Nice little place to eat & drink while listening local live music. Do not expect high quality food but it's fine and reasonably priced.

Been going to Bubba's for years. Its been up and down, but here recently food and service has been phenomenal! Not a bad option on the menu at all and the waitresses were great! Every Friday and Saturday night during the summer, you can usually catch a great band playing.

Yesterday, 08/25/23 we put in our Pontoon Boat and headed to Bubba Brews for Lunch as it is a place we frequent. As we were pulling in we notice one of the pontoons had filled with water. Figured this would be an easy fix since we were at a Marina and they had unoccupied lifts. Just a matter of placing it on a lift, raising it and removing the drain plug. I went into the Marina store and explained my issue to the female employee working. She was immediately the nastiest person you could ever meet. She said they are not my lifts so I cant give you permission to use them. I said, " whose are they?" she said whoever rents them. I told her a fellow boater would probably not have a problem letting me use it, she said probably not. I told her it would prevent the boat from possibly sinking. She said, "If it sinks we will call in a diver and it will be costly to you." I told her that i had insurance however, we can easily prevent the boat from sinking. I pulled the boat to a lift and began to drain the pontoon. I was then met by the maintenance guy and GM. They were not very willing to help and were concerned about damage to the lift, but they did let me continue doing what i needed to do. It would be impossible to damage these lifts with a Pontoon Boat. The boating community is known for helping each other out and lending a hand when needed, which is always good for anyone in life to follow. Bubba Brews Marina could care less, they are clearly only concerned with themselves and making money. Believe it or not sinking boats do cause an environmental hazard to the lake in which you had no concern in preventing. I would urge all serious boaters to think twice before patronizing this establishment.

Annually we drive our boat 1 1/2 hours from the opposite end Norris Lake to Experience Bubba Brews. Today was a subdued/quiet/sparse crowd on a perfect Bubbas day. Wonder why? Food! We had lunch and basically decided we won’t make that trip again. Brisket was cold, minimal amount of meat, bun was crushed, presentation poor however fries were great. Our server was very attentive to our needs. Group of 8 next to us left and the wait staff pulled a garbage bin up to their table to dump all the uneaten food. Whatever they ordered looked like dog food. Don’t go there for the food! The food was much better last year. Was there a change of ownership, management or cook?

Great service and food was fantastic. Ignore all the whiny complainers. This place is super busy because it is super good.
My family came here to eat while visiting Tennessee and enjoyed food, drinks, and the atmosphere. We will definitely come to enjoy more of it when come back to Tennessee!! Good time even in the pouring rain.

Great place, awesome service and love the bourbon selection!Only problem is the food is terrible...our late lunch did not taste fresh made, salsa was from a jar and chips were greasy and stale. I would go back for drinks only, never again for food.

We take our entire family - ages 2 - 55, to Bubba's every year and it always exceed our expectations! Great service and everyone always enjoys their food. It's a wide selection of 'American' food, nothing fancy, but delicious! (Great fries too!)
Great place and service. Bourbon bar was excellent! Great assortment of bourbons. Easy access by boat and quick service.
