After bar hopping around St. Simons Island, we stopped by The Half Shell SSI for oysters. There was…read moreabout a 20-minute wait, so we walked a block up until our buzzer went off. I had a prosecco and ordered the blackened flounder special with mashed potatoes, broccoli, and mushrooms--everything was really good. The oysters from Tybee Island were fresh and hit the spot. Our waitress Jen was great, and we ended with a butter cake for dessert. We were celebrating a friend's birthday, and it was a solid experience overall. Definitely a place I'd come back to for a casual date night.

Two of us came here Sunday afternoon. This was my first visit but my friend had been here before…read more We were seated quickly and our waitress came and took our drink orders. It was cold and windy so we wanted something warm but all they had was coffee. The decor is nautical but the place is smaller than I expected. I had oysters that were broiled in butter and lemon and garlic. They were ok....didn't come with a side but I got the bacon wrapped green beans and they were very good. We had onion rings that were huge and done well, My friend had fried shrimp and was pleased. We had " butter cake" with ice cream for dessert, it was ok. This is not in my top five on Ssi but I'm glad we tried it.

Went to Fiddlers last night. Great location and good vibe. We were seated quickly which was…read moresurprising for a group of 9. Service was excellent. One piece of advice.....stay away from the scallops. Worst scallops I've ever had. Ordered them grilled but they looked like they had been boiled and covered with heavy spice.....terrible! All the other meals looked great but they really need to simplify the scallops. It's not that hard to do.

If I could only recommend one restaurant on St. Simon's, it would be Fiddler's. This place has it…read moreall. Stellar cocktails, friendly service, great views, modern design aesthetic, and incredible food. My only gripe is that they do not take reservations, though even on a Friday night, I've been able to get seated within 20-30 minutes, and you can always grab a drink from the bar and hang out on the lawn while you wait. This most recent visit, I started with the seafood chowder, one of my favorite soups on the island. Creamy, hearty, with plenty of fish, shrimp, crab, and potatoes. Shared a crabcake with my girlfriend--another solid choice, with plenty of crab, not too heavy on the filling, and with a lovely remoulade. For mains, we both had the grilled redfish, a baked potato for me, and mixed veggies for her. Perfectly cooked pieces of fish with a nice crust on the outside while still being moist and tender. Dessert this time was the chocolate pie, which was quite nice, not being too heavy nor excessively sweet. Did I mention the cocktails? I'm a big fan of the smokey mango Fiddlerita (a mezcal take on the classic marg), and the saladito a close second (again, mezcal, but with a little honey and cayenne). The girlfriend enjoys the basil smash (hold the simple syrup, please). Previously, we've tried the artichoke dip, which is also fantastic, shrimp and grits (solid, but Reid's does it better), blackened tripletail over creamy leek sauce (a special, and special indeed), and the key lime pie (excellent). You really can't go wrong here.

The wait time is not long at all and you can enjoy all of the fun people there enjoying themselves also it's an experience.

There seems to be a more spacious feeling to the restaurant and the brick work is now a bit lighter in color. As always, the scallops were cooked to perfection as well as the salmon! This place always has a great vibe! I have written a couple of other reviews on Yelp or maybe it was Open Table for Crabdaddy's in the past and always 5 stars. I've been coming here for 30 years and never have had a negative experience! If visiting or new to the island put this on the list you won't leave disappointed. Strongly encourage making reservations as they're always busy! That's a good thing!

I've eaten here probably five times over the past year and a half and it rarely disappoints…read more Definitely an island stalwart. You can't go wrong with the crab soup as a starter. Any fish over angel hair pasta is exceptional. Their blackened fish can be hit or miss... had the blackened grouper last week and it was good, but a little heavy on the seasoning, at the expense of being able to taste the fish. And the bread pudding, my god, the bread pudding. This is one of my all-time favorite desserts and I would put Crabdaddy's bread pudding up against any other restaurant on the island. Service is usually excellent, too. Easily in my top five restaurants on SSI.

Go for fresh raw oysters, St. James River, Louisiana, and sometimes Tybee Island farmed oysters. The steamed oysters were also tasty. It's great if you love extra large oysters that are larger than the saltines that come with them. Per the restaurant's website, Happy Hour is from 3 to 6 pm Sunday - Friday. They do take reservations and on busy weekends they are likely needed. Ask your server what is included in the Happy Hour. On the night (3/09/26) we were there the cost of individual oysters was $1.50 during Happy Hour. Service was pleasant and quick. We did have a reservation. The fried shrimp were jumbo-sized. They were tough and had to much breading.

Nothing wrong with this, it just caught me a little off guard. They boast an excellent selection of craft beer as well as a really fancy cocktail/mix drink list.

It's a nice a place to hang out get and drink and eat some food. I'd be happy to dip back in the next time I'm in the area.

For the main course we tried the flounder prepared a few different ways--one fried, one pan-seared, and one bronzed--and each one was fantastic.
