Out in the middle of nowhere, Seadrift, Texas, is where you can find this hidden gem. It's a large dining area, with a fun little bar with many of the locals that will tell you all the stories about Seadrift. We started out with Boudin Balls, which were a deep fried blend of rice and spicy sausage, they were delicious! We then ordered a Bubbas Boil with extra crab; three kinds: Dungeness, Snow, and Alaskan King Crab, sooooo good! We ordered our boil with the medium heat, and it was perfect. If you come here, make sure you come hungry, because they serve A LOT of food! read more

Went there today for lunch. We arrived about noon. We didn't get our food on the table until after 115. The service was OK but not good to wait that long people came and went finished a meal while we were there. The food was. Marginally good. Thank you. read more

I came here with family. Audrey was an amazing server and we had a really good time. Especially loved the Boudin Balls! The painted stain glass windows were really nice with the sun going down. 5/5 experience! read more

Great food great service... the chicken fried steak is monstrous must try... can feed an army lol well I couldn't finish it .

This is the easiest review I think I can ever wrote...THIS PLACE IS DELICIOUS! I was recently in Port Lavaca and wanted some awesome seafood. I was recommended this place by many locals. I doubled checked Yelp and y'all Yelpers confirmed it to be good with your reviews. So my hubs and I drove 30 minutes to Seadrift to check out Bubba's and we are so glad we did! The food is legit. It's nothing fancy but it gets the job done. You will love the food if you like seafood! On our visit, I tried the blackened grilled shrimp with a baked potato and a side salad. The shrimp were marvelous! Jammed packed with flavor and a huge helping. The baked potato that came was huge as well. I was full half way through but we didn't have a way to take the food for later, so I had to suck it up and pig out to finish all of those shrimp. They were way too good to let them go. It's ok though, I was prepared and wore stretchy pants! The hubs got the blackened redfish with broccoli (he's a weirdo, what can I say) and a side salad. His fish was cooked perfectly and it was seasoned just right. If I'm ever in the area again, I will be at Bubba's in a heartbeat. I'm still thinking about those shrimp! Yum! read more

The crawfish were cooked perfect, popped right out of the tail. Excellent service and a great atmosphere. Looking forward to eating here again!!! read more

Great place in this hidden little town. This place is worth the 10 minutes off Hwy 35 to go find. This is one of those hidden gems that are missed by thousands of travelers on the Highway that have no idea this town or much less this restaurant exist. Great boiled shrimp, sausage, corn and potatoes. We all had the lunch boil and it was great. Seasoned up just right. Nice lunch meal for a reasonable price. They have a lot of things from burgers to seafood on the menu. I plan on going back just to see what else is good. Good job Bubba Whoever you are. Great wait staff very friendly and helpful read more

WOW we come down to the bay area perty often to fish and spend weekends.

I recommend if you are ever in the area make this the place to stop I know we will from now on. read more

Amazing fresh seafood boils. I got the shrimp and crab. Even though I skipped breakfast, I barely fished. Fresh, flavorful and spicy - just what you expect read more

BEST place to get boiled shrimp anywhere on the Tx Coast! If you aren't into seafood, get the cheeseburger, it is a total banger. The most authentic atmosphere and people, truly an experience you can't get enough of. read more

Came here for lunch on the way to sight see in Port Lavaca. I got the shrimp and crawfish boil. It was wonderful. Well seasoned and the sausage was probably the best sausage in a boil I've ever tasted outside of Louisiana. We also tried the blackened mahi mahi and it was great also. The boudin balls were cooked so crispy and still moist on the inside. Started the day off so good stopping here read more

I cannot say enough about this joint! Let me start with this: I don't eat seafood. I just don't like it. BUT since, my family does, and we were by the coast, we decided to go on in and try it. It was amazing. I even ate shrimp & crawfish off my husband's "plate" and they were good. I am addicted to the boudin balls. Seriously. If you are in the area this is a "must eat at place". Our waitress was great, and the other staff friendly. We can't wait to come back again and again to eat here. read more

the best food around, they have the best service around, and it's a great environment inside.

Had the Smoked Oyster appetizer (smoked oysters covered with very spicey melted cheddar cheese) andfried seafood platter (fish, shrimp and oysters) with vegetable medley and sweet tea. The appetizer was a little too spicey for me but the oysters were fresh and delicious. Next time Oysters Rockefeller (without spicey cheese). Fried seafood platter was delicious. And the seafood sauce, tarter sauce was perfectly wonderful. read more

First let me say I'm from south Louisiana so I know good Cajun food .. I'm in town working for a bit so on my day off I decided to try this place . So me my girlfriend get there and we found a seat . It took about 20 minutes for our waitress Brenda to take our drink order from the start I could tell Brenda wasn't having a good day . She was very curt in her demeanor. So my girlfriend had the chicken fried steak and it's was very good considering it had instant gravy on it . I had the stuffed shrimp platter it came with 4 small stuffed shrimp and a luke warm baked potato. I had to order a stuffed crab to make it a full meal My platter was very bland and very small . Don't know if will return read more

We always get the Captains boil and we are never disappointed. Reasonably priced and the beer is cold. read more

Bubba's Seafood - Butter and crab legs. Yum. - Seafood Near Me - Seadrift, Texas

Always a great place to get crawfish or shrimp platter. I would label Bubba's a "hole in the wall" that you'd definitely enjoy. No need to get dressed up, it's casual laid back atmosphere. You can bring your own catch I believe. Castaways shrimp boil is a favorite. Their combo plates are good portions too. They have a bar area with TV and a small buffet option. read more

Again visiting family in the area, we came again to Bubba's. I know to not get tap water as there's something funky THERE...but for the first time got a burger. I know..."a burger at a seafood spot?"....was in the mood! NOT disappointing at ALL. It's a big helping of some of the tastiest burger beef you'll ever try! WOW! Again with the onion rings...my blood pressure is taking a toll...but I'm not regretting it. Big burger heaven in an unexpected location! read more

Food is great. A bit of a wait but the ambulance makes up for it. If you don't like seafood They have an AWESOME BURGER

Best shrimp we've had in some time. Staff was very friendly and responsive to patrons. Definitely going back before leaving the area even though it's an hour drive...so worth it. One negative..bathrooms need updating (this won't keep me away)! read more

One star because I had driven to the area to do some beach camping and after reading some reviews wanted to stop in for a meal,.....and they were closed (according to my phone app),....Booo. read more

Refreshing to see a seafood place serve redfish instead of talapia which has no taste. Great fried fish or the boil pots. Fast and friendly service...I'll certainly be back. read more

A new spot for us. It was great food a a good price. Friendly service. Fish was great. Will go back if we get close again.

In town for a short fishing trip. After eating at Bubba's the first night, we returned instead of testing another restaurant in Port O'Connor. The owner obviously invested in the kitchen staff. We had crab stuffed jalapeños, gumbo, fried oysters, fried redfish fillets, and the grilled broccoli over the two nights. Everything was great. Friendly staff. Highly recommend. read more

We have passed this place hundreds of times and decided finally to stop. What a disappointment. Thinking Cajun, I thought we would be be in for a treat. Menu looks good but missing any Cajun element you might expect. Ordered oysters to start. But no oysters. Settled for calamari and not a good choice. Obviously not fresh and a frozen, store bought item. Decided on crawfish but no crawfish. Surprisingly they did not have have half of their menu. Next try was grilled shrimp. Sounded good and figured I couldn't go wrong being at the coast and all. When the plate came out all I could do was laugh. I have never in my life seen this before but they pan fry what seems like frozen cocktail / popcorn shrimp plop it on a plate next to a baked potato and there you have their rendition of a $15 grilled shrimp plate. Now my wife decided on the fried fish plate again thinking we're at the coast and fresh fish has to be on the menu. But nope, catfish is the only fish at this place. When the fish came the batter was different, really thick but edible. We just expected a light batter to compliment a flakey fish like catfish but wound up more like a chicken fried catfish it was good but just was not expecting it. Still baffled where the Cajun came in here but when we finally got up to leave I noticed a shaker on the table which appeared to be like a Cajun Shake of some sort but too little too late. Final bill was $57 with only teas to drink. My conclusion is I will stick with another sea food Resteraunt nearby and not go back to Bubba's. Upon checking out as the cashier asked how everything was and I said it was interesting ..... And that was that. By the way they do have alcohol the people next to us ordered a bottle of wine and at $40 a bottle I'll stick to tea. read more

This is our first time to eat here and we drove 2 hours from Kenedy and I have to say, it was well worth the drive! The catfish and shrimp were excellent I have to brag the grilled broccoli was delicious Definitely a place I would recommend for awesome seafood read more

Found this on Yelp and decided to give it a try. Didn't really want fried everything, so opted for one of their 'boils'. Really really fresh shrimp and blue crab. VERY messy, but worth every slurp. Tried the onion rings to get a little 'fried' and they were yum. So, why 4 stars instead of 5? Service was erratic. Waited on immediately after seating, but then waiter disappeared. Took almost 15 minutes to get our check when leaving. Restaurant was really warm. Really warm. Almost to the point of unbearable, so hold out for a table under a vent that is actually blowing cool air. Bathrooms a little overmatched too. I normally wouldn't comment on physical attributes since it's the food I'm reviewing, particularly in a small place like Seadrift. But, these were enough of an anomaly to make me notice. I would definitely go back and maybe with a better idea of what to expect, I'd be a bit more forgiving! read more

The wife and I drove 20 miles from Port Lavaca to try this restaurant, we had our heart set on boiled seafood but decided to get the fried shrimp after finding out they boil the seafood and put the seasoned butter sauce on the outside of the seafood. They advertise Cajun style but this is not true Cajun style. The service was ok , my wife had fried shrimp and onion rings, shrimp had a strong iodine taste, I had stuffed shrimp and onion rings, the stuffing had very little crab meat . My wife did try one boiled crab. No flavor unless you lick your fingers. Wish places would stop advertising Cajun style if they have no clue. On a positive note, onion rings we're good and the bud light was cold read more

Amazing food, friendly staff, very accompanying. Even for me because I suffer from A severe form of Crohns after being in the military and civilian contractor working as a aeronautical field service engineer tech supervisor in a high stress testing and evaluation and major maintenance environment for 13 years. So I can't ever just go grab a bite. Definitely worth going out of your way to stop and get your grub on or have a specially prepared meal to your specifications if necessary. It was good to feel at home for a change wile I'm back In Texas waiting for my transplant to happen. Knowing I wouldn't pay a super heavy price for what was a great meal out for once was a godsend. Thank you to everyone who served me. Sincerely Jason, "aka Jack." read more

So I came back with my wife. They hit it out of the ball park with us. I ordered lb of shrimp with all the sides and extra sausage, and I ordered it spicy!. Man! It was good. They kept bringing me ice cold beers without me asking!!!! They're fried shrimp has to be the best fried shrimp I've eaten from a restaurant. Fresh! Two thumbs up! read more

Awesome, delicious food and great waitresses. Checked on us throughout the whole time we were there. My husband had the Castaway shrimp boil with no seasoning. It was enough for two that aren't big eaters. He said he was really hungry so I had the grilled shrimp and grilled vegetables since he didn't want to share. I'm glad I did. Awesome tasting grilled shrimp and veggies! Seasoning was just right for someone who needs milder than mild. Never tasted grilled shrimp so wonderful! Fresh tasting seafood! We had just driven from Victoria area to meet someone about a tractor and will make it a point to return. Hubby says maybe once a month. By the way, he needed a to go box. He couldn't eat all the shrimp by himself. read more
