’t rate the food. I can’t rate the service and really can’t rate the atmosphere because I WAS DENIED SERVICE. Why…. I have a service dog.
I went early (about 4:30pm) with a guest. Upon entering, I was ignored by a server while the cashier stared at my dog with a disgusted look on her face. I tried to order…. She didn’t take my order opting to tell me to take a paper menu and go to a table. I had a polite conversation with a lady feeding her baby. After 20 minutes, we walked toward the counter only to witness the wait staff cracking jokes. We were the only customers in the restaurant so I can only interpret their actions as refusing to serve us. I am a disabled veteran. What a shame.
