First, realize this is not fine dining. The food is served on wax paper in plastic baskets. However, the food ranges from decent to surprisingly good. Sometimes they skimp on lettuce and tomato for the sandwiches and the food seems like it is thrown together quickly - which it is. Drinks are reasonable. You get a view of the ocean from the balcony and service is usually quick. The food is good for what the place is - cheap, decent and near the beach. By the way, it is a Divine Group restaurant so it feels a little chain-ish, but all told it is worth a trip if you are nearby. read more

Good food, good service. Couldn't eat it all. We visit every time we come to the beach.

I love Bubba's! Whenever I'm in Surfside, I have to stop here at least once. Their fried green tomatoes are awesome. I'm not usually a fan of southern style, fry everything seafood, but their catfish is amazing; my favorite item on the menu. The prices are pretty reasonable for a tourist town and the service us typically friendly and fast. read more

I was little nervous about this place but boy, was this place a gem. I have gone twice this year and the food and service was exceptional both times. I have tried and really liked the fried calamari, green tomatoes, pickles and wings. The sweet tea is the thing to get drink. My absolute favorite dinner is the Grilled chicken salad. It's enormous and delicious. Cannot recommend this place enough. Do not forget to leave your mark, literally. Before you go, many a patron have signed their name in the waiting area. It's a must stop for both my in laws and family. read more

Great service! We went for lunch and got the calamari it come with pepper sauce, Yum! The blacked grouper sandwich, and popcorn shrimp (wish I order the regular shrimp instead) but all tasted great read more

Food and service was both good, but with that "fast food" quality. Portions were good and the price was average. Needed to eat , was not impressed! read more

Great food, affordable prices! We visit the beach often because we have a vacation home there. While we love to go to the seafood buffets, they can be extremely overpriced! Bubba's is the type of place regulars keep secret! It is close to the beach with a great menu spanning everything from flounder to po'boys to wings! The food is fresh and seasoned well. This is the place to go when you want seafood without breaking the bank on a 30$ buffet! Good to know: the restaurant is upstairs, so if you or a loved one can't walk up a flight, consider ordering ahead and getting it to-go. read more

I was so glad we left the typical $30 buffet place and went for Bubba's! The waitress was great, food was delicious, and reasonably priced! We enjoyed the fried pickles (so delicious), a giant portion of shrimp which were fresh and tasty. Would highly recommend. Wait time was reasonable as well given that it was a holiday week. read more

Seafood was out of this world good!!! Not that greasy fried junk you get from Long John Silvers or Captain D's, but good ol' fried fish with excellent fries and hush puppies!! Kid friendly $5.49 per kid meal!!! I had the Captains Fried Platter, $23.99 and you pick 4 out of 7 of their signature entrees. Completely worth the price!! Family of 5, total bill including tip, $67.54!! Recommend eating on outside porch for bigger groups!! read more

The rustic decor suits the shack name, the servers were exceptional, food was best kind of average. Fried battered fish was not as crisp, rather soggy., so were the fries. Not spacious, The place felt bit stuffy..overall was A ok.. read more

Unique dining experience. Ocean view and metal trays plastic cups and forks. Food was delicious but bar was very limited. No draft beer and only a few choices of bottled beer. Seemed to be out of a lot. 1 type of red wine really ??! Sat outside. We had the BarB Q but fan favorite seemed to be all you can eat catfish. read more

Just left. Hubby had the all you can eat catfish and loved it. I had the crab cake sandwich. Lots of food. Hillbillies are yummy, very cute decor and Bri our server was fabulous. read more

This place has been a staple for our family vacations the last 10 years, never again. Went tonight and the brunette bartender was probably the rudest individual I have ever encountered. We attempted to overlook her awesome demeanor but then she yelled at another patron for simply asking for salt. Don't waste your time or money, there are several other establishments in the area. read more

Mediocre. None of the fish is local. Our server apologized for the slowness as he said they only had half the staff the night we were there. I am sorry but I could only manage half the tip because of that. Unlikely to go back. read more

Fried Seafood @ its Finest! Bless the Batter, baby!

Best fried food place in the area. The only complaint I have is $4 corona . The wait staff is great and the food is awesome fried goodness even if you normally avoid fried foods make this your cheat day! Get it in and run an extra mile :) read more

Delicious! We came here while on vacation, our first night. A tiny wait for our table but well worth it. Calamari and catfish were amazing.

Bubba's Fish Shack is a cool little fish house that would be on the beach if not for some vacation rental home in the way. The food was great! The raw oysters were some of the biggest and best I had ever eaten. I had blacked grouper it was good, next time I would get it deep fried. My wife had a flounder sandwich with fried green tomatoes it is worth every penny. Bubba's has a really good vibe and the waitress we had was so friendly and attentive. Give it a try, I don't think you will be disappointed. read more

All the food is extremely salty. Great signature cocktails at only $6 apiece with a very generous pour.

We come to surfside every 4th of July. Bubba's is one of places we go every year because it is close and has great food. This is a great local place that has great atmosphere. They have really good burgers and fish. My favorite thing to get at Bubba's is the fried catfish. Just one piece of catfish is plenty of food for me. The fish is so good. I also really enjoy the hush puppies in their amazing honey butter. Here's a little secret; the sauce that come with the fried green tomatoes is great on their French fries(your welcome).If your ever in the area you need to stop at Bubba's and enjoy great food and great service read more

Great restaurant with great food and our server Kim was amazing. Came Memorial Day weekend and it was a great experience. Highly recommend.

Another part of the corporate chain that monopolized the coastline. More uninterested, uninformed servers. We actually left after being served gross oysters. Every table was being apologized to by their servers for the wait on food. The restaurant was half full. Save your money and go to Picked Cucumber on Surfside read more

My family and I go here almost every time we vacation in Myrtle. Family friendly and great food. Service was kind of off this week, but maybe she was having an off-day. Overall- great place. read more

Excellent oysters, tasty chowder, cold beer, super friendly staff, what more can you ask for? Oh yeah, it's right across from the Surfside pier. read more

The view is OK. The place is a bit cozy and a bit filthy but not too bad. The food was meh and the prices are a bit unjustified for meh food. However, I like the swings below the restaurant. read more

A good place to check out when your visiting here. The wait is a little long to not only get a table but also food. But it was expected and worth it. The calamari and push puppies were awesome! read more

Amazing local food! The service was great and we had a great experience. They were out of one item but honored the price and replaced it without question. The hush puppies and sweet potato fries were worth it! read more

This is probably one of the worst restaurants I have experienced in the Myrtle beach area. First, I ordered a half dozen oysters and I received 5 and one empty shell.... Second, my entree arrived and it was not complete.... To top it off, the clam strips I ordered were extremely undercooked leaving the breading the consistency of pancake batter which is unacceptable. read more

Second time visiting. My mom and I both had the crab cake platter, which was delicious! It was served with a Cajun mayo that was great on the crab cakes, coleslaw, fries, and dense, sweet hush puppies. The atmosphere is pleasant, the staff friendly, and the prices very reasonable for seafood. Outside under the deck are a series of porch swings to sit on while you wait for your table. They were all full when we got there, so we sat on the log fence by the road instead. There was a nice breeze coming off the ocean and it was all in all a good, relaxing night. read more

I love this place! It's a must every time we visit Myrtle Beach area. The servings are HUGE too so definitely worth the money.

Almost all the food was fried, but their seafood was fresh, their staff was friendly, and everything came out quickly. Their fried green tomatoes were excellent! read more

Excellent! 0yster's were so fresher, seemed as if they just came out of the water. Blackened fish superb! Great place!

Visited here about a week ago, the food was really solid. The hush puppies were awesome along with the grilled fish flounder I had as well. Overall reasonable price and not to packed with tourist. read more

This place was very good. Nice basic seafood selection on the menu. Seafood was very fresh. Great atmosphere.

We were a bit turned off when we realized that the place was actually a bit farther away from the ocean than we thought. Another downside was that they did not have draft beer. After overcoming those setbacks, my wife had the fried oysters and I had the flounder sandwich. Both were good, but not amazing. read more

We travel to Surfside regularly and were so excited to finally try this for the first time. Trying to get a smile on our waitress was near impossible. The waitress brought the kids meal with fries instead of the applesauce we ordered, and my flounder sandwich w fries instead of the sweet potato fries I'd ordered. She also forgot the lemonade my son's kids meal came with. So many mistakes on a very simple order... The food was ok, but not great. read more

Went here because we saw the lines out front & assumed it was great because of its popularity. It wasn't anything special though, so go somewhere with no lines. Food took a while, making me think it's going to be fresh & hot, but again I was wrong. Service was friendly, but slow. In total, it's average, but if you're on vacation, don't waste a meal here. read more

We went to Bubba's on the 9th of September. I ordered the barbque platter and my husband ordered the clam platter. There was enough food on one platter for two. Mine came with fries baked beans slaw and hush puppies. It was all so good. We can't wait to go back. The waitress was on top of everything. Do yourself and favor and eat there. read more

My family and I have been going to Bubbas for years! Just went there the other night and got really yummy food! They were busy but we didn't have to wait too long for a table. I got a crab cake sandwich, amazing! The best I think I've had! My husband got the shrimp basket and he loved it! We will definitely be back again! read more

Stopped in today for cocktail and lunch. Skip the house salad unless iceberg lettuce is your jam. Peel and eat shrimp were great, seasoned perfectly and married well with my Madras cocktail. Servers were attentive. Prices were as expected. read more
