Wubba's BBQ Shack, at 3930 South 6th Street, takes you on a nostalgic journey to a bygone era — complemented by the adjacent boot-repair shop.

Upon entry, a delightful wall of BBQ aromas and welcoming staff awaits.

The Main Location

The 6th Street location offers lots of seating options:

  • Sports Bar — TVs, a relaxed crowd, full menu and drinks
  • Outdoor seating — for warmer Klamath days
  • Banquet hall — for family events, rehearsal dinners, birthday parties, small gatherings
  • Catering — for those who prefer events closer to home
  • Take-out — for nights when you want the food but not the crowd

With an attentive staff and mouthwatering dishes, Wubba's stands out as a great place for local BBQ.

What to Order

Wubba's home-style menu spans the classics:

  • Brisket — the gold standard of Texas-style BBQ
  • Pulled pork — slow-cooked, sauced or unsauced
  • Ribs — fall-off-the-bone tender
  • Smoked chicken
  • Burnt ends — when available
  • Sausages — house-smoked
  • Sides — coleslaw, beans, mac and cheese, potato salad, cornbread

For first-timers, the sampler platter is the way to go — try a few proteins and figure out what brings you back. Most people end up making the brisket their default.

Wubba's BBQ Express — The Railway Car

As if one location weren't sufficient, Wubba's BBQ Express offers a second outpost — housed in a converted railway car at 1745 Austin Street.

The Express location provides:

  • Outdoor seating
  • Drive-through service
  • Take-out
  • Catering services

The Express is the move when you want Wubba's flavor but don't have time for a full sit-down meal — grab-and-go BBQ on the way home from work or to the lake.

Why Two Locations Make Sense

Most independent BBQ joints stop at one location. The fact that Wubba's has expanded — and that the second location is in a converted railway car — tells you two things:

  1. The demand justified the expansion — Wubba's was turning customers away or maxing out catering capacity at the first location
  2. The owners care about character — a railway car isn't the cheapest or fastest way to add a second location. It's the most interesting way. That choice reflects something about the kind of operators Wubba's owners are.

For Klamath Falls — a town that loves its quirky local character — that railway-car Express location is exactly the kind of detail that gets shared with out-of-town visitors.

A Real Klamath BBQ Tradition

Wubba's has been building its reputation in Klamath Falls one plate at a time. The work shows up in the small details: the meat that's been cooked correctly low and slow, the sauce that has actual character instead of generic sweet-and-tangy from a bottle, the staff who genuinely seem to enjoy being there.

That consistency is what turns a good restaurant into a Klamath institution.
