“10/10 recommend having Porch cater your wedding! We loved the convenience of the food truck and Heather was beyond easy to work with.“

“Delicious food. The 3½-4" Crême Brulée is a MUST HAVE!!

Parking: Medium size lot shared between 2 popular restaurants with additional street parking on a heavy trafficked 2-lane road. Factor parking into your arrival/dining time.“

“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“

“I had the ribeye with seasonal veggies. It was awesome and the vegetables were somehow the star of the dish with the black garlic sauce. My wife had the crawfish mac which was amazing and we got to try a few bites of the shrimp n grits which was unbelievable as well.

Fair prices and one of the most unique and elevated southern menus you will find anywhere. They’ve had a total transformation since they changed management and brought in a new chef. Must try.“

“What a beautiful place to celebrate our anniversary! This was our second trip to Sea Island, our first being last February when we stayed at the Cloisters. Wonderful accommodations in a magnificant building. On that stay we played golf on each of their 3 fabulous championship courses. Hence, the reason for our return trip 5 months later. On this trip we decided to spend three days at the Lodge, located right next to two of the three golf courses and adjacent to St. Simons Sound. The grounds were beautiful and the service exceptional. Our room overlooked the golf course and was spacious, beautifully decorated and included special touches to make us feel comfortable and pampered. The staff was very friendly and all seemed to know we were celebrating our 39th anniversary. In fact, one evening when we returned to the room there was a bottle of wine and a plate with 7- huge chocolate covered strawberries. Boy did my wife love that! What a nice touch to a beautiful evening. We had our anniversary dinner in their renowned steak house (Colt & Alison) and enjoyed a perfect meal with superb top shelf service. And - a surprised anniversary dessert! Remember to wear a jacket. I forgot mine and was given one to wear, in my exact size. The Lodge has a beautiful open seating area which resembles an old English manor. Each evening we sat outside and were entertained by their bagpiper who performs at sunset. Naturally, we got to play the courses again and as expected, they were in fantastic shape. Each course was pristine, with manicured greens, white fluffy sand and a green carpet fairway. Our stay was wonderful and I highly recommend this resort to anyone wanting to stay in a Five-star award offering world-class accommodations and golf on three beautiful Championship courses. Until next time … Thank you, Sea Island Walt Karpowski“

“Thankful for gluten free options! The employee was so patient as we confirmed our child’s order was GF. He got sliced pork with vinegar bbq sauce, baked beans & a cup of brisket chili. 5 stars!“

“The Crab BLT is by far the best crab cake I've ever had in 26 years. One bite and I was sold. Fresh, well cooked, not over seasoned. My partner enjoyed the BBQ Loaded Fries. Good food for great prices and it came out really fast and fresh. Atmosphere was quiet and friendly. Service was really friendly, but kinda AWOL majority of the time.“

“Excellent as usual❤️Great food and service.“

“10 out of 10 recommend! The drinks are handcrafted and amazing, the food was fantastic, and the service was impeccable! Can’t wait to go back next time we are in Brunswick! Had the pleasure of meeting one of the owners and he made the experience a one of a kind! Do yourself a favor when you’re in Brunswick and stop here!“

“Friendly and delicious. Authentic soul food“

“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!“

“I was in Brunswick for a funeral, the repass was held at this restaurant. My wife and I truly enjoyed the meal. The place is very clean and the waitress was very friendly and attentive to our needs. There is a large variety of food choices: meats, vegetables, starches and desserts. The next time we our traveling from Florida going north we plan to definitely stop by Ole Time Country Buffet.“

“We travel and stop frequently at cracker barrel This mornings breakfast bacon was u dercooked which is usually not the case. On the other hand the cinnamon roll pie was delicious.“

“Even in the chilly temps - the staff were professional and engaging, the food was prompt and flavorful. Don’t overpay for the California favorite Cabs - the house Private Selection was a great value. We will be back! Loved the deviled eggs app, the flavorful Cesar and the seafood gumbo! Thanks to Elizabeth for attentive service.“

“we had a great meal while doing the Christmas lights on Jekyll Island, pot roast was great and the wife loved her french dip“

“Since this Shane's changed hands, I have been looking at the quality & quantity of food provided. Initially the chicken tenders increased in size; however, recently, they have returned to their old size. Not necessarily small but not large either. Flavor is good overall.“

“Despite being a bit loud - I guess that's a good thing for Cheddars - my last visit there was excellent! It is a favorite meeting place for my group of friends. The food choices are varied and the prices reasonable. The service is always good.“

“We stopped by for an early dinner before catching a sunset. The Wharf did not disappoint. This was our first visit to Jekyll island and we enjoyed it! Thanks to Camden for great service and thanks to the staff for delicious food!“
