*Big Bubba’s has
improved quite a
bit since our
last visit
several years
ago. I got the 4
rib platter with
a side of beans
for $8. I got 4
big ribs and a
good side
portion of beans
– so I was
pleased with the
portion
size. The ribs
were a little
sweet for my
liking but
tender and good
smoke flavor.
The beans were
OK – not the
best but not the
worst. The
service was very
friendly and
fast – always
like to order at
the counter
rather than be
waited
on. Overall I
was pleased with
the visit and
would go back.
*Big Bubba's
Barbecue is one
of the best
barbecue joint
in
Olathe. I
enjoy eating his
consistently
great ribs which
are rubbed and
caramelized with
his secret
sugary
concoction.
Unfortunately,
the occasional
rib is a little
too sweet in
sections. He is
perhaps the most
innovative
barbecue owner
in
Kansas City
with his
patented
software that
monitors his
smoking process
and
behind-the-counter-business
operation. Bubba
has even
developed mild
and hot low-carb
barbecue sauces.
Wow, is this guy
entrepreneurial
or what? I have
always enjoyed
eating at Big
Bubba's. Go to
Big Bubba's for
some great cue.
*This
is a walk-up and
order kind of
place with quick
service. The
smoker is
outside the
front door and
can be tasted in
the meat. My
brisket sandwich
had good, smoky
flavor. I
ordered "smoky
vegetables"
which turned out
to be
cauliflower,
green beans,
carrots, onions
and broccoli in
a buttery sauce
with some red
pepper. I liked
them and would
get them again.
They are put in
a pot and cooked
out in the
smoker. They
also have a
steak soup made
with chunks of
brisket, corn,
green beans, and
onions. It's
more like a stew
than a soup. We
had it for
dinner and it
was a hit. I'll
go back with my
family and try
the huge crinkle
fries since Mike
forgot to give
me one to try.
*Beans are
great! I got the
small sandwich
and it was
small, but good.
They have
low-carb sauce –
it was good and
what a good
idea. I like the
décor of this
place -
western/country,
not overly cute.
I didn't try the
steak soup, but
it looked great
- a good reason
to go back.
*I really like
the sweet sauce.
The ribs were
tasty but
somewhat tough
on the ends. The
fries were above
average. I would
certainly go
there again. The
glaze on the
ribs added to
how appealing
they were. I
have had ribs
there before and
they were
tenderer than
the ones today.
*I
was pleasantly
surprised by Big
Bubba's. I had
driven by many
times and never
stopped because
it looked so
small. It is
quaint, but the
ribs were great
and the fries
were the best
that I have
eaten. They were
very fast and
friendly when we
ordered. Their
computerized
system for
smoking was
interesting as
well. I had the
4 rib dinner and
a drink which
included fries
and a lot of
meat on the ribs
for around $9.
It was well
worth the trip
and I would
definitely go
there again.
*Great food for
a good price. I
had the large
brisket sandwich
and fries. The
brisket was very
tender with a
great taste. The
fries...what can
I say other than
umm, umm, good.
*The smoked
vegetables were
very good as
well.
