It’s always intriguing to visit a restaurant that focuses on a specific cuisine, only to stumble upon a delightful dish that catches you off guard! It feels like discovering a hidden gem. A prime example can be found at a seafood eatery in South Carolina, where you might be pleasantly surprised to find delectable drinks and chicken and waffles alongside the fresh seafood offerings.
Tubb’s Shrimp & Fish Co. can be found on 2nd Loop Road in Florence, nestled in a building that was once a gas station.

Tubb’s originated in 2013 as a pop-up seafood market, uniquely positioned as the only one in Florence, and evolved into a full-service restaurant in 2014.


You have the option to sit indoors or outdoors. The vibe is relaxed and inviting, embodying the warmth of southern hospitality.

Launching at the seafood popup market enabled the owners to forge strong relationships and build an excellent supply chain. Today, Tubb’s boasts a menu featuring some of the freshest and highest-quality Atlantic seafood available. A standout dish among customers is the luxurious and savory she crab soup, noted for its generous taste despite a modest amount of crab.

Patrons are also fond of Tubb’s hoppin’ John side dish.

While the eatery specializes in seafood, its chicken and waffles have gained a loyal following as well… complemented by an array of inventive beverages.




Finish your meal on a sweet note with a delightful dessert. Options may include anything from cupcakes and key lime pie to this rich sweet potato cheesecake, adorned with caramel and pecans, and topped with toasted marshmallows.
