Grouper sandwich $17 with coleslaw
Pat C.

Bubba's is a cute little place with friendly service and fresh seafood and burgers. It was too hot to sit outside today but their patio looks real nice. The seafood is freshly made. I started with a Georgia beer made in Valdosta. It was a refreshing amber ale. It was really delicious. Next I had the crab cakes as a starter. They were big and generous with a nice sauce. The crab tasted very good and perhaps there was too much bread but overall extremely good. My entree was the grouper sandwich. The filet was large, nicely blackened, very fresh and delicious. It was fabulous! A-plus on this sandwich. I would definitely return for lunch or dinner again. It's quite popular. By 5pm the dinner crowd was here.

Catfish lunch, cheese grits, and super sweet onion rings

Great attentive service! Tracy R was awesome! Our drinks were never empty. The food was out and on the table lightning fast. Crawfish and oysters were huge! Prices are very reasonable!

The crawfish was expired and the shrimp too buttery and undercooked and the butter was all right, but it was a little too salty and the service was all right, but they didn't give us Lids with our drink

Blackened Shrimp - the rest of the fried green tomatoes and the delicious Blue cheese - must have! SEEEE that shrimp is huge !!!

Ok ..::so sorry my pic was the leftover shrimp for my Nugget ...haven't been there in a while about 1 year maybe ..:Im a chef and my GO-TO food is the FRIED GREEN TOMATOES....this time I found the PERFECT topping ...6 HUGE juicy perfectly cooked Blackened Shrimp!!! Had to ask for more BLUE CHEESE ...exquisite, well-plated, Perfect server - she (came back) topped my Arnold Palmer off after refilling it with Sweet tea-nice touch to add a bit of lemonade - don't remember her name ...but nice Tatts on arms, smooth style, thoughtful service -thx again ... I was a so stuffed.. Needed that !!!! (That's a small styrofoam togobox!)

Wine slushy

Visiting from New Jersey, my husband and I are on a road trip up the East Coast from Florida, and we decided to stop at Bubba Jax after seeing all the great Yelp reviews--it definitely lived up to the hype! I ordered the fried green tomatoes and gator tails, and omg--wow! Both were absolutely amazing. The remoulade sauce was spicy and delicious, the perfect complement. I also got a peach wine slushy mixed with one other flavor (full disclosure: I forgot the name), but it was incredible too! Super easy stop off the highway with prompt, friendly, and fast service. Highly recommend!

Great lunch spot!
Rick B.

Fun and easy to enjoy! Seat yourself and order sime fresh seafood. Everything we tried was tasty, from Crabcakes & Fried Shrimp to the Boiled Red Potatoes. The sweet tea is really good, too! Seat yourself and enjoy the quick service. Loved it!

Dog friendly

Yummy, yummy, yummy! I found Bubba Jax on Yelp, as we were driving from Florida into Georgia. It's really warm and we had Daisy with us, so we needed somewhere to eat with outside seating. I had Oysters Rockefeller which was perfect for my low carb diet. Bacon, cheese, butter and Spinach atop a delectable oyster. Delish! Dave had the seafood platter, fried oysters, blackened shrimp, corn on the cob and onion rings. All very good! So if you're heading north, Bubba Jax is located conveniently near I-75. We love supporting local community businesses wherever we are!

The fried coating was lacking any flavor. Tasted like raw flour. The staff was pleasant. We did take out do no ratings for ambience.

My husband pointed out they had fresh squeezed lemonade and let me tell you, that lemonade was fantastic. I ordered their Baja shrimp tacos with hush puppies. I loved my tacos and those hushpuppies were amazing! My husband ordered a shrimp Poboy with fries the other people in our party ordered the wharf shrimp tacos and kids quesadillas. I wish we had this restaurant in our city because this was the best place I have had on a stop through town.
