The jambalaya …

First time visiting Bubba and it did not disappoint! From the best bloody Mary I have had to an amazing shrimp and grits experience. Prices were also very reasonable for a classy, delicious brunch.
A bit loud because the place is packed. I can understand why. Great menu. Hard to choose. I chose Leather and Tobacco as a drink to honor my father. I settled on the fried green tomatoes to start even though i came for the frog legs. Delicious. Cajun pasta really hit the spot. Ordered the Hummingbird Cake. It was my …

Not to be missed. Well …
