For your money,best restaurant in Carrollton,VA. I've never had a bad experience at this location. Brisket quesadilla is magnificent. Would definitely recommend, unlike that dump across the street by the fire department read more

The BBQ is one of the BEST around!! Awesome service and everything I've tried here has been delicious.

The menu looked really good and they have some interesting items. We love Cone Slingers so we decided to kill two birds with one stone and while I got a scoop for a snack, hubs ran over and got some takeout for us to have for dinner later. We tried the half chicken, pulled pork, and ribs. All were very good. I love the wide selection of sides and we chose beans and collard greens. It was good heated up later but I want to come back and get the full experience another day. Portions were large. read more

Sophia and I arrived at this little spot over the weekend for lunch. In this area, we always head to Cone Slingers for some ice cream (which we did afterwards), but never ate here. They're well known in the Hampton Roads area with three locations. So, it was time to give them a visit (their 1st opening was here in Carrollton) and see if it was legit. We were greeted by the hostess behind the counter where you place your order. We took a few minutes to look over the menu before making a decision. I chose the combo of the Bubba Burger (subbed the cheese with pepperjack and mayo with yellow mustard) and their onion rings. The dine-in is a bit dated, but there were plenty of seats available for seating. And TVs were up, with one showing off the food and the other on ESPN. The food itself was pretty good. The burger was cooked perfectly and there were enough toppings to keep it all together. The onion rings were to die for. The coating was very good and actually tasted a little sweet. Not sure what type flour they used, but it was super crispy. Sophia had the fried catfish combo which she enjoyed as well. All in all, a very good lunch for the both of us. We will definitely stop by again the next time we're in town or head to their Hampton location on our side. Till next time :) read more

Service was great. Food was delicious. We shared the brisket sandwich with onion rings. Meat was tender and flavorful. Great smoky flavor and the sauce was a great compliment to the meat. The bun was perfect not overpowering to the brisket. Onion rings were yummy. Will definitely come afai read more

very welcoming & good service they make your experience there feel personable !! I definitely recommend.

Excellent service, the staff are very friendly coming and going. They will check on you here, bring you the food and pick up any left overs. The chips and salsa are exquisite. Sweet tea is country like John Denver riding in a John deere tractor while listening to Willie Nelson. The decor is composed of old records and brightly illuminated with an orange the likes of which never seen before. Top notch restaurant. Rest in peace to big Bubba. Frank is a nice guy as well. -Thomas read more

5/5 for the pork rinds. I love all of their flavors but salt and vinegar is my favorite. When they didn't have it, the wonderful gentleman who makes them asked me when I wanted them. He's a gem. Great place! Wonderful folks. I haven't tried anything else. read more

Visited for first time Wed. 3/19/2025. Friendly folk and competitive prices but their brisket sandwich was not worth purchasing again. It's a chop sandwich but there were some larger pieces that pulled out of the sandwich and were tough. For brisket I really prefer tender, moist slices on a sandwich--a great indication of brisket done well. Fries were good and the selection of sauces were also good. The lemonade on the soda machine was empty--just got cold water. I might return to try the pulled pork but right now I am more inclined to go elsewhere. read more

Decided to grab lunch here. The service was super fast. The staff was very friendly and answered all my questions and even checked on us once our food came out. The place is very casual but does not give off a fast food vibe. We got the brisket sandwich and the chicken sandwich. Both were huge. The Mac and cheese and the baked beans did not disappoint either. The Cole slaw was just right. We had planned to go to cone slingers after but we were too full. read more

Absolutely amazing EVERY TIME. The staff is friendly and food is fresh and quick! If you haven't already try it!!!!

These guys always bring it when it comes to the food and customer service.Loved the bbq quesadilla tonight! It wasn't soggy ,it was delicious! Mac and cheese..gulp.. was better than grandma used to make( sorry grandma) ..They gave us silverware, extra sour cream and always deliver everything with care. Thank you so much for being the best Jin Carrollton! read more

I enjoy this restaurant. My favorite thing on the menu is the brisket quesadilla. I also really enjoy the sweet potato fries. Although I have not had a bad meal from this establishment. read more

This is one of the places I go to the most for takeout and a fast casual lunch/dinner. Their smoked wings are delicious, especially with the stingin' honey garlic sauce! I also love their smoked burgers, pulled pork, fries, and onion rings! They also have affordable kids meals that include a main dish, side, and drink. Kids also eat free on Tuesdays. They offer five different BBQ sauces, but I don't like their sauce options as much as other local BBQ restaurants. read more

Wonderful service, everyone was so welcoming, nice and friendly! The food was delicious, hot and came to our table quick. Ordered the catfish, collards greens, hush puppies and potato salad and it all was a 10/10! The sweet tea was great as well! A new favorite restaurant of mine, can't wait to go back! read more

Less than thrilled with this BBQ joint. Stopped on Friday evening to take dinner home for the Queen and I with great anticipation based on reading the reviews. First, the Queens ribs were dry and burnt. Yep - they slid off the bone because they were overcooked. Next, I'm not sure if my brisket was really brisket as all I could taste was the sauce which covered every micro-inch of the meat. My experience tells me restaurants pre-sauce and over-sauce to cover up poor quality BBQ. Next, the sides were as basic as it gets. I get better macaroni and cheese from Kraft or baked beans from the can. There was NOTHING special about these sides. Finally, between the flies and the wait - when I was the only person waiting for food - I just didn't like sitting in the establishment. Flies everywhere. Waited 15-20 minutes for the above food with no one else in sight. Best thing of the evening was the hush puppies - I'd go buy some more of those, but nothing else. My recommendation, try someplace else... read more

This place is great on service , id rate 10 stars if I could , I can only say so much go to bubba & Frank's and see for yourself ! I spent around 20$ for a bbq plate was definitely worth every cent. read more

I'd like to give this place a 4.5* but can't. The catfish is the best I have absolutely ever had. It was amazing. The people are super friendly and really a nice place to stop for lunch. There were three of us. The other two had the brisket plate. I'm sure the brisket was typical Virginia style because it was served in the "pulled" fashion. Having lived in Texas and also smoking quite a bit of brisket, I much prefer sliced. However, it was my fault I didn't think to ask how the brisket was served. It was very good but I much prefer sliced. The beans were good, okra amazing along with the mac'n cheese. I would definitely go back for the catfish. The catfish was outstanding. read more

Loved the food and excellent customer service. I tried the wings and my son tried the bubba burger he said it was the best burger he has ever had. The friendly service is enough to keep us coming back read more

Great food and some of the best customer service I've received in a really long time!

We chose this spot based on reviews and I'm not sure we're at the same "outstanding"place I've read about. Mac and cheese that almost 100% frozen tastes like stouffers and frozen corn on the cob. The brisket and the chicken were tasty, but that is really all I can say. . Staff was friendly enough read more

Very eager staff friendly, always helpful. All the food is good. I especially like the North Carolina style barbecue, but I haven't had a bad experience ever. Definitely can't go wrong if you like East Carolina style. read more

This was very bland and literally i tasted no chicken all dumplings DONT think I will ever order these again read more

I highly recommend this place very consistent. Every time I stop and order I'm greeted with a smile and feel like home. I recommend there Carolina style BBQ sandwich w/ slaw and topped off w/ that Pete (Texas Pete). Also there Brisket sandwich is spot on. And what brings me back is the onion rings and the buttered buns that they toast for your sandwich Smacking!!!! read more

Fast friendly service. The catfish was seasoned well, fried crispy yet tender and flaky. The restaurant is casual. It was very clean.

The Barbecue was tremendous. We also liked the grilled bun. The Cole slaw was fresh. My wife said her Brunswick stew was good. I got the Mac and cheese. It was meh. The place was a little dirty. Could have been cleaner. Good service. read more

I normally leave reviews through GrubHub, but thought I should add one here too. I have had almost everything on their menu and it's all good. My favorite is actually the catfish; if you like good catfish this is DA BOMB! Their ribs are generously portioned. I think their best meat dish is the chopped pork with the vinegar sauce. I'm not a huge fan of sweet bbq sauces but theirs isn't overly sweet Their cole slaw is really good too, like how KFC's used to taste before they changed the recipe. The hushpuppies aren't the typical balls of cornbread, but they are still deep fried, crispy goodness so it's all good! read more

The food and service was good as usual like the rest of the locations this location is just far away from everything lol but nonetheless I'll be back read more

Good ol' Yelp helped me discover this local place to eat. Orders are placed at the counter and brought to your table. Lots of options, from entrees to sandwiches and burgers. I ordered the chopped pork plate with sides of corn on the cob and mac & cheese. Noticed two busy men doing things like dusting and making sure the dining area was neat and clean. turns out they were Bubba and Frank, the owners! The entree had plenty of food! There are dispensers of sauce on a counter, so you can choose between eastern NC, St Louis, and "soppin sauce". Now any true NC person knows that Eastern NC barbecue already has some of the sauce on it. The sauce did have a good Eastern NC flavor, so I will let the "I had to add it to the barbecue myself" slide.Chopped barbecue was done the Eastern NC way and had good flavor. Ample portion. The corn on the cob was an excellent side. It was a "real" ear of corn, not the mini ones a lot of places serve. It was served hot and wrapped in tin foil. The mac and cheese wasn't that impressive. it was good, but most likely some premade item, not freshly made on premises. Nice lunch choice, but over $14 for an entree and drink it's a bit pricey. read more

The best of the best barbecue in Hampton Roads. You'd think you're somewhere in TX. The hospitality is elite and feels like a home cooked meal made with some good ol' country lovin! read more

Good food, wonderful people!! We don't go often but when we do we are always pleased with the service and food quality and taste.

Stopped by to get a quick bite to eat. The restaurant is very casual and family-friendly. They were running a lunch special that allowed you to get a sandwich or burger, fries, drink and banana pudding for $10. That sold us. The food came out in a timely manner and the employees were friendly. My husband and I enjoyed our pulled pork sandwiches. It wasn't the biggest portion of meat we've ever gotten at a BBQ place, but for the $10 lunch special made it well worth it. I didn't realize they had the barbecue sauces at the sauce station until after I finished my meal but the sandwich was good without it. If you are looking for a quick, casual eat-in place with your kids, I highly recommend. read more

This place was a great surprise. I found this place by mistake and am so happy I did. I ordered the brisket philly and was licking my fingers because it was so good. The meat was so tender and flavorful it had cheese and peppers. My lunch was so delicious I ended going back for more and I brought home dinner for the family. You have to order the chicken and dumplings oh yummy yummy in my tummy. A must try when in Carrollton. Great fast and friendly service take out or eat in. read more

Bubba & Franks Smokehouse BBQ - It smells so delicious! - Barbeque Near Me - Carrollton, Virginia

This is a great, local establishment in the Carrollton/Smithfield area for BBQ. Bubba N Franks (BNF) offers a wide array of smoked BBQ dishes such as beef brisket, pulled pork, and smoked chicken. The food here tastes amazing, and has that smoky flavor that you want when eating BBQ. Alongside the vast meat offerings, there are a plethora of side choices to complete you meal combo or accompany your entree. You can purchase items a la carte or in a combo. There are so many things to choose from. Today, I tried the brisket philly, which came topped with a well-smoked brisket, white American cheese, and green peppers and onions. I also had the fresh cut French fries as the side. The sandwich tasted great. It wasn't too messy, and everything blended together well. The fries weren't overly seasoned and were fried to a nice crisp. One thing I really liked about this place was the friendly staff. Everyone was extremely nice and inviting. I can always appreciate good service along great food. read more

First time there, last time there. No one greeted us when we walked in. So we had a seat. We soon realized we were not gonna get waited on. So we went up to counter and ordered. (Around the corner). We saw servers giving people complementary chips. So I went to counter and asked for some. We got 2 French fries in our chip basket, eww. I got the wrong sides twice with my meal. I gave up. Their sauces are all spicy and weird tasting. They bring your food to you but you have to go get your own silver wear. If you get hush puppies, you have to go get butter. Then we realized that the sauces are not on table either. Flies wouldn't leave us alone either. It was over priced for nasty food. Go to Q-Daddys for quality!! read more

Bubba & Franks Smokehouse BBQ - Greasy mess on fatty brisket. - Barbeque Near Me - Carrollton, Virginia

We went on sunday afternoon. The line was long behind us. All the tables were full. There were people waiting for take out. We tried the brisket, carolina pulled pork, half chicken, ribs, fried okra, hush puppies, macncheese, green beans, and slaw. Meats were pretty good. I like a thick cut brisket and theirs is thin. If you smoke meat you know when to cut thin and when to cut thick. Green beans were canned. Hush puppies were weird gooie, and lacked corn meal. Mac n cheese seemed store bought, so did the chicken and dumplings. Ocra was good... probably frozen. The staff was super nice, the tea is good. If im out there ill eat there again. Everything was ok. I'll bet its been amazing though based on the crowds. read more
