Bubbaque's Crystal River
Description
This Crystal River BBQ joint inspires strong opinions: many diners rave about outstanding brisket, generous portions, a rustic, clean atmosphere, friendly staff and a lively bar with $3 happy-hour drinks and a wide sauce selection. Others report inconsistent quality—overcooked chicken, disappointing fried okra—occasional rude service and puzzling wait policies despite open tables. Free parking, a robust salad bar and reasonable prices attract families and groups, but the uneven experiences give some patrons pause.

Over priced food which was really tasteless. I had the salad bar for $15.00 where amazingly all the salads offered could have been made in the same bowl, they tasted the same. My spouse had the big Bubba which had a quarter leg piece, a small portion of brisket and two small sides for $16.00. Never could have gotten away with that in Texas where BBQ is king. My advice is to skip their offerings and 12 tables, which speaks for itself, and choose a better option.
I filled my belly, won 't be back. The smoked meat was ok but not what I would consider barbecue. My father ordered a basic hamburger and turned out looking similar to a fast food burger. Barbecue sauces were about the same as all bbq places. Nothing really stood out except being expensive for what you get. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner
We visit here quite frequently and my husband wanted to go for lunch for his birthday yesterday. As always we were greeted immediately and sat right down and their server was there in less than 30 seconds. Big props to Chris for her wonderful service. There was just enough attention from her as she allowed us to just enjoy his birthday lunch! And to top it all off she offered him a brownie for his birthday! I had the combo with chicken and pulled pork and my husband had the smoked meatloaf. Wow! Good as always!
My husband and I enjoyed lunch recently here for the first time, Wednesday the day before Thanksgiving. Our waitress was Chris. Got a great feeling when we first walked in. Once seated, our drink orders were taken without a wait. We enjoyed St. Louis style ribs and wings. I had their version of a Bloody Mary. Chris was extremely attentive, and she had a ton of just fun and uplifting energy. It was obvious she loves her job. I can’t say enough good things about her, the food and atmosphere. We will definitely return and request Chris.
