I second Bubba's. Waiter was attentive and prices are really good for what you get. A little slow with drinks (draft) but not too bad. I love the music video concept (always enjoyed that when we are there at different locations).

Went to Bubba's today with my wife and 92 YO mom (belated Mother's Day). Couldn't be more impressed. Food was great. Portions are huge. Service outstanding. Prices good.

Most definitely will return.

Glad to hear we've got such a great addition to the area.

We went to Bubba's with some friends a couple of nights ago. Got on the waiting list using their app and bypassed most of the crowd waiting for tables. Food, drinks and service was very good, but we thought the pizza was outstanding.

At 3PM, it's after lunch and heading towards dinner.

He just needs to go to Denny's or IHOP or The Kettle if he wants breakfast all day.

Yeah. Just kind of a weird complaint. It's like being upset that a steakhouse isn't open at 6AM.

What is wrong with a good steak for breakfast?

Not complaining.
Brunch menus are usually different.

This board is full of plebs, they just made fun of me when I criticized H-E-B because they literally didn't understand what supermarkets are supposed to be like. (Why staff left all the comments up on the thread, no idea).

Tried Bubba 33 Thursday night with 3 of us. Even with the app checkin thing we waited 15 minutes for a table. They were very busy. Service was pretty excellent. I had the Tony V Pizza and it was stellar! My wife tried the monty cristo and she says it is the best one she has had since Bennigen's. My son said the burger was great as well.

I also had a $4 Long Island Iced Tea that was pretty darn good especially at that price. The whole meal was just at $100 and we all took leftovers home so overall a great experience.

I love a good Monte Cristo.

How is the noise level in there? Does it seem like there's anywhere to sit that you can be positioned away from a TV?

Not really- it is pretty loud. We actually enjoyed most of the music and they have videos showing with the music. I learned that my 26 year old had heard about the Money for Nothing video but never actually watched it haha.

It might just be a date night place for us then. Malcolm really can't handle all that and focus on a meal right now.

We were there last night at about the same time (also saw the Money for Nothing music video). It was crazy busy, mostly because of a couple HUGE parties (20+) waiting to be seated.

I joined the waitlist on the app when I left the house (6:05pm) was quoted a 10-20 minute wait, arrived and checked in at 6:21pm, and was seated at 6:32pm (party of 4).

My kids love the music videos. It's like living in the 80s…according to them.

Party of 2 at Bubba's 33 tonight - joined waitlist as we left the house at 4:50, at the restaurant at 5:00, seated at 5:05, ordered food at 5:20, food out (hot and fresh!) in under 20m, wrapped up, paid and walked to Cinemark in time for our 6:20 show.

Husband and I had an anniversary dinner at DeBaca last night. He's in the cattle business so he was anxious to try their Fresian steaks. I had a filet and he had a rib eye. We both thought they were the best steaks we have had in town. They were cooked perfectly with a nice crust and very flavorful. Service was excellent also.

You'll be hard pressed to find anything open after 10 pm that's not Taco Bell-tier. Even before COVID, your local options didn't go much beyond Applebee's.

Kettle? Not nice, but okayish.

Is Fuego no longer open late? I certainly hit that place hard back in more carefree days (nights?)

Went to 1860 Italia. They are open to 11. Said they'd stay open until we left.

I've lived in almost every Texas city suburb and I can't remember a restaurant open past 11pm. Most bars even closed at midnight.

Hard-pressed, not impossible.

Hermanos Marquez (formerly Mi Pueblito) is my go-to in Bryan/College Station now.

And shoutout to Robertson County, but Sargento's in Franklin is a very solid establishment with consistently good food and service.
It's the only Tex-Mex place my partner and I go to. Good variety, consisently prepared....

It's my number one. Everything on the menu is great. Carne Guisada being at the top of the list.

My love for Red's Ice House may have dropped a few notches after noticing this in the name…

Do they even serve corn dogs?

Went to Madden's 2.0 last night. It was excellent as I remembered. Price point is great, high quality food, great drinks, service was attentive. Maybe only thing of note was that the portions are smaller. But I think that is reflected in the price point. No biggie to me, but maybe for some they would need to get a soup + entree to fill up.
