There are quite a few positive attributes going for them. 1) great boneless wings...big and juicy 2) seasoned fries were delicious 3) staff was incredibly friendly 4) food was prepared quickly 5) chicken was still crispy after the ride home 6) the sauces my goodness were they fantastic I got the chicken and waffles sauce...it is cravable, more than just maple syrup That said there were a couple things I didn't like 1) the vanilla cornbread wasn't worth ordering again. It was dry and had an odd banana taste, almost like an artificial banana extract was added 2) I didn't like the packaging of my wings, sides of the box were messy, covered in sauce and difficult to eat out of 3) I also didn't like that the fries were thrown in with my sauced wings. Made them sloppy to eat

My daughter loved the burger and I loved the Rueben, I had it with coleslaw instead of sauerkraut. The Coleslaw set it off. The service was A+. The vibe was a louder crowd but to loud where it was annoying. You could hear yourself think and be able to hold a conversation with your party. Normally for a Bar and Grill with the bar that close to the diners, you don't think it would work for a family to sit and enjoy dinner but overall, the experience was amazing.

BTW... there were plenty of open tables in "the rush". No reason to have been so rude and a witch. Seriously! Amber gets 0 stars! I'd be SHOCKED if this is the first complaint about her.

Let's try to start this on a good note…read more Ambiance - it's a nice place, seems very clean. Very organized. Lots of electronic boards on the wall let you know exactly where you are as far as orders go. I'd give the ambiance a 4 out of 5. Service - been here a few times and I've never had to wait for my order more than 5 minutes. The employees are attentive, nice, and kick the food out pretty quick. I'd give the service 4.5 out of 5. And now... Food - I live wings and I've eaten them from just about everywhere that serves them. I ordered my typical order, 5 buffalo wings and 5 lemon pepper wings with a large fry. The wings, sadly just mediocre. They tasted heavily of fryer oil and the sauce was thin. It didn't stay on the product very well and almost tasted "thinned out". Buffalo wings you should really TASTE the sauce because that's the most important part, the flavor. The sauce didn't have any WOW impact. I'd give them a 2 out of 5. The lemon pepper wings I mostly tasted lemon. Very tart, not the flavor I am used to when eating lemon pepper wings. Again, the wings tasted heavily of fryer oil. When I was done eating my stomach felt off because of the oil taste. I'd give them a 2 out of 5. (Side note: the oil from the wings had seeped through the basket they were in, and through the bag onto my car seat. That's a lot of oil) The seasoned fries. This was my second time ordering them and it was the second time I hardly tasted any seasoning. If you're going to call them "seasoned fries" you should probably be able to taste the difference between a plain order of French fries and seasoned fries. The seasoning seemed rather non-existent. The fries were in fact hot, mostly still crispy when I got home. The homemade ranch really did save them though. I'd give the seasoned fries a 3 out of 5. In a bind, I'd order from there again if it was late and nothing else was open. But it's definitely not a place I'd drive past other wing places to get. There is better out there. Overall: I'd give it 2.5 out of 5

Bad Brad's quality is still top notch, and they must have great management as their servers have been over the top good at each location year after year. It's hard to not complain about pricing in 2026... Brisket (or "premium meats") being added to meals is $3.25 ABOVE the normal price, and they now have "premium sides", which are also served with an upcharge on top of the menu price... I get that there a lot of complexities at the moment, and I'm hopeful that prices will come down in short order as it's really hard to justify ALL of these extra costs. I figured it was a better value this time around to get the 1/2 Chicken and add sliced brisket; sides were mac & cheese and BBQ chowder. Despite my gripes about pricing, this was an exceptional meal!!! The brisket was great as always; not too fatty, not too dry and tender, with a great smoke flavor! Sides were great as always... that BBQ chowder gets me each time and the mac & cheese was HOT, very flavorful and just hit the spot as a perfect comfort food. I took the chicken home with some of the sauces and it was just great as well... Even after being reheated in the air fryer, it was tender and juicy with zero toughness/stringiness. It was a really nice smoked bird! GOOD BBQ is hard to find, but Bad Brad's is still doing it right, even after all of these years!

He went with "hot" and I ordered "extreme fire". He added fries and the crispy potato and mozzarella corn dog. I tried the corn dog and it was SO good! Everything was very high quality. It's important to note that the sandwich has slaw and pickles on top. It isn't listed in their menu, but we knew ahead of time because of the pictures. The extreme fire was definitely spicy, but not very extreme for someone who likes spice- so if you are a fan of spice, go for it. We look forward to going back. I would like to try the miso, dumplings, and more. Thank you!

The dining area is filled with TVs and the music is a bit louder, which honestly worked in our favor. It helped mask the occasional kid meltdown and kept everyone entertained. For the kids, we ordered two chicken nugget meals with fries and a kids' cheese pizza. The nuggets were a little on the peppery side for younger taste buds, so we ended up pulling some of the breading off--but overall still a decent option. My husband ordered the Sunshine Burger and I went with the classic cheeseburger. Since it was Monday, we took advantage of their $10.99 burger special, which made it an even better deal. Both burgers were surprisingly really good--we don't usually order burgers when dining out, but these were absolutely worth it. Overall, Bubba's 33 is a solid, family-friendly spot with good food and a laid-back atmosphere. We'd definitely recommend it, especially for an easy night out with kids.

Everyone enjoyed their food and the food sizing were perfect especially with the pricing (average pricing for bar food). I ordered a philly steak sub w/ seasoned fries and along with chips/spinach dip (that was a meal itself and it came with 2 breadsticks) - it was so good. What i did notice was my friend order a side salad for additional $1.99 but her friend ordered a salad as meal which cost about $15.00 - i would say they looked like the same size; so be aware. Plenty of parking! If i had to go back i'll definitely would but the distance from my house i wouldn't go out my way. There are ALOT of TVs with music videos and sports; you can barely hear the music playing which is good i guess especially since you want to be able to touch to your friends. Happy Eating!
