Great food! Great service! My fave is the fish and shrimp dinner, love the okra and coleslaw. Their French fries are delicious! Everything's hot when served! I enjoy every visit!

Monday 1/22/24 5:30pm Never heard of Bubbas Shrimp Shack and I love seafood so why not try it. Upon entering I immediately noticed only 1 customer inside. I was helped immediately. The cashier was nice and explained the menu. I ordered the medium shrimp & chips. That came with 7 shrimp. I'm pretty sure she said the small came with five shrimp. I also substituted my fries with fried okra. Sweet tea as my drink. $14.72 She brought my food to me. Fried okra was good as was the shrimp. The shrimp were pretty big. The breading on the shrimp...I don't know if it needed to be cooked a little longer or what but the breading easily fell off the shrimp. Nonetheless, it was still pretty good. The hush puppies were OK. Nothing bad, but nothing exceptional. The restaurant is casual and family friendly. Reminds me of Skrimp Shack. This place is about 30 minutes away from where I live but if I was in the neighborhood I'd revisit. But not so good that I make a special trip out there.

Shrimp and fish tacos

Today I visited Bubba's Shrimp Shack. It's in a convenient location right off of Mechanicsville turnpike. The shop is a little difficult to see from the road unless you are looking for it. It's a nice little place with some outdoor seating as well as plenty of indoor seating. I ordered the Fish and Shrimp tacos and a big fish sandwich. I didn't quite expect the tacos to be as big as they were, they're big! The fish and Shrimp tacos are really good and the breading on the shrimp is light, which shows just how big the shrimp are! The fish taco has a large chunk of fish and a mango style coleslaw. I thought both were very good and I would definitely come back for more shrimp tacos! The big fish is gigantic! It's basically a whole fillet of fish folded in half on the bread. Not for the weak of heart, this sandwich will fill you up. I took half home. The fish was good and they give you two different types of tartar sauce. The first being regular tartar and the other being a spicy sauce like bang bang sauce, both were good. The shop was clean and the cook was visibly wiping things down after having cooked and the staff were immediately cleaning tables upon people leaving. Not sure if it was the owner or manager but a nice guy stopped by inquiring about the visit. Over all I will definitely come back especially for some more shrimp!!!

Steamed spiced shrimp, whiting &mambo wings  .wow

Soooo, I'm not hooked on Hook. First the food: Granted, I'm not a seafood lover, but the couple…read moretimes I've been here, my "landlubbing" meals haven't been great. I'm sure the seafood/fish is good, my hubby liked his imperial crab salmon! I ordered the Hooked burger, and I subbed the pepper jack cheese for American. The presentation was nice, but the burger was bland and lacked seasoning. Montreal steak seasoning on this burger would have done wonders! Or some Worcestershire sauce or steak sauce... the chef needs to up his "turf" game! The lettuce was wilted, as was my spirit. The fries were ok, a tad a salt please, and I'm not trying to be "salty"! The atmosphere: beautiful blues and turquoises surrounded us and the ocean decor was lovely! We loved our cozy booth and the subtle music added a nice touch! Outside in the warmer weather, the music and outdoor seating is inviting! The service: Robin was spectacular! Efficient, friendly, and accommodating. She welcomed us with a warm smile and gave us the happy hour specials! Applause!! The prices: For what you get, in today's market the prices were reasonable. So all good there! So for service, price, and atmosphere - 3 stars!!

They had lobster roll. Which I ordered and it was wonderful. It was on a hotdog roll. Delicious…read more Spouse had fried shrimp very large. We shared truffle fries. Every bite was delicious. Service is excellent. Ambiance is pleasant. Overall this place is excellent. Easy to get in with the wheelchair. I will definitely be back. Our server was Lily very efficient.
