So, despite the many shortcomings, we keep going back to Bubba's Q, and tonight was again not the smoothest experience.
We really like the de-boned rib sandwich, and it was a good as always. Their lack of diversity in side dishes is really an issue for a barbecue restaurant, in my opinion.
The biggest issue tonight was their "Kids Eat Free on Tuesday" policy... because the adults ordered sandwiches and not platters, we had to pay for our kids' meal. My issue isn't paying for the meal -- it's the cheapness around a policy like that. I feel it does more to sour customers than anything else. I really don't think there should be a huge KIDS EAT FREE ON TUESDAY sign if the particulars are so specific; it's not as if we tried to get a free meal without ordering anything else.
Service was "meh" as usual. It started with the patio being closed early and ended with us waiting, waiting, and waiting for our check when we were the only customers in the restaurant.
I always leave thinking, "Such potential."
