As a native Florida boy this was truly appreciated :-) The brisket was def above average for FL BBQ. The ribs were good, the smoke wings were very good. The sides were enjoyable too.

They offer a good list of sides, and I chose fries with the sandwich. The portion of meat was generous, and the cole slaw on the sandwich was just right. I'd order it again without the bun -- it was bigger than I prefer. The brisket was flavorful and juicy. The potato salad and corn both had good, solid flavor. The roll was fine, nothing special. The fried pickles were a miss. I didn't care for the coating, and they were extremely greasy. I threw them away. All in all, it's a great place for dinner. Good food at a good price. I would definitely go back.

And boy when I tell you this is some good dang barbecue! The brisket had some nice OAK smoke and tenderness, The pulled pork was also out of this world! I would have liked a little bit more vinegar and salt on my collard greens but they were great and Bethunes was protecting our blood pressure! LOL! The ribs were PHENOMENAL and the pull on the meat was just right and it melted in my mouth! It was obvious that the chicken was so good that they ran out of it before I got there but my friendsthat got there beforeme gave ittwo thumbs up! SMH! Their peach cobbler reminded me of my great aunts peach cobbler from South Carolina so it definitely won me over! I was able to wash everything down with Brian's special recipe of a Pineapple Tea that was SO FREAKIN GOOD That I had to buy another one to take home with me for my wife! Hands down some of the best barbecue that I've ever had in my life, AND I BARBECUE MYSELF! Also they have like 4 or 5 different bbq sauces and I grabbed the hot and spicey one to take home the flavor bomb for myself later! I highly recommend that you guys go online to try to figure out where Bethunes will be at next So that you can make your taste Buds Dance and be as happy as mine were! I promise you you won't forget or regret it! Thank you Brian and Amy for an AWESOME EXPERIENCE and I anxiously look forward to my next visit! YOU GUYS ROCK!

I ordered a rib dinner with macaroni and cheese and collard greens as my sides. Every bite was so, so, so very great! The barbeque sauce is amazing in taste and texture, not watered down, too spicy or too sweet. Macaroni and cheese is perfect too, homemade baked like I make myself. The greens were delicious once I got home and mixed in some hot sauce. This is the kind of place I'd love to stop and eat at everyday. My meal also came with white bread and cornbread but I didn't have room in my belly to eat either. Down home cooking. Loved it! Can't say enough good things about the owners here, both extremely kind, sweet people.

I finally came to the right Bubba's( please see review for Bubba's 33). We arrived like 9:10 pm and pretty much 20 minutes before closing. Er were promptly greeted and we advised them we were going to give their menu a look. We decided on pick 3, which consisted of: brisket, 3 piece ribs, and half a chicken, for the sides were got macaroni and cheese and crinkled cut fries. We paid for our meal and picked a booth near the entrance. I almost forgot to mention we got a drink an made us some Arnold Palmer and for dessert with got banana pudding. We sat at our booth and our food arrived nice and hot. Fries very tasty and crunchy. We dived into the food I had a piece of brisket, nicely smoked and very moist. They had a variety of barbeque sauces you can you at your leisure. I picked a vinegar flavored and hickory sweet smoke which I alternated as I ate the meats. Let's talk sides. French fries fresh and crispy, now when it came for the macaroni it gives you flavor of the KFC version, it's alright. It came with a piece of toast. Taste similar to the cheez bread from Sizzlers just softer. (I'm showing my age). We had so much food and unless I'm very hungry we tend to share a plate. We took the banana pudding home and later tried it. The banana pudding was OMG, to die for, it had a very homemade taste. I highly recommend this dessert. Restaurant had a very cozy feel. The ambiance seem kind of quiet, but mind you we went on a Sunday night. The workers were very polite and attentive. If in the Brandon area, this is a must try.
