Service was fast and professional and the place does have a vibe. Lot's of TV screens and great outdoor seating. The food however... Is mediocre. It's not bad, but nothing special. Pulled pork was okay, brisket was fine, coleslaw had way too much mayo, taters tasted like they came from a bag.
Solid meats and good sauces. Not the best bbq but pretty good. We had the platter which comes with the meats but not the wings. Pulled pork and ribs were good. Brisket was fatty but melted in the mouth. They said the wings are the best but we did not try them. Cool atmosphere and lots of bars in a nice location.
Ugh I'm stuffed! I was in the neighborhood and had a hankering for some BBQ. I ordered the brisket, mixed with lean and fat. And my partner had a half slab ribs. We also each ordered a biscuit and a basket of waffle fries. The brisket was great and just melted in my mouth. It was a good portion even though it appeared less than what it was. It came with some great coslaw, red onions, and a slice of texas toast. I would have preferred a garlic style Texas toast. But the biscuit made up the difference. It's a big biscuit! I also had a chance to try the ribs and wow they were tasty. The meat didn't fall off the bone but it was super tender and each rib was full of meat. The waffle fries were soooo good and crunchy. Well worth it!
I wasn't able to snap a photo of my meal because I was too hungry. Stop by and give it a try!
Love the music! All country! They also have love bands. I got the double cheeseburger. I wish the onions were not little chunks it was messing taking them off. I should have asked if they were little pieces. Nice and friendly staff. Their ranch was also very good. They have Coke products, with free refills. On the weekend the cover charge was $10.00 for the live band.
I had the brisket sandwich. The meat was decent. The bread was a little flimsy and seemed like a cheap bun. Overall kind of a small sandwich/meal given the price but not a bad option. The atmosphere was really lively and service was good.
Clean, friendly place. I had the chopped southwest salad, and it was pretty good. I also had a bottle of Lone Star. It was also good and cold. Our server was nice and checked on us to make sure everything was going well. There are several TVs to watch the sports and the bar is spacious too. Cool place. 😎

love!! Usually go here when visiting family in the city. Pictured was when we were celebrating Sheylyn’s bachelorette weekend! Was nervous about bringing in a large party but made a reservation before hand. Our waitress was so nice and got all our drink and food orders in super fast! Food is always delicious and the love band was setting up as we were finishing. Always love it here and need to go back when they do karaoke!
We stumbled upon this fun karaoke bar with a rock band while trying to find a nearby bar that was closed that night. It was lively & brightly lit inside. Friendly bartenders, alternative crowd-mostly college students. We had a good time. Cocktails were decent. Will be back to try their famous BBQ.
Bub city is always a crowd pleaser! Can’t go wrong with their BBQ, sandwiches or drinks!
