Since 1981, this family-owned restaurant has been dishing out classic Southern comfort food made using time-honored recipes passed down over generations.
Once inside, you'll be transported straight back to the 1950s.
TripAdvisor/Coyote-Travelerz
Black and white checkered floors, red leather chairs, and neon signs offer a heavy dose of nostalgia for days long gone.
As for the menu, it's far from fancy - but that's what we love about it.
Bubba's Dallas
Fried chicken is the star of the show, with leg, wing, thigh, and breast pieces available (both white and dark meat.) Plates come with either one, two, or three pieces, and include veggies and either a yeast roll or cornbread.
