Stubby's BBQ - Hot Springs, Arkansas

If I could rate this place 10 stars I would! Most Amazing smokey rich flavored bbq. And the portions were jaw dropping! Then talking to two of the most gracious sweet lovely people was absolutely a joy to experience. Try everything you can and I can guarantee that you will enjoy it and have leftovers too! The beef ribs was do tender, the brisket super moist, the stuffed baked potatoes was all in one outstanding meal and dont forget to get some great cobbler to take home for dessert 😋. We will definitely be back all the way from Colorado!

Stubby's is one of our benchmark BBQ restaurants here in town. Prices are reasonable, portion sizes are generous, comfortable seating, fun atmosphere, and folks behind the counter have always been very nice and friendly. I really liked the coleslaw which I thought was mild relative to other places. The beans were good and had pieces meat. The sandwich was mild with a middle ground smokey flavor- not too smokey, not too little. It seemed to be fresh and cooked fully without being burnt. I really liked the BBQ sauce and I would have asked for extra had I known. I can't identify what is unique about it but I almost wonder if they make it in-house. I think I could smell the aroma of tamarind. I don't believe there's any ketchup in this one-which I don't like in barbecue sauce. I'd probably buy some sauce to take home but I didn't ask about it. Next time! I did note the peach cobbler. It caught me by surprise when I was paying for the meal. I've only seen that at one other barbecue place so I was impressed.

This place served us very fast and we had a group of 10. I didn't know how to order and basically said, just do everything... and they did. A huge plate of a potato topped with butter, brisket, pulled pork, baked beans and coke slaw. It was massive a d it was absolutely fantastic. Slightly sweet cole slaw went well with the BBQ sauce.

It was absolutely excellent and will be back.

Wonderful family owned restaurant. Meats were delicious. Staff was fabulous. Visited on a Monday night and not too busy, but steady traffic. Supreme potato was tasty and ginormous!

They gave you a great size portion, but the beans was plain, taste like they came right of the can. The meat has a funny smell. I couldn’t eat it. The lady was really nice, the menu doesn’t give any details, so we thought we was ordering off the menu but when we got ready to pay it was a lot higher. But the lady was really nice in helping us. First time there and last time. Food just wasn’t good!

Very nice people, great food, and peach cobbler. We splurged and did the super combo. Everything was very good. I even enjoyed the brisket which isn't my favorite meat while eating at BBQ joints. Their homemade sauce was good and the coleslaw was wonderful too, I say that cause it's hard for me to find a coleslaw that I like and they hit it on the head. Pricing a little steep but it was worth it, all very good.

My husband and I went and tried Stubby's this past Friday (I haven't been there since I was a kid) and everything was delicious! We tried a little bit of everything. The chopped pork sandwich with BBQ sauce was tasty and so were the deviled eggs, their crock of beans with chopped ham and bbq sauce on top, very good. My husband enjoyed their ribs, beans and coleslaw. We both liked the peach cobbler too! Great atmosphere and very friendly staff! We will be back and I won't wait 30 years this time. 😉

Great atmosphere and service. BBQ was standard. Not overly impressed by the seasoning, smoke, or sauce. Generous portions on the spuds.
