Visiting here from Austin Texas and went next door from our hotel to get something to eat. Bubba's BBQ was packed but we were attended to with no waiting. This place was cheerful with lots of bright colorful lighting. The young lady that took our order was very knowledgeable and friendly and the manager came over while we were waiting and asked us if we needed anything else. Our food came really fast and it was delicious! I recommend Bubba's to any visitors or Paso Robles locals.

The decor was unique! There was a water feature you had to cross, and a couple of the tables were inside jail cells! The place wasn't very busy, so we were a bit surprised that the lady working at the counter took so long to wait on us. We opted to share a meal that consisted of 4 ribs, brisket, fries, and a side salad. The ribs were burnt and definitely tasted that way. There is signage at the table telling you to bus your own table, yet there's a jar for tips at the cash register. Perhaps we would have had the service been exceptional and the food better!

Food was okay, but got attitude from the staffing when asking about parking area. Sign saying 40.00$ parking with no indication of where to pay or for what it was for. Very miss lieading.

I have mixed thoughts on this place. The lady at the counter was honestly kind of rude. The tri-tip was OK. The brisket was overly fatty and dry, the ribs where really good, the beans where ok, the Cole slaw was bland. Only one offering for bbq sauce which wad good but sweet. So if you like different they didn't offer or give it.
