Tubby's Alaska BBQ Grill & Sport's Bar, Fairbanks, AK

I'd heard from a fellow flight attendant that Tubby's had great BBQ so I had to try it. Located in the Regency Fairbanks Hotel, Tubby's is a pretty neat little sports bar. TVs are located all around the bar and the whole place is decorated with hockey memorabilia, from local Jr. league, college, and the NHL.

I ordered one of the three standards to judge a BBQ joint on, the pulled pork sandwich. The pork itself had a sweet, peppery flavor, was a bit dry, and lacked a good smokey flavor. The sauce on its own wasn't all that great but when added to the pork, along with the grilled bun, it all seemed to work. Definitely not the best pulled pork sandwich I've had (I have very high standards for BBQ) but not the worst either. The meal came with choice of side, I chose fries, and a pickle spear. I also ordered a sweet tea which was very good.

Would I go back: Yes
Overall score: C+
