I loved the fish and shrimp, but the boudin balls were not good and the hush puppies were meh. Kind of hit and miss. Very small dining room. Most folks were getting to go.

Bubba's was a delicious surprise. A no-frills place with amazing food. We had the Seafood Sampler & 2pc Catfish Platter with a Crawfish Fried Pie. Everything was fresh, lightly breaded and fried to perfection. Generous portions at a very reasonable price. We had our lunch at one of the cozy tables. It's small inside, but who cares, the food is awesome and you can order it to go.
Gage was friendly and patient...it took me a while to decide what I wanted....so many good choices!
Bubba's is a definite must try!

This has got to be the best southern seafood I've ever gone to! The catfish was cooked and seasoned perfectly, the fried crawfish tails were rich in flavor and had the perfect crunch, oh, and the server was an absolute gentleman. If I could give it more stars, I definitely would.

Took my mom, dad, and aunt. Seating is tight inside, but with the help of nice patrons, we made it work. There are picnic tables outside. We were there when UT was dark, so they wanted to stay inside. Everyone loved the food! The Facebook special fed 3 adults. I got my own 3 piece catfish with coleslaw and we took it home as leftovers. Every bit if it got eaten! I would bring the family here again!

Parking: Pulling up to the joint and parking was easy. But, pulling out from the hole-in-the-wall building and onto the road is a little tricky. Especially, if you can't see around the vehicle parked next to you.

Small place that's big on flavor. The guy that took our order had a slight southern drawl. He quickly had our food out to us and it was great. Hot and fresh and the hush puppies are so good as good as my mother in laws and hers are the best.

Just left from here and OMG this catfish is delicious! Breaded and fried to perfection for that amazing crunch when you bite into it! Seasoned perfectly as well! Panko breaded fried shrimp was just as amazing! Bomb hush puppies to the perfect sweet tea! Definitely glad we came here as we had seen it on our way to Garven Gardens. Inside was clean and had a laid back, cozy decor. A must stop when in Hot Springs!

I live out of town, so this was my first time coming here. We had heard about it and I was craving catfish so much. OMG....this place and the service did NOT disappoint. My family is full of cooks and we know good food. My husband is a food critic and he said that this fish was cooked to perfection and just the way he likes it. It was hot, REAL catfish, crunchy, served with lemon and red onion....our favorites with fish. Even my 3 year old daughter who is very picky kept asking for more. We are coming back!!!!
