Went in on Wednesday around 4. They were not very busy yet, and having worked in food service for many years I know it is common to receive terrible service when a restaurant is slow. Not the case here! Our server, Samantha, was fantastic. Very attentive. The restaurant was nice, there was plenty of parking, and the food was fantastic. My son got the chicken fingers kids meal with mac and cheese, and while the price felt a little high for a kids meal, he got a lot of food. My husband and I shared the pulled pork grilled cheese and the I can’t believe it burger. The burger was the second best burger I’ve EVER had (the best being at a restaurant in Colorado that is famous for burgers, so this is saying something)

I would absolutely recommend checking them out, but also, give them some grace. It is a new restaurant, and I imagine most of the staff is new. It takes time to find a rhythm. We will be back for sure.

Not the best BBQ place around. Food needed salt, not much flavor. But the sides that we had were great! The slaw and mac cheese were very good, they had sweet tater fries, and they have salads that are plentiful. Place is clean and staff were friendly and attentive . They had craft beer ,which wasn’t bad. I’ll try it again. But will try different food

Such a refreshing atmosphere. Tasty food and excellent service. BBQ that isn’t over smoked or too sweet. PERFECT! Thank you to the owners for giving Lowell a new place for couples and families to eat. We will definitely be back often .

3 stars with the hopes of more once we revisit. All meat was cooked good, the St Louis ribs were very tasty and did not require sauce. Best sausage ever. Pulled pork, chicken, and brisket all required sauce. Inject, brine, heavy seasoning! Great smoke ring on the brisket though! Beans and Mexican corn were on point. Everything on the plate could also have been served hotter. Keep going, we need a good bbq place in the area!

Keep in mind that with BBQ places, running out of certain items, especially meat is very common, even more so when the establishment just opened. BBQ is a very hard food to design around amounts of people showing that day. Give these guys some time to fine tune!

TERRIBLE experience today. Looks nice and smells good but that’s all I can say. After sitting in the restaurant for 40 minutes with only OK service from our waitress. We were told our $6 appetizer was on the house, but they could not serve us the dinner we’d even waiting for cause their computers weren’t working. We weren’t given the option to pay with cash. It wasn’t even the manager that told us, they sent our waitress out to tell us.very poorly ran. Just because you can make good food doesn’t mean you should have a restaurant. $6 wasn’t worth 40 minutes of our time. And we weren’t given any incentive to want to come back.

2nd visit to Bub’s BBQ…
…1st visit was at 7 pm on a Thursday the week they opened. Was greeted with “we’re out of Brisket, Ribs and Sausage and there’s a one hour wait for food”…was really looking forward to their opening but walked out very disappointed. Bub’s isn’t big enough (including outside seating) nor is it a “cook to order” type of restaurant to ever warrant a “one hour wait for food”. As far as running out of meat and an hour wait for food go, (considering Bub’s restaurant history) those negatives have to be due to poor management.
…2nd visit was today 8/31 @ 3 pm. We ordered Smoked Brisket and Pulled Pork sandwiches with Fries, Coleslaw, and Cornbread as sides. The Brisket was dry where it wasn’t fatty (void of juice/moisture) and lacked any real flavor…couldn’t taste any supposed rub. The Pork was dry as a bone, way over cooked…I think if you blew on it ‘porkdust’ would of flown off…both meats were highly disappointing. As far as the sides go…Coleslaw was watery, over sugared with a few small specks of carrot, Fries were hot when served but lacked any seasoning/salt and the Cornbread seemed like a box type with no added flavor. Another disappointing factor about Bub’s is they only offer one kind of BBQ sauce at the table…a rather generic sauce at that. The Brisket and Pork come sauceless…so one generic sauce doesn’t cut it. I’m not going to comment on the restaurant’s “atmosphere” or “service” because as far as I’m concerned, if the food’s not good the rest is irrelevant.

Really, really disappointing…I was so looking forward to their opening but with what we experienced, along with closed restaurants in Demotte and Rensselaer, makes me wonder how long Bub’s will last in Lowell…

FOLLOW UP: I knew “Bub’s BBQ” wouldn’t last because of poor management and quality issues but only lasting a couple months . . . didn’t see that coming! “We’re going to bring you something like you’ve never seen before” . . . you were right Bub, never seen a business fail that quick!

So. We’ve tried to try this place since
It opened. Always something. Well finally made it. The food is good. But ordered the bucket of bbq. And came with 4 sides. The sides were individual sized. You figure you spend 70 bucks on a meal
And you would get at least a family size side.

This is the best BBQ in northwest Indiana. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was awesome and the service was out of this world. Would recommend highly, and we will be back many times.

Brisket is tender, bbq is good, beer is good.I believe tho for $14 though for what you pay for, for the portion size may be very debatable. But, burgers are good and sliders and great.
