Very kids friendly. My two year old was fascinated by the decor inside ( a lot of fish!) and was also given crayons to draw on the very interesting table paper. We ordered the fried catfish (3 of them!) and blacked mahi. I loved the fried catfish but the mahi was a little too chewy for me. A lot of options and you will always find your favorites here. read more

We came late right before close but the staff was still so nice and didn't rush us at all. The blackened Mahi was superb!! Great location and great food you can't go wrong! read more

Really gone down hill. Grouper could not be found in sandwich. I've eaten here for years and sandwich was always a meal. Now just bread. Bad service at bar. Bartender said she's just too busy. Ok. Won't be back. They are now used to one-time customers called tourists. I'll go to Dagwoods or inlets for a fish sandwich. read more

We have been waiting for this place to open for quite some time now and finally we had the opportunity after an appointment to stop in for lunch. There were too many of my favorite things on the menu including blackened grouper and the fried shrimp po-boy, however, I opted for Bubba's house pulled pork. It was only 11 AM so I wasn't that hungry and my friend enjoyed the Bubbas famous fried flounder. It seems they smoke the brisket in the separate barbecue room which was visible to patrons, was pretty impressive . Awesome mac & cheese was my guilty pleasure for the day! Having to cut back on the fried food to keep that girlish figure, I truly wanted to order that fried flounder sandwich, it sure did look good. I also had to skip the hush puppies as well but my friend said they were awesome. Good job serving up that down home coastal cookin' Bubba! read more

I gave 2 stars only because the food was mostly fine. Waited OVER an hour for a takeout order of a salad, sandwich, and cheeseburger. The bartender was incredibly slow and clearly didn't care about her patrons. The couple next to me were late for their show. They ordered after me and still ate and left before I got my food. Yes it was a Friday night and busy but the bartender was hardly busy, virtually no drink orders. So disappointing as this place was recommended to us for our last night's meal as we packed up after a great week at the beach. Instead I got to wait an hour at the bar and watch the 16 year old busser sitting in the kitchen pick his nose and play with his boogers. Just awful, I've never experienced such poor service. read more

The food was fried perfectly and the customer service was excellent. I will definitely eat here daily on my next trip to Myrtle Beach.

Excellent food at fair prices and wonderful service. A cool place with great beach ambiance! One of our favorites in Myrtle Beach.

Upping my review to a 5 cause I'm wondering as I eat here today why I never gave it a 5. It's just so delicious and consistent and the people are always friendly. Today my husband and I just wanted a light lunch and we stopped for a couple of drinks and some fried grouper fingers and calamari. First of all they are both lightly breaded and fried. Not heavy, not overly greasy, delish. Second the sauces. The sauce with the grouper was like a horseradish mustard maybe and it was soo good and the jalapeño jelly with the calamari was spicy and such a good pairing. I had a Tito's cocktail which was yummy and all in all just really enjoyed our meal. I also like that they have paper table covers and paper towels at the table for an easy clean meal. Yum! read more

Bubba's was a welcome reprieve to a Thanksgiving week inside a beach house. With a crowd of 20 at about 2pm, we were very greatful they said to come on in and dine...the day before thanksgiving no less. The service was outstanding. Even with 20 people, and many of them children, a drink didn't go dry. We had a mixture of food across the menu from the AYCE catfish to Chicken tenders, shrimp, etc. All was outstanding, brought quickly, hot, crispy, and fresh. Will be back here next time we are in Surfside. read more

Food was excellent, our family shared hush puppies and Deep Fried Cheese Bites with ranch Dressing for an appetizer. The Big Ole Bubba Cheeseburger and fries. The burger was cooked perfectly and seasoned. Busy place with seating indoors and out, we chose indoors. The server we had was very friendly but we felt rushed the entire time we ate. We had the check delivered before we even finished our meal. She took our daughter's salad before she was finished and started piling trash on top so quickly we didn't even have a chance to stop her. She did offer to send a new salad home with us and tried to make the situation better. Definitely would eat here again, everyone has an off night, just hoping service will be better next visit. Love the decor! read more

Help wanted sign outside as of 10 April 2021. Shoulda known they'd be short-handed and subsequently slow af when it came to just about everything. On top of that, my mom got a shot of vodka that was abysmally short of the 1.5 ounce line. Worst part? There was a mf fly hanging around our table from the get-go. Not to say it was all bad. I like the atmosphere, and by all accounts the food was pretty good. The paper table cloth thing is set up so kids can color on it. read more

We are staying at Surfside Beach Hotel and this restaurant was walking distance from our place and we were so pleased with our choice to eat here for dinner. We went at 4:15 on a Friday night in June and were immediately sat with no wait. We ordered a popcorn shrimp basket and a platter with flounder and gulf shrimp and it was delivered to us SO QUICKLY! The food was fresh, hot, and delicious! Definitely recommend this spot for some good ole southern fried seafood! read more

The only good part of the experience was the semi-flat tonic in the gin and tonic. Oyster poboy had super salty remoulade, fries some were hard and warm and others were just room temperature - left them alone. Cole slaw was served room temp also so didn't eat it either. Have the impression that everything is cooked from frozen. Don't recommend and will not be back. read more

Awesome food not overly priced. Friendly staff who took care of our needs. Bartender was beyond awesome. Highly recommend

Fun friendly bar and grill. The beers are ice cold, and the food is hot, flavorful, and served with good size portions. The place I was going to go that night, closed early. So this was a last-minute substitution, and it was a good one. For my first time here I figured I get to Captain's Sampler - choice of four of the entrées. I came out with fries hush puppies and a small tasting of slaw. The blackened grouper and shrimp were out of this world. The fried oysters and clams were also very good read more

Great atmosphere, great food, terrific prices. Very near the beach with parking very nearby. Definitely a repeat!

It was not too pricey. The food was excellent and the atmosphere was casual I would go again

We stopped for an early dinner before our Sunset cruise! Our waiter was super sweet tho a bit overwhelmed with another large table but he was able to get all of our orders in quickly. The food runners got our salads and appetizers out in a timely fashion! The reservationists at the cruise shop recommended the chicken strips (not pictured) but they were amazing! I ordered the early dinner special of fried shrimp and a side of sweet potato waffle fries, which our waiter highly recommended! It came with a side salad (which was huge plenty of bacon, eggs and cheese) and a yummy croissant and I chose the house hot bacon dressing, super good! I got my entree but the food was not hot, I asked for hot fries and the assistant manger came with another plate full but still lukewarm if that. The shrimp were good but would have been better if hot. I want to go back for vibe (the band was setting up and they sounded great) and a hot meal! read more

We had dinner here today and the food and service was excellent! We received gift certificates from the IHG Resort at South Myrtle Beach. The waiter was so good and met our expectations 100 percent. Our dinner was served quickly and hot. Everyone should have the fried green tomatoes sooo good and the sauce was yummy! Nice to have good and fresh seafood. We will have to come back next visit to IHG Resort read more

In town for a weekend wedding, we arrived on Friday and after getting our room and setting in, I went to see what the seafood was about, as I walked up their stairs, there was a sign that read STOP to let customers know what food items they were out of, I thought that was genius! Well I won't be ordering crab cakes tonight, proceed up the stairs waiting at hostess stand and greeted to be seated and I explain I want to get a to go order the host stated that they had stopped to go orders at 9:15.. Ok no worries, so I come back the next day after wedding and reception food I ordered grouper fish basket and shrimp basket with no fries, let me tell you when the menu says a bunch of shrimp, they are not fibbing! Very pleased, me and my wife could not eat all this food!! read more

There was three big parties come in at one time and it took forever to get our food. I understand but at least keep our drink cups refilled while we have to wait. Once the food finally came out it all tasted ok (nothing to brag about) but they were out of coleslaw which was a disappointment. read more

Their online prices are different from in restaurant prices. Oysters were $10 more at the restaurant than online. Take that into consideration when ordering online or by phone.... read more

Been there many times. Always have had GREAT service and GREAT food!!!! We come here every time we're in Myrtle Beach.

Service was timely and good. Ambiance was good. Food wasn't fried enough. Too soggy. All in all a good experience

I tried the fried gulf shrimp platter and it was soooo good. Good service and really good food! read more

Bubba's Fish Shack - Gulf shrimp platter - Seafood Near Me - Surfside Beach, South Carolina

Good food! Lots of seafood options. very friendly, amazing staff! It's a smaller location so it does get loud inside when it's busy.

Cool looking place that has a nice water view from the porch. The food was average with nothing memorable. Service was decent. Great location! read more

The seafood was good, about what you would expect. If you have picky eaters who won't eat seafood, the only non-seafood option is chicken fingers. Typical prices for the region ($80-90 for a family of four). The wait was short to get a table and the food appeared at a reasonable time after ordering. The inside feels a little cramped and parking can be rough. There is only one small lot for parking designated for Bubba's. You have to scan a QR code and register and validate your parking to avoid getting a ticket. It's in Surfside Beach so you can find other spots to park if it's full. read more

Excellent food and service! We had the fisherman's platter and calamari. They were both excellent and fresh!

Shrimp was lukewarm. Fish sandwich was pretty good. Although my blackberry margarita was really weak.

Great food and service!! Large portions of flounder. Would recommend. Good atmosphere. Enjoyed our dinner with the family!!

Was about to pay for parking when an employee let us know we didn't have to pay after 7. Thanks for the tip! Cool atmoshphere! Came in at 7:00 on a Sunday night. It was slow but, as to be expected in the off season. Sat at the bar with Daniel! What a great guy. Super attentive made sure we had everything we needed and enjoyed our cocktails and meals! The food was good but we would come back just for Daniel! See you next time we are in town! read more

We had lunch here since it was right across from our hotel. We were pleasantly surprised with the yummy food, great service, good location. Would definitely recommend this place. read more

Food was good...beers were ice cold! Waiter was exceptional! Can't beat the view from the porch or inside! We will be back!

The food and service was excellent. Prices were very fair too. Catfish, flounder and blackened shrimp were all amazing. If going try an alcoholic beverage. The peach tea tasted just like peach tea. Went later at night but the seating and area looked good which you then wouldn't have a long wait. read more
