    “It is our first time as a family here in St. Simon’s island and our first time at Crabdaddy’s. I wanna shout out to our superb waitress Bella! She was amazing, lovely and took great care of us and made our experience there the best! Always on point with the refills and anything we needed! My mom had the blackened shrimp with grits, my step-dad had the seafood pasta and I had grilled shrimp with mashed potatoes and crab cakes. Props to the chef because that food was BOMBIN’! The crab cakes were the best I’ve ever eaten along with the dill sauce! My mom found the portion sizes for the shrimp and grits to be just right for her. While my step-dad didn’t care for the sauce in the pasta, he enjoyed it overall. Thank you Crabdaddy’s for a classy and 5-Star seafood dining experience!🦀🩷✨”

    “The Glynn Academy Girl's Golf Team won the 6A State Championship on Tuesday, May 17, at the Jekyll Island Golf Club. They chose to celebrate together at Marshside afterwards. Once the waitress/owner found out they were State Champs, they put all of their meals on the house. What a super generous thing for them to do to show their support for their local High School! Thank you Marshside & Go Terrors!”

    “Oak Room Review We stopped at the Oak Room at The Lodge at Sea Island for lunch after our round at the Plantation Course. It’s an absolutely beautiful space with a terrific bar and sprawling views of the Atlantic Ocean. The cocktails were solid and lunch was very good. The club sandwich was huge, and the sweet potato fries are definitely worth getting. Our bartender, Vlad, was especially friendly and welcoming. A great place to relax after a round of golf.”

    “Nice beachfront place with mediocre food and solid service. Shrimp were fine, fish was mushy, and fried oysters were a soggy clump. Fries were ok, coleslaw slaw was fine but small portion, for $52. Lots of better places to go! Deviled eggs were very heavy with closing pimento cheese spread. Drinks are good, but $18 to $20. Skippable.”

I was very impressed and can’t wait to go back.”
