★★★★★ 5.0 Chris Kleban · Dec 2025

Got a 1/4 lb hot dog all the way Texas weiner, and half chicken and half rib platter combo with garlic bread and mashed sweet potatoes. Texas weiner was incredibly delicious! $7.50, so some people might think it's a little overpriced, but the 1/4 lb pork and beef deep fried windmill is more than sufficient for a quick meal, so the price is fair. Before i left i got a 1/4 lb kraut and mustard dog. Wow!! Bonus - they have 10 beers on tap, they're open until ten pm, and it is not packed at all, very comfortable incandescent lights and fixtures like an old school pizza hut! I'll be coming back here every few Fridays for pickup for the family because it's on the way home!

You can never go wrong with Cubby’s ribs and Mac they also have solid burgers and hot dogs. This place really has it all when it comes to BBQ. While it’s a historic neighborhood staple, I do have to say the prices are pretty high. Every time I go back, everything seems to be marked up more and more, so keep that in mind.

I’ve been coming to Cubby’s for 15 years and won’t be stopping anytime soon. They have the best pulled-pork sandwich, ribs, and sliced steak that you can find in the area. You really can’t go wrong with anything on their menu.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Krystal Deleon · Mar 2026

Genuinely one of the worst meals I’ve had in a while. I normally only like to leave reviews when I like an establishment but this was so bad that I felt others should know. I went on a Sunday afternoon when it wasn’t busy and got an order of the ribs and chicken combo, Mac and cheese, ribeye steak sandwich as well as their fries and a cheese dog. Everything was absolutely tasteless. No flavor or salt. The barbecue sauce on the ribs didn’t even taste like BBQ. it just tasted like an overly thick ketchup. The only upside was that it as super tender, sure, but my god the flavor was awful. Same goes for the Mac and cheese (which I was really hoping would be a hit) it was dry, flavorless, and undercooked. The steak sandwich was also flavorless. The only thing that made it slightly better was

Still the best ribs around. Grab your fork and pull the bones out, then prepare for the most delicate meat. BBQ sauce is on point a little tangy and not too sweet over all taste super juicy and succulent. Mac and cheese was out of this world. Perfection with a cheese pull you could use in a commercial.
