I had the southern fried chicken. The most tender yet crispy chicken I've had in ages. Seasoned perfectly for my taste. The garlic mashed potatoes were very flavorful. I wasn't excited about the amount of potato skins. Too many large pieces. Large pieces were also an issue with the coleslaw. Some were larger than my fork. Flavor was spot on. I will go back. read more

My family and I have lived in North Carolina for 2 years and we candidly have never found a restaurant with quality food AND quality service since we came here....UNTIL NOW!!! What an Great Experience....My son who left the food industry after 20 years in restaurant management before moving here and me, with 70+ years of eating were both blown away. Our server Tayy approached our table , introduced herself and immediately gave us a tour of the menu, answered all questions and delivered highly efficient service. Through out the meal she continually anticipated our needs on refills and checking in at appropriate times. The food for 4 adults across the board was highly praised from all from Fish and Chips. burgers and a chicken dish with salsa, rice and avocado that received very high praises...the manager walked by and took time to get to know us.....hope he liked us because he is going to see a lot more of us!!! Congratulations to a great restaurant team that with my family hit a grand-slam homerun!! read more

We were seated very quickly as it was just before the dinner rush. Host was very friendly and welcoming. Our server was very pleasant, waited patiently as we paroozed the menu since it was our first time there. The menu offered a lot of options and the steak was tempting since they are the sister company to Texas Roadhouse. However, we ordered a pizza and shrimp and chicken. It is definitely a sport bar atmosphere and can easily get very loaded so that is something to keep in mind if you are planning the evening. Very clean restaurant and I always check restrooms when I get the chance. The ladies room was spotless. read more

The food was very good the waitress Cindy was very nice and gave amazing information on the place and the food and top choices. We had wings onion rings and shrimp poboy she expressed it was fresh to made and it definitely was. Nice fresh hot on point. Good save house made delicious the ambiance is like a sports bar vibe but they have different events on different nights. The only bad is if you don't like seasonings you won't like I do so I liked but blood pressure can go up read more

Clean environment, friendly staff, great food. Such a fun stop traveling after a flight home this afternoon. We meet several locals in the bar area. Watched March Madness games while eating. Staff had a free ticket raffle drawing at half time of the basketball game... prize was Bubba's 33 souvenirs! So fun! Onion rings light and crisp with an amazing dip. Wings were yummy, they make the sauces in house. Side salad fresh, crisp and price friendly. We added avocado for a small charge. Both staff behind the bar were super friendly. We were 30 mins from our destination as we left the restaurant so we will definitely return to try the burgers and pizza! read more

Been to Bubba's a few times. Always good food and service. Went Saturday afternoon. It was 62 outside. It was absolutely frigid inside. It was so cold that I had two jackets on and was still freezing. My husband was even cold and he's never cold. And the fans were on. Our food was good except with the cold, the fries and tots were cold before we could eat half of them. It was absolutely ridiculous. No reason for that. At some point not long before we were done, a manager came by asking how everything was. Told her that it was freezing. She said she adjust thermostat. If she did, we couldn't tell before we left. Not sure we'll be back. read more

I had really high hopes for Bubba's 33 but it just wasn't happening for me. The food was TERRIBLE. The service was excellent which is why they got at least two stars. I love monte Cristos! You will see multiple reviews and pictures of them on my Yelp page and how much I enjoy them. The monte Cristo at Bubba's was abysmal. It had so much breading and was over fried to the point it was inedible. I had about three bites to give it a good chance and I just couldn't eat it. It was like biting into a cheese filled rock. I took it home to see if I can deconstruct the sandwich at home and salvage the meat. The waitress, Chrissy, was wonderful and did a great job taking care of me at Bubba's 33. The manager, Jazz, was very friendly as well. They did give me a coupon to come back for a free appetizer which I did appreciate but it didn't make up for the bad food. I don't know if I will be back after this experience. The food left a lot to be desired. I'm really disappointed in my experience. You can see the thickness of the breading in my pictures. read more

great service great food such nice people NO COMPLAINTS AT ALL!!!!!!!!!! EVERYTHING WAS GREAT. I could just keep talking about how good it was and good. It wasn't good. It was oh my gosh everything was perfect. Clean fine everything read more

Wish we had a Bubbas closer to my location. We always enjoy everything we order from this location. Due to the distance I get take out. The food is ready when they say it will be ready. I like that I can pull up on the right side of the restaurant and wait for my food. I will continue to get food from Bubbas33. If you plan to go and eat inside come early. It stays busy! read more

Really good food. They have THE best burgers! The ONLY thing is they play their music WAY too loud. Having conversations is dang near impossible. read more

Went there and was big hit and miss. Appetizer was pretty good. Then my burger was a not bad burger my wife's burger the worst ever. Beyond overcooked. Those hotdogs the use to have a 7-11 cooking all the time all day were better cooked than that burger she had. Could have used it as a patch for a tire. Never would go back read more

I was surprised to learn this is the sister business to Texas Roadhouse. Different menu but close to the same atmosphere.

Bubba's is an unexpected gem! My friend and I stopped after a roller skating session thinking it was probably going to be a a simple bar spot. We were shocked to see it was a full blown restaurant with really good drinks and food! Once entering, we were quickly greeted and seated at a table near a window, which was open and allowed for a nice breeze to come in. My friend ordered the creamy chipotle paste, which is a touch on the spicy side. Portion size was huge and could easily feed two people (or split in half for leftovers later). I ordered the Philly cheesesteak with fries - a tasty classic meal. Both of us really enjoyed our meals and service was equally as good. Manager came around during our meal to make sure everything was good. For drinks, I ordered the frozen mango margarita, which was delicious and huge! I could barely finish mine. All in all, we stumbled beyond a gem in Gastonia, and we'll for sure be back to try more options on the menu. The chicken n bacon Mac and cheese looked divine. read more

I've been to Bubba's 33 plenty of times, but this was hands-down the worst service I've ever experienced. We were seated right next to the kitchen and server station, where staff were loudly gossiping. I politely asked Abby, our server/hostess, if we could be moved. She said yes, but there would be a wait. I said that was fine and asked if we could wait at our current table until another one opened up. She immediately snapped, "It doesn't work like that," and walked away. I ended up going to the host stand myself to get us moved, and when our table was ready, Abby's attitude was still nasty. At that point, I asked for a manager. Krissy was kind and professional, but Abby's rude and dismissive behavior ruined the entire experience. This level of service is unacceptable. Bubba's 33 should take a serious look at how their staff treats paying customers, because no one should feel unwelcome just for asking to switch tables. read more

Once again, a great time. Great food, great service. Getting treated like a good friend never gets old. Thanks Bowie. You made our day. read more

I love the food and eat here fairly often BUT PLEASE FIX YOUR WEBSITE. At least 75% of the time I try to order online via my phone, it doesn't work for whatever reason, so I use my laptop. Tonight, I'm trying to put in an order using my laptop, but after trying several times for the past 30 minutes, my family will have to eat somewhere else. It's not my phone/laptop because I don't have this issue ordering elsewhere. Thanks! read more

I got a take out order for lunch! I got a 12 count of boneless wings! Half plain and half shotgun sauce! (Sweet Asian) is what it gave! Very yummy! The chicken was juicy and fried to perfection! Keith and Kaylin (I hope that was her name) were wonderful and made the takeout process very easy! read more

Been to a couple different Bubba's and the food is always delicious and a decent beer/liquor selection. The service is usually very nice and speedy, and the atmosphere is great on game day. Highly recommend for good food and hanging out. read more

Food was great. We had a variety of orders at our table and everyone loved what they got. Conner was great as a waiter! Only thing keeping it from 5 stars was the music being so loud. We could hardly hear each other at our table. read more

Great food, service and experience! Our girls love their kids menu selection and we love the huge selection for the adults. The lasagna, pizza and salad are all great! read more

The service is top notch! At least it was in our experience. Our waitress (I believe her name was Harmony... the receipt had a different name so now I'm second guessing) was very nice and always checking on us without being overbearing. That can be tough to balance. She asked if we had ever been there before and then told us they were known for their big burgers and welcomed any questions. She kept our drinks filled and provided great service from start to finish. The manager even stopped by to give us a card for a free appetizer since she heard it was our first visit. She asked how our service was and we told her how great everything had been, and that our waitress deserves a raise. Truly, good service is hard to find anymore so it means that much more when you come across some and this place seems to value that. Probably why it is so popular and always busy. We ordered the poblano spinach dip while we looked over the menu. We had originally decided on the chorizo queso but changed our minds at the last minute. Next time, I would go with the queso. The spinach dip was good and they give you a lot, but it was rather thin and runny instead of creamy. It was also supposed to come with salsa but didn't. Which was fine since we ran out of chips before making it halfway through the dip. Our waitress was nice enough to bring us more, though. Overall, the appetizer was fine but not something I would order again given the other great options the menu has to offer. I ordered the Guacamole Bacon burger and the waitress was not kidding about how large they are! You don't realize just how big it will be until you see it for yourself. I would've been happy with half the size, honestly. I'm not one to usually like big burgers but the menu description of patties made with a blend of bacon and beef caught my eye. I believe these options are made with two patties so I may ask for one on the side next time. I couldn't open my mouth big enough to take a full bite lol. The flavors were delicious and everything seemed to be made fresh in house, which always takes it up a notch. I chose the fire fries for my side and loved how crispy they were. The spicy seasoning they use definitely has a kick but paired with some house-made ranch, it balances perfectly. Unfortunately, I had to box most of them to go since I couldn't even finish my burger. I'm hoping they will reheat well. Next time I will definitely have to pace myself better. My husband decided on the Chicken Parmesan sandwich and it was also pretty large. He's usually able to manage a big sandwich but even he had to tap out before it was all said and done. I tried a bite or two and enjoyed it as well. The pickles seem like they would be out of place when you first read the description but they work so well with the sauce and chicken! The sauce had great flavor and everything seemed fresh. His sandwich was actually steaming for the majority of the meal. Not sure it gets more fresh than that! He had the cheese fries that also looked great but I couldn't find room to try them. All in all, it was a great meal. The place was packed but there seemed to be plenty of staff to manage it. There's a lot of seats and parking but nearly every table and parking space was in use, and there was still a line waiting outside. This was somewhat of an odd hour too so I was surprised but after our meal and service, I can see why everyone chooses to eat here. Also, the prices are pretty reasonable considering the amount of food you get. It's almost cheaper than fast food at this point and much better use of the money, in my opinion. The only drawback I can really offer is how loud it is. Between the crowds of people and blaring music, this isn't the place to go when you want a quiet dining experience. And it's probably not the place to go if you're looking for something healthy. I'm sure they offer healthier options but let's face it, if you're wanting something like that, you're probably better off choosing a different restaurant. This place is serving up good ol' American gluttony on plates so it's definitely not somewhere to go regularly. Unless you're planning to make good choices, split plates, or take most of it home for another day. But if you're looking at these pictures and reviews, you probably already know what to expect so have at it, my friend! And ask for Harmony's section when you get there! read more

Food was great and the service was absolutely awesome! The ambiance was okay but the table was a mess and the restroom was a catastrophe...

Great spot to grab a bite to eat - great selection of food- there was a bit of a wait but it was worth waiting for - enjoy the ambiance! Great music during dinner time is always a plus - food was tasty - service was excellent- if you're in the area try this spot ! read more

Horrible Drive Carryout service. Watched my food sit on the counter for over 30 minutes even after satin g something numerous times to the staff. Finally got the food and it was literally luke warm food. Ask to speak to manager Tyler and he was not pleasant didn't try to accommodate the situation at all. Never will go back and I'm a regular there. read more

I got the chicken bacon mac & cheese, so good!! Service was great, our waitress was super attentive and sweet. Good music and cool decor!!

My parents were very excited to dine here while visiting Gasatonia and it did not disappoint! This place has been packed, so there was a 40 minute wait. Once we received a text we were promptly seated. Everyone we spoke to was very friendly! I had the Stromboli and my parents both had bacon cheeseburgers. Everything was delicious! Our server let us know that just about everything on the menu was freshly made in house, even down to the burger patties with ground bacon, pizza dough, and sauces. They also heavily support veterans, which we appreciate because my father in a Marine Corps veteran. We will definitely return! read more

The service was top notch, greeted us within secs at the door, directed us to our table, asked for what drinks, and gave us just the right amount of time to browse their menu. The food is excellent tasting and fresh quality, and very nice presentation on the food, a bit loud, but the ambience was very cool, and welcoming. Definitely catered to the younger folk, it is a bit noisy with the music and multiple TVs. Overall as my first visit, i loved it. I ordered the fish n chips, the spinach salad dip with garlic bread, and my daughter ordered the 6garlic n parm bones wings with seasoned fries. Will definitely return to try their burgers and pizza , and other delicious appetizers and salads next go round. Thanks to Brooke; our waitress for the evening for a perfect Father daughter date night. Highly recommended for family, sports fans, ideal for dating, and with loud and funny friends read more

Never been disappointed when we eat here!!! Service is always top notch!!! All the sports you would ever want to see on tv

Decided to give them another chance. We at lunch time on a Sunday. It was busy and the waitress was very attentive. She asked if was our first time and we explained our previous experience. She was appalled and quickly took our order. The food came out in a reasonable time considering how busy they were. It was very good. Soon the manager came out and explained that he was new and working on correcting the problems he was aware of. To make up for our previous problems he gave us a coupon for a free appetizer. With the good food and excellent customer service we will be going back. read more

Bubbas is always a place where the family loves to eat. The atmosphere is great because they constantly have variety of games on every TV. My wife loves how they have her fav beverages. The place has great pizza cheese fries and my daughter loves the wings. Only downfall is they need milkshakes. Always a spot on our rotation of places to eat. read more

Excellent variety on the menu many options to satisfy anyone in your party. There are burgers, pizza, steak, salad, and wings. I couldn't resist trying two appetizers. The garlic knots were amazing best I have had in long time this would be the main reason I would choose to return here. Good garlic and buttery coverage, fluffy, and a unique combination with the beer cheese that was surprisingly good. The fried pickles were crispy and the ranch had good flavor. We got the sunshine burger they have regular beef patties but also a beef and bacon grind patty. The bacon grind patties are overwhelming in bacon flavor and the bacon flavor lasted forever in my mouth after the meal. I would not recommend it but possibly the regular burger patties would be good. Service was incredibly slow it was a little busy but it was unexpected how long it took our food to come. The restaurant music is loud and the booths are uncomfortable because you have to lean forward to the table because the benches are so far back. read more

Always a great experience! Staff is friendly and drinks are usually good. Great value too, not too high for the quality of food.

Burger was big and juicy Chicken sandwich was big and juicy Service was a little slow but it was Monday and a busy night Lots of tv to watch sports Good music was playing Clean bathrooms Hostess was the cutest little teenage boy. Very polite and great attitude. We enjoyed and will return. Already told my friends about this place. read more

We have been twice over the past month (we live 40-ish miles away). Wekikely would have been before now, but didn't kjow about this location. We enjoy Bubba's 33 when we are in Fayetteville. Both times we came to the Gastonia store, we were there near opening time. We enjoyed pizza and burgers both times and have enough left over for dinner that night. The Spicy Habanero Burger is a large burger with just enough kick to remind you this is not some fast food place. The pepperoni pizza has the right amount of pepperoni and is cooked all the way through, which beats many places, especially at lunch time. Our servers were eager to make sure our orders were correct and promply delivered. There were plenty of TV's for sports fans, but might have been a little too loud during lunch, if you needed to have a more business-y lunch or just wanted to chat. The music video channel is what was playing both days. This is probably a preference thing and this is mine. When we go to Gastonia, we look forward to having another chance to try something great at Bubba's 33. read more

Over the years, I have been here many times. I have had many dishes including pasta, pizza, salads, and burgers. I have ordered out and have set down to have a meal. Every single time, the food was fresh and the service was great. I highly recommend their fried chicken salad with ranch. The dressings are out of this world.​ read more

Here is a picture of the food that I along with a friend ate at Bubba's 33. My salad was delicious and it was very fresh. But, the shrimp appetizer was something that took the cake for me. I am a seafood connoisseur, and this is by far the best shrimp appetizer, along with the sauce that I have ever tasted. I ate everything on the plate. The service was fairly timely and the hostess was very kind and patient. The the ambience was cozy and inviting, but it really would've been cool to have a speaker by our table so we could hear a particular television station at our booth. I know that's a far stretch of a requested service, but it's a thought. Lol. I gave this restaurant an 8 out of 10. The boom, boom shrimp appetizer was so good. FYI, that's not the true name of the appetizer, I just forgot. I also forgot to take a picture of it. Lol I'll take a picture of the shrimp appetizer the next time I go. read more

I rarely give anywhere 5 stars, but the food was so good. You could tell it was homemade. I got the mushroom burger and it was huge! It was absolutely delicious and I'm very picky with my burgers. The boneless wings were amazing. They had the perfect seasoning. If you love bread I would definitely get the garlic knots. All the food was delicious I got. The prices are good too. Try it, you will like it. read more
