    Grouper sandwich $17 with coleslaw
    Pat C.

    Bubba's is a cute little place with friendly service and fresh seafood and burgers. It was too hot to sit outside today but their patio looks real nice. The seafood is freshly made. I started with a Georgia beer made in Valdosta. It was a refreshing amber ale. It was really delicious. Next I had the crab cakes as a starter. They were big and generous with a nice sauce. The crab tasted very good and perhaps there was too much bread but overall extremely good. My entree was the grouper sandwich. The filet was large, nicely blackened, very fresh and delicious. It was fabulous! A-plus on this sandwich. I would definitely return for lunch or dinner again. It's quite popular. By 5pm the dinner crowd was here.

    Fried oysters and shrimp with onion rings and and corn on the cobb

    I wish I could give them 6 stars. The food is amazing, but the warmth of the staff, their desire to make sure everyone has a great experience is way beyond anything I've ever experienced. We live in ATL and stop in for a visit every time we travel to FL. Oh, did I mention that the food is always hot and fresh! Yummy!!!

    Blackened Shrimp - the rest of the fried green tomatoes and the delicious Blue cheese - must have! SEEEE that shrimp is huge !!!

    Ok ..::so sorry my pic was the leftover shrimp for my Nugget ...haven't been there in a while about 1 year maybe ..:Im a chef and my GO-TO food is the FRIED GREEN TOMATOES....this time I found the PERFECT topping ...6 HUGE juicy perfectly cooked Blackened Shrimp!!! Had to ask for more BLUE CHEESE ...exquisite, well-plated, Perfect server - she (came back) topped my Arnold Palmer off after refilling it with Sweet tea-nice touch to add a bit of lemonade - don't remember her name ...but nice Tatts on arms, smooth style, thoughtful service -thx again ... I was a so stuffed.. Needed that !!!! (That's a small styrofoam togobox!)

    Visiting from New Jersey, my husband and I are on a road trip up the East Coast from Florida, and we decided to stop at Bubba Jax after seeing all the great Yelp reviews--it definitely lived up to the hype! I ordered the fried green tomatoes and gator tails, and omg--wow! Both were absolutely amazing. The remoulade sauce was spicy and delicious, the perfect complement. I also got a peach wine slushy mixed with one other flavor (full disclosure: I forgot the name), but it was incredible too! Super easy stop off the highway with prompt, friendly, and fast service. Highly recommend!

    Great lunch spot!

    Fun and easy to enjoy! Seat yourself and order sime fresh seafood. Everything we tried was tasty, from Crabcakes & Fried Shrimp to the Boiled Red Potatoes. The sweet tea is really good, too! Seat yourself and enjoy the quick service. Loved it!

    Love the rocking chairs on the front porch.
    AJ A.

    This was the biggest surprise! Just a little house with a big front porch and a bunch of rocking chairs on it. Inside you'll find the cutest little place with a lot of TVs to watch your sports programs. The staff is so friendly and the food comes out really quick. The low country boil melts in your mouth. I love this little place.

    Dog friendly

    Yummy, yummy, yummy! I found Bubba Jax on Yelp, as we were driving from Florida into Georgia. It's really warm and we had Daisy with us, so we needed somewhere to eat with outside seating. I had Oysters Rockefeller which was perfect for my low carb diet. Bacon, cheese, butter and Spinach atop a delectable oyster. Delish! Dave had the seafood platter, fried oysters, blackened shrimp, corn on the cob and onion rings. All very good! So if you're heading north, Bubba Jax is located conveniently near I-75. We love supporting local community businesses wherever we are!

    The fried coating was lacking any flavor. Tasted like raw flour. The staff was pleasant. We did take out do no ratings for ambience.

    Let me start with the good: this place looks like it knows what it's doing. The ambiance is simple,…read moretasteful, and well-designed--perfect for a cute dinner out. We were greeted with a smile the second we walked in, and our server was friendly and attentive the whole time. A+ for vibes and service. Now, the food... oof. We started with the appetizer special of the night, which, shockingly, was the best thing we had--and it was aggressively mid. Everything that followed? Two thumbs down. The peas I ordered as a side; I swear were marinated in red onion slivers for several decades. Even after picking out all the visible onion, (as shown in pictures) it still tasted like Shrek's bathwater. If I had ordered this on a first date, I would've just gone home to save us both the trauma of onion breath. There's no way a single person has ever eaten this dish and said, "Wow, that was delightful." I'd actually pay money to see the facial expressions of anyone taking a bite. My partner's mashed potatoes? So dry and dense I could've thrown them at a wall and they'd stick. Come back the next morning and they'd be holding up drywall. Not a single drop of moisture in sight. I asked for crushed red pepper for my flatbread (thinking maybe it could be saved). No - No pepper flakes. Apparently none of their flatbreads are allowed joy or spice. Even if they did have red pepper, I don't think it would've saved it. Best thing we had all night? My partner's chicken. And even that was dry. So, that says a lot. Final verdict: come here for a drink and a snack before going somewhere else for the actual meal. It's a great pregame spot, but if you're hungry-hungry, keep walking.

    So good! Delicious! Went there 3 times already, and all of my visits were amazing! Recommend 100%!…read moreLove to support local businesses, and service is always quick and amazing! Ambiance is nice too, as the seating outside provides a nice view!
