“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 !“

“Delicious filet and fresh vegetables!“

“Zuzu's has become well known for their famous hamburger. The restaurant's signature burger comes with the option of crispy smoky bacon. The Zuzu's burger is renowned for being the tastiest burger in Georgia. They take pride in their "in house preparation" and it shows. Toppings to fill your burger include, cheese, lettuce, pickle and tomato with a slice of onion. I always order my burger with the bacon. The bun was soft and delicious. I paired my burger with their skinny fries and was not disappointed. crisp, savory and salty. This is just not your classic burger joint. This place, Zuzu's stands out above all others. Give it a try!!! You won't be disappointed.“

“We have been going to the island for many years and have never stopped at HDA. What a mistake! My wife and I just wanted a simple meal at a good price. We did not even look at the hours but rolled up at 2:00 pm, their closing time. The ladies were so kind and did not say a word that they were closing. We both got jumbo dogs with the fixings and potato salad. I then noticed the hours and apologized but they were happy to serve us. Food was delicious and we sat on the deck with our lab and watched the world go by. Ladies offered our pup a treat as well. This is now a definite stop for us on the island.“

“Food is excellent and the portions are huge!“

“The Buford Highway Burger is my favorite burger EVER!!!!! So good! + avocado! Had it 3 days ago & counting days till I’m back in town to get another one. Ordering online was an ease & staff friendly.“

“Food was excellent. The restaurant was lightly staffed with only one server and a bartender. Our reservations were at 6:30 and there were only 3 other tables of customers and the server was struggling to handle everyone. Along with many others, we want this restaurant to do very well!“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“My fresh salmon was great as usual. The surf and turf special was good. We had 12 in our group for dinner and had to dine inside because of patio being cleared due to Milton. Service was excellent and we enjoyed talking with the food and beverage director.“

“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“

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

“My Favorite Waffle House never disappoints!!“

“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“

“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.“

“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 🤷‍♂️😒“
