    Yelp Review 575! My wife and I visited Bubbas in 2009. I was driving through and decided I wanted to revisit Bubbas on a random Friday afternoon. I was amazed at how much the area had been built up. Bubbas was much brighter on the inside than my previous visit. I got in line and was promptly waited on. My meal was huge. The chicken fried steak was huge. I didn't eat for another 10 hours. I liked that they had a random loaf of bread to grab a slice to dip. My corn and mashed potatoes were also equally tasty. Bubbas is one of the best around. This time I visited during lunch but anytime you have the opportunity to visit Bubbas you need to pop in. I highly recommend.

    This is a place we've driven past a number of times on trips from Dallas to Galveston, and it always reminds me of our first puppy, who was coincidentally named Bubba. This time, we finally decided to stop for an early dinner and now we regret waiting this long. Bubba's is (my idea of) a traditional BBQ joint - order on the line, choose your sides, pay the bill, and find a table. If you order steaks, you just tell the cashier which two sides (or a baked potato) you would like, pay up and it is all delivered to your table. Sodas are self-serve - although one of the staff asked if I wanted a refill and got it for me, which was appreciated. Bubba's obviously caters to locals (even though it's on I-45) because we were recognized as being first-timers. (Staring blankly at the menu may have been a hint.) We had multiple staff check on us during the meal. It was an impressive dinner. The staff was very helpful (since we were rookies), and the food was very, very good. We both ordered Cowboy Ribeyes. I enjoyed my baked potato and my wife enjoyed her green beans and french fries. It was so good, we need to go back to try the BBQ next. When we got in the car to finish the drive home, we realized it's only about forty miles from our house. We may not wait until our next trip to Galveston to return. Highly recommended.

    Ordered the New York Strip Medium. I was hesitant. It came out cooked to perfection and tasted delicious.

    Wow! This was truly one of the best steaks I've ever had the pleasure of eating. The appetizers,…read moredeviled eggs and bacon-wrapped shrimp, were good. The Caesar salad was good, traditional, fresh, and the correct size. The garlic mashed potatoes were good. But the wagyu NY strip was just incredible. It was almost black on the outside and just warm on the inside, a perfect rare as wagyu beef should be. The meat was unctuous and delicious without being greasy or fatty. It was so richly umami flavorful, perfectly seasoned. It was just an excellent steak. The bourbon bread pudding was a huge serving and wonderfully flavorful. There was some nice bread to go with the meal too. The smoked old fashioned cocktail before dinner was excellent. And I got a nice Cabernet that perfectly paired with the steak. Our server was casual but friendly with a good balance of hospitality and service. This was truly a great dinner and one of the best steaks I've ever had... and all of this in Ennis, Texas. If you're reading this review, thank you... but just stop reading and go to Ruston Cattle Company.

    Went here as we heard it was a sort of upscale steakhouse, seems more like a Dickey's BBQ style…read morevibe. Seating is not ideally comfortable for a one and a half to two hour dinner, ambience is not too loud, but not exactly leaning on the side of anything remotely formal. Good for groups, good if you like steak....I will say if you like steak that is overcooked with a 1/2inch burned crust and very salty. Was excited to try the wagyu filet but it was overdone and impossible to enjoy the tenderness when you had to bite through so much burnt. Noticed that they serve a crème brûlée, and unfortunately, it did not live up to it its hype: I received a oval dish about 6 inches long that had a smidge over - I kid you not - a quarter an inch of crème brûlée, including the soggy caramelized crust. When I ran my spoon from one end of the dish to the other, it barely filled up half the utensil - it was rather saddening. Now I am the kind of person that believes in at least a "two times whack" with the bottom of the spoon in order to break the lovely caramel crust on top of a crème brûlée; this poor little dessert was not even thick enough for the spoon to rest upon the crème brûlée without it sinking to the bottom of the dish instantly. Positive notes, our waitress was a little misinformed on the menu, she might've been new and so that was not her fault as she did well in trying to accommodate our party of three - one who is particularly hard of hearing - and their Caesar salad was average, but nothing outstanding, along with the potatoes and brussels sprouts we got along alongside the meal. All this being said, if you like a variety of big pieces of overcooked salted meat with a thick crust, this is the place for you.

We were ready for some awesome BBQ. I ordered the 2-meat plate (brisket and ribs) with two sides for $18.99. When the tray arrived, I was surprised to see only three small slices of brisket and two ribs. The brisket was dry, with little flavor. The ribs were unlike any I've had before--tough, full of cartilage, and difficult to eat. The sides were the highlight: the fried okra was cooked to perfection, and the green beans were well-seasoned. Unfortunately, they didn't have cobbler. Our waitress explained, "We only have it when the owner's daughter-in-law makes it." Honestly, that should be a special, not something printed on the menu. We came in with high expectations but left disappointed--so much so that I didn't even bother taking pictures of the food. Next time, I'll just stop in Corsicana and eat at Bubba's. Sorry I deleted all pictures except the two of The Duke. I wasn't going to review but I changed my mind. Even though I have no pictures, trust me!

So I ordered a pound of brisket and a pound of smoked sausage. They previous charge was reversed and I paid for the brisket and sausage and was given the coleslaw complimentary. After the hour long drive home from Alma to Winkler Creek Estates on Richland Chambers Reservoir, discovered that the smoked sausage was missing from the bag. Had the brisket and coleslaw, but not a single sausage. Called back to chat with Susan, said I'd get a call back. Still waiting... The slaw and brisket was great! Lacking sausage...not great. Overall a "no joy" situation. I don't think I will be back.

    My nephew and his wife renewed their vows last week and my husband and I had the honor of meeting…read morethe owner of this business. The event was at Hidden Waters Chapel which is a really beautiful Tusean like setting in Waxahachie. This business quietly set up the meal buffet style on black table cloths so quietly, we didn't hear anything but we sure did smell it and it smelled so good! I'm a skeptic when it comes to "wedding" food so I'll start there. So here we go: Brisket: Literally could be eaten with a fork. Tender, not dry at all. I don't normally eat red meat but I couldn't help it. It was beckoning me from the plate. Pulled pork: One of my favs and this was no disappointment either. I know, I'm supposed to only get one meat but the pork was so moist. Then the owner explained which sauce (there were 2 kinds) went with each one and he was right on the money. Mashed potatoes: Perfect ratio of butter, salt and I think these were homemade mashed potatoes and not the boxed flakes. They were "comfort food" for sure. Bread: This was probably the "piece de resistance". I'm into ratio with everything so with bread, it can be too dry, too salty, too sweet, too floppy..,you get the idea. Oh my goodness. I knew I was in trouble. At first, it looked like a croissant, warm, slightly gooey in the middle, flaky and then when you bite into it, theres a slight sweetness about it. These are dangerous, in a good way. I stopped at 2. Pickles, Onions and other relishes: Delicious, fresh. As neatly, professional as they set up, they shut down and were gone. I happened to get their card and will definitely keep it for future events. His card says "On site, On time" Personally, I like that. His team was personable, neat, hair pulled back, efficient and the whole things was so well done. Well done!
