Bub City was a good place for family or friends looking for music and a comfortable setting. Service was excellent. Ribs and burnt tips were Nothing exceptional. We did not stay for live music and glad we didn’t as it would have been very loud but if you are into that I think it would be fun. 4 of us at $250 seemed a bit steep for a pulled pork sandwich, two half slabs and a burnt ends plate. No apps and 3 drinks.

This is our second time dining at Bub City. It was a great experience. The pastrami sandwich was incredible, and the tater tots were crunchy and very tasty. The chicken tenders earned a thumbs up from my stepdaughter, and my step granddaughter loved the grilled cheese. My husband’s Old Fashioned was superb. Service was excellent. We will definitely return.
