Went in expecting an experience similar or other Darden staples such as Olive Garden and Longhorn Steakhouse- not that there would have been anything wrong with that- but was pleasantly surprised. There was nothing about the place that made it feel "commercial." Great drinks- we each enjoyed an old fashioned (except chipped ice really reduces the enjoyment as it melts too fast- recommend large cubes or spheres). They also had a great selection of wines, which we got a flight to split with our meal. We had a great server, Ashley, who had an easy-going and fun personality and also was very knowledgeable about the food and drink offerings and made wonderful suggestions. We started with lump crab and shrimp stuffed mushrooms. Although it took longer than expected, it gave us time to dissect the menu and enjoy our drinks. When they arrived they were bubbly hot and so tender and flavorful on the inside and encased in crisp charred coating on the outside giving it a nice texture dichotomy. Note: Forgot to snap pic- sorry. For our entrees we opted to split the shrimp and grits, adding a side of grilled sea scallops. Not normally a fan of grits, I'm always willing to try again and I am glad that I did. They were smooth, creamy, buttery, and cheesy. The shrimp were lightly seasoned and grilled beautifully. Hunks of chorizo and tomato were spread across the top along with a decadent cream sauce. In addition we ordered a flatbread off of "shareable" section of the menu that Ashley had suggested: the roasted corn and spiced bacon. It was absolutely fantastic. Emphasis on "flat" in flatbread (which is my preference- cracker thin, I say!). The pairing of sweetcorn and spiced-bacon worked so well together! Just a delicious bite that had deep flavor in a thin package! Finally, their desserts are served in these little shot glasses and all looked absolutely decadent! We did let Ashley talk us into a couple to take home.

    Bubba's Big Deck on the Guadalupe River!…read more Bubba's used to located in Gruene along the river and was washed out in floods way too many times to even count. They would rebuild, just for another flood to hit again. Well, the finally gave up. ... Until... Bubba's found the old Abbot's River Outfitter location along River Road. It really is a perfect location. I love that they have a second bar along closer to the river to spread the crowd out. The bar is open air, laid back, perfect for tourists or the local crowd... very biker friendly. If they still have jerky options, grab a variety. We did, and the jerky was good enough for me to mention if that says anything. You know, when out in the middle of the country, you just gotta take advantage of what's available if the munchies arise. Might as well grab another ice cold beer too! My best friend and I have always loved hitting up Bubba's and we are happy to see they made a comeback!

    This review is for other bands that might be thinking about playing at this venue…read more Directions: Finding the place from San Antonio is not difficult. Directions on the web appear to be accurate. From San Antonio, take I35N. Take the Rueckle Rd/337 exit and at the stop light go left across I35. Follow 337 until you see River Road. Turn left onto River Road and follow it until you see Bubba's on your right. Load-In: Load-in is not bad. Coming down River Road, there is a short driveway in front of the stage that you can pull off on to unload. It will take you up to the level of the stage (which is considerably above street height) and you can transfer your gear from there to the stage. Although most of the path is planked with wood, you will have to negotiate some steps to get everything onto the stage. Once you've completed unloading, you can move your vehicle on the driveway so that it's out of the sight lines from the stands across the street and just leave it in place. Stage: Bubba's stage is an unusual conformation. It's outdoors, located between the two main buildings and set right in front of a tall rock face. The stage is covered and protected from the sun except in the late afternoon, when stage right gets plenty of direct sunlight. In fact, the sun was so strong that gear on our pedalboard overheated and shut down. We found that directing a fan to blow directly on it solved that problem. The stage itself is two levels - a lower front platform about five feet deep and a higher rear platform slightly less deep. Stage right has an extension of the lower level out in front of it which we used to put the stage-right PA stacks on. There is no place to put the stage-left stacks except on the lower front platform. This significantly reduces the space for the band. As a three-piece band, however, we had no problem at all with fitting comfortably on the stage. The rear platform is perhaps two feet higher than the front platform and makes a nice drum riser. Our drummer had no problem putting his kit up there. The power situation is somewhat funky. There is an outlet hidden on stage right, but it has no power. There is a white outlet box on stage left with a single pair of outlets that have power. A duo might be able to run a small PA off this. We used it to run our PA tops and some of the stage gear. A mysterious extension cord was draped over the wall at stage left. Our bassist used this to power his gear. There are more outlets on the wall of the building off to the band's left. We used these to run the sub-woofer amps. Everything worked fine and we had no popped breakers during the gig. Be sure to bring extension cords. All outlets were grounded. Lighting: The venue has no stage lights. You will want to bring your own. Sound System: The club has no sound system, so you'll need to bring your own. We ran our entire system and had the unusual experience of being complemented by a number of folks who were pleased that we were loud enough to actually present a real rock experience. You need to understand that your audience is on the other side of River Road, at least 90 feet away so, if you're playing rock, a pair of 15" woofers and satellite tops on poles aren't going to cut it. Layout: The stage is located outdoors between the two main buildings on the side of the road opposite the river. Although there is an open, two-story, covered seating area across the road, it is not directly in front of the band. There is no seating in front of the band on the stage side of the road. The bar is in the large building to the band's left, so there is no problem with bartenders and waitresses being unable to hear orders because of the band. Volume: We were able to bring our volume up to what we considered a comfortable level for a classic rock band with no issues. Note that it took our entire 10,000 watt FOH system to do this. Comfort: This is outdoors, so there is no temperature control. There is no real windbreak for cold days. The stage is covered for summer use, but you will want to bring fans. Be aware that the rock face behind the stage is home for a number of insects, including bees and mosquitos. You will need insect repellent. Miscellaneous: We broadcasted this gig via Facebook Live and had trouble maintaining an Internet connection during the broadcast. Parking: Parking is along the street. Venue Management: Pleasant and easy to work with. We look forward to our next gig here. Overall: We had a very good gig. The crowd was enthusiastic and responsive. We are excited about the prospect of returning for another engagement.
