“It is our first time as a family here in St. Simon’s island and our first time at Crabdaddy’s. I wanna shout out to our superb waitress Bella! She was amazing, lovely and took great care of us and made our experience there the best! Always on point with the refills and anything we needed! My mom had the blackened shrimp with grits, my step-dad had the seafood pasta and I had grilled shrimp with mashed potatoes and crab cakes. Props to the chef because that food was BOMBIN’! The crab cakes were the best I’ve ever eaten along with the dill sauce! My mom found the portion sizes for the shrimp and grits to be just right for her. While my step-dad didn’t care for the sauce in the pasta, he enjoyed it overall. Thank you Crabdaddy’s for a classy and 5-Star seafood dining experience!🦀🩷✨“

“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 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!“

“Nice beachfront place with mediocre food and solid service. Shrimp were fine, fish was mushy, and fried oysters were a soggy clump. Fries were ok, coleslaw slaw was fine but small portion, for $52. Lots of better places to go! Deviled eggs were very heavy with closing pimento cheese spread. Drinks are good, but $18 to $20. Skippable.“

“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.“

“Great food and service! Highly recommend!“

“They have a nice variety of chicken salad to choose from. I got the Jalapeno Holly because I like spicy foods. As usual, it was delicious. I got one scoop and it comes with some crackers, a dill pickle spear and a little yummy shortbread cookie. If you want something outside of the usual fast food choices, check them out!“
