(Warning: you’re going to read the word “local” a lot. Like 10 times).
Dinner at Bubba Gumbo’s isn’t just a “local” thing, it’s a hyper-local,
authentic, and an unpretentious dining experience. Co-Owners Caitlin and
Gordon run Bubba Gumbo’s with sustainability and quality ingredients at
the core of everything they do—especially when it comes to the seafood
they serve. They select the day’s catch, sourced only from a few locally
licensed fisherman that pull up to the marina behind the restaurant, and
use only the freshest shrimp, caught within 5 miles of Tybee (hence hyperlocal).
This clean local seafood is then imaginatively prepared in a restored
but rustically charming (and a bit slanted) 1940s-era fishing shack situated
over the salt marsh at Lazaretto Marina. Don’t be surprised if the local otter
makes an appearance while you’re dining.
The original Bubba Gumbo’s was first opened by Caitlin’s father in 1997,
and the locally born and raised Caitlin reopened the restaurant with her
brother in 2015. Chef Gordon was born in Canada and grew up in Scotland,
where he owned and operated a café. While attending university in North
Carolina, he visited Tybee Island on vacation and never quite left, living
at the Marina and partnering with Caitlin in 2018. Their newest venture
involved the recent opening of a seafood market adjacent to the restaurant,
BG’s Seafood Co-op, featuring local fish and shellfish, fresh off the boat.
