This buffet had a ton of options. It's very clean with tons of seating. The bbq is really good, the sauce, not so much. I love the huge variety of vegetables. The Mac and cheese was really good and creamy. The catfish was very meaty with a thin crunchy beading. I really liked it. I can't stand fish when it's wet and slimy. This fish is awesome. The salad bar includes mixed greens as well as the iceberg lettuce. That is hard to find. The staff is extremely nice and helpful. Even though it was closing time the entire bar was completely full. It was hot and fresh. They have different items different days of the week. These menu items seem to be a big hit and they run out quickly. Gotta get there early. read more

Decided to try this place for the first time. Can order buffet or off the menu. I got the buffet, haven't had buffet since Covid arrived. If getting food from the buffet gloves are required. The food was delicious. I really liked it. The only thing I did not like was the desserts tasted a little dry and the dumplings did not have many dumplings in it, mostly juice. I will still give it four stars and would eat here again. read more

Says open until 7pm on google but they said was closed at 3 pm . They need to fix that read more

Bubby's BBQ - Buffets Near Me - Corbin, Kentucky

Definitely not worth the drive or the hype of everything everyone talking about it. We drove an hour to eat here and left hungry.

This is my favorite restaurant in our town. Excellent food. Such a great variety. the best selection of fish chicken dumplings potatoes hominy just down home cooking. Really nice people. Clean read more

Never have been to Bubby's before. So stopped in on a Sunday. We had the buffet and it was very good southern food. Will definitely be going back when we travel this way. read more

This place nearly checks every box - the food is delicious, the prices are reasonable, and the service is good. I am a fan! The only thing keeping this from 5-stars is that the tables were dirty; however, the place was busy and the table turnover was frequent perhaps accounting for this issue. read more

Good food, good service, & nice people. Love their beets!

Don't eat here if you don't like down home country cooking. This was a great country food buffet with menu available. They had tender ribs, tasty pulled pork, boiled cabbage, greens, baked beans, hominy, boiled new red potatoes, catfish and there was a salad bar. Four flavors of scoop it yourself ice cream with chocolate and caramel sauces and a bar with multiple sprinkle toppings and a few other desserts. There was more; that's what I could remember. We pulled off the highway mid-afternoon for lunch and my husband couldn't resist such a name along with bar-b-que. We were very pleased with our meals. The service for buffet was adequate. read more

This place is FANTASTIC. My husband brought me here for my birthday today, and it was amazing! We got the buffet. It had a HUGE selection of foods, including pulled pork (with two different types of sauces provided at your table), fried chicken, wings, fried fish, and boneless pork chord chops as the meats. Sides on the buffet included mashed potatoes, pinto beans, boiled potatoes, honey carrots, corn, green beans, rolls, and even REAL hominy! Desserts include maple pecan bread pudding, rice Krispy treats, puddings, cakes, and more. The wait staff are amazing people. They sang happy birthday to me at our table, and our waitress kept checking on us to make sure everything was ok. She was super nice and made our day! We will definitely come back again! read more

We were passing through on our way home from Gatlinburg and Yelp had great reviews on Bubby's. It was AWESOME! From the service to the food. Gigantic buffet for $10.95 and included desserts. Bread pudding was the best I've ever had! Our waitress (sorry, I can't remember her name) was great. It was her first day on the floor and she did an amazing job. Our next trip to Gatlinburg will definitely include lunch at Bubby's!! read more

We were camping nearby at Cumberland Falls, and decided to come to Corbin for dinner (and an escape from the heat). Bubby's was definitely the right choice. The buffet was only $9.99 for adults for dinner, which included ribs. We were there early, so the ribs weren't out yet (they had just switched from lunch to dinner buffet), so as soon as they were cooked, our server brought a giant basket of them to our table. The food on the buffet was really, really good all around. Everyone loved the mac n' cheese. The corn tasted like it had been freshly cut off the cob. The pulled pork was outstanding. It was the best fried catfish I've ever had (super crispy, very light breading), and my 3-yr old became a fried catfish lover because of it. All the desserts were also great, and my sister, a bread pudding fiend, said theirs might be the best she's had. We didn't have a single regret about eating here. Exceptional food, incredibly fair price, the service was top notch and friendly ... we even stopped on the way out to ask them to open a location in Louisville if they ever expand. read more

Southern Cooking at Its Best This is by far the best buffet I've been to since I've lived down south. All the food is homemade from scratch. $10 buffet on Sundays offers a salad bar with healthy green and a good variety of other things, hot wings, fried chicken, pulled pork that's incredible. And lots of extra southern food. Everything I tasted was excellent. The blackberry cobbler is to die for. The flavors of the food beat David's Steakhouse according to my last visit there. read more

Our rafting tour guide recommended Bubby's BBQ today. We couldn't be more pleased with the fantastic dinner we enjoyed. Especially good was the signature pulled pork BBQ--served straight on the buffet or in a piled high sandwich. The tenderloin ( with country gravy) and fried catfish was also exceptionally good. Don't forget the peanut-butter-fudge-like dessert. We left stuffed, but glad we visited this very good local favorite! read more

Finally found a restaurant that promised what it advertised and then some! Very popular even at lunch. I normally don't get fish on a buffet, but this catfish was the BEST I've ever eaten. In fact, there wasn't anything that I got I disliked. A buffet which offers hominy has got to be ok in my book. read more

Huge buffet. Delicious, friendly staff, clean and a very happy local place . We are here at noon on Sunday and I'm glad we didn't wait until 12:30. It was packed and a line of 20+ waiting. Everything on buffet from breakfast to dessert. Also a full menu available for bbq ribs. Prices great and bathroom was even clean. Enjoy a local favorite read more

Sunday late lunch didn't see near the items on the bar as shown in photos . Needless to say I was a bit disappointed with that being said the pulled pork was good the service was good was really looking forward to the smoked sausage, pasta salad, cornbread salad and a few other things that wasn't available today. Will I go back? maybe but I'll call ahead first. read more

So happy to have found Bubby's on our road trip through Kentucky. Excellent buffet spread of delicious southern eats. Nice salad bar (with iceberg AND spring lettuce), crispy fried chicken, fried catfish, numerous sides including beets, collards, baby carrots, new potatoes, mac and cheese, cabbage, etc etc. There is also an entire buffet table dedicated to desserts - I don't know what it was called, but it contained peaches, berries, whipped cream, chocolate, and a very dense cake... And it was delicious! read more

So stop and pay your respects at the church of bubbyness. It's everything you would expect from a bbq joint named bubbys and they have t shirts. Bubby, it's the strawberries, you can't beat it. read more

Second visit to lunch buffet, as good as the first. The servers were on their game...prompt, attentive, personable- even while training some new ones (and doing a good job of it). Nice variety: several meats including great, moist barbeque pork, fried chicken, fried fish and a fourth that changes daily; a dozen vegetables, all tasty; peach cobbler plus a dessert bar; salad bar and less than $9! They're closed Sunday & Monday; also would advise trying to get there for lunch before noon or after about 1 to miss the rush. Most of the diners were locals that the waitresses greeted by name. Great stop en route to/from Lexington. read more

We always look for good local food on our trips and this place did not disappoint. First, the entire staff was super friendly and did an excellent job. Place runs like a well oiled machine. We can in on a Sunday at lunch time and got the buffet. 3 tables covered with good home cooked southern food; catfish, pulled pork, fried chicken, sweet corn, black eyed peas, dumplings, plus a fresh salad bar, desert bar that includes 4 flavors of self serve scoop ice cream....and that's just to name a few! Every thing was fresh and delicious! Definitely a must if traveling I75 through KY! read more

Bubby's BBQ - Pulled pork...yum! - Buffets Near Me - Corbin, Kentucky

Very average. I had the buffet and nothing was bad but nothing was great either. The catfish and fried chicken were just bland. I could've ate at Sonny's BBQ and would've been satisfied but I like to try local restaurants when we travel. I could have Sonny's in Orlando so we thought we'd try Bubby's. Next time I'll have Sonny's. read more

I very eaten there on several occasions. The best catfish I believe I have ever had !!! It's not a large food bar but everything on it taste homemade. Definitely were to go when your hungry. read more

Hands down the best barbecue I've ever had. We stopped here on our way down to Gatlinburg and the food was the highlight of the trip. The people were super friendly. We got there right when it opened and everything was fresh. There's nothing better than catfish and brisket for brunch. read more

Awful Service. Will never eat here agin the food is awful but even worse the restaurant is so nasty it should be shut down. Watched a waiter spill a whole pop in the floor and never clean it up. read more

We stopped here Sunday for lunch on a recent trip. Plain, not fancy surroundings, but the food is great. We had the buffet and the chicken and dumplings were as good as my grandmother's! Fried chicken was a little dry, but the crust was tasty. Catfish was filets and I prefer small fish on the bone, but that's gotten ridiculously hard to find -- fish was very good, though. Pulled pork was great. "Southern Homestyle" veggies: turnip greens (DELISH!), pole beans, baked beans, boiled red potatoes, etc. Salad bar was very simple, but, with those great veggies, I didn't need a salad. Desserts, if you have room, are OK. Sunday, they had peach or blackberry cobbler -- it was the " dump" kind, not a rolled out crust, but stilll pretty good. There's ice cream if you want that on your cobbler, but it's not soft-serve. You have to scoop it. Overall, a good meal and it didn't kill my wallet. read more

It was listed as the highest rated place to eat in Corbin... We didn't read close enough, it is a buffet. I HATE buffets because of all of the coughing and sneezing, nose picking, eye rubbing, and filthy child/baby touching people do. That said I'll ignore that in my review... It was busy, close to 20 people lined up when we added our name to the list, but the wait was maybe 10mins. Lots of choices including salads and starters, they had fried catfish, fried chicken, fried shrimp, pork ribs, pulled pork. Their BBQ sauce that was on the table was solid. Many sides as well like green beans, corn, greens (were good), beets, boiled potatoes, potato salad, and they has sauerkraut but had cut up hot dogs in it... They also have a desert bar and ice cream which I did not try. Decent if you're looking for a meat and sides. The wait staff was great, the food was just ok in my opinion, but the place was packed, so obviously a local staple. Extra 1/2 star for that, and an extra1/2 star because two of us got dinner and soda for less than $30. Again, it's a buffet, but appears to be the best fare Corbin has to offer, so if you stop in Corbin you're obviously somewhat brave, might as well try the buffet! To the owners, if the place is always packed out like it was on the Saturday I visited, you could probably raise the price a couple of $$ and increase your profits! read more

Best catfish period and very consistent. They know how to fry catfish and get it right every time. While most go for the buffet, they also have very good burgers. In fact, best burgers in town. During lunch BBQ is limited to pulled pork but it is very good. I also like their sauce. Staff is always friendly. They serve a lot of locals and get to know their customers. This place gets a lot of return business. They have always taken pride in their food. read more

Amazing. Great food, great service. I had the lunch buffet and I'm worthless for the rest of the day. Awesome fried catfish, fried green tomatoes, great BBQ (loved the hot BBQ sauce). The bread pudding is to die for. I will be back read more

Great food, the fried catfish is best.strange to say for BBQ restaurant,but it is awesome. BBQ and sides are good, but the catfish tops it all. read more

Met family for an early dinner. Place had been recommended and we were told ribs were awesome. I disagree. They were tough! Sauce was great. The rest of the buffet food was okay, but won't be stopping there again when back in the area. So sad. read more

Wow this place is awesome! Delicious cooking just like Momma used to make. I will stop in again when I am going down I75!

Can't understand the 5s, the BBQ was weak, the buffet unremarkable and bland. The staff was very pleasant and attentive. We like to try local restaurants when we travel so we rolled the dice...better luck next time. read more

If you are wanting a great bar b que dinner come here. They have an all you can eat buffet with ribs, pulled pork, frog legs, fried fish and chicken. Plus all the fixins. The staff kept the bard well stocked with fresh food, and the steady stream of people coming to eat made us sure we made the perfect decision where to done. I highly recommend this place we will be back. read more

Stopped by here after checking out the Cumberland falls. Great BBQ ribs ,catfish is tasty. Hits the spot. Definitely a goto place and would return if in the area!!!!!! read more

First of all, the waitress was rude. She brought my bill to me before I even got to take a seat. She was very nice and making sure we were comfortable though. Next, bubby's barbeque more like the only thing we make that actually tastes good is the cornbread salad. The chicken was horrible, the catfish was Ok, and the mustard greens were flavorless. I really did enjoy the cornbread salad it tastes better than most cornbread salads I have eaten. And the last thing that annoyed the crap out of me was the weird paedophile looking man that ran the cash register with a broken arm. He confused the hell out of me when I payed my bill, staring at me with a blank and weird expression. To sum things up (rude, weird front desk guy, horrible bbq, excellent cornbread salad also tight space). Hope my review helped. read more

On a visit to my son's college we found this little gem. Let me just say that I am not very free with my five star reviews. I always try to list the flaws that I find, and I had to think long and hard about Bubby's flaws. All I could come up with is: 1.) the bathrooms do not have seat covers, and 2.) the ketchup was off-brand. Notice not one negative about the food, because there was none. This was down-home, southern, country, sitting at Mammaw's dinner table food. It is a buffet, so I tried to get a little of everything. I tried BBQ pork, fried chicken, wings, corn, green beans, and fried apples. I feel certain I'm missing something! I will definitely be back, probably every time I visit UC! read more
