Bubba QB+

213 High St, Edinburgh, EH1 1PE, United Kingdom · American restaurant · Old Town

A casual, hidden-downstairs American BBQ spot in the Old Town that wins fans with huge portions, burgers, wings, and strong value — but consistency is uneven enough that the dry-meat complaints are hard to ignore.

Our take

Bubba Q delivers strong food quality anchored by reliably praised burgers, wings, and ribs, but inconsistent execution keeps it from approaching grade A territory. Fast service and a fun cellar setting on the Royal Mile add appeal, though variable meat preparation and occasional dryness prevent the consistency needed for a higher grade.

One caveat: The biggest worry is inconsistency: some meals are excellent, while others are described as dry, stale, or reheated.
