Editorial Review for Bubba's Barbecue – by Susan McDevitt
The Scene
Just minutes from the city, this place is about as "country" as you can get, with linoleum floors, wood-paneled walls, an acoustical tile ceiling and country music playing on a speaker. Parents share hushpuppies with their kids, professionals throw their ties over their shoulders. A guy in an apron comes out of the kitchen and tells you to "eat more."
The Food
It's authentic Eastern-style barbecue, hickory-smoked and slowly pit-cooked for 10 hours. The pulled pieces (no slices here, sorry) are juicy even without Bubba's famous vinegar-based sauce. Hushpuppies, slaw and other Southern sides make this a meal fit for even a Northerner.
Southern favorites round out the menu: fried chicken, meatloaf, chicken fingers, ribs and Brunswick stew. Get a combo plate if you must, but definitely don't miss the barbecue.

Insider Tips
Get It to GoEspecially at lunch, if you're in a hurry. Even then, the pickup line can reach almost out the door.
Think SmallFor lighter appetites, the "small"-size plate is more than plenty. Don't worry ... you won't go hungry.

Being from "da dirty south" (the ATL), the expectations of BBQ is very high, and i found at Bubba's "Eastern Styled" Carolina barbecue is something different. Not very impressed with the flavor of the meats and the sides came straight out a can. The good thing about Bubba's was service was very good and a clean dining area.
Pros: Good Service, Clean
Cons: Lack Flavor, Over Priced

Being from Eastern NC, this is one of the true treasures of Charlotte. If you have never had Eastern style BBQ, you don't know what you are missing. A "10" all the way. BTW if you are liken to Sonny's or Carolina Country, you probably better go there, this is a different world! (not that I am downing Sonny's or Carolina Country, but there is a HUGE difference in East vs. West!)
