I am so picky when it comes to atmosphere, food, price, and service of a restaurant. I was blown away with the seating on the deck. We were as close to the water as possible, with just a breathtaking view! I am yet to find something like this anywhere else in VB. Boats would pull up alongside us and order off the menu. We were that close!!! The menu is totally reasonable. The Bubba's burger (9.95) and the chicken sandwich were amazing!!! The calamari was great too. I didn't like the soft shell crab sandwich b/c it didn't have much taste---we've been there twice now. I will take every visitor into town to this place----it is a must see and a must eat. The people we brought said over and over again, "I can't believe how gorgeous this is---its perfect!!!' The wait was not bad at all and the service the first time was great. The second time we went we waited quite a while for our food---but with the view and conversation we didn't really notice. That was our only criticism. It is very casual and child friendly. It is also a great spot for a date. The deck is the place to be! Enjoy!!!!
Pros: outdoor seating as close to the water as you can get, price is very reasonable, good food
Cons: deck is not very big and the kitchen was slow the second time around

Last week I visited Bubba's and talked with one of the responsible employees to arrange a luncheon we were planning to have with a group of friends. I chose the menu (green salad, grilled tuna or fried flounder, coke or soda, dessert, coffee or tea) and asked the price of the menu per person. The lady told me the total price was 29 $. I asked if tax was included and she replied: yes. Unfortunately I was not wise enough to ask if gratuity was included, neither did I make a contract to cover all details. I told her I liked the price, it was a deal 24 persons would attend the luncheon. Then we had the luncheon today. The main dish was good, salad was OK and dessert was poor. They somehow managed to make a dessert they call "German chocolate cheese cake" without using any chocolate or cheese. I liked the service, young and cheerful waitresses did a good job. The real surprise was at the end, when they handed out the bill. Unlike our deal, they had charged 20% gratuity and 5% tax. Now every attendee should pay 38.5 Dollars. I wanted to talk with the lady I made the deal but I was told she was on leave. I talked with another lady, who introduced herself as the manager. She had such a mechanical approach and she was not cooperative at all. She kept saying she was righteous, we should have known about gratuity and the tax and they were damn right charging for them. I am not a US citizen. I temporarily reside in Virginia Beach. In the country where I came from, when you ask a restaurant in advance, how much you are going to pay during the party you plan to make, they give you a price that includes everything. Apparently this is not the case for Bubba's. Either they are not professional enough to explain this important detail to costumers or they choose not to mention this on purpose. Today I felt cheated in Bubba's. They also made me pay for 5 persons who did not attend the luncheon. I could choose not to. There was no contract, but I paid, because my word ic contract.
Pros: View, service
Cons: Management, ambiance
