Bubba Gumbo’s - Tybee Island

We wanted somewhere quiet and low-key for lunch on Christmas Eve skipped downtown for Bubba Gumbo's dockside. We love sitting outside on the dock and looking out at the marsh and the boats. If you want a water side setting that is authentic, this is your place. Off season is the best, because it's not packed. Our food and our service was excellent, with the food coming of fast and fresh. Hush puppies came out hot and fluffy inside and crispy outside, with delicious honey butter. Their shrimp is fresh and local and is outstanding. We had a 1/2 lb of steamed shrimp and the midly spicy and butterfy seasoning was delicious. The crab sandwich is fresh and not overly bready with just the right amount of crab meat. Drinks were great, with a good selection of micro-brews. Our server was probably one of the best we've experienced, she was pleasant and always there to make sure we were satisfied. If you want to be on the water and have local seafood this is a great choice. Go now, while it's quieter.

This place is absolutely incredible. Family run, insanely good seafood, and the staff are so nice. I've personally never had better gumbo and the grouper came straight off the boat. Couldn't be fresher.

Great food, great service! Shrimp dinner, flounder dinner, and low country boil were all fantastic. Attentiveness of staff was impeccable, too. Will continue to return again and again.

The steamed shrimp came off the boat that morning. So fresh. Never going back to eating store bought shrimp again!

Really good food. Very fresh, well prepared. Great atmosphere. A great spot to relax and eat.
