My husband and I visited Chimney Rock for the holidays last year and he purchased a local hat (only sold at Bubba's) that quickly became his favorite since it was his first time ever traveling to North Carolina. Our dog unfortunately got a hold of it and we thought for sure it was irreplaceable. We reached out to Bubba's to see if they happened to have it in stock still (nearly a year later) and they did! Not only that, but they offered to ship one to us in Texas without hesitation. Made my husband's day and can't wait to come back again when we visit!

The best store in Chimney Rock! A wonderful mix of upscale outdoor clothes/gear, fun teeshirts, candy and random knick-knack gifts. We did not see Bubba, but we did bring our dog to the mural (he waited outside the shop).

They make the Best fudge.. my daughter and I went up there today, our first time at Lake Lure.. we will be going back

This is a neat general store in the heart of Chimney Rock. They have all kinds of items from souvenirs to tools to hiking gear to small candies. They even had a neat little telescoping hot dog roaster. The staff here was also very friendly and helpful.

Fun store to shop. They have all kinds of items like old time toys, candy, moonshine jelly, boots, clothes, cooking utensils, decorative items, etc... We spent an hour in the store and bought a few souvenirs.

Takes me back to an old time toy and and candy store. I plan on taking my 8 year old grandson there to visit. It's a great store for adults as well

Shopping at Bubba's is a must when visiting Chimney Rock. The store has quality merchandise and a helpful staff. I wish Bubba's was open on Sundays.

Probably my favorite shop in town, good mix of practical items for hiking or fishing and novelty items like snacks, gag gifts and souvenirs

What a great souvenir and hiking it stop all-in-one place with an option to buy sweet treats and Something for anybody on your list. I walked in wanting to get candy for my kids and walked out with an "I love Lucy" apron, road trip games for my children, lip balm, Chimney Rock park stickers, and a great long sleeve T-shirt. Great selection on Chimney Rock and Lake Lure apparel. Totally forgot the candy as the store was very well stocked.

Nice little place at Chimney Rock. Love the variety. A must go to store when visiting Chimney Rock, NC

What helpful and friendly staff! Also, great selection of cute shirts, and other vacation general store items. Wish I had the chance to meet Bubba, but maybe another time!

I had fun in this store. I found the best black licorice I ever had!

This was my first time in this store and absolutely enjoyed it. They had such a variety of items and the t-shirts they had were so colorful, well made and unique. We bought four while we were there.

I absolutely love this store!! It made my trip to Chimney Rock! So many neat gadgets to look at and of course buy!!!

This is my favorite store in Chimney Rock! The variety of products is wonderful. There's something for everyone and I had a nice chat with the lady who checked me out about the history of the store. Don't miss Bubba O'Leary's when you're in the area. It's the heart of the town.

Everything you need, including apparel, footwear, and souvenirs for your stay in Chimney Rock, Lake Lure, and Bat Cave NC. Excellent selection and friendly staff including Bubba 🐶

We had a good experience coming here.. The lady was very nice to us and helped us find the matching t-shirts we were looking for.. :-)
The boy working at the cash register was kind and courteous to us..
We had no problems they have an unbelievable amount of stuff, We always buy matching t-shirts.. We found what we were looking for we bought a few other knick-knacks.
Overall, experience was great and will definitely return. :-) and for that reason I gave it 5 stars I highly recommend the place they have all kinds of stuff that you can possibly want for a souvenir for yourself or somebody.. Highly Recommend

Loved the store! They have lots of things. Best part was the selection of vintage candies. Staff was polite and friendly. It was a little overpriced but I guess that’s how it is when you go to a very popular place during high season.

Great place for nostalgia. Toys, candies from your childhood. RC Cola and moon pies! Also, they have a good selection of hot sauces. Even the nuclear “Da Bomb” hot sauce. That’s hard to find besides online, but a famous one. Also they have some logo wear too. Got my daughter a shirt and enjoyed the visit!
