I walked into Bubba Gumbo’s after a disappointing dining experience elsewhere and ended up having some of the best shrimp of my life! The hot honey with ranch sauce was amazing.

The service was fun, upbeat, and most importantly helpful.

The views were nice too.

My only complaint is regarding the corn. It was soggy and flavorless. And based on the rest of my experience, I believe bubba can do better!!

See y’all on my next trip!

When bars were bars, this place is about as authentic as you can get. Food was outstanding! I typically do not like hushpuppies but I could have eaten the whole basket! You could tell the seafood was local and fresh. Will definitely return!

There are a bunch of seafood restaurants that are pretty darn good on Tybee Island, but Bubba Gumbo’s is for the discerning foodie. The restaurant rises above and exceeds all expectations for fresh seafood. Their menu features local, sustainable fresh catch, not the novelty beach fare that comes frozen in trucks. Their seafood is delivered by small fishing vessels to the dock every day, straight from the creeks and waterways off the coast of Tybee Island. The restaurant manager can be seen prepping a variety of species unloaded by local fishermen. If you haven’t eaten here, you haven’t experienced fresh fresh.

We had a great meal at Bubba Gumbo’s! Don’t let the marina location fool you — it’s absolutely worth finding. Just follow the signs and you’ll get there. Bella took wonderful care of us, and everyone was so friendly and welcoming. And whatever you do… don’t skip dessert!!

Don’t over think this one. Just go here and order shrimp and the catch of the day. Peel and eat spicy garlic were fantastic. Perfect spot to grab a drink and enjoy the outdoor seating on the docks. Not a tourist trap, you can tell the locals eat here. Will be back

Shrimp and grits! Yum! This place is a family-owned restaurant. Started in the 80s. Went through various owners after a number of years. A few years ago, the daughter came back and returned the restaurant (dive!?) back to its original name. The brother runs the boat yard. Nice restaurants are all fine and dandy, but sometimes a good joint is even better! Really nice staff, great music and delicious food. What’s not to like! Recommend by a local at the Wormsloe Historic Site!

We were staying on a boat at the pier, so this was the perfect spot to enjoy the view and grab dinner. Just a heads-up that seating took much longer than expected — we were told 10–15 minutes, but it ended up being closer to 45. That said, once we were seated, service picked up, food came out fairly quickly, and everything tasted great. We especially loved the burgers and fries. The atmosphere was relaxed and fun, and there are even a couple of friendly cats roaming around that made us smile. We’d definitely come back next time we’re in town!

By far the best shrimp I have had on Tybee.

Pair that with incredible service! Mafe was the best, made sure we had everything we needed before we realized we needed it. She suggested the spicy garlic steamed shrimp, did not disappoint.

Great place to watch the sunset as well, plenty of parking. If you are going anywhere else on Tybee for seafood, you’re not getting the best of the area.

Long wait (45 min) on a Friday night, saw a river otter on the dock. Good food, shrimp and grits were ample-sized and tasty, kids liked the fish sticks and hush puppies. Burger was ok, not great. Highly recommend for sunset views.

Hi,

A YouTube reviewer highly recommended this place. I got the chance to dine in at this place because we were traveling to FL from NC.

Appearance: The restaurant is old and worn down. I expected it to be updated and clean because of how popular this place is. Hopefully they will remodeling in the future.

Seating: Apparently, it’s open seating and you can pick your own table. So, it was simple to do.

Service: The waiter Rob recommended various meals because it was our first time eating there. He brought our water. He was kind and respectful. I had to go to him for my side dressing.
He couldn’t answer my questions about how the gumbo is cooked. I even recommended to him to visit Louisiana because there’s good food and the gumbo is soupy and delicious.

Food: The food was cold and wasn’t very flavorful. The grilled shrimps were ok, bland coleslaw, and the fries were crunchy and good but cold.
I wish we have known the gumbo was a stew. It wasn’t soupy. The waiter could have explained this to us because we wouldn’t have ordered it. It wasn’t good because it lacked seasoning and it was too thick for gumbo.

I was disappointed because I had high expectations for this restaurant, but found that this place doesn’t serve good food. I don’t recommend this place if you’re looking for good hot flavorful food. If you want cold food, then this is the place for you.

I wish the waiter would have more empathy for the food being cold and asks us if we wanted to speak to his manager. It would have been nice to have been comp or discounted our ticket.
Instead he said why I didn’t inform him because he was somewhere else. I traveled more than 2-hours, so I was hungry. I would have to wait longer for my food. I didn’t feel like driving somewhere else, then wait again for food. So, I added salt and ate the food.

Hopefully the owner reads this review.
