about
Bubba and his son Mac opened the famous Bubba Mac Shack in Somers Point NJ in early 2000. They envisioned a club of their own to bring together many of the great blues acts; including Bubba's own Bubba Mac Blues Band. A passionate musician, Bubba has traveled to many of the hallowed blues halls around the world. This influence was palpable in the flavor of the Shack's food, entertainment lineup and décor. Bubba and Mac's goal was to create a restaurant that was New Orleans meets South Jersey, upscale but down-home. The Shack built for musicians held five bars and three stages. Hundreds of nationally recorded blues acts including James Cotton, Levon Helm and the Barnburners, Bob Margolin's Rolling Fork Review, and the Radiators amongst others, rocked the Shack day and night. A TV show was created called "Live at the Bubba Mac Shack" to showcase the shack's unique blend of auditory and culinary delights. The show featured clips of great acts performing live, as well as cooking segments. Without missing a beat, Bubba and Mac opened the second Bubba Mac Shack located between ninth and 10th St on the Ocean City Boardwalk. The popularity of the Bubba Mac Shack was reflected in the returning customers showcasing their favorite Bubba Mac tee shirt. The second restaurant resembled the old Somers Point location with the red-and-white striped awnings, Blues Brothers statues, stuffed alligators and, of course, local artist Nancy Palermo's famous murals spicing up the Shack's exterior.
