22 Best Seafood Restaurants in Saint Simons Island

“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.“

“In my opinion, the best restaurant on the Island. Been here since 2005 and never had a bad meal here. They always have interesting specials; their “regular” items are consistently good. And if you tire of seafood, their prime rib roast is excellent. Don't miss it if you visit SSI.“

“Back in July, I had one of the kindest and most heartwarming experiences at this Iguanas . While I was waiting for my food, I suddenly had a low blood sugar episode. As someone with type 1 diabetes, those moments can be really scary because they can sneak up on you out of nowhere. Without hesitation, the waitress noticed what was happening and went completely out of her way to bring me something right away before my meal was ready. She didn’t just stop there she continued to check in on me the entire time I was there, making sure I felt okay and had what I needed. That small act of kindness may not seem like much to some, but to me, it meant absolutely everything. In that moment, she turned what could have been a stressful experience into one filled with comfort and genuine care. It reminded me how much of an impact simple compassion can have on someone’s day. And beyond the incredible service, the food was absolutely delicious! The combination of amazing food and people who truly care makes this place stand out. I would recommend it to anyone in a heartbeat. The world needs more people like her thoughtful, attentive, and full of kindness.“

“Visiting from St. Augustine in February. Best seafood meal we’ve had during our trip!! Soft shell crab special and Scallop bowl amazing. Service and view top notch. Great value definitely eat here.“

“Our family recently held a celebration of life at the Coastal Kitchen's River Room - and it was truly the perfect venue. The beautiful location together with the intimate, charming room (and the attentive staff) could not have been a better choice for our family's special occasion.“

“We had the great pleasure of venturing forth into this little piece of heaven last weekend. My sister and I met two long-term customers who guided us to our order, which was PERFECTION! Prepared shrimp, homemade cocktail sauce, crab dip - are you kidding me? SO DELICIOUS! We're coming back to SSI this weekend and you can guess my first stop? St. Simons Seafood. It is truly out of this world. I'm excited to get the crab cakes this time. We were told that they're "out of this world". So grateful for all of the great reviews that prodded us to this magnificent place and the precious customers who guided us perfectly. What a jewel of an establishment. Cannot wait for Friday!!!“

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

“I was slightly disappointed given the recommendations I'd received. The food was good, but the portions were small compared to the prices and the seating was a little cramped. The standout was the service. From hostess that wait staff and even the bus boy, everyone was great.“

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

“Delicious filet and fresh vegetables!“

“By far , we had the best meal we had on St, Simons here! Fried flounder was fantastic and the home made key lime pie was the best I have ever eaten“

“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 🤷‍♂️😒“

“So good! Everything we had was delicious, service was extremely fast and the Frose (frozen Rosé was delicious!“

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

“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.“

“This location is great and it’s so easy to park !! Fun for all ages and so much great music !! NO COVER .. time to dance and play some pool ..“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“i don’t know why there is bad reviews. I honestly loved this place. the server was so sweet and kind, my favorite waitress i’ve ever had i loved hers . The food was really really good, everyone at my table didn’t have one complaint about the food. it was so nice and clean and it wasn’t busy at all it was super quiet and relaxed, only one other table in the room that had people. I did not regret and would 100% go again, i know i’ll be craving this in the future.“
