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.
I had the privilege of dining here on my way home on a road trip to Massachusetts from Florida and I was blown away by the food! The portions were not only large but extremely delicious! You can tell that love went into every plate! I ordered a crab cake to start. Packed full of lump crab (no fillers there!) I then ordered the shrimp and grits with squash casserole and cabbage!

Barbara Jean's is a popular restaurant in the Glynn County area, known for its delicious and generous portions of food. The menu offers a variety of options, including sandwiches, fish, and turkey, which are highly praised by customers. The fries are excellent, and the red beans and rice are particularly noteworthy. Many customers also enjoy the grilled tuna and the shrimp and grits, which are favorites among diners.
The service is generally good, although it can be slow at times. The atmosphere is casual and comfortable, which many appreciate, especially when visiting the beach. The restaurant is not considered upscale, but it is a place where customers can relax and enjoy a satisfying meal.
The crab cakes are a standout dish, described as "spectacular" and "having no filler." The variety bread basket, featuring pumpkin bread, sweet jalapeño cornbread, and wheat rolls, is another highlight that disappears quickly. The chocolate dessert, known as "Chocolate Stuff," is a must-try for those with a sweet tooth, as it is described as "fantastically rich and tasty."
The restaurant offers a great experience, with wonderful food and service. They have covered outdoor tables with ceiling fans for dining with pets, and a big variety of food and drinks are available. The restaurant is proud of its crab cakes and she-crab soup, which are both delicious, and the vegetable sides are also exceptional, with the stewed tomatoes being particularly noteworthy.
