33 Best Seafood Restaurants near Sea Island

“made a reservation and sat down promptly with a beautiful view of the beach and ocean. The waitress came promptly and was very nice and friendly and even spoke to my son and get him something to keep him busy.

food came out promptly and was wonderful. wife had the special and I had the southern fried chicken. everything was great.“

“I had the most exceptional experience here. Did you know someone on the Island makes their chocolate? Our chef was incredible. The meat was perfectly cooked, The sauces better than I have had in flavor and delivery. The wine is superb in selection. The decor is hands down some of the most beautiful atmosphere I have ever been in. If you can get in, you must have dessert! You cannot get this chocolate anywhere else.“

“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.“

“Awesome place , been going there forever.“

“Great food. Get there early. This place gets packed. The red snapper with jalapeno cream sauce was very tasty. It was perfectly cooked. Crispy on the outside and tender in the middle. The crab cakes were really good. Blackened shrimp was the best I had all week. The special was a salmon in a lemon cream sauce. My kid really liked it and it was a really nice portion. The salad and bread was really good. The cinnamon butter that comes with it was awesome. We always visit Crabdaddy's when vacationing in SSI. You can make reservations in advance, too.“

“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.“

“The service was 100% better (at the bar) than Crabdaddys. There is no comparison!! The food is different at both restaurants, but I would go back to Crabtrap if sitting at the bar. The Crab Soup was also100% better at Crabtrap. At least you will be waited on and even acknowledge when sitting at the bar.“

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

“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 .“

“Always a great experience at fredrica House“

“I had a great experience at Coastal Grill, it is kind of hard to find, hidden behind Holiday Inn. We ordered the crab cake, fish and spicy chicken tacos, pretzel, and pizza. The crab cake burger was good, and the spicy chicken taco was also pretty good but the fish taco was lacking some flavor and was kind of dry. The pretzel was also good, it comes with 2 cheese dips, and the pizza was very cheesy.?“

“Had a couple of shrimp baskets to go tonight! Superb!! Sweet Potato very good but a bit overdone. I wish your site bragged on local shrimp , But if they weren't they were certainly very good!“

“Enjoyed our first time here traveling through. Great food! Good prices. Great atmosphere. Great views. The service was great. This is where the locals eat, you can tell. Loved it.“

“Beautiful view within walking distance from Jeckyl Island Resort - good food, great service! (especially Kat!!) Great choice for lunch for the family - they are great with kids!!“

“Eating breakfast here was a glorious experience, echoing grandeur of the Gilded Age through the opulent Roaring Twenties.

My family and I had breakfast reservations for four at 8:30am on a weekday. The dining room was set to perfection as we were greeted with a welcoming smile and offered to pick any table we preferred. We selected a table by the window. It was wonderful to see a dining room set with fine China again. It seems rare nowadays.

Once settled, we were promptly offered tea, coffee, or a collection of juices before embarking on the breakfast buffet and omelet station. There were no lines yet being so early on a weekday, but my oh my, what a beautiful feast! I was apprehensive that the food would be generic given the continental selection, but I was pleasantly impressed by the tastes, presentations, and twists to the menu. The French toast and overnight oats were my favorite, with a close third place by the bacon.

In addition to the delicious food, the wait staff was attentive and happy. The tables were nicely spaced to keep the dining room at a quiet noise level. And the coffee and pots of tea kept flowing. A big plus!

The only negative I can find with my dining experience is that I was mistaken that the extra fruit juices I ordered a la carte were part of the breakfast buffet. I wish I had known that only the juices on the buffet tables were included. However, when you are dining at such a fine dining establishment, you do not mind the extra price.

I encourage dining here and will be a repeat customer! Thank you to the staff of the JIC for a splendid morning!“

“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 filet and fresh vegetables!“

“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.“

“By far, this was the best dining experience I've had. Every aspect of the meal was flawless, from the baked goat cheese and escargot to the mixed grill, bone-in ribeye, and chocolate cake – each dish was incredible. This meal stands out as one of my favorites, a true fine dining experience.“

“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 🤷‍♂️😒“

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

“Love this restaurant! The food is always great and the staff is very friendly. Our son has several food allergies too, and they are so accommodating to prepare safe meals for him that he enjoys!“

“Food and service were excellent, Misty took great care of our group. Will always make sure a trip to Jekyll includes Tribuzio.“

“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 ..“

“We had the Korean tacos and they were amazing! Chef Quimet does a great job on everything he makes and creates.“

“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“

“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.“

“Come to Bennies red barn best steak in all of Brunswick ga !!! Come get you a raccoon it’s a delicious dessert with some nice brandy in it !!!!“

“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.“

“The restaurant, food, and wine list is absolutely amazing!! The food was delicious and beautifully plated. Restaurant slightly on the pricey side but worth it. Our waitress was sweet, knowledgeable, and professional. Other waitresses were VERY unprofessional, verbally fighting over tables, speaking about how she was quitting (pure ignorance). She should have been fired for carrying on in the dining area around and disrupting customers.“

“During a low-season dinner, we were one of 3 tables occupied. Service was friendly and (understandably) quick, and the food was excellent! The smoked fish spread was terrific as an app, and the seafood entrees (Georgia shrimp and Fish and Chips) were very good too!“
