Rubbin Butts Bar-B-Q

The burgers have no right being that good! Oh and the baked beans, WOW better than my favorite grandma browns which I dream of atleast once a month.

Surprisingly good barbecue, well worth the stop. As they are also a pizzeria, don't skip the garlic knots, they are superb!

What a great bbq stop in town. Not much of a store front but the food is great. Big portions and plenty of variety. Very helpful family run staff.

The food was delicious and the workers were friendly and helpful!

I got off the highway to go to a subway on a cross the state drive and found this place instead.... Absolutely amazing

Awesome food nice and hot . Best place to eat. Wish them the best. Mike and Nancy from Long Island. 👍🏻

Really good BBQ. Hard to find here in New York State.

Always great food and service. Thanks Dave❤

Terrific brisket and great service!

Small before Wal-Mart

Delicious food and great attention

Great pizza

Great food

Passing through on I-88 and was in the mood for BBq. I had a pulled chicken sandwich that was amazing. Seems like more of a takeaway restaurant, but it was a nice break from the road to eat there.

Really good food. The nachos are made with kettle cooked chips and the same cheese sauce as the mac 'n cheese. We'll definitely be back!

Dave and Heather are fabulous! When my original caterer closed their restaurant, leaving me with less than two weeks to find someone else for my daughters grad party, Dave and Heather saved my butt! The bbq turkey was to die for and the baked beans are the best I’ve ever had! The food was delicious and everyone at my daughters grad party were blown away! Thank you Dave and Heather!

Pretty good food at descent prices. Why I give 5 stars is because they have the meanest steak sandwiches I've had in a while. Will definitely be back when in town

Very delicious meals, BIG portions. The staff is very friendly, helpful and easy going. Loved it here, they have lots of variety on their menu.

I ordered the sausage sandwich. It was massive! Two whole sausages, peppers, onions and mushrooms with homemade chips and a pickle slice for $12 + taxes. This is a bar b que joint, so it's laid back without a lot of fancy stuff. Food was hot and delicious, served quickly. Highly recommend if you want a quick bite.

We stopped here after visiting Howe caverns. Everyone was satisfied with their meals. I got the 2 meats and 2 sides. Pulled pork, pulled chicken, corn bread, and Mac and cheese and there wasn’t one thing I didn’t like!

Really cool place. The food was excellent and employees were very nice.

Really cool place. The food was excellent and employees were very nice.

Went in for lunch and we got the pistol Pete burger cooked to perfection as well as an order of hot boneless wings which were very good as well. Great flavor on both orders. The owner himself brought us our order which was also nice. Played a few games of pool and enjoyed a great meal.

Working in the area and came across this place. I’ve been on the hunt for the best BBQ pork Mac and cheese around and this place by far takes the title. Everything about the meal was outstanding and I will 100% be coming back!

Great chicken. Fast and friendly. Nice to eat inside or wait shortly for food. Has two pool tables.

We stopped by after visiting the Iroquois Museum. Kid friendly foods and atmosphere. Our dinner was outstanding. Texas twinkies, Austin Midnight, BBQ mac-n-cheese, Fish Fry and the Classic burger were all excellent. We will be back!

the name caught our attention and we figured we would come in. the server was so nice and the food came out hot and delicious. would recommend for anyone as they have a menu that fits mostly anyone’s taste!

Warm friendly welcoming atmosphere. They accommodated a party of 11 with ease. Delicious food!! Great job!

Good wings, pizza, and calzones. The ribs were good but a bit pricey. Check the menu specials for twofers!

Food is pretty good. I can't comment on the service or atmosphere as we ordered to go and I didn't personally talk to anyone.

BBQ brisket was so tender and love the sauces.

Great food and prices.

Stopped by to grab a bite as we drove through town, and got the Rubbin butts nachos and their pick two plate. The nachos were very good, the chicken was tender and well flavored. I got brisket and sausage on my pick two, and both were very juicy and flavorful. Will definitely be going there again.

Overpriced and some of the food was cold. The ketchup tasted funny and the soda was flat. They also had Fox News playing when we sat down.

Atmosphere is awesome. Clean restaurant things to do. Food on the other hand isn't as good. I got a shaved rib eye sub and there was no flavor. It was dry.

When we went, we were the only customers. It made me a bit nervous that we were the only ones there, but the brisket and pulled pork were great. The brisket melted in my mouth with each bite. They accidentally did our food as to-go instead of sit-in. As a Carolina girl, I can tell you that the cornbread is a bit disappointing. It was cold, like it was pre-made, and it tastes like it was made like a sheet cake as opposed to cooking it in a skillet. The slaw is a bit on the sweeter side. We both got a plate that came with two meats and two sides, for a total of $40. Overall it was a decent experience.

Decided to try the pizza for the first time the Pizza was not great had no flavor and no sauce it was well done cheese was over cooked and hard pizza was so awful waste of money won't be returning we will continue to travel to Duansesburgh for the best pizza

Left Howe Caverns & Grapevine farms had already closed their bistro. So we slide to the right and stopped here. Advertisement on the outside is not clear for what the menu offers. Unsure why there was “Krispy Krunchy” chicken for sale, that’s typically a gas station etiquette. Girl working the counter seems super anxious & maybe not proud to be serving there. She was really sweet though. Sodas were flat so we asked for canned sodas and she had no issue with that. Food was skeptical for sure. I ordered a crispy chicken wrap…it had HUGE raw chunks of white onion all throughout. Picked the each bite to avoid them. The chicken used was the “Krispy Krunchy” chicken which if I was aware beforehand would not have ordered it. Fries were good but seemed old. Husband ordered pulled pork platter. Pork was decent, had no flavor, mostly tasted of oil. No bbq sauce. Beans had rice mixed in. That was fine. I also did a cup of chicken and veggie soup…the chicken was not appetizing looking whatsoever. It was dark meat chunks still held together by the cartilage & had fat all over each piece as well. They are definitely not busy enough to make all food fresh so just know you’re probably getting day or more old prepped food. Reheated or fried. Also man working in the back (assuming cooking) had no gloves on and was covered from wrist to elbow in scabs and scars from what I’m assuming is picking his skin. Yum

Not enough smokey flavor for me, and the pulled pork was dry with no BBQ bark

Bland and dry. don’t waste the money on Texas Twinkie's, either make them yourself or take the trip to Texas to get real ones. Ruben was decent, friend threw out the fajita’s after eating half of one. I’m usually one to give a place another shot but after seeing all the reviews I think one time is enough.

I’ve been wanting to try the Cobleskill location for quite some time but after eating in today, I’ve decided I won’t be returning. Pizza was okay but the person working the counter was not welcoming. He seemed to have an attitude with us and seemed amused that we needed to browse the menu for longer than two minutes. I handed him my debit card, he threw it back onto the counter at me along with my receipt. We also overheard some of his conversations that should be reserved until customers are gone. Surely left a bad taste in our mouths.

Asked for Carolina pulled pork and got shards of Cole slaw. Called the business and they said that's all we give. Absolutely no more from this business.

Extremely overpriced!!!! A rack of ribs required my Amex Black Card. Ribs were just ok, not delicious but very overpriced!!! No extras, no nothing!!! Highly NOT RECOMMENDED!!! Next time I'll bar-b-que at home!!!

The food was so-so but the woman taking our order was pretty rude and was literally staring at her phone and scrolling while snapping at us to give her our order. My husband said his brisket was good though.

Worst barbecue I've ever had the everything but the sides the were the only thing hot n all the so called barbecue was over done n flavorless wouldn't recommend this place to anyone waste of $60 doesn't deserve the 1 star

I gave this place a few chances since I like the idea of supporting local businesses. I won’t try again. OK food and terrible service every time.

Absolutely horrible, words can’t even describe how bad this food was. Terrible service as well DO NOT GO HERE.

The service wasn’t the greatest. The meat was dry with little to no bbq sauce on them.

The food wasn't good, flavorless and tasted like it came out of the freezer and old

Don't waste your time or money I was very disappointed my food was very dry and didn't have flavor

We planned to meet and dine with our family. We were sat brought water and ordered drinks. My husband waited nearly a 20 mins for his beer. It never came and our order was not taken. It was after dinner rush and was not busy. I will never return and I talk to a lot of people a day. I will not recommend and I will be honest about the poor service. And I also posted in FB owner never reached out to apologize or make right. Establishment does not deserve customer business!

Hostile work environment! I ordered pizza for a specific time, I arrived to pick it up and was told they forgot to put the pizza in. This was a bit of an inconvenience, however the person who waited on me was clearly fearful and shaking when she told me of they delay. While I was in my car outside the open door, I heard a male voice swearing at his employees and using terms I did not want my 9 y/o granddaughter to hear. I can forgive the delay…it wasn’t the end of the world, however the abuse language and obvious stress the employees were under was completely unacceptable! NO ONE deserves to be abused! The food was actually pretty good…but we will never be ordering from Rubbin Butts again!

First, their food truck "bedside manner" was awful... "Nothing left but overcooked side of ribs or enough pulled pork for one Sandwich"--- probably over cooked. no sides - Food was over cooked and dry - it cost a lot as well! They could have cut us a break- they were closing soon any way!!! Last time for us! DONT GO THERE!

Walked into the side that denotes the BBQ place, only to be hit with a scent that is indescribable in nature...definitely not a BBQ smell, more like something rotting or brewing up fruit flies. The ordering area is actually labeled as a grill, and their menu reflects more of a bar/grill rather than a BBQ place. Anyways, I ordered one of their BBQ plates with pulled chicken and brisket. After the counter girl stopped playing with her Nintendo Switch, she went back and got our food. (To which she forgot silverware and napkins... had to stop at a nearby gas station to get the necessary items to eat while driving...)The pulled chicken was not bad, but lukewarm, the brisket was dry, thinly sliced, and like it had been left out all night....(mind you, we were the first ones in the place...they unlocked the doors for us) the BBQ sauce that they make was so sweet and ketchup based, instant turn-off; whatever the sauce with the C on it was mustard based and not appetizing. We were told that the mac and cheese had bacon in it, only to find out there was none when we opened it... the place was cold and very unbecoming of a BBQ place. ... we should have read the reviews prior to going there... note to self, do research on where you're getting food if you are not local.

The price was way too high, but I was willing to give it a chance. Nobody in my party liked their food at all, and we each got something different. I ordered a medium-well cooked burger which came out still mooing. I showed them and they agreed it was too raw. However, instead of cooking me a new one, they removed the remainder of my opened up burger to cook longer. When I finally got it back, it was way overcooked and had a burnt taste, not to mention the fact that we were all ready to leave by that time. The onion rings were also undercooked, and I even found the loose batter inside of a couple of them. My daughter ordered the bbq mac n cheese and it was absolutely disgusting. My husband had pulled pork and he thought the stuff in the grocery store packages tastes better. My son had the “brisket”, it looked more like frozen steak slices that were almost jerky like. I highly regret spending over $70 there and will never go back. The only highlights were the pool table and jukebox.

This is a difficult review to write. I say that because my mother taught me if ya Can't say anything nice. Don't say anything at all. Yep that's how horrible my lunch was today. Traveling through the area and decided for a quick pit stop. The name caught our attention, but don't make the same mistake we did. Our order came out fast, but the only thing that was hot was the fries. Okay so I found one thing that was good about this place the fries. The mac and cheese was lukewarm. The brisket was dry and salty. The bun was stale, bland and dry. Now let's talk about the once was ketchup, that was filtered and reborn is what they call their house sauce BBQ. Ladies and gentlemen, there's an Arby's nearby. I recommend you go there instead. Because at least when spending $39 for lunch it would be hot, fresh and have some flavor. I normally take pictures of my lunch, but it's already In the trash at the last rest stop.

We stopped here after Howes Caverns. Everyone was hungry and this was only 10 minutes away. The restaurant was empty and it was around 4:30 - 5 pm on Friday. I asked what items they recommended. They recommended mac & cheese with pulled pork and the stuffed mushrooms. We also ordered brisket, pulled pork, corn bread, and cole slaw My son enjoyed playing pool while we waited for our food. The staff was very friendly and the food didn't take long to come out. Mac & cheese with pulled pork was not very tasty. Brisket and pulled pork didn't taste very good. Cole slaw was okay. The corn bread was cold and not very good.

Food tasted like it was cooked a week prior and then microwaved, contacted company and they ignored me. All meat dry and baked beans dry and stuck to container, macaroni super gritty and salad brown and in eat full .

I’m not a hater by any means I get we have hard days but I’ve gave them 3 chances and it was by far the worst BBQ I’ve had in the area I mean bad overcooked brisket grainy Mac and cheese just terrible… the best BBQ I’ve had in schoharie county is “High On The Hog” their Mac and cheese is amazing FYI I put my Mac and cheese and pulled pork together in a bowl at my house but still what is that? And it’s oily as hell

Need more help. If you think you can run a restaurant then how come there was only two people in the dinning part does not know how to make drinks. It was supposed to be free refills but he did not check to see if I needed a drink. Did not check to see how his food was. He was on the phone the whole time. Maybe I would rethink your future with the food industry

This place was a huge disappointment the brisket was cut and dry like if I ordered deli meat. The beans were dry. The ribs were dry the corn bread was frozen in the middle. The service blew we had to get up to order beer. Even tho we were at a table. The people who play pool. This place deserves not a single star it deserves to be shut down. I never have in my 29 years written a review on anything. This was that bad!!!!!! Don't go at all

I called and placed an order an hour before closing time. The girl who answered the phone sounded tired, uninterested, and like she was doing ne a favor answering. Signed the receipt and had the food thrown at me in a bag, completely missing my daughter's order I paid for, called when I got home and oops its 2 minutes to closing and No answer! Where's my mozzarella sticks? I have the signed copy of receipt and she kept the itemized receipt. Probably ate my 6 year olds food. Not coming back here.

Oof meh:p
