New American Restaurants near Jekyll Island, GA

“I had a great experience at Coastal Grill, it is kind of hard to find, hidden behind Holiday Inn. We ordered the crab cake, fish and spicy chicken tacos, pretzel, and pizza. The crab cake burger was good, and the spicy chicken taco was also pretty good but the fish taco was lacking some flavor and was kind of dry. The pretzel was also good, it comes with 2 cheese dips, and the pizza was very cheesy.?“

“Pool bar is awesome! Check when open in off season. Olivia was great this fall! Made the time pass with fun bar life. Wish it was open more than Fri-Sun in late Oct & maybe close at 6, but we continued to go each year for the last 17 years in late Oct! Love the memories. Food good too!“

“During a low-season dinner, we were one of 3 tables occupied. Service was friendly and (understandably) quick, and the food was excellent! The smoked fish spread was terrific as an app, and the seafood entrees (Georgia shrimp and Fish and Chips) were very good too!“

“Great night, great food, Harrison our waiter, and all his coworkers were exceptional! We had a great seat by the beautiful fireplace, and the beer is fabulous! The Blueberry was my favorite! The potatoe ship skillet, Brussels sprouts, beet hummus and veggies, stuffed pretzel , and Caesar salad were awesome! Can’t wait to go back !“

“It’s been a while so hoping to return this week. Outstanding staff! Always! Food was outstanding and such a varied menus each time we did go.“

“Our second trip to GSG was not as pleasant as the first. Our table was plagued with several flies that harassed us our entire meal, I actually dispatched an ant crawling on the table too. Our smoked fish dip appetizer was extremely “fishy” like it was made with mullet or something. It was not good. We each tried one taste and left it alone. The crab stew was great. My triple tail special was great. My daughter’s bacon poached salmon was supposed to be prepared medium, but it was rare…very. So, I wound up trading her a portion of my dinner so she would not have to eat almost raw fish. Overall, I expected much more consistent greatness given the difficulty we have had obtaining a reservation. Disappointed“

“Although we have been regulars at Reids for the past few years (with a strong attempt at never missing a Sunday dinner!) they really outdid themselves during my 40th birthday! you can always count on their great food, amazing atmosphere, and awesome staff that works on ensuring your whole party finds the experience memorable and that the staff is part of our family. We are moving down to Jacksonville at the end of the month, yet have already made plans to come back routinely for the Reids experience! If you haven't been there yet, it's a must go!“

“I live out of town & go to Brunswick at least once every week & eat at Maggie Mae’s. They are so nice, very fast service, always checking on you & the food is Amazing! I definitely recommend them!! They even serve breakfast all day. I just wish they were open later. Sometimes my appointments are after 2 pm & they’re closed so I miss out but I always eat here whenever I can! Lovely people & great atmosphere!“

“We just had an amazing meal and Jason the manager was amazing! They were so friendly, food was quality, and not only fresh but delicious! All around a great restaurant and I recommend as a must visit if you’re in the area.“

“Delicious filet and fresh vegetables!“

“Best breakfast/Brunch on the island, the food is always on point.. Service is always great… Maybe a wait because of the demand and limited seating“

“Moved to Brunswick a couple of months ago and I’ve had a couple of different people tell me about this place. Ate there today for the first time. Had a kraut dog and was delicious! Good fries, too! I will be a repeat offender here.“

“Finally went to The Ocean Lodge last night with my great friend, and we were both so pleasantly surprised. The views are simply spectacular, and to be honest the food,music, and drinks were totally amazing! I was expecting very little with the food and the service, but it was phenomenal. I was very impressed and can’t wait to go back.“
