Tried calling several times over the last few months and have never had anyone answer the phone. Had been trying to find out their hours and days of operation as I had gotten different information online. We are new to the area, so we are trying to find places we like and start to get to know the area better. Mom and pop places are usually some of the best, so I have been disappointed that I couldn't get the correct information so we could plan a time to go.

Excellent service. Food was delicious. Speed's is my go to for local seafood dining. Their FRIED SHRIMP dinners are my favorite. Most definitely recommend.
The triggerfish here is awesome....I didn't even know people ate triggerfish.

It's the best seafood restaurant in S.E. Georgia! My wife and I went with a friend for dinner, Sept. 3rd of 23. I had the shrimp and develcrab dinner, my wife had the develcrab casarole, and our friend had the fried oysters. The food was excellent. The service was, by far, the best I've ever had in the area. My wife and I are not fans of oysters (we hate them). We tried a few of our friends, they were very good, we liked them & would recommend them to anyone. The crab and shrimp were simply heaven on a plate.
Amazing food. Crab stew is out of this world. Love it.

Great food. Fried or broiled. HUGE servings don't over order on pre-entree items. BYOB suggested. Limited floor staff be patient. Decent prices. I don't recommend the crab stew or dinner salad. AC is not the best.
Got take out. Crab au gratin cooked/ served in a paper tray so you couldn't eat it without chunks of paper stuck in it and the portion was approx 2/3 cup and a few fries for $19? The menu says meals served w/ fries, cole slaw, hush puppies. Came with fries only. My fish sandwich appeared to be served on a hotdog bun for $13. We had high hopes based on reviews.

I'm going middle of the road with 3 stars. We ate Friday night getting ready for the parade. We knew it would be a good bit of a wait, apparently this is normal. There were not that many ppl there when we were there, 2 groups of approx 8, 6 tables with 1-2 ppl. A friend said they only had 1 fry cook but they actually had 2. Every one at our table ordered child shrimp of dif types except one fish sandwich and an oyster child size. After almost an hour we get our food. Plates had cold/ luke warm food on them, oyster plate was good and hot. My husband's plate didn't even come out. Waiter did not notice this. I had to stop him and tell him that we were missing a child's fried shrimp. He says "Oh, I'll get that." After about 5 minutes I'm thinking he's forgotten again so I go ask him about it. His response "Oh, I'm getting it." So now I'm not so happy because obviously this plate was forgotten and never cooked. I asked him if it was forgotten several times, in which his response each time is "no". Each time he said no I tell him it obviously was forgotten and by the time my husband gets his plate we will have eaten ours and what are they going to do about it? Finally he admits that it was forgotten and by then that plate is ready so he runs off, grabs it, rushes to our table. My husband's plate was the second hot plate at the table, lol. Later I was told by an employee that our food had been sitting, the waiter wasn't coming to get it when signaled and that he did indeed forget that child shrimp plate. Now I usually do not complain, however I should not have been lied to when I knew infact that the plate was indeed forgotten after sitting there right at an hour for food in a restaurant that barely had anyone in it during our wait, we all ordered things that were fried with the exception of a grilled shrimp and shrimp sure does not take long to cook. If the issue was indeed with the waiter, someone please help him. He is young and most of these young folks need extra guidance these days (they get distracted easily), but I also know that the kitchen staff heard/saw me talking to the waiter and someone should have taken over the situation with a better response.
Polite friendly staff but the food is downright disgusting.. I am out $100 and threw both our dinners out. Now we’re hungry and out a bunch of money.

Quaint little dive with some of the best fried shrimp I've ever had... flounder was also very tasty as was the key lime pie, quite the bargain at only $2.50 a slice. Great service too. A fun little adventure driving there from Savannah... don't forget to stop off at America's smallest church on the way!

Very nice staff. Fried shrimp, scallops, trout and flounder were all done well. Hushpuppies passed muster, which from a southerner is pretty high praise. Watch your step! A fair amount of different levels, steps, etc. Hold onto your mamas or go slow!

Ray and I just had a great meal at Speeds. Portions were large and my oysters were fried perfectly …..soft, just the way I asked. The shrimp were great and the hush puppies are the best around. They even had Butter, not margarine spread! Kallie was our waitress. She was sweet and very attentive. We’ll go back, now that they are like the Speeds of old?

Crab cakes had no taste. The fried whole trout was OK. After complaining, they took on the crab cake charge, very nice of them.
