All the folks who visit Saint Simon’s during the spring and summer months, come early and enjoy, because the cocktails mare fantastic after a long day with the kids on the beach, and the food will knock your socks off!”

“The food is delicious, the environment is unique and the staff is amazing!! The moment you walk in the door you are hit with the aroma of fresh baked goods. It was so nice to see all the Christmas decorations and music playing in the background. It’s apparent this is a hot spot for the locals, as the staff knew 99% of the folks walking through the door by first name, you don’t see that often nowadays. 100% recommendation.”

“We are visiting Jekyll Island for the weekend, and I had the opportunity to visit this coffee shop. Wow!!! The baristas were so friendly, and they made my coffee “with all the love.” 🥹 Also, the shop itself is SO cute and such a vibe! The lemon poppyseed muffin is 🧑‍🍳💋 I highly recommend this place!”

“Love Hot Dog Alley. Tannis and Dale are the best!”

“The selection of burgers is great! They offer many options including meat-free. I tried the Greektown burger which has lamb and beef. It was delicious! I definitely recommend this place. Come hungry because the burgers are big! My photo is the Greektown burger and tater tots.”

“Went to support our friends CJ for their Sunday show, and left reminded why I love our little community so much. My girl had a tiny run-in with a beam (because… kids 😅), and before I could even gather myself, the owner was right there checking on her and on me. That kind of care says everything. Great food. Great music. Even better people. What started as supporting friends turned into finding a place we’ll be back to again and again. The Golden Isles really do shine ✨”

“Exceptional food and service plus our fury friends can sit outside.”

“Delicious filet and fresh vegetables!”

“Loved this place! The atmosphere and everything was so nice and so cool! Definitely recommend this place!! Would come back in a heartbeat but I don't live nearby. Hopefully one day though!! Coffee was so so bad though unfortunately. Other than that 5/5 stars!”

“Great little place by the pier. The food is delicious and huge! Really does have the best burgers and fries.”

“Best restaurant in Georgia Everything on the menu is fresh, delicious, healthy and reasonably priced. I live on Saint Simons Island and eat there almost every day. Everyone from the management to the staff are hard-working, friendly and do a fantastic job. If you give it a try it will be your favorite restaurant. You will not be disappointed and Barbara Jean and Jim Barta Will see to it that you are super satisfied.”

“Went for a birthday dinner. We waited 20 minutes for a table of 6. The chicken katsu was a little dry but the battering was nice and crunchy.
Salmon katsu was much better with a lot more flavor in the fish.
Our serve was great and she had a good sense of humor :)”

“I’ve been a regular takeout customer for years - the food and service is always great. I usually order a curry, which they change up/rotate every day. Today when I asked what kind of curry they had, they told me “oh, we serve all of them every day now.” In a time like this when many restaurants are struggling, I thought it was worth highlighting that this place is actually expanding their services and their customers’ options! 👏👏👏”

“Fabulous pizza and friendly service at Crafts in the Village this weekend! Great job y’all!”

“Always great customer service.The best burgers on saint silmons, great pizza and they have an awesome club sandwich!!!”

“Probably the best ice cream I've ever had. My wife got Coffee and I got Honey Lavender, both were amazing.The young man and woman working there were delightful. Will definitely be back here in the future.”

“I’m a first timer at Shine Nutrition. Visiting SSI and needed my banana pudding protein shake fix. I ended up purchasing a shake and drink combo. Both were delicious! Friendly ladies here! Will definitely be a repeat customer!”

“If you want the best service, from the oldest bar on the island, come visit. Grants Washington apples are spectacular, If you’re in for a day drink, come visit Caleb and talk about music and movies. I would give more than 5 stars if I could….. Damion on weekends killing it!!”

“Simple grab and go sandwiches with great flavor. Packaged in plastic wrap like my momma used to make for me. No frills needed just a yummy sandwich. Easy pick up and continue on your way exploring SSI.”

“The go to place for fresh seafood. Helpful staff to advise the perfect selection. I had the cooked shelled read to eat shrimp, cocktail sauce, they were delicious. They do not take credit/debit cards.”

“The wood fire pizza and the apps are great!”

“Absolutely the best cupcakes and sandwich cookies I've ever had! We can't go to St. Simon's Island without going to SmallCakes. The cupcakes are so moist and flavorable. The minis are a perfect bite size. I tried the snickerdoodle sandwich cookie and it was the size of my hand; so so good, I couldn't stop eating it. Lol This place is WELL Worth the money. I promise you won't be disappointed. They also have brownies & ice cream which I'll be trying on my next visit. They even offer pupcakes for your furry friend. The service was awesome. I didn't catch her name but she was so polite and sweet. I recommend the mini cupcakes and sandwich cookies.”

“All of the following!!!!!”

“Jordan did a great job of directing a new employee on how to make my smoothies as they tasted perfect! Both employees also did a great job of welcoming me into the store while also getting everyones orders in a timely fashion despite it being very busy!”

“My girlfriend and I were traveling back from Daytona 500. We explored the beach on a windy February day and decided to go check out the downtown area and look for lunch. We stumble into this place and we both order burgers. I ordered the black and blue burger and she ordered the cheese burger and sweet potato fries. All we talked about on our drive back was how great the burger was. It had amazing flavor inside and out. Perfectly cooked. Definitely one of the best flavored burgers we ever had. If we make it back south and need a lunch spot, I will be stopping back.”

“great shakes...banana pudding is excellent”

“If you grew up around Larry’s Giant Subs, you already know… but if not, you’re seriously missing out.

We used to have these back in Orlando, so getting one on St. Simons feels like a little throwback every time we visit. Hands down, these are the best subs I’ve ever had. The bread is always fresh, everything is piled high, and the flavor just hits every time.

The Ultimate Sub is my go-to—it never disappoints. Loaded, perfectly balanced, and just flat-out delicious.

Anytime we’re on the island, this is a must-stop. I genuinely look forward to it every trip. If you’re anywhere nearby, do yourself a favor and grab a sub… you won’t regret it.”

“I would like to say that I’m on a diet and is a lady named Kim that works over there and she was very helpful to me and choosing what to eat then that I’m on a diet and also what to drink because I don’t need to be eating fatty foods or drinking sugary drinks. She was so helpful as saying taste of drink and if you don’t like it, give it back to me and I’ll make you something else but I told her that I’ll taste it because it was too hot at the present time and moment and I’ll let her know next time I come if I don’t like it I told her I’ll let her choose and make me something that she think that I may or may not like”

“We got there about 20 minutes before closing. Normally I don’t like going to any restaurant unless it is at least 30 minutes before closing but we were starving and there weren’t a lot of choices. The waitress was so friendly, and the service was fantastic. We ordered pizza, wings and some cheese bread. Everything was hot, fresh and delicious. The pizza was excellent. I highly recommend this place if you’re in the mood for pizza. I tipped the waitress 50% for being so great even though we got there so late. I will definitely be back.”

“So today I took my two very young kids to a candy store ( the sugar shack) for the first time in their lives . My son wanted everything and began having a meltdown . I was overwhelmed and honestly didn’t have money for everything they wanted but did buy them some things and a very kind lady Mrs . Emma saw my son melting down and offered him a little rubber duck and free Ice cream . THAT WAS SO KIND OF HER ! We had sherbet ice cream which was delicious and by the time we left the store my son was happy waving bye bye to her . She was so sweet so happy so kind anytime I am ever here visiting my sister I will bring the kids and give them our business they earned it the candy and Ice cream were delicious but the best part was how wonderful she was to my kids ! Sincerely , one stressed mama”

“This dinner was incredible in every way possible. The food was the best I've ever had, hands down. I've seriously never had a better egg roll, and my Sesame Chicken was insanely good. My mom's Cashew Chicken had so much stuff in it, and the fried rice is TOP TIER. Massive chunks of pork, carrots and peas - I know I've already said it, but incredible. Awesome service as well by very kind and attentive servers. This is the only picture I had, because by the time I thought to review we'd already eaten almost everything, and I know this is in a "ocean" tourist area, so people think seafood...but try Fortune House out, you won't be sorry.”

“love there pizza and you cant get unlimited toppings”

“What a wonderful treat dining in The Lodge at Sea Island Oak Room was for my wife and I. We stopped in on a slow post-Thanksgiving weekday evening and were treated to a wonderful delicious dinner. Our server Cericka was excellent. We were seated quickly by the hostess and ordered two Prosecco's. We enjoyed a delicious mini biscuits with bacon butter appetizer. My wife ordered a wonderful 6oz filet with Boursin whipped potatoes, roasted autumn veggies, and scallion steak sauce. I ordered the blackened Redfish with crab fried rice, green gumbo, and pickled Okra. Both entrees were served hot and were delicious. Bon Appetit”

“The whipped potatoes are the best I've ever had, excellent asparagus, perfectly cooked filet and Kansas city steaks, powerful banana foster and excellent wine list. Staff is perfection.”

“Had fabulous hamburger and the best onion rings ever. Don't be mislead, they have a menu filled with great choices. The ambiance is very nice, we like sitting at the bar when it's just my wife and me. Decor is lots of dark oak, very country club feel, and even though this is part of the Sea Island Resort, this particular venue is open to the public, as is the adjoining golf shop. Golf is available only ti members and hotel guests. For golf fans, what could be more fun than dining in Davis Love's very own grill?”

“Wounderful breakfast food ,
homemade biscuits, Sweet tea ,
delicious homemade muffins. The friendly service you receive makes you feel like family
and thats what brings us back.”

“Rafters is a one of a kind bar with a cozy music venue that offers variety of vibes for any kind of event 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“We are grateful that this restaurant is here on St Simons Island. Their food is authentic Thai, without adulterations. They assured us no MSG, sugar... just fresh stuff and coconut milk to sweeten. Curries are Fabulous. Pad Thai just as it should be. Great soups. Small, friendly, hard-working staff. Reasonable prices.”

“Fresh, good food and good service.”

“Delicious food every single time!!❤️”

“Great vibes and great food. I had to pick up order here and I actually had the seafood combo. It was a delectable delightful treat that I have never had such wonderful seafood in my life. Everything was seasoned well too perfection and I’ve really appreciated that amount of effort that went into what they did for a takeout order with the seafood combo. I got generous portion of fresh catch flounder for the day, grilled shrimp, and fried oysters everything and I do mean everything was so wonderful. It was melting in the mouth good even the tartar sauce was good. It was a little pricey at $39 but you get what you pay for and I paid for what I got and when I got was so so good definitely would go back if I was ever in the area again five stars”

“Thank you SO much for the wonderful food, delicious wedding cake, cupcakes and service you provided for our wedding at Villas by the Sea, Jekyll Island on Saturday 25th June. Because we came over from England, we didn’t have the opportunity for a tasting session and decided to trust the reviews - we’re so glad we did as everything was perfect and exceeded our expectations. We are especially grateful to the chef and serving staff for their outstanding service. - Sophie & Kerry”

“Great date night. We ate on the patio, which is dog friendly .”

“Cocktail special on the burger and oyster made it affordable, otherwise prices are a little steep: great atmosphere and excellent service.”

“The food is exquisite! I always stock up on sauce and ribs when I’m in SSI. My go to BBQ spot for many, many years!”

“Great spot for food, drinks, and the view. Highly recommend.”

“We decided to give this place a try while visiting the area. You choose the flavors you want and choose to put it in a bowl or on a waffle cone. Then they weigh it to determine the price. The flavor choices were very delicious. I will definitely come back when I'm back in the area.”

“The Frozen yogurt is fantastic and lots of variety of flavors”

“Incredible staff... Kim, Tim & Sam always contribute to more than just serving. Because of their camaraderie, I am boosted not just by my Capo made w/ sweet cream + xtra shot expresso. 👍”

“Great space for getting more than “bar food”…. American fare with diverse options that suited every member of our family. Family owners, and it shows. You can tell by their interactions with you that they care about their customers. We loved catching the games on tv while enjoying Sunday brunch and bottomless mimosas.”

“Good good, great service with Chelsea.”

“We order from this location semi-often, and always have a great experience. This time there was a little mess-up with the order, but a quick phone call, and they fixed the error promptly and with no issues. Very happy overall. Keep up the great work!”

“Last night four of us and our fur baby sat on the deck and had fantastic food and Sydney as our wonderful wait staff! She was very attentive and cheerful! We will definitely be back and highly recommend this gem!”

“The Waycross Line Dancer’s had a Fantastic time last night at Ziggy’s. And the food was Delicious. We really enjoyed it & We will be back soon. Thank y’all for all your hospitality”

“Great food and the energy is amazing!! 😍”

“I enjoyed the chicken tacos today! Such a beautiful presentation of the tastiest tacos on homemade blue corn tortillas paired with authentic grilled veggies! Everything was perfectly prepared with layers of amazing flavors! I will definitely be back!!!”

“When my hubby and I walk in for our Wednesday night date, not only do the staff know what we want, they call us by name and we get hugs. No, we didn't previously know them, they are just that awesome! The food is great quality fast food! I recommend the chicken sandwiches or Philly cheese steak! Their ice-cream and brownies are delicious too! Great staff = great food! We love y'all!”

“There was only one server (Abigail?) to wait on several tables, but she did an amazing job hustling around the tables. In spite of being overwhelmed, she was quite attentive to details and monitoring what we needed.”

“Very polite, very busy, very friendly. Got a Taco salad very good. Thank you staff. We'll done.”

“Was excited to try after reading reviews. Seated quickly and server took drink orders. Then the world stopped. After waiting 55 minutes we inquired about our order and learned from the hostess there was no “cook” in the kitchen. This became apparent when we noticed only one table in the entire restaurant, both inside and outside, had food on the table. Sadly, the food we did see didn’t look particularly good either. Plenty of other dining establishments nearby…do yourself a favor take a pass on this place! 1/17/23”

“We had a cocktail, French fries that we a cross between potato chips and French fries, salad, patty melt. All very good with great attention from staff.”

“Come to Bennies red barn best steak in all of Brunswick ga !!! Come get you a raccoon it’s a delicious dessert with some nice brandy in it !!!!”

“From the moment I stepped into Sago at Sea Palms Golf Resort, I was impressed by the refined yet welcoming atmosphere. The space is beautifully maintained—immaculate, serene, and tastefully lit—creating the perfect setting for an exceptional dining experience.

I began with a smoked old-fashioned, perfectly balanced with just the right hint of sweetness and smoke, a cocktail that sets a sophisticated tone for the evening. The cabbage cream soup followed, delicate and velvety, demonstrating both restraint and depth of flavor. The highlight, however, was the Friday night prime rib special—expertly prepared, tender, and seasoned to perfection.

Midway through my meal, Chef Chris personally stopped by to ensure everything was to my liking and graciously offered a side of his signature Brussel sprouts, which were outstanding—caramelized, savory, and elegantly presented. His visit, along with the attentiveness of the entire staff, made the evening feel truly special.

While I dined solo at the bar, I felt completely comfortable and well cared for, a testament to the restaurant’s attentive service and inviting environment. Every detail—from the pacing of the courses to the warmth of the staff—spoke to a genuine commitment to hospitality and culinary excellence.

Sago delivers a five-star dining experience from start to finish. Whether you’re a guest of the resort or a local looking for elevated cuisine in an elegant yet approachable setting, this is a must-visit destination on St. Simons Island.”

“For the exception of ruining my Anniversary celebration that I had planned, everything else was okay. The food was good! Drinks were just strong enough and not just watered down! View was stunning! Service was average, I had called days in advance to reserve indoor window seating to celebrate our Anniversary. I had planned a whole “thing” I was going to do near the stunning view of the window for the wife. When we arrived they pulled our information and one lady asked us “indoor or outdoor?” The other hostess told her the system said “indoor with window seating” and gave her a look of disappointment. As they walked me to my sitting area it was not window seating and table was wobbly. I was unable to do my whole “thing” I had planned and just started off the evening not on a good start, but drinks made up for it 🤷‍♂️😒”
