“This has become a tradition for us!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed yesterday NEW via mobile

We've been going to Bubba's for about the past 9 years. It is our first stop for dinner as we start our week in Garden City Beach , SC. The service this time was prompt even though the place was jammed on Saturday night, our waitress was quick, efficient and professional. This is a casual - let me stress casual... More

“Nice seafood shak”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 days ago NEW

Start with a cheap beer, grabs a basket of hushpuppies ( usually excellent) , and go from there. Don't forget the swings downstairs & walk across the street to Scottys for a nightcap

“Second Visit Just as Good as First”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 days ago NEW

Choose Bubba's two years ago based on Tripadvisor reviews and loved it. Conference took us back to Myrtle Beach and we went again and took more friends. The flounder is wonderful. These are probably the best hush puppies I have ever eaten. (sweet)

“Service was definitely better than the food.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 week ago via mobile

I guess working at a high end seafood in DC I am spoiled by the crab cakes we sell. Ours are 98% jumbo lump crab meat. What I got looked like a smashed salmon cake and was burnt. And I mean BURNT! I am a server, I never send my food back. But I did tonight. Absolutely the worst crab... More

“Great takeout”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 week ago via mobile

Stayed down the st from here all week. Got takeout twice for 7 people. As far as ordering takeout it's impossible by phone. The first night it took 20 min to order. Sat on hold twice and called 10 times to get through. Bartender takes orders, fills orders, makes drinks, and takes all money. Pretty much everything while 3 girls... More

“Looking for Great Fish Dinner”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 week ago via mobile

Was in the mood and looking for a great seafood dinner, didn't get it, sorry. Though we would share so I ordered the flounder dinner and my wife ordered the shrimp dinner. The flounder was about average but the shrimp was under cooked, the slaw was dry a flavorless. The fries were so-so and the hushpuppys were not all that.... More

“Good times with friends”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 week ago

Nice late lunch with friends. We had shrimp and catfish platters. Food was hot and tasty. Service was good as well. Note that most of the menu is fried food.

“Great Catfish”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 week ago via mobile

My husband had the all you can eat catfish. They were big pieces and he said some of the best he'd had. I had a blackened mahi mahi sandwich. It too was great. Really enjoyed our meal.
