Bubba's Shrimp Shack is our Go To fave place for perfect fried shrimp, fish, oysters and okra. The light breading (House of Autry brand) sets them apart from the rest of seafood restaurants. We go try other places and we always say "Bubba's is better".. all the sides are fantastic., did I mention the okra ? The green beans seasoned fabulously. The Bubba Sauce is a must for everything. ( i take leftover sauce home) the staff are wonderful and if the owner, Bubba ( yep, that really is his name) is there he will chat with you like you are family. So it's not a fancy place but it has a fun atmosphere.. hope and pray Bubba's stays consistently good.. we will keep returning read more

We were nervous to try this place but is truly a gem! I got the fried shrimp and oyster basket and the breading had a slight sweetness to them! the shrimp were bigger and paired well with the cocktail sauce! If you like shrimp you should definitely check this place out! Workers were all very sweet and brought everything out in a timely manner! Parking was not a problem here! read more

Bubba’s Shrimp Shack - Seafood Near Me - Mechanicsville, Virginia

I'd give zero stars of I could. $23 for a large dinner and they sent 3 small pieces of fish, less fries than a McDonald's small. Over $5 for a large onion ring order... We got 6 onion rings. I will never order from this place again, ever. What rip off read more

My husband is always in search of fried oysters and he saw that Bubba's had a fried oyster plate so Bubba's it was. We got there when it opened and were waited on by the owner himself! I got the fried shrimp and clam strip platter and it was cooked to perfection. The green beans were well seasoned and the onion rings were substantial. My husband didn't have a lot to say while he was eating. I'm guessing it was because he was totally enjoying his meal! The owner spent some time with my husband talking about the history of the company which was a real treat. We will definitely return to the restaurant the next time we are in the area. Thanks for a delicious meal! read more

Monday 1/22/24 5:30pm Never heard of Bubbas Shrimp Shack and I love seafood so why not try it. Upon entering I immediately noticed only 1 customer inside. I was helped immediately. The cashier was nice and explained the menu. I ordered the medium shrimp & chips. That came with 7 shrimp. I'm pretty sure she said the small came with five shrimp. I also substituted my fries with fried okra. Sweet tea as my drink. $14.72 She brought my food to me. Fried okra was good as was the shrimp. The shrimp were pretty big. The breading on the shrimp...I don't know if it needed to be cooked a little longer or what but the breading easily fell off the shrimp. Nonetheless, it was still pretty good. The hush puppies were OK. Nothing bad, but nothing exceptional. The restaurant is casual and family friendly. Reminds me of Skrimp Shack. This place is about 30 minutes away from where I live but if I was in the neighborhood I'd revisit. But not so good that I make a special trip out there. read more

Today I visited Bubba's Shrimp Shack. It's in a convenient location right off of Mechanicsville turnpike. The shop is a little difficult to see from the road unless you are looking for it. It's a nice little place with some outdoor seating as well as plenty of indoor seating. I ordered the Fish and Shrimp tacos and a big fish sandwich. I didn't quite expect the tacos to be as big as they were, they're big! The fish and Shrimp tacos are really good and the breading on the shrimp is light, which shows just how big the shrimp are! The fish taco has a large chunk of fish and a mango style coleslaw. I thought both were very good and I would definitely come back for more shrimp tacos! The big fish is gigantic! It's basically a whole fillet of fish folded in half on the bread. Not for the weak of heart, this sandwich will fill you up. I took half home. The fish was good and they give you two different types of tartar sauce. The first being regular tartar and the other being a spicy sauce like bang bang sauce, both were good. The shop was clean and the cook was visibly wiping things down after having cooked and the staff were immediately cleaning tables upon people leaving. Not sure if it was the owner or manager but a nice guy stopped by inquiring about the visit. Over all I will definitely come back especially for some more shrimp!!! read more

Shrimp were the worst fried shrimp i ever had. The shrimp had absolutely no batter at all. I tried to call the restaraunt but received no answer.I really want my money back. I spent 21.99 for this mess. Very disappointed. read more

Good food! Nice fast food seafood option for Mechanicsville. Good selection of fish and sides.

My mom, wife and myself all had the shrimp and flounder basket, and were quite happy with the quality, portion size and affordable price at Bubba's Shrimp Shack. The hush puppies are good too! We will definitely be back to this locally owned place! read more

Service was great and the food was good. Fish was delicious and fried oysters were tasty

This is the business that took over the scrimp shack when they left mechanicsville If you liked the other I think you'll like these guys. Simple fried seafood choices mostly. Generous portions priced well for seafood Checkout the $10 lunch specials going now. If your good with a self serve restaurant that makes a pretty good fish sandwich or shrimp basket for a reasonable price this is your place. The sides are tasty and served simply Go and try it out you won't be disappointed read more

I give Bubba's Shrimp a 4 rating because I thought the food is good for a fast food restaurant. It was hot, tasty and most of all, not over salted. The wait was not long. The counter staff were polite and efficient. Time for a return visit. read more

It's the old Skrimp Shack and the food isn't that much better. The breading falls of the shrimp and the fish is not flavorful. I have rich taste buds and I think they can do better. The service is okay, as you are greeted when you walk in. No change in the decor but it seems like people enjoy sitting inside to eat. I went 2 different times to order something different and it's not worth a 3rd visit. read more
