“One of the best meals I've eaten in awhile. Every single thing we tried was incredible, from the red snapper to the blackened shrimp to the red beans & rice and bread pudding. Our server (I think her name was Miranda) had the best recommendations and made our meal truly incredible. My husband and I can't stop talking about it. What a fun, indulgent, and celebratory place!“

“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!!!“

“We had the fried and blackened shrimp, which were both delicious, and a gin and tonic to go with it. Relaxed atmosphere, friendly service, and a good spot to grab a meal while on the island. The folks next to us had the crab soup and raved how good it was. Will come back and try that next time.

(For those who plan, this place doesn’t take reservations. We got there right at 5:00 and sat right down. When we left close to 6:00 the place was packed and had a wait.)“

“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!“

“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!“

“We were staying on the island five days and discovered this restaurant the last night. It was the best food we tasted, the service was great, and the prices and quantity! Oh - and a great view! There were four of us and we all order something different along with appetizers!!! Everything was delicious!!!!! The only negative was it was our last night and we couldn’t go back the next day!!! We will definitely go again when visiting the island!!!“

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

“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 🤷‍♂️😒“

“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“

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

“Delicious filet and fresh vegetables!“

You will not be disappointed and Barbara Jean and Jim Barta Will see to it that you are super satisfied.“

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

“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.“

“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 !!!!“

“Tasted like your average bar good. I liked that we had a reservation and got seated immediately when we got there even though people were waiting. We did have to wait awhile for our check. Luckily there was a good football game we could watch from our seats.“

“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.“
