Mind blowing Whiskey selection. Smoked brisket was delicious! Good have been a larger portion. Atmosphere is bang on. Several items marked as gluten free on menu 👍 Would go back again.

Bub City BBQ is a great restaurant to go with a group of fellow carnivores. I don’t know why they don’t have this listed on their regular menu, but for $94.95 you can get the Game Day Platter, which includes a full rack of Chicago-style baby back pork ribs, 18 hour smoked prime beef brisket, pulled Berkshire pork shoulder, hickory-smoked jumbo chicken wings, and buffalo chicken bites, served with white bread slices, creamy cole slaw, pickled red onions, and regular pickles. It is enough food for 4-5 people if you also order something to share as a starter, such as the salad we went with. I recommend the Southwest Chopped Salad to accompany any bbq. The Southwest Chopped comes with tomatoes, black beans, avocado, white cheddar (you can get this on the side if you are lactose intolerant), chipotle ranch, and a gluten free fresh lime vinaigrette over a few types of greens for $14.95. My three favorite meats were definitely the baby back ribs, Brisket, and pork shoulder, and personally I could have done without the two chicken options. Next time, I’d probably just order my favorites, but for a group of first-timers the platter was a fantastic sampling option.
