My wife, daughter and I went to Bubbalou's after reading about it in a guide book. The ribs were really tasty as were the BBQ sauces. The menu was confusing to follow (most of these restaurants are -i.e. Famous Daves) but the gal behind the counter was really helpful and courteous. I recommend this restaurant. more

I was totally happy with the experience at this location. We had never had BBQ and are glad we chose this one. We had 2 kids and my mother with us. We had baby back ribs, the pulled pork and the combo plate. The ribs were the best I have ever eaten, my Mom is British and is not a... more

Took the family on May 22nd. All the food was amazing. The baby back ribs were just dropping off the bones. The baked beans had rib meet mixed in, which was an excellent touch. My fickle young boys, who complain about anything we serve, just devoured their food. The guys at the counter were kind, food was served quickly and... more

We went to Bubbalou's in April after visiting their web site. When we arrived the place looked great, it was real rustic & their was a strong smell of BBQ that we could smell from across the street. I ordered the combo which had chicken, ribs, pork, turkey & brisket, we took our seat & waited for our number to... more

We ordered 4 pounds of spare ribs for takeout. Service was great, but the ribs were not tender. The meat was very chewey. I expect good BBQ to have the meat falling off the bones without boiling. These tasted like they had been boiled first and then smoked a short time. There's no substitute for slow smoking spare ribs, so... more

We had take-out two nights in a row during our 7 night Orlando vacation because we liked it so much. We read about this restaurant in AAA guidebook. The prices are very reasonable and we had the best barbecue. We are picky eaters and have two young boys (4 and 6) to please. We had roast chicken, slab of baby... more

We ate at the Bubbalou's in Apopka eventhough we were staying in Orlando.We had spent the morning seeing the real Florida at Wekiwa Springs state park and then went there for lunch. We love eating BBQ when we are in the south because we can't find good BBQ in PA. This restaurant was great. The food was plentiful and mouth... more

My family and I love babyback ribs, so we thought we'd give this place a try after reading good reviews. We expected a "sit down & order" type restaurant and was surprised it was counter service and very casual with "picnic table like" setting. Although the gentleman who took our order at the counter wasn't the friendliest person, the service... more

Bubbalou's was great. Order from the counter then they bring you your meal. Portions are perfect a little on the big side. The four BBQ sauces on the tables are great. We had hot wings, and a pick two combo with pulled pork and ribs. Prices are very reasonable and the staff was friendly. Very casual atmosphere! By far the... more
