Best BBQ in town, quick service. I'd recommend the Pit Master Platter, we had two between the three of us and there was more than enough.

You'll never go hungry at BBQ. However the ribs are plentiful but flavourless, dry and overcooked. The beans are excellent as was the brisket. Drinks overpriced.

Bubba q is the best american style food i have tasted. Rustic setting with rustic details throughout the small restaurant but HUGE on taste! Never tasted such beautifuly cooked burgers, chicken, pulled pork and macaroni. The problem is leaving any room for pudding. 😁

Service by attentive and friendly staff was excellent. Nice selection of beers although would have preferred on tap Blue Moon. As for the food had ribs and chicken wings to start both covered in delicious sauce the chicken wings were probably the best I have ever tasted. Followed by the black and bleu burger, a delicious combination of Cajun spices and strong blue cheese. Tastes a lot better than it sounds. Finished off with a decent but not great sticky toffee pudding. Highly recommended.

Bubba Q is a fantastic BBQ restaurant in Edinburgh. This place has a lovely cosy atmosphere, with friendly staff and an amazing range of food including burgers, platters and hot dogs. I went to this restaurant on a Wednesday evening around half 6. Even though the restaurant was quick busy, we were waited on promptly and recieved amazing service and food throughout our visit. Would definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys BBQ food and brilliant value for money!
