Strange as it may sound, this restaurant, which serves traditional barbeque dishes, is operated by 'Bubba', a friendly Iranian man in his late 50's whose real name is Hassan Khalili. But then it is no surprise either, because the venue is located not in the south, but amidst the cultural diversity of Northern Virginia. Along with business partner Joyce Hoffman, Bubba bought the place in 1996 and gave it a different feel by using models of pigs in various forms and materials as decorative items.

Pick hot Buffalo wings with celery and ranch dressing and chicken tenders to start your journey into the gastronomic delights offered by the menu.
