We've been here several times and I thought I had reviewed already. We have enjoyed every dining experience here so far. Today was no different. We enjoy coming on Tuesdays for the pizza deal. Today we ordered the shotgun shrimp appetizer, a side salad, and the 33 Deluxe small pizza. We also decided to try a strawberry and a blackberry lemonade. After a short wait our shrimp and salad were delivered. Both were good. Our lemonades were delicious! Of course the pizza was delivered after we finished our appetizers. The pizza was great. Our server, EmilyB, was great. Always positive and smiling. We also noticed Japanese baseball was on. Didn't expect that honestly. This restaurant always has an active and vibrant atmosphere. There's seating for all types and television screens everywhere. During football season, this place is packed! The reviews are all over the place. We have always had a good experience here. If you're unsure about trying Bubba's 33, I recommend giving it a try. They have a variety that fits almost all appetites. read more

Used your app to for a place in line 10 min before we got there - told to wait in our car until notified - After 15 minutes, walked in to see what was going on - no one waiting - went to front desk and they seated us After waiting about 10 minutes - server came to get our drink order - one was a tall Miller Lite - Brought a Mich Ultra - didn't complain, just accepted it Once we ordered - food took about 40 minutes to arrive - during the wait, I was asked if I wanted another beer and I said yes, but can I get a Miller Lite this time - she said of course - I never got the beer When we got the food, I asked if I could get a ML and she said yes - I was brought a beer with a 4 inch head - told her I didn't want that and she took it to the bar - then Manager comes to the table and said the beer only had a 2 inch head which was the restaurants normal practice - I said I didn't want it - she said once it's poured, I can't remove from bill! - After a little back and forth, I said that's fine! Of course, the beer was flat in which I left half of it. On a great note! The food was incredible! Super job to the chef's in the back! I don't think I will be returning! BTW, I've been there about 6 times since you opened here in Jacksonville, and never had this type of experience and the beers were always poured perfectly. If this is your new practice of pouring, I think you may start to lose business to Ale House. read more

My thoughts have been compiling for three days and I think I'm finally ready to share them. This was a completely last-minute decision. Like, "we're already in the parking lot" last-minute. My daughter chose Bubba's 33 over Mission BBQ (which, for the record, I also have thoughts about, but that's another review). I'd never been to Bubba's before. Between all the hype around town and the endless debates in the local mom groups, I just never bothered. After this experience, I can confidently say my streak will likely continue. If you're looking for a place to waste time, Bubba's 33 absolutely delivers. Generously. Abundantly. Olympic-level time wasting. My 8-year-old and I waited about 20 minutes to be seated, which wasn't a huge deal. We got settled, our server greeted us, brought our drinks, and then apparently entered the Witness Protection Program. For roughly the next hour, she became more myth than employee. Meanwhile, tables seated after us were getting appetizers, entrees, refills, desserts, probably college degrees and retirement plans while we sat there staring at our drinks wondering if we'd somehow become invisible. Eventually our server reappeared and said, "I'm going to check on your food." Perfect. Except I then watched her walk to the POS system, print something, wander around a partition, stop and chat with another table, visit the table behind me, casually migrate to the hostess stand, disappear for about 30 seconds, reappear, make direct eye contact with me, and then immediately go help yet another table. At that point I wasn't sure if she was checking on my food or participating in a scavenger hunt. For context, our incredibly complex order consisted of: * Chicken tenders and fries. * A bowl of chili. That's it. Not a 12-course tasting menu. Not a custom-built wedding cake. Not an endangered truffle flown in from Europe. Chicken tenders. Fries. Chili. I've seen Amazon deliver furniture faster. The truly disappointing part is that we'd actually helped facilitate a jersey and helmet that ended up on their wall. So technically, I've contributed more to the décor than my server contributed to my dining experience. Maybe we caught them on a bad day. Maybe there was some catastrophe in the kitchen. Maybe my food is still being prepared right now as I type this review. All I know is that my first visit to Bubba's 33 somehow felt longer than most relationships I've been in. One star for the drinks arriving before retirement age. One star for teaching my daughter patience. Everything else remains under investigation. read more

The place is really nice. They have a bunch of energetic young team waitressing. We order the smash burger and the chicken wings. I was so hungry that I never took a picture of the burger or my wings, they were so delicious, so delicious that I am taking a picture right now after words. The cocktails looked delicious too but I didn't have any Our waiter Joey was friendly and professional, nothing gets better than that. read more

The place was really cool. There was nice music on and music videos playing. Also sports and magic tricks it was pretty neato. The service was awesome and the place was clean. Everyone who walked by had asked us if we were okay. They were all pretty sweet. Food wise amazing. Pizza was great and nachos were really good. read more

Stopped by for dinner and to watch some football on a Sunday afternoon. Trinity was our server and did a fantastic job. She was friendly, efficient, and truly looked like she enjoyed interacting with her customers. The chips and queso were very good!! I ordered chicken wings and they were slightly overcooked and a little dry. My colleague said his wings were very good. It is a typical family style / sports bar type restaurant. There were a LOT of TVs and management was very accommodating when ensuring the football games were on viewable TVs. I will definitely return to this or any other Bubba's 33 in the future. read more

Bubba's 33 - Strawberry Flavored Lemonade - Sports Bars Near Me - Jacksonville, North Carolina

We went Saturday in mid afternoon but the wait was still really long. Anyone who follows me knows I often mention if the sound level or music is really loud as I am very sensitive to that and can't tolerate loud places. Because of this I tend to monitor decibel levels and my watch has an alarm whenever sound is in a damaging range. The alarm kept going off while we were outside waiting and I had to walk away and wait in the car because it was too loud by the doors. The woman working the check-in outside was horse from yelling. The sound was peaking over 190 decibels and averaging about 121. Keep in mind sound over 85 decibels can damage your hearing, and working in those levels can permanently damage your hearing within a few hours. Once we were seated (and I had put in ear plugs which is rare) it was still peaking around 90 decibels and sustained around 82. I don't know about NC but in some states this would be illegal and get you fines from OSHA. My wife complained about the volume as did the table across from us but they never turned it down. Everyone had to scream at each other, not just yell to be heard. My wife got the strawberry lemonade which had real bits of strawberry in it and she thought it was a good mix. Ok, on to the food. It was ok, but nothing great. we decided to start with burgers and it was pretty much the same thing as we get a Jaggers (which is a sister chain), only about 30% more expensive. Don't get me wrong, we like Jaggers and go there a lot. But I'm not willing to pay significantly more just because this place has more decorations. The main dining room is large, and dark which I like. Where we were sitting we could not see the TV's but it seemed there were a lot in the main area, we were in a side area. The tables are fixed to the wall and the seating was uncomfortably narrow for us, we fit but not well. The table across from us had 4-5 more inches on either side than ours. The waitress never came back to fill our drinks but did bring us refills as we were paying after we finished eating. You pay on those little pay devices at each table. Maybe we should have tried something else other than burgers, but we felt the value wasn't there compared to Texas Roadhouse or Jaggers (the companies other chains in town). Our bill would have been $40 less at Jaggers and we would have been more comfortable there too. read more

Came here on Father's Day. Joey our server was great but whoever the GM is didn't plan enough staff and it took FOREVER to get a drink. Salads took 25 minutes. Dinner took over 50 minutes. The owner needs to consider who runs his restaurant on busy days because this was our 4th time here and the GM dropped the ball. read more

Bubba's 33 - Bacon cheese burger with good taters - Sports Bars Near Me - Jacksonville, North Carolina

Great place and great drinks. Customer service was great. My wife cut into her chicken and it was still a little pink in the middle. Manager/Ass. Manager Jo did a great job hearing our complaint and made sure my wife had her meal fixed and we were satisfied. They take correcting their mistakes very serious here. They are very kind and nice. read more

Food was great and our server Emily was phenomenal! Everything came out quickly and was exactly what we ordered.

Everything was perfect! The food was delicious. Sorry I ate too fast to take pictures. I had the strawberry salad and trust me, it was amazing. Hubby got the bacon, cheese burger and loved it. We will definitely make this place a regular! read more

First off, I just want everyone to acknowledge how noisy and crowded this place feels. Even if there were no people in this place, it would still sound like a rock concert. If you are looking for a quiet, chill, place to eat lunch or dinner, DO NOT go here. Also, there are about fifty TV's in this place, which can be extremely distracting. It's hard to enjoy a meal with my family when you have all of the noise and TV's. But it is also hard to enjoy a meal with my family considering how long it takes the food to arrive. My clothes practically went out of style before I got my single burger, which wasn't very good, by the way. That actually brings me to my next topic, which is the food. It was ok, but not what I was expecting. I only rated this place 2 stars because the staff was nice. Other than that, highly disappointed. read more

I waited over an hour for a pickup order with zero communication from the staff about the delay. When I finally received my order, it was incorrect and the food was cold. Very disappointing experience. Better communication and attention to orders would have made a big difference. read more

Tried Bubba's 33 for the first time today and was very impressed! Our server, Kaleb, was attentive, knowledgeable and gave us great menu recommendations. He made sure we had everything we needed and was very efficient. We didn't get a picture of the shrimp appetizer but that's a MUST! Their cocktail prices were sooo reasonable. My boyfriend got a Cadillac margarita with an extra shot for $12! It was delicious as well. The steak was AHmazing! Juicy, well seasoned and cooked perfectly. Definitely coming back for Sunday football! The vibes are good! read more

Worst place in Jacksonville. Will likely close in 33 weeks. First, the wrong beer came out, and it was luke cold. Second ordered two apps, fried pickles came out clearly cold and old. Third. signature dishes not available at 2:30 in the afternoon. Kids nuggets and fries came out 40 minutes after ordering and still waiting on a shrimp po'boy, crispy chicken salad and fish in chips. I will never return and look forward to the closing of this abomination! The service was nonexistent, the food a gamble, and the vibe pure frustration. I'll never darken their door again and can only hope their impending closure spares future diners this culinary catastrophe. Avoid at all costs--Jacksonville deserves better. The wait staff was super nice though! read more

Very noisy. If you are wanting nice quiet lunch place, don't go here! Extremely noisy. I ordered Philly Cheesesteak --- while serving generous --- not vey tasty. Meat overcooked, loved fries. Order from kitchen slow. Server never came back to table. May consider ordering something else on line, will not visit again. read more

They are a fairly new restaurant but you can see the filth piling up. Tonight I asked for a female manager to show her the bathroom degrade. The filth was over several weeks and getting gross. The female manager stayed silent as I showed my concerns. Then I stated if the kitchen looks any thing close as the bathrooms they should be closed, she cursed at me and walked away. So then I started to take pictures of the kitchen which didn't go well. We were asked to leave which we did, pictures in hand. The female manager could have handled this so much better. read more

Atmosphere is fun and upbeat, saw many families and friends eating together, lots of TV's and music playing all around you, our waitress was awesome, just as everyone that we talked with that worked there. Food... the onion rings were some of the best we've ever had, mozzarella sticks and sauce were average at best, my burger was juicy but a little small as the delicious bun was bigger than the burger, my wife had the fish and chips and it was light and flakey. Overall, the prices were reasonable for restaurants today but I think the service makes it a place I would return to. read more

I love coming to this place it's got great food and great drinks, during the snow storm I watched 6 police officers walk in after working all day in the storm just for the server turn the away , saying there not taking any more customers I offered them my family's spot in line and the server wouldn't allow it. I told her make sure not to call them when you need help truly disrespectful how police are treated when there your life line in a time of need! Do better bubbas! read more

Food was great , personal great , prices were moderate. Parking was fair, handicap parking and entrance was okay.

Good place to go for sports - tvs and atmosphere-food was great burger and a steak was only $22.00 for a ribeye

Great food and delicious drink! The best burger ever cooked to perfection along with delicious crispy fries!

Service was great. Chicken / bacon Mac was excellent. I didn't know it was a chain at first but I would still go again.

My husband and I had our first experience at Bubba's last night and can I tell you, it was awesome. We needed to wait for the rest our party to join us, so we sat at the bar and had a beer, the bar tenders were great, good vibe. Then we needed to wait a little for a table, the hostess taking names jumped right in to make sure we didn't need to wait too long, having a baby in tow. We sat outside, since our NC weather was cooperating and it was a beautiful evening. Mind you the place was packed and our server Alanna killed it. She did an amazing job, the manager even stopped by to see how things were going. The food was great and the service all around was perfect. Keep it up! Thanks Nina Jacksonville, NC location read more

Service is good atmosphere is good. Food is good. The only thing I can complain about is a creamy chipotle pasta has too much salt, but overall good experience and service. read more

If you have to go out with someone you hate this is the place, it's so loud you can't hear anything. Literally a screaming baby next to us and it came through like the softest whisper. They have a ton of staff on the floor which seems great in theory but doesn't seem to be the case in the kitchen based on how long our order took. I had the po boy and the sauce had zero spice to it and was way too sweet. Most of our order was pretty mid flavor wise, with only two out of the six of us actually enjoying their meal. read more

The food was overly salted and processed. The loud music made it hard to hear the waitress and have a conversation. At least the music choice was good. Our waitress was nice. Lots of different football games on the TVs. If I could give it 2 1/2 stars that's what it would get. read more

I have high hopes for this establishment, but it seems that when it gets busy, requests to change a TV to a specific game are left up to whoever happens to have the tablet. I've spent quite a bit of time here and know several of the bartenders--who, to be clear, do an excellent job. That's the main reason my friends and I continue to visit. If there's a policy against taking requests to change the game, that's completely understandable, but it should be clearly communicated to customers. However, I know that's not currently the case, as I've seen requests for specific games granted in previous weeks. Literally heard a manager talk to a employee about the topic and nothing came from it Definitely don't go here if your trying to watch a specific game with out staring across the way and potentially having to lock eyes with another patron probably doing the same thing read more

Service deserves 10 stars!!! Waitress was fast, friendly and just made us smile with her positive energy. Food needs some work but it was good. (Better than Outback) We will be coming back to Bubba's 33! read more

We've been to this restaurant a few times & we've never really had a bad experience. The staff is always friendly and we always have a great waiter. Tonight our waiter was Kota super friendly & great service as always. However, I'm writing my review because the one thing I don't like about the food is it's always a tad salty. As I've mentioned we've been a few times & that is the only thing I don't like hopefully they can dial back on the salt. read more

Everything was great! The bartenders ( all of them) were awesome!! The drinks were perfect, food was delicious and the staff was so nice and welcoming. Can't wait to go back! read more

Waitresses should be more concerned when something isn't good. Though we spoke to a couple employees, our only response was "hopefully we will be better next time". Sandwiches were soggy. Have no idea how that could happen! read more

I have tried bubbas 3 times , the first time I got up to use the restroom only to come back to see all my food and beverage being thrown away as they cleared my entire table and said opps I thought you were done ...well I was not not second time we bought a gift card and we were told you get a free pizza with a 50 dollar gift card, well apparently that was not true either you need to buy a meal too. This place has issues service was slow and some people should not be in management ever. It's sad because I thought this was gong to be a good spot I was so wrong read more
