I like the fisherman decor, the cashier was nice.There is 8 tables for seating.I wanted steamed shrimp but they only come in increments of 6, 8 or 12.These are the small, medium and large baskets. You get hush puppies, cole slaw or fries.I got the salmon over rice.While the flavor was there the rice being chunky, mushy and cold was very disappointing.The salmon was cold and topped with she crab soup and back fin blue crab.The fish & shrimp basket with fries was hot out the grease. The iced tea was good but they only have small cups. read more

1st time visit after going to the nearby bank. Just bought a few shrimp baskets for lunch. Shrimp and hush puppies , although small in size and portions, were tasty. Was more of a snack than anything. Ordered at the kiosk instead of the counter. Order was ready in about 15 minutes. Going to have to try other menu options before recommending to others. read more

We decided to give Bubba's Shrimp Shack a try on a Friday for dinner. Tucked away in a small shopping plaza, I wondered how good it'd be but was determined to try it given the good reviews. The 'shack' has a few tables outside and some indoors as well. As soon as you walk in, there's a digital ordering station, or you can walk up to the counter and order. I felt bad about hogging the digital order station since I was unfamiliar with their menu. (It'd be great if they considered posting the menu on the wall so people can figure out what to order ahead of walking up to the counter or digital order station.) I settled on the shrimp and crab cake platter. I got my shrimp fried but you can get them steamed and with or without buffalo sauce. The crab cake was very good and a decent size (about 4 inches in diameter) and more like a flatter patty. The platter also came with two (small) hush puppies and sides of your choosing; I chose coleslaw and baked beans. Both sides were really tasty and definitely had that homemade taste. The baked beans had bits of bacon in them and were not too sweet. My companion had the steamed buffalo shrimp with pineapple coleslaw and mac and cheese (both at an extra charge). Overall, everything was really good. The sides were the perfect portion but I felt the amount of seafood itself was just under enough (only six small shrimp per order, for example). Despite this, taste and ambiance was good, so I'm sure we'll visit again in the future. Between the two platters, a fountain drink and the extra charge for two sides, we paid about $56. read more

Bubba's Shrimp Shack - Seafood Near Me - Fredericksburg, Virginia

My husband and I had dinner tonight at Bubba's and we enjoyed every single bite! This was not our first visit and are very happy each of our visits have been consistent. Bubba's is located in a small strip of shops that face Route 1 in Spotsylvania. There is a vape shop to the right and the Navy credit union anchoring the left end. It is small but has inside seating including a room that would allow a larger group to sit together. The colors are bright orange and yellow. Nautical decor is on the wall and even hanging from the ceiling. Judging from what we observed this evening and on past visits, they do a booming carry out business. Service is great. You place your order and the counter and are given a number. They deliver your food to you as soon as it is ready. Now for the food! Hot perfectly cooked fries accompanied 7 large, sweet , tender very lightly battered fried shrimp in the medium shrimp baskets we ordered. Each basket came with 2 delicious hushpuppies. They were golden brown,with a crispy exterior and not greasy. I love the corn you see when you bite them. The shrimp basket was served with 3 sauces - cocktail, tarter and Bubba's sauce. I always go for Bubba's. It is a slightly spicy creamy sauce that really kicks it up a notch. The shrimp basket hit the spot for us tonight. We were happy and full. They have many other options and sides. I also LOVE their crab soup. It is rich, creamy and loaded with crab. I lived in South Carolina for years and Bubba's crab soup is as good if not better that those I had in Charleston. read more

First of all, most importantly, the food is amazing!!!It's mostly fried and with that being said I don't eat fried food often but if I'm gonna eat fried food or fried seafood, let's say it would be at Bubba's because the breading is light and whatever the oil is they use, I think it's canola is very light and it's absolutely scrumdiddlyumptious!. Secondly the service is outstanding and ambience is pleasant!!! I have only tried the food in Fredericksburg , since that is the closest to me, but with that being said, I would like to go to the other locations and give them a try. Keep up the good work, Bubbas! read more

First few visits (pick up) orders were great and the customer service also and the food was well seasoned (very tasty and decently priced. However the last few visits resulted in either having to go back into the store to get my order corrected, and literally receiving fried crumbs for oysters, also noticed a change in customer service (friendliness). May or may not try again later. read more

This is definitely a hidden gem! The shrimp tacos are so delicious and fresh tasting! The sauce made my eye twinkle! I enjoyed my entire meal! The service team was great & the owner stopped by with a smile too! Looking forward to returning read more

Can't wait to get back to Bubba's. I went last month for the 1st time & was very impressed with the service & food. Shrimp are big & price is great. It was holiday time & everywhere was packed. They weren't. I guess it's still a secret. Though I hope they continue to do well bc there aren't any other good seafood restaurants around here. Give it a try. read more

Quaint place with a few tables with additional seating outside. Not crazy about the Mac & Cheese. The Bubba Sauce was really good with the fries. The service was great. You place your order at the register, get a number to take to your table and your food is brought to you. The Seafood is ok, not great but a wonderful lunch deal. Will I return? Probably. read more

What a delicious meal. The hostess coaxed me into trying the catfish (called swai) and it was fantastic. My husband and I shared the shrimp and fish combo and it was plenty enough to feed both of us. Also everyone there was friendly and polite, which goes a long way with us. read more

Everything we've tried has been very good. The staff members are also very friendly and knowledgeable- the service has always been great.

Walked in and was welcomed by the owner, and whole experience stayed fantastic from there. He was super friendly and helpful in suggesting food to get and helped out explaining the lunch specials. I got the fish and chips and wow it is good. Highly highly recommend popping in for some damn good seafood. read more

my 1st time visiting and I WILL not go back!! omggg, wasted my $25‍ my blue catfish sandwich was horrible! fish not seasoned at allll, not a pinch of salt nor pepper! lettuce seemed old, no crunch nothing...my fried okra was literally overcooked...a few burnt pieces...not worth $25 read more

Great services even though short handed. Food was ready to pickup and on time they said would be ready. Took home and it was hot delicious and everything that we wanted. yummy. read more

You could improve the cashier that served me, attitude. I know that the food is good, but your cashier gave me the feeling when I gave my order to her that I was bothering her from texting on her phone. I've been to both your Gloucester and Tappahannock locations and I was never treated like the way I was treated tonight. I don't think I will be coming back as long as you have cashiers like her. I'll go to Fish N Grill. read more

The BEST Shrimp Corn Chowder I ever had. Been there three times and there was always customers eating and some waiting in line. As best as I can see every seafood item is cooked to order.NOTHING sitting in a warmer. ITS WORTH THE WAIT!!! read more

I came in after a long 13-hour shift at work based on a coworker's recommendation. On 5/20/2025, the young man who took my order was very impatient and almost did not want to take my order. I asked if he was okay and if it was a problem for me to order that I could go elsewhere. I hope the food lives up to its good quality. Staff could use some etiquette skills in customer service and in how to treat the clients. read more

Took over 45 minutes to get orders, waited 30 minutes before they told me they were out of certain food, then lied about calling us and leaving a message. read more

I had to flounder shrimp sandwich and it was very tasty. The service was outstanding there and will go again.

My wife and I stopped by for lunch on the way to DC. We had a wonderful time. The lunch portion and price were perfect, we left well sated. The food was cooked beautifully and fresh for our order. The hushpuppies, fries, and shrimp were delicious and perfectly seasoned, and the Bubba's Sauce went well with everything. The staff were all friendly, and the whole place had a welcoming atmosphere. We will definitely be back the next chance we get! read more

The food was tasty, it was a delivery so the substance and service I cannot rate. Door dash delivery was impressive.

Me and my boyfriend went here for a late dinner and everything was very good. Good portions, well-seasoned, yummy house sauce and great hospitality. Not a long wait time for the food either! read more
