| - By now, everyone has seen or heard of 'Kitchen Nightmares'. If you haven't, here's a brief synopsis: Chef Gordon Ramsay visits various eateries on the verge of closing, to determine what's wrong and help them turn around. In all cases, it starts with the food being very bad, followed by the owner(s) trying to do everything to bring back the customers- except fix the actual problem- the horrible food.
This is the problem with Bubba's.
As one pulls into the parking lot, it's hard not to notice the lack of vehicles in a near-empty parking lot- which is odd, seeing that the fast food joints in its vicinity are full, or near capacity (this should be red-flag #1 to go elsewhere).
Walking, in, you'll notice a smattering of awards on the wall- none of which are recent (and all are very dusty.). This theme direction continues in the main dining area, with seemingly hundreds of fading photos showing people wearing Bubba's t-shirts, and fake cartoon art imitating the styles of Bob Kane, Jack Kirby and others, along with a smattering of non-related purchased framed art. I won't even go into the gimmicks contained in the men's bathroom
So, what about the food? In a word: horrendous.
The chicken and pork were incredibly tasteless, dry and overcooked, as if they had sitting in a convection oven for a couple of hours.
The meatloaf, aside from being totally tasteless, seemed like it had been cooked via being boiled in a pot of water.
The Hushpuppies were near-inedible, tasting and smelling like they had been cooked in rancid grease that had not been changed in months.
The cole-slaw was practically dry, cut-up cabbage, with little to no mayo vinegar or anything resembling a sauce you would expect to find in coleslaw, anywhere in the world.
The green beans tasted like they were straight out of a can, that had been opened and dumped on the plate.
The potatoes in the potato salad were incredibly under cooked, with a crunchy texture.
The deserts appear to all have been purchased from Walmart- and they taste like it.
So, how do they stay in business? How is it that they haven't folded? Simply put, they have one-time business customers: they advertise on the freeway. Potential suckers see them listed on the "food/gas/lodging" sign, and stop in, thinking they're going to have a meal of Carolina BBQ, which it is technically true
My advice: stay away. Stay far far way. You'll be far better off going to Denny's or going hungry for an hour, and finding some other place to eat at. This place is a disgrace to not only Carolina-style, but BBQ in general.
