Looking for the best barbecue in Tucson and perhaps all of Arizona? Bubb’s Grub serves award-winning barbecue in a casual and comfortable setting. Not only does Bubb’s Grub offer standard dining service, it also has a full service bar. Take-out and catering services are also offered. I order takeout as part of my Thursday night routine. I am never disappointed.

Who would suspect that some of the best barbecues in Texas are cooked right here in southern Arizona? Apparently the owner has been serving up some of the best beef brisket, pulled pork, and ribs, among other grilled favorites since the 1990s.

From what I’ve read, the owner started cooking an award-winning barbecue in his home state of Wisconsin before moving to his current location in Catalina Arizona. He has won multiple awards for his barbecue and dips in Las Vegas Nevada, Scottsdale Arizona, St. Louis Missouri and in his home state of Wisconsin, according to various articles on the web.

Arizona and Wisconsin are a long way from Texas, but a sample of the simmered beef brisket and I’d swear it was in Texas Hill County. The beef brisket, pulled pork, ribs, and hotlinks are some of the best, regardless of location.

Dan hasn’t forgotten his roots and offers a Wisconsin fish fry on Friday nights. Green Bay Packers fans will also find a home at Bubb’s Grub. Bubb’s Grub also offers sports fans a big screen viewing in the restaurant’s “Big Ten Saloon.”

Bubb’s Grub is all about food. The prices are reasonable and the portions are generous. My favorite is definitely the two meat combo with brisket and pulled pork. The cole slaw is also very tasty and perfectly complements the barbecue.

I found the restaurant’s atmosphere to be laid-back and laid-back, reflecting the slower pace of Catalina Arizona. Bubb’s Grub take-out is fast and efficient and the staff are always friendly. So if you like to barbecue and are near Tucson, head north to Bubb’s Grub. You will not be disappointed.
