Bubba Gumbo’s

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!

Authentic southern food and venue. Genevieve was great explaining the menu and local foods. The food was very tasty and well cooked. No need to book but we had a short wait so grabbed a drink at the bar. The place is clean, has character and welcoming to all (including 2 gays from Scotland). It was the only place we could find on the water with views and a great sunset. Overall the food is affordable, however be warned if you go for the catch of the day it can become pricey (about $35 for catch of the day). We had 2 starters, 2 catch of the day and a key lime pie between us and it was £105. You’ll leave with sticky fingers and a full belly.

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!

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.

Found this place after I cancelled a boat tour, the place was super packed inside and outside but I found a seat at the bar and was swiftly served my food and drinks! Everyone was so welcoming as well. Dog friendly too! Was able to bring my little pup inside and she sat on my lap with no issues. I also left my debit card there on accident and the staff kept it for me until next day! Also beautiful outdoor 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.

Best fried shrimp we’ve had on the island. And best hush puppies! Only sad thing is you get a smaller portion of the shrimp. Nothing fancy here, we ate outdoors and it’s like eating at a fish camp, but we love it and come here every year.

Bubba Gump was hands down one of the best meals I’ve ever had! The food was fresh, flavorful, and came out hot and perfectly cooked. You can really tell they take pride in what they serve. There was a small mishap in the kitchen that caused a slight delay with our food, but the way the staff handled it blew us away. They were incredibly kind, upfront, and went above and beyond to make it right without us even asking. You don’t see that level of genuine hospitality everywhere. Between the fun atmosphere, delicious food, and truly generous service, I’d recommend this place to anyone looking for a great time and a great meal. Can’t wait to come back!
