Before I start this, I am above legal age and maybe they don't trust their servers to be able to tell the difference. Bubbas made a new policy saying they only serve horizontal ID's, really was looking forwards to their margaritas that's I've been drinking for the passed couple of years, but have lost my business. didn't realize the way my ID laid would determine if I was legal or not to get a drink. booooo since they didn't wanna serve im at 54th street (down the road) drinking a margarita so shout out to them! read more

Food was amazing!! (minus the cheesecake and the lemon basil salad dressing) Service was ok. Our waitress didn't get our desert order correct but I'm thankful because it wasn't as good as I thought it would be. The ambiance was nice. Lots of big TVs. Great for those wanting to watch a good game! read more

We arrived in San Antonio during a torrential downpour, and a flash flood warning and was looking for a place to eat that would accommodate picky eaters and kids that was close to our motel. After looking on Yelp, Bubbas had the highest rating and was the closest. We were seated right away and our server showed up quickly. She gave us all waters without having to be asked and gave suggestions on what to order. We got fries to share and the kids got a pepperoni pizza and Mac and cheese while I got a burger with broccoli side and my nephew got a pepperoni pizza also. The burger was delicious, juicy and large. I was only able to eat half. The kids ate all their food, as did my nephew and we left very satisfied. read more

We have now been to Bubba's three times and it was good 2/3. Large, loud sports-bar with eclectic food. Very pro-troops. Pretty good food. The BlackBerry Sweet Tea is amazing. Service has been good 2/3 times, but be careful when you go. We came once around 5pm and were told we had a '5 minute wait' that stretched to 30 minutes. read more

Great food terrible service. That poor waitress didn't know what she was doing. Over all because the food is so good I gave it 5 stars

Weirdest experience ever. The server took my drink order, took my id after the fact (as a 25 year old) and then had the manager come tell me vertical ID's aren't allowed. It's really weird because you would expect the servers to know their policies before serving and purchasing drinks. I guess if you're drinking/dining here make sure you have a horizontal ID because they'll make you pay for the drink you didn't get before they kick you out. Megan is weird, management is weird, won't be back again. read more

We came here on a Sunday afternoon with our family. There wasn't a wait so we were seated very quickly. I ordered a strawberry lemonade that was so delicious. We ordered for starters some onion rings that were freshly baked and delicious with two types of sauces, ranch and one other. Plates came out so quickly and hot. The salad I ordered was fresh. Salmon was a bit overdone and not overly seasoned but a perfect blend for my salad that was topped off with a lot of crispy seasoned chips. Everyone enjoyed their plates. Were well seasoned and hot. Even the service was really good. Sever attentive. This is a fun hot spot for friends and family where you can listen to music, and enjoy a good ambience. With TV screens all over the place watching 4 different shows, music videos and sports your bound to find something your interested in watching. Lights are dim, so it could work as a date night or just a hang out place with your friends. I'm sure it can get packed on a Fridays or Saturdays because of their drink specials. With such a fun vibe and with the movie theaters nearby, who knows where we can go next...surely we'll be back soon! read more

I loved my visit to Bubba's. The food was amazing. The service was second to none. The restaurant was so clean and well decorated. This will be a place my family and I visit often. read more

My waiter only saw our table two or three times, including the times for food and drinks. So once basically to check up. My wife is 24 and was not able to order alcoholic drinks because they refused to take her legitimate drivers license because it is "vertical". They even refused to scan it. It's astonishing that my well above age wife cant enjoy a drink because they decided drivers licenses don't verify your age. If you're at risk of serving a minor, do the due diligence to determine facial attribute, check for stamps, or even scan the license. If you have ever worked in a bar, or establishment where you possibly could serve alcohol, you'd know how easy it is. Very unprofessional. read more

great service pretty good food across the board great pizza and daily drink specials read more

Yummy is the word that came to mind. I chose a burger, but my friend chose a fajit la type meal. Both had us and our bellies happy. It is a large place so not very quiet, more of a pal hangout or meet up with friends/family. Not a date spot unless they like loud read more

bubba's has been pretty consistent with food & service. we probably eat there once a month and servers are usually very friendly and efficient. food has been good and we've tried a lot of menu items. love the burgers, flavorful juicy patties and nice buns that hold up. pizzas - check, Hawaiian is a fave, like the crust - crispy, but soft, toppings - enough of them and bacon on Hawaiian is bonus! the chicken fried chicken i a guilty splurge worthy of the calories (and i usually take half home for another meal). the chicken is tender & moist, and breading is not too heavy. dont skip the yummy bacony gravy - get it on the side if you want to control the calories. fish & chips are great too, generous portion of flaky white fish in a not too heavy batter. side salads are usually very fresh & chilled, and you can sub a side salad out for other sides on some items for a slight upcharge. tonight we finally found a menu item we didnt care for. NOTHING wrong with it really, just not to our taste - the lasagna. the meat instead of being the sausage listed tasted like it was the bacon/ground beef mix that they use on some of the burgers. i love bacon, but apparently not in my lasagna. we try to support mom & pop restaurants, but this is one of our favorite chains. read more

Surprisingly good and fun. Our server was VERY animated! The food was good. Service was slower than what I'm used to but it was a busy night. The vegetarian burger wasn't the best I've had but it was ok. There's TV screens EVERYWHERE you look. If you're looking for a fun place to eat, you should consider this place. read more

We go on Monday for the burger special Wow! Great burgers at a fantastic price and fries come with it the seasoned ones are usually great but last visit to much overload on fries with the seasoning ,obviously not a seasoned cook that day probably a new worker ,we couldn't eat them they were ruined ,I'll make a point in the future to specify light seasoning on fries because it really was uneatable . The Reason not 5 stars . read more

Thoroughly enjoyed Bubbas. The greeting at the door to being seated at the the bar was a great experience. Also the bartender...wish I would have gotten her name. Such a sweetheart. She really took care of me...hooked me up with an incredible margarita, which if you know me that's my Number 1 drink. She made that drink very well balanced and just delicious. I'm so pleased with the food as well. I ended up getting a burger and it was great. The only thing I think about it could be done diff is having whole tomatoes on the burger I has a chopped tomato thing going on but it still was tomato so hey can you really say too much. I say go check this place out. The food it made from scratch their in house. I enjoy this place even tho it's a chain restaurant. Give it a try and this Bubbas has the Jams and Tunes in rocking. I'm talking Tina Marie, Prince, Diana Ross, Usher, Hall and Oates. Go for a late night drink on a TH. It's worth it. read more

We have occasionally stopped in for a Friday date night and every time the service is amazing. The pizza is always fresh and crispy crust. The bar staff is always very accommodating and super kind!! The young bartender has taken care of us in our last 3 visits and he's awesome! This location is definitely a Gem! The watermelon Margarita is sooo good and refreshing on a hot day! Definitely give it a try! & The veggie pizza is always one of our favorites! read more

Absolutely amazing! Hands-down the staff and the management are completely 100% professional and friendly! Ordered a meal I wasn't too keen ....on it ...because I don't the ability to taste.... more on the texture and without any hesitation they were happy to replace it with a wonderful delicious fish and chips hands-down my favorite I'll love it I'm coming back! The ambience is great the people are great and again the management is fantastic! read more

Wanted Chicago dog when we came to SA but they weren't open so we settled for second favorite... pizza! This place did NOT disappoint (for a chain). Started with chorizo queso dip with tortilla strips. The tortilla strips were freshly deep fried so lots of crunch. They were also dressed with some type of powder seasoning... yum! The chorizo dip looked more like a ground hamburger (no grease). It also has a side of salsa. Had a nice kick in the back of your throat after the bite was gone. We ordered a meaty meaty pizza with 1/2 bbq sauce and 1/2 tomato sauce. Wow! The crust had so much texture from the corn meal on the bottom to the little pockets of crispy edges to the drizzle of garlic butter all the way around. It had a large amount of toppings and the cheese pull was incredible (look at pic). Large screen TVs everywhere with great music. Only thing that kept them from a fifth star was that we had to ask for plates and Parmesan cheese. That stuff should be delivered to the table right needles the pizza arrives. Staff was very accommodating and the manager Alex came by to check on us twice. Will definitely return. read more

Great server, good was brought out quickly, and it was very tasty. Crispy chicken salad with ranch and potato strings was perfect.

I am happy to say that even though this place was packed they were able to seat us in the bar at a booth right away. Yeah things took a little while but when you are the place to be in town that doesn't bother me. The staff took great care of us. I have to say that these were the best onion rings I have ever had! And their signature sauce is awesome! The bacon cheeseburger was delicious, along with the meat lovers pizza and kids cheese. Fresh hot and delicious would be how I describe our meal, topped off with cold adult beverages. I would definitely come back for a date night with cold drinks or bring the fam back for a meal. The kiddos were fascinated by all the TVs, so don't worry about entertaining them lol. read more

Ok, so I have to admit I had my skepticism about a place named Bubba's prior to my first visit. I've been back at least 5 times for lunch since then. There are many places like Bubba's around SA that offer the same type of Americana fare. There's nothing spectacular about the Bubba's menu. Normally I get the Hot & Spicy chicken sandwich which is very good. Not Popeyes good but very close. They should use more of whatever sauce they use. I tried their burger once and it was just ok. Same with their fish & chips. Neither dish was bad, just fine. The game changer is their onion rings which are *perfect.* (their tator tots are good too). Like literally perfection. Not only are they super crispy, they are impeccably seasoned. And the dipping sauce is great too. Throw in a good beer at reasonable prices (that are comparable to any other like restaurant in the area) & you have a winning recipe. I've only been for lunch but it looks like it gets crowded. Protip: skip the line, & sit in the "garage" if you have a small party. read more

Bubba's 33 is so welcoming. Everyone is so nice. The first time I went there they had issues with their audio and TVs and they were very apologetic. It didn't bother me tho because when they found out it was our first time there they called over the marketing director and we were given a few items for being new. It was very unexpected and very nice. The food is good but I have to say the pizza is amazing!! I'm originally from NY and it's hard to find good pizza but Bubba's is definitely my number 2. (After NY pizza lol) The TVs and audio are now fixed and it was so much fun watching the games there. I will continue to visit this establishment and I highly recommend it!! read more

Ok, so I didn't get to do my very first review very well. I was with my friends but this time I came alone. I ordered the blue ocean long Island ice tea and it tastes like what a blue ocean would taste like without all the yuck. Very refreshing and it made me smile! I also ordered the California chicken with a side salad and Cole slaw. Their side salad looks amazing! It has potato straws, eggs, cheese and lettuce. I subtracted the onions and tomato. But I know it's still gonna be great. When I ate here before I had the salmon salad and it blew me away! Cheers, y'all! read more

How the mighty have fallen. So. I've been here a few times and didn't update my review but tonight I will. Here we go. Every. Single. Time. The hostess has been less than inviting. Why would you put someone that unwelcoming at your door? I have started getting anxiety just coming here. I'll have made a mental note to come only during lunch. Our waitress was new and although sweet she was not attentive or able to get the order correct. Our server also stopped with our food and spoke to a guest for a few seconds all while he leaned over and looked at our food, with no mask. Anxiety level was off the ropes. The food has suffered also. Things looked sad and the fries were cold. The BOH is not on it's A game as before in the past. So. Good luck. read more

Service was great--attentive, friendly, but not overbearing or MIA--just right. Okay, so the Tavern is in downtown San Antonio, so don't expect hometown pricing. But I gotta say--the $25 brisket meal was worth it! Huge serving (at least a half pound) Great flavor, just enough 'moist' without being too fatty. The sides were great. I'm a skinny dude, but eat a lot--yet I still couldn't finish :) The restaurant is situated on a quieter corner of downtown San Antonio, ensconced in the Crockett Hotel, which is a pretty nice joint in and of itself. read more

Went here with the family while on vacation. Everyone enjoyed their food and it has a cool environment.

My man's dream come true! Got to eat in the GARAGE Bar surrounded by huge TVs, quirky memorabilia, & fun music. Bubbas 33 is the perfect spot to watch the game or bring the whole family out to lunch or dinner. Highly recommend the Spicy Habanero Burger. Super delish, if you can take the heat!! If not the shrimp Po Boy is also excellent. We will definitely be coming back. LOVE this place! read more

Bubba's 33 - AWESOME Spicy Habanero Burger - Burgers Near Me - Universal City, Texas

This place is very good for what it is. An American style eats restaurant, you'll get a healthy serving of whatever item you pull off the menu. I did have a problem with cold fries when I went there, but I doubt that would be a recurrent problem. Haven't really been back since then just because this isn't my favorite type of restaurant. But the ambiance is very much like any Applebee's type clones with the dark wood, etc. The service was great, no complaints there! read more

Really nice spot to eat when you want beer and food. Our waiter was diamond, she took her job pretty seriously but In a good way. She was trainer someone on the job. We were recommended to try the blue ocean margarita, and I was really surprised. It was strong and delicious. Not a bad spend. The food was fresh and hot, if you try the Chicken fried chicken, get the loaded garlic mash potatoes. They add bacon to it! If you want an appetizer, I recommend the fried pickles they're nice and crispy and delicious with the bubba sauce. (Do not forget the bubba sauce) This place gets really busy so call ahead of time to check wait times. If not go to the first come first seated area. It has a bar. It's to the left when you enter the building. read more

The place is amazing in design with all the tv's and it was pretty amazing with the fancy theme but the service was HORRIBLE, the lady who served our food was completely rude and out of line and got my drink completely wrong as I asked her for a root beer but instead was given SPRITE. Might never come here again. Fix your service please read more

Was told the wait time would be 15-25 mins for a party of 11. 35 minutes later was sat at two different tables. What's the purpose of waiting when they sat us at two different tables that were available the whole time we were waiting? Bad service, bad experience. Very disorganized. Ended up leaving since party couldn't be sat together. Waste of time! read more

Great service today. Came in due to an email about St Patrick's Day specials for food, drinks, and prizes. There were none of those The pizza was delicious as always, but it was missing the garlic sauce on the crust that puts it over the top. The loaded fries had no queso even though listed on the menu so we had to request it. The Buffalo Chicken sandwich was good. The bun was a little sweet for my personal taste. My hubby had the boneless wings and really enjoyed them. read more
