Tubby’s Seafood River Street in Savannah will be closing its downs at the end of December after 25 years

In a bittersweet statement on Facebook Tubby’s, a 25 year foundation in downtown Savannah, GA announced their closing:

Well, we were struggling with how to release this sad news, but our kind friend Jesse Blanco helped us find a way. Tubby’s River Street, lovingly named after our dear friend and partner, Stan “Tubby” Strickland, will permanently close at the end of this month. Tubby’s has been serving up wonderful food, libations and memories on Savannah’s Waterfront for 25 years and we are heartbroken we must say goodbye.

We want to genuinely thank our dedicated and talented staff, many of whom have been with us for years, if not decades. Special shout out to Fred Plantadis(Tubby 2) for your immense dedication and love of Tubby’s. These amazing humans have made Tubby’s magical – as have you, our loyal customers! We are beyond grateful to our patrons and colleagues for your incredible support. We thank you all from the bottom of our hearts!

So, with that said, let’s go out with a bang! Y’all come on down to River Street and see us for the next month.

Fresh, Wild Georgia Shrimp are on the menu and Ship Shots are flowing steadily! This weekend is the perfect time to come down and cheer on the legendary Ansley Williams as Grand Marshal of the Waterfront Lighted Christmas Parade.

Thank you again and see you soon!
