I had the calabash fried scallops!! So good, and so many I could not finish them!! I have nothing negative to say about this place!! Hubby had grouper, so good!!
Great food and service tonight! Prices are inflated a little, but to be expected here on the island. Easy access from the road.Seafood was prepared Calabash style and offered fresh catch options.
We ate at Turtle Island on a Friday night. The place was really busy. They seated us quickly and our waitress was fast and friendly. Everyone in our group enjoyed their food. I got the Calabash shrimp with fries and coleslaw. Really good!
Very nice restaurant. The crab stuffed flounder with hollandaise is killer. Its basically a crab cake but instead of breading, it’s surrounded by flounder. Most restaurants mess up hollandaise by making it too buttery. Hollandaise should be that perfect balance between the richness of the egg yolks, the butter, and any extra add ins. I’m pleased to say that Turtle Island’d hollandaise is perfect in my opinion. The grits were also absolutely phenomenal. Best grits I’ve ever had, and single handed my made me want to try the shrimp and grits next time I go back!
Awesome spot. Great seafood, friendly and fast service. Crab dip and grouper were both fantastic. Saved my wife and I two nights in a row when no other restaurant in town had availability for dine in OR take out in OCTOBER! Highly recommend.
Awesome food. Was seriously impressed with the dining here. Wait staff, bartender and hostess were exceptional. We will definitely be eating here again. The food was perfect and shrimp were some of the freshest and best I have ever had.
I have several places, for different types of food is n OKI. Like pizza, burgers, seafood and so on. But overall Turtle Island is me favorite. My go to is the fried baby flounder. If they have it, the prime rib is killer also.
I have several places on the island I like. But Turtle Island with the Whole Baby Flounder & Prime Rib is me #1
Hands down best Crab legs I’ve ate in a long time! Didn’t need any sauce they were so tasty! Also ordered shrimp and they were amazing as well! My boyfriend got the shrimp and grits which he absolutely loved and wanted to go get more before we left the beach! Great service from the waiter
Packed on the night we went. We got there just before 5, when they opened. There were more than enough people waiting to fill the place. NO social distancing. Few wearing masks. We were pretty uncomfortable with that. The food was pretty good, some very good. The homemade coconut cake, wasn't very coconut-y, but it was STELLAR. Order it as soon as you arrive, it generally sells out.

Great food and amazing service. Crab legs were perfectly steamed. The shrimp app was great. My Mom had the fried shrimp and oysters. Wish I could have eaten here twice!!
Our first time in OKI. Excellent service, our server Adam was amazing!
Ate there last night and had to wait 20 minutes before our waitress even came to get our drinks, then had to wait another 30 minutes for her to take our order. When the food came out my steak wasn’t even cooked the way I asked, in fact it was somehow rare on one side and very well done on the other. Not to mention it took another 30 minutes after ordering to even get our food. My wife got coconut shrimp and hers had no flavor what so ever. Definitely will never come back to this place and definitely will not recommend people here
Great food didn't have to wait but 5 mins got seated food came quickly definitely good place to eat
Great food and atmosphere. The menu is diverse. I have never ordered anything that I wasn't thrilled with
