Food was excellent. I thought for the price though that the filet should have come with a starch and vegetable.

I was a bit surprised that the place was very accessible. Not too many people when I started but I am an early bird when it comes to dinner. The place grilled up very quickly. Our waitress was very friendly and suggested some good pizza for us. The meatballs were delicious!!! I will definitely be making a return!!!

Jekyll Island

About the restaurant

Stories of grits kissed by the morning sun, of shrimp boiled in secrets whispered by generations past. Here, flavors mingle like old friends at a backyard barbecue, each dish a love letter to the land and sea that birthed it. From the sizzle of fried chicken to the soulful embrace of Brunswick stew, every bite carries the weight of history and the promise of tomorrow. So let’s raise a glass to the South, to its timeless traditions and ever-evolving tastes. Because in the end, it’s not just about the food—it’s about the journey, the people, and the stories shared around the table.

Great spot for a small bite , nice view, and a cocktail or two. Staff was very accommodating as it was a windy and chilly night and we asked to be moved twice. Ended up sitting on a quaint sectional with a heater and red Christmas blankets which made it comfortable. Had the mulled wine which was great. The food was ok. Found it to be expensive for the small amount served. The tuna appetizer specifically was quite small. But really you go here for the ambience so I can’t complain too much.
