Bubba's Smokehouse & Spirits

Absolutely phenomenal experience at Bubba’s BBQ in Paso Robles! From the moment we walked in, the service was friendly, welcoming, and fast. The food was next-level — perfectly smoked meats, incredible flavor, and portions that definitely don’t disappoint. Every bite tasted like real, authentic BBQ done right. The atmosphere was relaxed and fun, making it the perfect stop whether you’re passing through or staying in Paso Robles. If you’re anywhere near the area and love BBQ, this place is a MUST. We’ll definitely be back! 🔥🍖

BBQ was definitely delicious and the place has the look of great smokehouse as you can see in the pictures. Self service at the front counter where you place the order and they call your name when order is ready to be picked up same counter. Also self seating and you bus your own table. We will be back.

I ordered the (apparently) famous trip tip. The trip tip was indeed very good to excellent and the pairing sauces were very good. Next time, I shall order the sandwich, as that sounds delicious also. I also ordered the chicken. That was cooked to perfection. I rates the service with just three stars because when I went to pick up my order, I went to the register and the lady receiving me did not smile and seemed confused with my request for pick up. Then she sent me to the pick up area, all without any amount of friendliness. This, only somewhat #recommended #bechego

We were excited to try this place based on the high reviews. We have tried barbecue all over the country and we were disappointed here. First off, the smoke flavor is not natural, they use liquid smoke and I have a sensitivity to it. So I ordered the cobb salad. It came with chicken and bacon which was my fault.The bacon was very good while the few pieces of chicken I had were dry. The large tomatoes on top were a turn off because they have diced tomatoes underneath. There was nothing special about the salad. My husband had a tri tip sandwich that he said was good but nothing special as well. The fries had no flavor to them either. The restaurant was fun, we sat in a jail cell.

Food was okay, I got a combo plate. Brisket, tritip, mac & cheese, corn and beans. I was thinking the beans were going to be like baked beans they were more like chili beans. Mac & cheese wasnt bad. Meat was okay laking flavor. I could only taste smoked flavor not seasing taste. Wasnt bad but for almost 50 buck, I need more flavor. Staff was really nice and helpful. The placed seem like a cool place to meet up amd eat. Granted I took my food to go.
