We enjoy all of the foods we’ve trued at Bubba Jack’s but we’re partial to their taco salad. The taco shell, which they make their is crispy and not greasy, and the taco meat is plentiful and beautifully seasoned.. we would highly recommend…

My wife and I both had the taco salad. I will have to say that it was better than any taco salad that you will buy at any Mexican restaurant. Great job guy. We’ll be back the next time we visit.

The place was packed with a constant flow of customers in and out. We got there right at 1030 and wanted breakfast but they just switched over to lunch. There was no wait for our table but because it was so busy some folks had to wait a couple of minutes for a table. We were there for about 90 minutes, maybe a little longer. It took about an hour for us to order and get our food. We understand it's busy and maybe the timing of the changeover from breakfast to lunch but that seemed a little bit of a long wait time. However, the food was very good. Wisconsin cheese curds were a knockout. Grilled chicken was solid. Fries were decent. Chicken tenders I'm told were good by the 13-year-old, same with the grilled cheese. Others got fried pickles, a club sandwich, steak sandwich, and something else. All said their food was really good. Good to big-sized portions. All 4 other individuals got Sweet tea and there were no complaints. They had Coke products so I opted for a Dr. Pepper, it was not good I barely drank any of it. I'm not sure if the syrup was off or they were using unfiltered tap water but it did not taste good at all. It wasn't the carbonation it was definitely something else. All in all, we would go back and we would recommend.

The food is everything you want from a southern-style restaurant—rich flavors, generous portions, and made with real heart. Whether it’s the fried chicken, shrimp, or mullet, every bite tastes like home. The atmosphere is just as good—laid-back, welcoming, and full of character. You walk in and feel like family right away. I’d 100% recommend stopping by. It’s the kind of place that reminds you why southern food and southern hospitality are second to none.
