Consistently good food, great view Have been several to times to Bubbas. What you always get is a very good meal. Barring some bad weather, the scenery is fantastic. The service is usually good; have had average service though.this isn't typical, though. It is more often great than it is lacking. Price is fair for seafood. With a sunset on... More

Bubba's was recommended to us by a local who claimed, "That's where the locals go." True or not, we liked It enough that we went back twice! All servings are very generous. I had to take portions home each time we ate there. The crab cake dinner is superb! In fact, all of the seafood we sampled was very good.... More

I came here with my brother and mother for brunch the weekend of mother's day. I called ahead in advance to reserve a table, preferably outside. There were two hostesses that day. An older woman with short, curly, blonde hair greeted us and was about to seat us inside. I interjected and told her I made a reservation for an... More

Our review is based on our experience and our expectations. Okay, crowded but we get there and they have a guy in the parking area to help us park, great start cause we are tired, cranky and hungry. Our wait is not long, they are happy to see us, the staff are super friendly, happily make recommendations and discuss beer... More

The staff was very friendly and treated us like old friends. I had the crab cake dinner and it was SO BIG! I couldn't eat it all! But it sure did taste good! My husband is not a seafood eater and his chicken sandwich was huge too! He said it was very good as well. If we're ever in the... More

Loved the casual atmosphere and the opportunity to sit outside near the water. I had the blackened tuna sandwich and cole slaw; I would order it again, but I'm anxious to try the rest of the menu!

If you are looking for simple, good seafood dishes, this is a place to try. They don't do things too fancy - and that's one of Bubba's finer attributes. I was there recently and asked about the specials. That day they had freshly caught flounder and tuna. I went with the flounder but then was wondering how it was prepared.... More

The food was very good and we liked the atmosphere. It was very busy and you may have to wait. We really enjoyed it and returned for brunch with the kids the day we were returning home from vacation.

I stopped for dinner at Bubba's on a Thursday, around 5 pm. I was seated outside. The water view is pleasant, although not the ocean. There wee a few recreation boats , and even a windsailor on the water. By the time I left, there was no place to park so I would suggest you come early. Bubba's claims that... More
