    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.

    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.

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

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

    Went in right when they cracked the doors for happy hour, like we were afraid they might run out of…read morebarstools. Tried to order three different beers, and every one of them was "not available today," which is restaurant talk for "the truck's late and so are we." Artie the bartender just gave this little shoulder shrug that said, "Partner, I don't make the rules, I just open the bottles." The place itself helped the afternoon along. The building is laid out so you can see just about everything from your stool: bar, tables, who's coming in the door, and whether your food is on its way. Sightlines were wide open, nothing cluttered or cramped, and the whole joint looked super clean, like somebody actually cares what it looks like before the crowd shows up. So we did what any sensible, thirsty people would do: picked two other beers, ordered some apps, and decided not to take life--or the tap list--too seriously. The beer we got was cold, the food was hot, and Artie turned out to be the kind of bartender you come back to see more than you come back for the menu. We'll be back, too. Lewis would've gotten a whole column out of that shrug. The food was excellent, too. The fish bites alone just about made the afternoon; if the beer list had completely fallen apart, we still would've called it a win on those.

    During my time in Charleston, SC, I learned that having oysters at the new year was supposed to be…read moregood luck. Since learning that, we have made our own oyster tradition and seek to have them in January because it can't hurt! I saw that Port Oysteria was participating in FXBG restaurant week which is happening now and thought it was a great opportunity for us to try someplace new and get our oysters. While we did not order anything from the restaurant week specials (there was only one at lunch, and a couple more after 3pm) my wife and I did enjoy a nice lunch today. The chargrilled oysters were just right for us to share as a starter and very tasty. My wife had the fried oyster po-boy and I had the blackened grouper sandwich; both were delicious. The coleslaw was good as was the Parmesan mashed potatoes. There is a good beer selection on tap and an interesting cocktail list. Our first beer choice was out, but our backup choices were good. Service was good but the restaurant was not very busy. The atmosphere is interesting with moody, dark painted walls and bold murals and a mix of '90s grunge and alt-pop music in the background. We definitely want to go back for dinner sometime and try more of the menu.
