Bubba's 33

May 10, 2026 06:02PM
So I have done these shops a few times, and I did the dining room shop a few months back where I did not order a salad and the shop was accepted with a 10 score. I have a DR visit scheduled for next week.

The guidelines state:
"Minimum order requirements are:
• Order one appetizer and a steak, entrée, pizza, or burger."

But the notes at the top of the report form and in the acceptance email both state that a salad must be ordered with the entree. I have emailed 2x over the past week and sent a message through the shopper contact asking if I have to order a salad, and can't seem to get a response. I generally get a burger and I really would rather just have fries and not a salad.
Anyone know if the salad is a requirement or not? I know it is required for Texas Roadhouse DR visits, which is the same parent company, but a burger and salad just doesn't appeal to me.

I agree with you an burger and salad does not appeal to me either..

Every time I go to Bubba's on an MS, I always get something that will go with a salad (Like the chicken fried chicken. or the fish)

I always get a salad when I do the MS.. Now if I go with my parents (On a non shop) I don't get a salad.

If I had any questions the scheduler would always reply within a few hours...

This is just a suggestion Can you order a burger and fries and order a small side salad?

I know at Bubba's (Not sure about the RH) it is a 99 cent up charge to order a salad as one of your sizes with your meal.

ETA: I thought a salad was required as one of your sizes at Bubba's (as well as TRH)

We just did one. We did not have a salad even when ordering the steak. 10/10 on report.

Yeah, so it took a few weeks and 3 emails for the scheduler to respond to my question (she had been on vacation) but she said no salad required. My shop isn't until next week so no big deal on the delay I guess. I don't know why they don't change the shop notes that say a salad should be ordered. Apparently that's for Texas Roadhouse only.
