Customer Reviews

"Of course we were tourist, seen all the good Google reviews on here so figured we would try it out. Kid friendly, wasn't packed. Food came fast & was good! Ate the leftovers for dinner. Was nice to have someone take our photos. Even though it was like $60, nice keep sakes though. Will probably be back next vacation time. Also love our souvenir cups that we brought back to Ohio."

"We stopped by Bubba's Fish Camp & Smokehouse when it wasn't busy at all. We ordered the beet salad, fried pickles, fish bites with fries, and mac and cheese with fries for the kids. Unfortunately, everything was overwhelmingly salty. The fish bites had good flavor once you got past the heavy salty breading, but the mac and cheese was disappointing--my kids, who usually love it, didn't even want to finish their small portion. The beet salad came out with wilted greens and what tasted like day-old beets; we had to send it back because it wasn't edible. To their credit, the staff removed it from our bill and even offered us something on the house, which we declined. Service was quick and the management was friendly, which we appreciated. We left most of our fries behind and walked away hoping this was just an off night for the kitchen."

- Mike M.

"Pam was our server and was absolutely amazing. The food was outstanding and the portions were extremely large. Food was delicious and we're looking forward to leftovers. Ordered the smoked ribeye and the ribs with side of scallops and oysters knowing we'd be bringing some food back home. Also thanks to the manager Jim for his hospitality."

- Chris S.

"The food and service was exceptional when we went to eat here. John-Paul who took care of us was excellent. He made sure we had everything we needed, continually checked in on us, and made sure our cups were never empty, even when he had several tables to take care of. We really enjoyed the food. We had the brisket fries as an appetizer and then I had the rib plate with fries and coleslaw while my fiancee had the brisket burger as our entrees for lunch. We are definitely going again. The smokey flavors is exactly what we wanted and with fall off the bone ribs, you can't go wrong."

- Loralee V.

"This was a fun place to stop for lunch on our way back to NC. We picked it at random and it ended up being an excellent choice. The food was really good! There were so many menu items I wanted to try, as everything sounded delicious. The service was wonderful. Our server was very attentive and super friendly. The atmosphere was attention grabbing and fun. This is definitely a place we'll return to."

"Wish I would have taken a photo of my main course, but it looked so good I dug into it right away. Waitress seemed a little new as she did not keep up with refills well, or keep track of who ordered what. Always had to ask when she came back. She was very friendly though and easy to work with. This place combines two amazing things. Seafood and smokehouse. Just wish the shirts they have for sale said Myrtle Beach on them. I would have bought one if it had."

- Scot S.

"My wife and I were greeted with an opened door and a smile. We were immediately seated in what I estimate 80% full room. Our waiter, John Paul was attentive and non invasive and retrieved our drinks almost immediately. We decided to split a rack of ribs and sides along with a side order of fried and skewered shrimp. The best of two worlds. The ribs are fall of the bone delicious. You can try to be proper and us a knife and fork, but the most effective method is use your hands. They furnish moist wipes. This was our second visit and it was great. Our next trip to myrtle beach will include bubbles! Thanks john Paul, it was great..."
