Big J's Bubba-Q

Its just what you expect in a place that focuses on the art of cooking and preparing great tasting food. Small shack and a few picnic tables is all you need. Chicken was crunchy and piping hot. BBQ did not disappoint. Mac n cheese had steam rolling off of it and the beans were extra sweet.

Got a hankerin' for fried chicken? We heard Big J's Bubba-Q was the place to go, and it did not disappoint. Don't just drive by because it looks like a hole in the wall place. We'll, it is a hole in the wall place, but the fried chicken was excellent!! I got the two-piece white, my wife got the two-piece dark. Our sides were mac-and-cheese, baked beans, fries, and fried okra. They must brine their chicken in some super secret recipe - chicken was super moist, even the breast. And the sides were excellent, especially the fried okra. Don't be in a hurry if you order on-site - fried chicken is made to order, and it took ours 30 minutes. But it was worth the wait. And the couple that helped us - I assume they were the owners - were the nicest people. Looking for a white-napkin dining experie

Best barbecue I’ve had in a while! Highly recommend the pulled pork! So savory and delicious! You could tell that they really care about the food they make!

Do yourself a favor and come here! It's small, and the dining room is outside, but the people alone made our visit great. The friendliest staff you'd ever want to ask for. I ordered the brisket plate, with mac and cheese and coleslaw. Everything was perfect. She asked me if I wanted barbecue sauce or horse radish with my brisket and I said sure. It doesn't need any of that crap, it was perfect alone. My wife ordered the fried chicken, we requested two breasts (extra charge), she got the potato salad and fried okra. Again, everything was perfect. My only suggestion, and I was really surprised they didn't have tea, only soft drinks. I can see iced tea being a huge profit margin, and BBQ without tea?? We had an easy solution, since the chicken is cooked to order and not sitting u

Tucked away on sweetened creek road is one of Asheville's best BBQ places I've ever had. No, it's not Bears, Moe's, or Doc Browns, and no 12 bones couldn't hold a candle to Big J's Bubba-Q. First time here, and I've been in Asheville for years. This place knows what good BBQ is. The brisket was so succulent. The baked mac n cheese, the fried okra to the coleslaw is so good you'll drink the juice when you finish it, even the hush puppies were great. Finally, I have found the best BBQ in Asheville. Look no further and accept no substitutes. Thanks for the delicious BBQ 🙏🏻 keep doing God's work.
