This is what all the other scratch kitchens were trying to be. Bubba's Smash Burger - Fantastic burger. Perfectly cooked. Bubba's burger sauce is great. 5/5 stars. Shotgun Shrimp Po'Boy - This is the best item on the menu, and it's a must get. The shrimp is lightly breaded, and their shotgun sauce is sweet, savory, and a little spicy. 5/5 stars. Bubba's Lasagna - Everything you wanted the lasagna to be. Not greasy, good flavor, and the focaccia bread is artisan quality. 5/5 stars. Salmon - Good portion size but overcooked and dry. The garden rice was delicious, and the side of broccoli is steamed with garlic. 2/5 stars, mostly for the good sides. Creamy Chipotle Pasta - Very spicy and delicious. It's almost perfect but there's just something missing. 4.5/5 stars. Side Salad - If you don't like salad, this one will change your mind. Just get a side salad, cause it's pretty big. I attempted to recreate this at home, but it didn't come close. 5/5 stars. Spicy Italian Pizza - This one was forgettable. I don't remember a whole lot about it. I'd skip pizzas here. There's much, much better food on the menu. 3/5 stars. Blackberry Lemonade - I've tried the blue lemonade and the mango lemonade, but they both suck compared to the blackberry flavor. Just get the blackberry, and you'll be happy. 5/5 stars. We've been here 3 times. Every time the service is great, and the place is a bit loud cause the place is usually packed. No weird dances like Texas Roadhouse, but you won't miss it. Plenty of TVs to try and find something decent to watch. Go here, you won't be disappointed. Highly recommend. read more

Despite being very busy we were seated immediately. We did break our party of eight into two 4's. But we were in booths back to back. Waites was prompt and fortunately we ordered immediately. That proved to be a good choice because the kitchen went down shortly after. Our order was process but the other booth was not. So, while we were finished our other booth had not seen their main course yet. Our food was delicious. Everything is very tasty and fresh. Even the spinach dip. My California chicken was delicious, with just the right amount of lime. My wife ordered a tenders plate. It was all great. The reason for four stars? The consistency of the service was very questionable. We had children with us and their meal came out even before our drinks came. Then our appetizer came out late, just a few minutes before the main course. Server was very friendly. Food was delicious, I will be back. read more

I made a return trip especially to try the pizza. I've seen lots of reviews saying Bubba's pizza was really good. So, I had to try it for myself. I ordered a 12 inch Deluxe 33 pizza. This was a large pizza. More than I could eat in one sitting. The crust is thin except on the outer edges. The wood fired process makes the outer crust crispy - in some spots very crispy. The bottom of the pizza was still soft and nicely baked and lightly coated with corn meal. The crust has a buttery garlic flavor which was delicious. The quantity of toppings was just right. The vegetables had a slight crisp and tasty fresh. The meats had good flavors. No strong Italian flavors. I liked the larger and thicker chunks of sausage. The pizza sauce was kind of hidden. It was hard to detect as it wasn't very plentiful. Seemingly it is slightly sweet with a mild tomato taste. Cold Pizza Test - the crust stayed moist with a slight crunch. The flavor of the toppings seemed to blend even more with time and coldness. The corn meal base flavor seemed to become even more prominent. Bubba's cold Deluxe pizza had an enjoyable taste! The side salad was nice. The greens were fresh with a limited number of side vegetables. I accepted the onion straws on top of the salad. While the onion straws had a nice taste...the number of crunchy items dominated the salad. I thought I was eating more straws than lettuce. The team here works hard. The shift manager is on the ball and keeps things moving. She is very professional and welcoming. Myranda was our waitress. She hustled and came back to check on us frequently. We appreciated her service and kindness. Just to reiterate from previous reviews. This is a large but busy place. Use the wait list feature. Otherwise you are gambling on longer wait times. Also...the restaurant is very loud. This may not be the right choice if you want to have a quiet dinner or easy conversation. read more

When I visit Fort Wayne I love to try a new restaurants. Bubbas 33 was recommended as having great burgers and margaritas. My boyfriend had a mushroom burger with an egg and I had pasta. We also ordered wings as an appetizer. We were able initially given cold wings. They took the old wings back and brought hot wings. They did not charge us. There were a few missteps with not bringing bread out and serving dry pasta. They give me extra sauce and it completely enhanced the dish. The server was very nice and accommodating. Overall, good experience. I think I will try a burger next time. read more

We went here for lunch and this was my second time here. We had Bri as our server. She was kind, efficient, funny, and knowledgeable about the menu. She made us feel like friends. Our food was delicious. The manager came by and refilled our drinks and asked how everything was while Bri was in the weeds. Everything was delicious! Big portions too! We will be back! read more

Had to revisit Bubba's 33 just to make sure our first visit wasn't an exception. It was not. We have the app (I highly encourage you to get it) so we joined the waiting list. Definitely glad we did. The parking lot was full when we arrived and the wait was an hour. We were seated in about ten minutes because of the app. Our server was incredibly kind and kept our waters filled. While it was very busy, we didn't feel ignored. We were seated next to the servers stand so we could hear the banter behind us. They seemed to be enjoying themselves despite being swamped. This restaurant does have a sports bar vibe but very family friendly as well. We chose not to do a starter and each ordered the Shotgun Shrimp Po' Boy. Hubs had loaded tots as a side and I had the fire fries (these have a nice kick to them) with ranch. I'm still full five hours later. The sandwich is massive and absolutely stuffed with shrimp. It comes with its special sauce, lettuce, tomato and onion. I ordered without the tomato and onion. Hubs ordered without onion. All sauces are made in house as is everything on the menu. The quality is incredible. A gift to anyone's tastebuds. We enjoyed everything we had and left excited to return. Definitely put this on your places to try. read more

I've been here five times now and have had a great experience every time, the staff is very friendly I was seated rather quickly and it was a busy Saturday night and there's something on their menu for everybody, I've taken my mom to dinner a couple times there and she loves the shrimp I highly recommend her pizza and what I call a double cheeseburger with the barbecue sauce basically it's a rodeo Burger, very delish!!!! It's a great place for a first date or if you just want to meet friends after work for a beer at the bar read more

The place was incredibly busy. We have the app and joined the wait list. As we entered the restaurant, we overheard someone leaving who was appalled about having an hour wait....we only waited about 10 minutes. Thank you, Bubbas Waitlist! The host and our server both were very kind and helpful. Our server, Wendi, was authentic and attentive. She talked with us about the menu, kept our drinks filled, and checked in on us often. The restaurant is definitely a sports bar. Large TVs line every wall. The decor is Americana. While it's loud when it's full, it just adds to the energy of the place. My husband and I both ordered the Shotgun Shrimp Po' Boy. He had Fire Fries and I had the loaded tots. The Po' Boy was loaded with shrimp and the Shotgun sauce is delicious! Hubbys Fire Fries had quite a kick, but so good! And my loaded tots were delicious! I highly recommend you get yourselves to Bubbas 33. They make everything from scratch which makes it all even better! read more

Stopped in for dinner. I enjoy that I can check in on the app and then just go when it's time. We had the burger, pizza, and chicken bacon avocado. The burger was huge and tasted pretty good. I like the focaccia bread on the chicken bacon avocado sandwich. The pizza had a good flavor and good sauce. The server had the beer specials wrong so we paid a little more than we thought. The service was good but they hovered a little. Loved the decor inside and it was very clean. read more

My son and I were out grabbing his new glasses and decided to grab dinner while we were out. He had already tried this place about a month ago, so we decided to try it again. We got the small size onion rings to start and they were amazing! Then for dinner, I got the Monte Cristo sandwich and it was AMAZING! Truly one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. It came with a raspberry preserves that was so delicious! My son got Chicken Bacon Mac and Cheese and he said it was pretty good. Overall, the service was really good and our server took care of us very well. Loved all of the TV screens so I could keep tabs on the Olympics and the Big Ten games happening! Will definitely be back soon! read more

We hardly eat at chain restaurants in FW (we like to make it a point to support local), but we wanted to try Bubba's 33 because we were told it was really good... It wasn't really good, it was really awesome. I'd describe the joint as kind of mix between a B-Dubs, Red Robin, and Rooster's (Ohio wing/sports bar chain), but exponentially better... It's got a high end sports bar vibe with a solid menu, ranging from burgers to sandwiches, to wings, to steaks, and even pizzas. All the food coming out of the kitchen looked great and our burgers and fries were absolutely fire. We got the classic cheeseburger and smash burger, and I'd put them in the same class as Bravas & Henry's (who imho have the best burgers and fries in town, but Bubba's is up there too). Plus, the restaurant is really well priced (especially as compared to other establishments in town that are straight screwing people under the auspice of "inflation")... $60 for the two burgers/fries and 4 craft beers, which included a 25% tip. As for the service, it was superior... Our server "Punkin" (yes, with an "n" not an "m"... Cool ass name) was one of the best servers we've had in a long time; really friendly, funny, prompt, attentive, etc. - You can tell Bubba's is well managed. Overall, Bubba's is 100% worth a visit... We'll be back again for sure. PS - Use their Waitlist app, otherwise you're gonna be waiting for a while (1.5-2 hrs without using Waitlist). read more

Went here 3 times in 4 days while in town. Great food, drinks, and patriotism. Service is always great but the last time I went in I was served by Alex. He did a top notch, above and beyond job.

The food was delicious and wait staff was informative and friendly. This was my first time here. I decided on the bacon cheeseburger and onion rings. $13.99 for a double bacon cheeseburger was very fair. They don't skimp on the meat. I ordered it medium-well but it came out more well. That was fine though because the burger was still moist and juicy. Good flavor too. The onion rings were some of the best I've ever had. A nice light batter and the rings were sweet and cooked perfectly. I usually don't like bigger, thicker onions rings but these were excellent. I will definitely be back the next time I am in Ft. Wayne to try their pizza. read more

Basically just replaced Chili's with a new name but same menu. Appreciate the wide open space and how late it opens. For my orders, most of the fried food was either way too salty or way too fried. At the mass and speed the kitchen is sending out dishes, I expect them to nail it. Especially since most of the menu is fried food. read more

My husband and I went on a Wednesday around dinnertime. Although the place was busy, we were seated almost immediately. Our server was new, but she was very nice, engaging, and attentive. We ordered the Poblano Spinach dip appetizer, which was good and only slightly spicy. We both had a tasty mocktail. My husband ordered the Fresh Veggie pizza, and I ordered the Wild Shroomin' Burger (minus the beef patty) with seasoned fries. We both were impressed with how delicious and well-seasoned everything was. My only complaint is that although their motto is "Food for All," they don't offer any meat alternative patties for non-meat eaters, but the Wild Shroomin' Burger (without the burger patty) was flavorful and delicious! I highly recommend the place and plan to add it to my list of favorite "places to eat in the city." read more

This a cute sports bar type restaurant. Food was tasty-large portions. Our waitress was super friendly. They had Coke products. Not very diet friendly if you are counting calories. We had wings, a dinner item and a salad. All were good. I would come back! read more

Went in 2 days ago for the first time, for a nice juicy burger( what I've heard they're good for) and boy was it great!!! The only downside about my visit was the service.... I never once had a manager ask me how my food was, nobody ever came to clean a SINGLE dish off of my table( mind you I was sitting at a table for 2, so not a lot of space) there was one particular worker (Jerika) who was giving me dirty looks and rolling her eyes the entire time( I felt extremely rushed and uncomfortable from the way she was looking at me) and every time I tried acknowledging her she turned her body away and went on her phone. Other than that the looks of the establishment were nice and food was great! Would eat here again if I knew that person would fix their behavior/ looks of attitude read more

Great place for a family or date. Plenty of options on food. Wife got a cheese pizza and thought it was good. I had the fish and chips. Bothe were very good. Right amount of breading. Fish was tender. Service was great. Beer was cold. Highly recommend this restaurant. read more

We went to Bubbas to try it out with what seems like the rest of Fort Wayne. But honestly I really didn't care for it. The service was really slow but I recognize that its fairly new and busy. It still took about 45 minutes to get our meal. The server was nice but clearly razzled by another situation. The food was just okay. Not to write home about. The Spicy Chicken Sandwich wasn't spicy it just tasted like whatever flavor you had it dunked in. The fire fries were good. There weren't a ton of "good for you" options. I could see this being popular in the area but it's not for us. read more

I am extremely disappointed with my experience. My friend consumed food from this establishment the day prior to its official opening and the chicken wings lacked crispiness, instead having a gummy texture. The pizza was overcooked, lacked flavor, and had a burnt crust. On opening day, we waited in line for two hours, only to be let down. The operation was disorganized and the staff displayed rude behavior. It would have been better to provide a headcount for the first 100 people to inform those waiting in line whether they would receive a complimentary pizza box gift. The news announcement failed to mention that dining in was a requirement to receive this gift. Unfortunately, many individuals were upset and chose not to dine in. Upon reaching the front of the line, we inquired about our number and were met with rudeness by the staff, who directed us to inquire with another staff member. Both staff members said they don't know any information about the numbers. We were then informed that we needed to dine in to receive the pizza box and were advised to put our name and number into the system, which indicated a one-hour wait. After the hour had passed, we were told by two rude lady's that the pizza box gifts were no longer available, as they had been distributed to the first 100 patrons. I suggested that a headcount could have been taken to inform people waiting in line. I honestly dont believe they even had 100 pizza boxes, they just wanted the business! There was elderly people waiting in line just to be let down. They told people they had to wait in there cars if they wanted to dine in. Some people did not want to dine in due to work commitments and had planned to return later in the week. I believe that the establishment lost significant business due to their handling of this promotion!!! read more

Food was great I ordered the California chicken with fries and for an appetizer I go the chorizo queso everything tasted amazing. When I got the chicken I bit into it and it was rubbery and I let my server know, she took it back and had it remade and took it off the bill for me. Once I had the remade chicken it was delicious. The ambiance busy and loud but enjoyable. read more

My husband and I went the first few days after their opening. It was a bit chaotic in there because all of Fort Wayne was eager to try the new place. Also the servers were still learning the ends and outs. Everyone was still very pleasant and I thoroughly enjoyed the food. We got burgers and they were delicious! Best burger I've had in a very long time. Also got the wings as an appetizer and I LOVED the wings. They're not breaded and freshly made. No freezer wings. The skin was crispy, meat tender & flavorful. You won't go wrong with their signature burgers & wings! read more

So my sister called and got on the waitlist at 5pm. Was given 1h29m-1h39m long wait. Okay. All arrived before 6:30. Got to sit down at 7:15pm. We had a party of 12 so it was two booths by the front door. Sat all the kids at one booth and all the adults at the other. Kids table got their drinks order quick. Then food ordered before our waitress would take our drink order. Finally did our drinks and food at the same time. Basically our kids were done eating by the time we got our food. I believe our kids waitress was better than ours. The food was good. A steak had to be re-grilled due to being overcooked. Everything tasted pretty. My family is currently trying to stick to only scratch made restaurants and all 5 of our party loved their food. No one else complained. The problem is the service. We finally got out of there at 8:51! Also my sister never even got her birthday dessert. I reminded her at 8:30, and my sister wanted to leave so bad she said she'd get it to go, and they had the audacity to tell us she had to eat it there. That seems atrocious to me... given you made our dinner experience completely crap due only to service! And only the adults table service! Wish I had gotten the names of the waitresses. But you won't stretch on this one rule even though between the three groups we paid about $300! Ok. Make it make sense. They apparently need more training. Or time to get better. But don't expect good service. Definitely don't take a party there. A small family would probably do just fine though. It's also loud like TRH. Can't we get a fund restaurant without all the noise?! read more

We went here Saturday night. It was crazy busy but that didn't affect our meal. Our server was very helpful and made sure she checked on us often. The food was good and service was great.

Food was excellent! Service was excellent! I will return! I had the shrimp po boy and loaded tots!

I really want to like Bubba's 33 but the six times I have been there weren't great. I went today and ordered the fish and chips. It came with slaw. Food came out and fish was hot and delicious and the fries were room temperature. I asked if I could get hot fries and the server made me take everything off the plate onto an appetizer plate so he could return the fries. I had finished my fish and slaw when he showed up with fries that were barely warm. Same thing happened last time i was there but I said nothing. So it seems that their servers don't really care and they are unable to serve hot fries! After the server (who did not serve my food) took my order, never checked on me again. read more

We had bar rail seating for 5 diners. Two diners got there early and saved seats. I got there last. Water glass was there saving spot although there were many open seats available. All others in party had drinks and menu. I sat for 2 or so minutes as bartender walked past. I finally had to ask if I could get a drink, just beer, also other than water. She didnt look overjoyed that I asked her. Got my drink and still no food menu. Had to specifically ask for a menu also. Next bartender came by and I asked her if they carry all style of alcohol shots which she said they do. Asked for a Florida Tea which is a green Tea shot except with Orange Jameson. She didnt know what was in it. Asked the other bartender who didnt either. I said it has Orange Jameson which she then said that they didnt have that. I said i'll take a Nutty russian which has Screwball in it, they dont have Screwball either!! I then just decided to give up and have beer which they have, but the varieties are really basic. Got the nachos, nothing to write home about, pretty plain. Went there to watch the Indiana/MSU basketball game and asked if they could turn up the volume so we could hear the game play-by-play. She had to ask the manager and he said no. The only thing in my opinion that they have going for them is its a new Bar in town. I don't foresee myself going back. Plenty of other Sports style bars in town with better service, much better beer (craft style) options and you can listen to the games, not just the canned music. read more

Bad service, good food, long wait, not going back! There was an ant running across the table when they served our appetizers. Its winter time, how does that even happen? Our server forgot to take our order after our appetizers. We had to ask for our drink glasses and our appetizer dishes to be cleared when we finally did get our server to take our dinner order. That was after our food was servered and they forgot the dipping sauce for the chicken tenders. Our server was nowhere in site and we had a manager ask us how thing were going at this time it was halfway through the meal. This was my husband's Birthday dinner and he had been wanting to go here since it opened. I was very disappointed., as was he. This was a long wait even after being on the wait list we spent a good amount of money here between drinks and our meals and appetizers. For bad service, and an ant running across our table in winter time. I will not be going back. read more

I went to this restaurant on the day after grand opening for a late lunch. We were seated fairly quickly for a party of 4. The decor would be what you would expect for a typical sports bar. I ordered a bacon guacamole burger. It was excellent. My parents ordered a Veggie pizza which I tried also and actually liked it considering I usually would have meat on my pizza. The pizza sauce had a nice flavor and the crust was to my liking. My friend ordered a ribeye and he said it was cooked perfectly and that he preferred their seasoning compared to Texas Roadhouse. I also ordered a cucumber mint sour cocktail that was delicious, expertly mixed and did not have a long wait for it. read more
