    Berry Crumble with ice cream --- sooo good....
    Charlene F.

    Food was excellent from appetizers, to entrees to desserts. Service was friendly and efficient. It's a small and cozy restaurant with some covered outdoor seating. It was too hot for us to sit outside so joined the indoor crowd. It can get a bit loud but nothing too bad -- a little louder talking helped. Location is a bit tricky (behind the orthodontist office -- pass Truist Bank to get to it on same side of the shopping center as Ace Hardware) but we had scouted it out earlier in the day and made dinner reservations (highly recommend). Everyone enjoyed every bite -- no complaints. Did I mention how great the service was? Serving size was perfect!

    Curried crab and shrimp cake sandwich
    Christine C.

    What a find. Beyond the typical local seafood, bringing in the curry levels up the flavor. Freshly made, the curried shrimp and crabcake sandwich is packed full of crab meat and not fillers. The hush puppies have a good traditional flavor with a little punch of crab. Delicious. Small place. I have a feeling I was lucky to get a seat because I showed up right after they opened. Worth a trip to Wilmington Island to have a meal here.

    Vegetable curry
    Matt N.

    Just fantastic all around. Stopped in closer to close (8:30pm) and the staff was super accommodating of us and even welcome our dog Food and drinks were all fantastic and freshly prepared - the vegetable curry was excellent and a clear highlight, even though everything else was so good! Great service, great ambiance - just a complete gem.

    Veggie Curry add Shrimp

    I would like to give Lili's another try. I ordered the Vegetable Curry add Shrimp. It was prepared well but it was not flavorful and I was disappointed in my choice. The ambiance was nice and our server was very attentive! The menu offers great variety and I think you just need to know what to order. Brunch may be better for me!

    I was staying on Tybee and remembered wanting to check out this restaurant when I was nearby the year before. It was during Covid so we called ahead and made a reservation for the patio. The moment we sat down it started raining. The patio is covered but this was a full on downpour so I was worried we were going to have to cancel our plan, but we were troopers and dealt with lightning and thunder plus a little leak over our table. Honestly, it made for quite a memorable dinner. We started with some wine and the baked brie which is a great appetizer. It's served charcuterie style with nut, berries, salami and more. It's great for sharing and a nice pre-dinner snack. We were both in the mood for steak and the 16oz ribeye was too tough to turn down. You can add fried shrimp or oysters for an upcharge and we both chose to add one of each. There was a lemon aioli we got on the side that was so good. You have to ask for it. All the food was excellent and the service was event better. If you're in the area or on Tybee, this is definitely a place to check out for a nice dinner.

    Had a salad with chicken added. Chicken was tough and dry. Felt ignored by the waitress.

    The service was good but I wasn't impressed with the food. It wasn't bad, just not very memorable. I'll have to give it a second chance.

    If I could give it a 0 I would…read more I had a very disturbing experience at The Bar Bar. My wife and I came in expecting a normal night out, but from the moment we walked in, something felt off. We called ahead and got no real acknowledgment, and when we arrived, no one greeted us or even looked our way. We ended up seating ourselves, and still--nothing. No service, no eye contact, no basic hospitality. What made it even more uncomfortable was that we appeared to be the only Black couple in the entire place, and the lack of acknowledgment made us feel completely unwelcome. It honestly felt like stepping back into a time where people were judged and ignored based on how they looked. That's not a feeling anyone should experience anywhere in 2026. We didn't cause a scene--we simply got up and left. But the experience stuck with us. Businesses should be places where everyone feels respected and acknowledged, regardless of who they are. I hope this place takes a serious look at how they treat ALL customers, because no one deserves to feel invisible or uncomfortable just for walking through the door.

    This is not the Bar Bar that was in city market! More elevated, and I like it. I received my wine…read morein a glass - if that helps you see the difference from what bar bar was when it was open in downtown Sav. They have tons of top shelf liquor, and plenty of seating. It's also an older crowd that seems to be here in the evenings. You should check it out! Didn't try their food or anything, but they have some great drink options.
