    Saturday late lunch time. No waiting and got a table immediately. Host walks us to the table and server comes to take order. I got Po Boy with fried shrimp. I think options were grilled, boiled and fried shrimp. Fried shrimp was really good! I just wished there were more fried shrimp. Complimentary self serve ice cream was really a nice treat. There were vanilla, mix and chocolate with toppings to add such as crushed peanuts, caramel syrup, chocolate syrup etc. For a tourist area, it was a good price with good portion restaurant. It felt like I was in Florida rather than in Georgia with all the interior decorations!

    Shrimp tacos (could have been 3)

    A good tour spot right on the water. Also would be a good local place to hang out and watch games at the bar. Hailey was a very good server, checked on us quite often and accommodated one of the requests regarding oysters (steamed and raw mixed). We even met her mom, the manager... She was very friendly, had great conversation with her. A crabcake sandwich was bigger than I expected, and it was delicious. A little messy, the crabcake didn't stay together very well. A few items were a little pricey, but that's to be expected considering where you are. Great beer selection. Overall, I would go again when in town. Beautiful area!!

    Shrimp appetizer with bacon wrapped, buffalo, fried and one other flavor.

    The service was the best part of the meal as our waitress was really friendly and apologetic about us not liking one item we ordered! First, Georgia Shrimp is a thing around here and they are proud of their shrimp,... but the appetizer with four different styles of shrimp is not a good representation of that. We also had two soups that tasted out of can and the pear Martini. After that we called it a night and went somewhere. Sorry, this restaurant was not for me.

    Best crab cake I've ever had, hands down. This has been our favorite place on the Island for years and it just keeps getting better. This trio we were only here for a short time and chose to eat at Iguanas for all three dinners because it's just that good. Have tried so many different things and not a single thing has been less than amazing.

    She crab soup yummy

    Lunch. I had their shecrab soup yummy. Wife and I split a grilled chicken sandwich nice size piece of chicken. Service good food okay. They have complimentary ice cream yummy. Be sure to try the peanut butter sauce.

    This was our first time coming to iguanas and it was amazing. Evan was a great server and very attentive! He checked in often and made sure we were taken care of. We got the Caesar salad and shrimp and grits. Let me tell you, I HAVE ABSOLUTELY HATED GRITS UNTIL NOW. I will 10/10 be back. It was also dog friendly which was a huge plus after a day at the beach.

    Complimentary ice cream

    Enjoy a delicious flounder dinner today. It was seasoned to perfection, with the perfect crisp. Service was wonderful, the manage even came by our table to greet us. The ambiance was pleasant.

    Absolutely a MUST when at St Simons! At the pier & SUPER quaint! Great prices, very friendly staff, DELICIOUS food & a great patio to watch the world go round. I believe I need to come back every day through the rest of our visit to the island.

    One of the few places open on Christmas Day for dinner. The restaurant was fully decorated for Christmas inside and out. They even make it snow every few minutes. The service was friendly and very good. The dinners all come hush puppies, and one side. I got the fired shrimp and fries. The shrimp were good size, and lightly coated. My wife had the clams and said they were good and well seasoned. My daughter had the mahi and the shrimp combo. Nice size piece of fish and cooked just right.

    While it's an interesting place and the staff is friendly the food was just so/so. The raw oysters were medium size and not shucked properly. The crab bisque soup very thick but somewhat tasteless. The shrimp platters were ok but the po boy was good. The onion rings while fresh were just warm and soggy. I think the best part is the feee soft serve ice cream at the end.

    Calamari
    Lisa S.

    A must return kind of establishment! Between the scrumptious food, ambience and excellent staff, I couldn't have had a better experience! Big Mike was the manager and Roland was my server. Only positive perspectives about both gentleman comes to mind! I had a house salad, crab cake, calamari and pear martinis. Each one was delicious. When I return to the area, I'll be sure to return!

    Shrimp scampi
    Debbie M.

    We ended up going here twice during our stay. The first time our server was Jade. She was great. They have a nice selection of beer and we tried a few. All were good but our favorite was the Harps UFO. Entrees were Calamari, Coconut Shrimp, shrimp scampi, shrimp dinner, BLT and Fish sandwich. All excellent. It's a cute place with colorful decor. The seats could be more comfortable but that's fine. Oh and for dessert- free ice cream.

There were some great options which made choosing difficult, but we tried the biscuits and gravy (go ahead - get 2 biscuits!) and the fried chicken and biscuit. Both were great! The sandwich wasn't huge so it was a perfect amount for breakfast. We sat inside - it's very cute - with a market and to go as well as the tables. Food comes up fast and is really reasonably priced! The chicken was perfectly fried - not greasy - and the hot honey was a nice touch (and thankfully, not too hot). Good bathrooms and lots of tasty looking items in the refrigerated cases (including various types of seafood to cook).

I decided on a grits bowl . I was shocked at ghe size of the bowl when it was delivered a short while later. Huge is an understatement. The grits were well done, the bacon plentiful and lots of cheese. I could only finish about half of it. Really nice dish I will get again. There's not a lot of tables, and it would be hard for a large group but even if you have to wait for a table, it is worth the wait! I will return!

You can order coffee to go at the service counter, and they have a variety of options to make it what you want. There can be a bit of a wait because the coffee is made fresh at the espresso bar, and busy times can cause a delay (understandable). The staff was working as hard as they could.

We were told that it would be about an hour and a half for a table we were ok with that and put our name on the list. I would say it took about an hour for a table. Our server immediately came to the table to ask for our drink orders so we thought we were off to a great start. She also took our food orders rather quickly. However, after that she pretty much disappeared on us. She never once came by to ask if we needed any more mimosas or refills on our waters. She didn't even let us know that the kitchen was backed up. We had to ask the hostess to look for her as it had been 45 minutes after ordering and we had no sign of her. She was outside texting. She then came by and said it's a holiday weekend it's going to be busy and then walked away. Our food was delish and we really liked what we ordered but by the time we got it we had been at the restaurant for at least an hour after ordering. I had the breakfast sandwich that was basically like a bacon and and cheese with tomato on a sandwich with cheesy grits on the side. We waved her down to close out and left right after we finished eating. Server was not friendly or attentive.

Their selection of beverages was also great, clearly in line with what beach goers would want/need. Girl behind the counter was super sweet and helpful. We loved her. So why the four star review? There was a gentleman who was either the owner or manager. We asked about covid regulations and not only was he unfamiliar with local, state, or federal regulations, he seemed to not care in the slightest. (Cue a nonchalant shrug, arrogant smirk, and a "I dunno," as though it's preposterous that a patron may be curious as to policy during a pandemic.) He also was not wearing a mask, despite the girl at the counter wearing one the entire time. In sum, great concept with a fantastic clerk....but the leadership needs some work.
