Tequila Tom’s Restaurant of the Week
My restaurant of the week is….Bubba’s
Roadhouse and Saloon….
Bubba’s is located on
Pine Island
Road in the
Northwest
Cape.
While I would not refer to Bubba’s as
fine dining, the dining certainly was fine! The atmosphere at Bubba’s is
very ummm….. relaxed. Vibrating lobsters and peanut shells are some of
the items you can find adorning the bar top and floor. We sat at the
bar, enjoying the service and banter of two of Bubba’s finest
bartenders, Kelly and Kimberly, who shall remain nameless, so as to
protect their identity.
We started with a nice fresh salad served
in large stainless steel bowls. The salads are huge! For dinner I had a
N.Y. strip steak grilled to perfection, accompanied by sautéed onions,
white rice and black beans, while my companion, had the prime rib
special with a baked potato large enough to launch through someone’s
windshield. We both took home a sizable doggy bag. Bubba’s is the ONLY
steakhouse on
Pine Island Road
worth stopping at!! I won’t even mention those other lame-ass chain
joints in the vicinity of the only real-deal in this section of the
Cape.
Puleeeze... While Bubba’s menu consists primarily of steaks, chicken and
ribs, there is a nice seafood selection to choose from as well. I cannot
comment on the dessert menu, as I started drinking Grand Marnier, herein
referred to as Grandma, immediately following dinner. I might have had
dessert, I just don’t remember! I’m sure it was good. Hell, after 4
Grandmas and 4 beers, you wouldn’t remember dessert either! HOOWOO!!
But seriously, if you’re ready for a laid
back, good ol’ boy kinda chowin’ down dining experience, swing by
Bubba’s. Excellent food, excellent service! I give Bubba’s 4.75 out of 5
Rolaids. The only reason they didn’t get a perfect score is because I
used to date one of the nameless bartenders, and she DUMPED ME!!!!!!!
Can you imagine??? ME!!! I mean, was she insane?? Out of her mind!!!??
What is not sexy about a bald-headed, beer-bellied mini-van drivin’
kinda guy?? Well, she can explain to Jay Johnson, the owner of this FINE
establishment, why she cost him 25% of a Rolaid. Well nameless
bartender, are you happy now???! Hehehehe…. This is too much damned
fun. Thanks for an awesome place, Jay!!!
