    Hmm....after riding around cookeville for what seemed to be forever trying to decide what we wanted to eat, we came across this place on Yelp! We called prior to visiting to ensure they could do what we wanted based off the type of establishment this is. The people who work here were very friendly and the establishment was really clean. Reminded you of a seafood shop on someone's coast. We browsed the menu, inquired about suggestions, and settled for the "Hoot Plate" but instead of the steamed shrimp I requested for it to be friend. According to the menu it states the "Hoot plate" was $21.99 which included "bubbas way" (1 piece of corn, 1 piece of andouille sausage, and 2 red potatoes) along with the steamed shrimp. In order for them to prepare it fried I needed to pay an up charge, which was fine. So I'm under the impression that I would be charged $21.99 plus an additional to prepare the shrimp fried. When it was all said and done we were charged $36.17, to find that everything was run up individually. Price breakdown.... $19.99 for shrimp, $3.99 to fry it, $1.99 for drink and $6.99 for 1 piece of corn, 1 1/2 inch of sausage, and 2 quarter sized hush puppies. For $6.99 I honestly would expect a little more considering the amount I'm paying for the add on. My issue with this is why was I charged to get "bubbas way" when in the "hoot plate" bubbas way was included in pricing. I'm aware that fresh and good seafood is pricey, but to pay this and be given this amount of a side seems a bit stingy if you ask me. Overall, the shrimp was really good it could stand a little more salt, which she offered "slap ya mama" seasoning for us to sprinkle on it. The huspuppies were good, corn was unseasoned, and the andouille aqua sage was a tease considering the amount given.

    Absolutely delicious. Some of the best seafood I've ever had in Tennessee. The service was phenomenal and they were so nice! Wish I lived closer I'd definitely come by more often

    This is a really neat place! This is like a little slice of the gulf right in the middle of Cookeville. A really neat find. My dad and I saw a flyer for Bubba Gandy's while walking through Dogwood Park and decided to drive over and give it a try. In typical gulf style, you can have it steamed there and eat it, or you can buy it and take it home to fix yourself. It is not a cheap place obviously, due to what you are getting. They have a large selection of fresh seafood that is mostly from the gulf it seemed like. It was all very fresh and seemed to be a good quality. We tried the snapper and the royal red shrimp. It was seriously delicious. We had them fix it for us there and it was done just right. The andouille sausage was also spot on. Delicious!! I really enjoyed this place and if I could I would be a daily customer It was SO GOOD!!!!!!!! Please support this awesome, pretty new local business and give this place a try!!

    After checking it out about a week ago we went for lunch yesterday. I can not say enough good things about it my royal red shrimp PO boy was sooooo good and my sis in law had the grouper sandwich also delish! I can't wait to take my husband here. We will definitely be back! They have a nice selection, next time I'm bringing home fish to cook and some soup.

    The seafood comes no fresher unless you run to coast and buy yourself. Staff is very knowledgeable and extremely kind.
