The ribs were amazing - aside from that everything else was.....good. Unfortunately the price tag didn't reflect that. If you're coming here for a live event AND to eat I'm sure the cost is more palatable but for simply stopping in for dinner I have to say Stubb's was a bit underwhelming. Our appetizers weren't on par with what you could get from a national chain - let alone a local specialty restaurant. Our 3 meat trays gave us the opportunity between two people to sample almost everything. The rub used on the ribs is truly spectacular but everything else was mild in flavor and, in the case of the chicken, the cookery itself was off leading to dry slightly crumbly meat. The side dishes were all very basic - yet even with their simplicity they missed the mark. Service was a bit rushed but I suppose that is to be expected given the brand popularity. All in all we wouldn't stop by again when back in Austin as there are many other options in the area with better bang for your buck.
