I'm convinced Bubba's 33 is actually a secret government experiment to see how much dopamine a…read morehuman can handle before they simply become one with the booth. We started with the fried cheese, which I can only describe as pure, unadulterated bliss. It's less of an appetizer and more of a spiritual experience. If you're looking for a sign to forget your diet, this is it--crispy, gooey, and likely the reason I'll be doing extra cardio until 2027. Then came the "33" pizza. I'm not entirely sure what the "33" stands for--maybe the number of minutes I spent in a silent trance while eating it? Whatever it is, it was incredible. Even the cheeseburger "slapped," according to my son, which in teenager-speak means it's better than anything I've ever cooked at home. (I'm not offended; I've had the burger, he's right.) The real kicker, though? The service. It legitimately rivals Chick-fil-A. I was half-expecting our server to hit me with a "My pleasure" and follow us home to make sure we tucked the leftovers in safely. It's rare to find a spot that handles a crowd with that kind of efficiency and genuine politeness. The Verdict Go for the pizza, stay for the cheese, and bask in the glory of people who actually seem happy to bring you ranch.

I used to come here weekly when I was pregnant and lived nearby for the all you can eat lunch special... well I am pregnant again and craving wings! The lunch special is still an amazing deal. I had 10 wings, a salad and fries for about the cost of a big mac meal-- that is crazy! I added on fried mushrooms and these are a MUST if you like real fried mushrooms. They tasted hand battered and were juicy and delicious. The wings, garlic and hot, were cooked well and sauced just right. I had great service and the manager came by to say hello and make sure I was enjoying my meal, as well. I am going to try to make another stop to treat myself to lunch again before my baby comes this month. Highly recommend a quick, tasty and affordable lunch at this spot.

There are seats at the bar, high tops, and tables, so just be patient and claim your place when one frees up. The servers will appreciate you. Our server, Makaya S. was amazing. She was friendly and attentive. We enjoyed our orders of traditional wings. My husband ordered his in Nashville Hot, but I opted for Mango Habanero for my flavor. Yummy! We shared fries, which were pretty good, just needed a little more salt. My husband really liked their sweet tea, but I enjoyed a refreshing Bold Rock Imperial Berry on draft! This sports bar & grill restaurant was busy, most likely due to the special on wings, but the arrival of our food orders to our table was so fast! Thanks to Buckets and your kitchen staff and notably quick servers for making Wednesday a great dining option for Chesapeake!

I liked that the staff made sure to address any questions and concerns with the menu before we ordered, but they would disrupt us with too many check-ins at our table, even when it was clear that we were deep in conversation and did not need anything. Would interrupt and take over our conversations at the table. I liked that there are different flavors available to try with the wings, but they only limit you to two of them. Very dim lighting that it is hard to read the menu, but I guess that it creates a more intimate atmosphere. Hard to take any nice photos. Mostly high tables and stools, which I do not prefer, but at least there is enough seating. Cool that there is even a pool table nearby if you want to do something else besides sit around and talk. Crazy good pricing here, though; could not believe my eyes!

Even though the restaurant was busy and full, it still somehow felt peaceful and comfortable, which made it the perfect spot for a solo lunch. Sometimes that balance is hard to find, but they pulled it off effortlessly. The food was excellent. I ordered the veggie garden burger, and everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. You can tell care goes into the food here, and the flavors definitely did not disappoint. I also want to mention the staff because the customer service was amazing. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made the experience feel genuinely enjoyable. Overall, this place was a 10/10 for me -- great food, great atmosphere, and great service. It's absolutely going on my list of must-visit spots anytime I'm back in the Norfolk area. Highly recommend for: * Solo lunch dates * Casual dining with a relaxed atmosphere * Fresh, flavorful food * Friendly service * A comfortable local spot with good energy

We also shared some Old Bay French fries which were very yummy. The service was great!
