Bubba's Shrimp Shack Tappahannock

GOOD fresh fish, not overly breaded.
Staff were a delight to interact with.
I’ll stop here on each visit through town, and other times on a whim. 🙂

Found this place driving by and not from around here. Walked in to the most inviting atmosphere and the vibe was so welcoming. The staff was astounding! I wish i lived closer but will visit when in the area. Their special sauce was something out of this world as well. So good! Clean place and it shows how much they enjoy doing this with the quality of food!

This is a cute little restaurant snuggled in a shopping center. The decor is bright and inviting. The large baskets are more than enough for one person and my only complaint is that they don't offer the option of beer batter. Otherwise the food is delicious. The atmosphere is quaint and the service is excellent. Everyone there smiled and asked how we were doing and made the dining experience delightful

I visited Bubba’s Shrimp Shack on Friday 8/1/2025 and the food and service was excellent. I had the fish and shrimp and my fiancé had the cake cakes and shrimp. The food was fresh, hot and cooked just right. We will visit every time we come through Tappahannock and we may even do a day trip when we want a good seafood spot to have dinner. Please don’t sleep on this restaurant because it will not disappoint you. I highly recommend!!

Good food. Friendly service. If you are passing through on US 17, stop here instead of the fast food places. Better food and friendly staff.

The She Crab Soup is TO DIE FOR. Crab bisque with crab meat on the bottom and top! Their hush puppies store the perfect mix of sweet and bready flavor. The staff is very kind and personable, and answered any questions we had about the menu.

Was looking for a good place to eat when traveling through and checked this place out. Great food and wonderful owner and service. They went out of their way to make the experience pleasant.

This place was great. Great food, fried okra was delicious. Fried flounder and catfish both excellent.

Friendly staff. Piping hot food. Generous portions!

If you're looking for seafood, they've got it!! (And they have chicken tenders for us picky people, too!)

We tried the shrimp and flounder. I'm told they were delicious. Yummy hush puppies, too.
