8 Best Seafood Restaurants in Cookeville

“Went to dinner with my daughter. Gracie was our server. She took very good care of us, but I also noticed she had two tables that had elderly people at them. She was so patient and kind to them and even knelt down on the floor to help this elderly couple with their order. Her kindness and compassion was so heartwarming. The world needs more people like her in it. Our service was also excellent and the food was great.“

“Don't know how we overlooked this place; it's been here several years and so have we! Now that we found it we'll definitely be back. Our family is from south Alabama and we miss the cuisine very much. Bubba Gandy Seafood offers a taste of the Gulf States seafood we miss so much. Three of us went recently and we each ordered the Fried Oyster Po Boy sandwich. They were authentic and delicious. We started off with the Fried Green Tomato appetizer which was also perfect, made fresh and coated in corn meal just like back home.
Buby Gandy's has several tables for dining in as well as a traditional counter selection of fresh seafood on ice sold by the pound for home prep. In the freezers you'll find a selection of delicacies like crawfish pie, gumbo, and alligator meat. The dry goods section has a selection of box dinner starters and condiments you'd normally only encounter along the Gulf Coast.
The one thing I noted that separates Bubby Gandy's from the typical Gulf Coast seafood restaurant one might encounter down South was that Bubby Gandy's is a hell of a lot cleaner!“

“The Michelada’s and margaritas are substantial. I love coming here. They’re always quick and the food is so yummy!!!!!!“

“Very happy with the service and food. My family and I had lunch there today and our server Tia was outstanding. She did her job with ease and a great sense of humor. Could not ask for better. The food was also top notch and very appreciative of how well made and tasty everything was. Highly recommend this place and will return if ever in Cookeville again!“

“It was our first time to Spankies and I can say we will definitely go back. Our waiter Decklan was very personable and attentive! All the food was amazing. And the fried green tomatoes were the best I've had! My daughter had the fried chicken kabobs. The chicken was very juicy. It was a great find with no wait. Decklan was the best waiter we've had in awhile.
I highly recommend this place!“

“I was looking for a quick bite on my way home. After craving fish. Ordered. The two piece dinner with a beverage and a side. To my surprise the food came out immediately. Got my Dr Pepper fountain drink and plastic utensels. The place was clean and free of debri.lots of seating space. The table had paper towels on a rool. The fish was fairly large portions,average non greasy breading the fish was firm with no fishey odor. The side of coleslaw was also fresh with no old refrigerator smell. An added bonus was a hushpuppy and two small condiments of tarter sauce. The one thing they could do without was the left over fryer crunchy bits.under the fish.overall it was very tasty and filled me up for the ride home.“
