| Comments: | Obviously someone likes the food at Big Bubba's BBQ, or they
wouldn't still be open, but I can't believe the high ratings they received
above. Part of the reason they are still open, is because a couple of
better ones (Santa Fe BBQ & Gates) closed. This is really inferior BBQ. Where I work in Olathe, Big Bubba's is synonymous with inferior food. Actually a joke. |

| Favorites: | Ribs. Great rub. Beans are great, too. |
| Comments: | I find it hilarious that someone commented on the fried mushrooms. I'm sure they're good, but to say they're better than TGI Fridays? heh heh heh.
The Ribs here are GREAT. Very unique rub. Sweet, think honey baked ham, down-home BBQ style. I put them right below Rosedale's and Earl Quicks as the top 3 ribs in Kansas City. Eat at Big Bubbas. |

| Comments: | Didn't much care for the sauce or the abundant excess of seeds, leaves and Lord knows what else that covered the ribs. I also wasn't thrilled about the idea that they had to carry our food across the parking lot from their smoker. |
