  • I've been slow on the reviews lately - blame it on the cold AZ winters (i.e., days in the 50's) that chill me to the bone ;) We have had this Groupon burning a hole in our iPhone so off we finally headed to Bubba Phatz. Given how many storefronts have closed in downtown Mesa, I figured this place had to be pretty good as it is still open. We walked in on a Thursday night at 545 and we were the only customers. That was the first sign..... As others have stated, the menu is up on a chalkboard. Apparently others went on the day that they advertised having cornbread b/c it sure wasn't on the sign we saw. The kid behind the counter recommended the short ribs on special that day. I love short ribs - nothing beats a good slow grilled short rib, the meat is so moist (and it makes a killer pot of beef veggie soup). Anyway, I ordered the short ribs w/ mac and cheese, and corn. The DH ordered pulled pork with beans and corn. I will admit that the short ribs were moist - but not a bit of rub on them and they were so salty, they were almost inedible. And greasy. Not a tad greasy. Really greasy. To the extent that the bottom of the dish was covered with orange grease which then soaked into the mac. Yes, short ribs are fatty meat - but usually that has melted from the grilling. The grease was pretty overwhelming. My DH's pulled pork was tender and fairly moist - but again, no taste, no rub. But at least it wasn't soaked in grease. The corn was corn on the cob sitting in water. no butter for it. just hot soggy corn. Nix that. The beans - were beans. Nothing special. Nothing remarkable. The mac and cheese was just old. It wasn't creamy. And it wasn't eggy. It was just old and clumpy. And didn't taste much like mac and cheese. All in all, it was not worth the trip. And I am sorry to say that. I really wanted to like that place as I love the independents. But I can find much better BBQ (although, frankly, I am ready to open my own place :). $28 for two one meat dinners w/ 2 sides each and 2 small sodas.
