We never go to MB without going to Bubba's. You can not get better fried pickles and burgers anywhere else.

One of the best restaurants for sea food that I have ever dined in at the beach. The service was excellent, the food was delicious, (especially the grouper fingers). My son loves the place. We ate there three times in 2009, while there for the week. Will definately go back this year. My son talks about it constantly.

we are yearly visitors to myrtle beach and we have to go to bubba's while we are there. we stay in the area there so it is easy to just stop in for the famous pickle nickles!!!! we have order the clam strips basket, the bubba burger (its is alot of food), and the poor white trash salad is wonderful. i could just go on about how wonderful the food is, the waitress are very friendly and the service is great also. if you haven't been you really need to try it you will be hooked just like us!

read reviews online thought it would be a nice place to eat!!! WRONG - wanted to order fuzzy navel peach schnapps not available or an alternate, wanted to order whole belly clams not available just strips. french fries were of the frozen grocery store variety eg :(food lion, piggly wiggly) and not cooked enough. would not recommend this to friends or family. music was not of easy listening (c&w) waitress was not friendly or knowledgeable

My husband and I went on the advice of a friend and we loved it, I had the Shrimp Basket which was great, the shrimp was tender and not real crunchy, the hushpuppies were sweet and light, the coleslaw was crunchy with just the right spices, My husband had the Flounder Basket and he is not a big fish eater, but he raved about how good it was, we will go back on out next vacation, and may stay at Surfside Beach instead of Myrtle Beach.The only thing was the amount of space that they have, they need more room to seat everyone.

This was a fun place, we sat outside of the deck to eat on a nice evening. The all-you-can-eat catfish is worth the money. The hushpuppies and honey butter were tasty. I recommend this place to anyone.

We had the shrimp and catfish lunch specials. The catfish was a bit mushy (maybe that's how its supposed to taste; we don't eat much fish) but the shrimp was excellent. We would go back and recommend to others.

Best peel and eat steamed shrimp on the beach! Nice & spicey just like I like them....Love the fried green tomatoes and pickle chips, the perfect start to a beach meal with an ice cold beer!!!!!!!! We usually go here 3-4 times a year and have never been disapointed. The catfish is good as well. My son LOVES their wings and BBQ ribs....

My wife ordered fried oysters. The oysters had little pieces of shell in them. Almost broke a tooth. No one ever said they were sorry or anything. Just stood behind the bar talking about us and staring at us. Will never ever think of going back!!.

The fried oysters and shrimp were delicious! The boiled shrimp was excellent! Just wish there were other options for boiled, broiled, or sauteed! This is the 3rd year in a row we have eaten there and love it! Kind of rustic but definitely fun. It was the loudest restaurant we went to but our group of 10 enjoyed the food and atmosphere last week (08/24/08).

Bubbas was a place we tried a few years ago when it opened.. The bartenders have been friendly and quick to serve and the first time we had the fired pickle nickels was the bomb. Very family and kid friendly.. I would like to see them expand their menu a bit, but overall a great place.. We go back every year and even if we just stop in for a beer or two(or three : ) we have a great time.

Cheap and light. Good food. Customer service was not good at all. The hostess was a real witch and the waitress was not friendly at all. We were there the week of 7-12-08....

7-5-08, we enjoyed our dinner at Bubba's this will be our 3rd year visiting Bubba's as always the food is great. The fried pickle nickles are wonderful a little salty this time but good. My husband and I look forward to the oyster basket which they had sold out of because of the busy holiday. It's a neat place and the kids loved it.

This food is by far one of the best places we visited down here in South Carolina. We are from New York and don't eat seafood that much but the seafood here was great!!! The service is also remarkable, they are very friendly and fast. A local place near where we stay that we would definitely come back to and reccommend to anyone!
