Eat Out Edinburgh!Bubba Q
Whoever said smoking kills has never been to bubba q!
Come try our killer smoked barbecue
Heard the one about the Scotsman, The Pole and The American?
The Bubba Q story is in essence a rags to (hopefully) riches tale of 2 friends with a dream to make their lifelong passion – to cook and to entertain – into a reality, this is a real life example of The America Dream in action, but set in the heart of our great country!
Maciek and Bubba (see where we got the name from!)
have lived and created a life for themselves in Scotland for 20 years and consider themselves as Scottish as most.
Weeks and months of research into the perfect meats to use, wood to smoke with, even down to developing our very own signature BBQ dry rub has brought us to where we are today – a menu fit for Bubba Q.

Bubba Q (209 -213 High Street, Edinburgh) | The List
food
American-inspired BBQ joint in the heart of the city, offering gleefully decadent offerings of grilled meats, burgers and dogs.
Opened in the heart of the Royal Mile in July 2016, Bubba Q is a trendy new haven for young tourists and locals.
Offering a strong lunch deal, especially for this purse-sapping part of town (two courses for £10), this American-style BBQ joint has a lot to offer and buzzes with hungry diners.
The name comes from a combination of the two owners, Bubba and Maciek, who rightly take pride in the meat they serve; it's smoked for eight hours before being dished up on trays with a selection of tangy BBQ sauces and generously portioned sides, such as skin-on fries or meaty BBQ pit beans.
Service is swift, if a little chaotic, but with its wealth of options from thick shakes to burgers, hot dogs to chicken wings, there's something to keep even the pickiest of groups happy.
