The newly launched Bubba’s Steaks and Shakes is adding flavor to Harleysville with its signature sandwiches, burgers and old-fashioned milkshakes served in a nostalgic, diner-style environment.
On April 22, Bubba’s Steaks and Shakes opened their new location on Main Street in Harleysville.
Locals have taken a liking to the outdoor seating that they provide, as well.
We decided to try some of their classic items to review, as they were the most popular and suggested by the staff.
We ordered a crispy Buffalo chicken cheesesteak with Cheese Whiz fries, alongside a fruity pebble milkshake.
All of these items were exceptionally delicious, and the portion sizes are large.
You get your money’s worth.
The star of the show is the crispy buffalo chicken cheesesteak.
On a 12-inch baguette roll, crispy chicken is lathered in buffalo sauce and ranch dressing with warm American cheese melted on the bread.
We were pleased by this item, and the flavors were bursting. This, we gave 9.5/10.
The only thing that could be improved is a little more toasted bread for a crispy bite.
The next item that we tried was the Cheese Whiz fries. It came with classic crinkle-cut fries with Cheese Whiz sauce on the side. We gave this a 5/10.
It was a nostalgic and simple taste for cheese fries, however, Iwe don’t think we would order them again.
Lastly, to wash it all down, the Fruity Pebbles milkshake.
It is a creamy vanilla milkshake with crunchy fruity pebbles with whipped cream and a cherry.
This unique milkshake was perfectly sweet and the crunch factor added to the overall drink. We gave this milkshake a 9/10.
Bubba’s offers two main kinds of steak sandwiches, a chicken cheesesteak and a classic cheesesteak.
The cheesesteaks are roughly 12 inches long and placed on a fluffy baguette roll. Bubba’s has over 35 different varieties of cheesesteaks, ranging from a one-pound cheesesteak, a cheesesteak hoagie and even a pizza cheesesteak.
While Bubba’s has a relatively small dine-in area, it offers a larger outdoor seating area where customers can enjoy the sunlight and cool breeze while they enjoy a classic cheesesteak.
Despite the inside restaurant being relatively small, containing only three to four tables, the outside seating area holds another eight tables.
The outside seating area is a great place for families or friends to catch up while they devour a cheesesteak and milkshake.
Bubba’s seating areas were spotless, and the tables and chairs looked brand new.
The outside seating was just as spotless, with new tables and fresh umbrellas, which really helps make the restaurant pop.
Overall, Bubba’s is bringing classic, nostalgic flavors to Harleysville and is definitely a place to try.
