    MARGARITA.
    Scott B.

    I know this place has a very high rating but I'm sorry we didn't get that during our latest visit on 5-8-26. Yes, latest visit since we also visited June 2025, and gave that visit a 4 star. Let me say there were several issues during this visit. First, they didn't have a common beer available, claiming they ran out of Corona. Now it is a Friday night and you're going into the weekend without one of the most popular beers - just crazy. Next I ordered the Low Country Boil, well after a few minutes another person comes to me as says they have no potatoes for the meal and offered extra sausage to make up the meal. I accepted that. When my meal came out, the server now tells me they owe me 2 more pieces of corn and they would quickly bring that to me. Guess what - never got them. The two pieces I did get were cold - I mean not fully boiled/cooked. Icy cold inside. Now we were with several other couples and one couple had to ask for their drinks a second time. Fact is their meal came out before their first drinks. I have to also mention the men's rooms. I was clearly hadn't been checked or cleaned in a while. Now let's face it, it got screwed up due to nasty guests, but staff really need to check it every so often. Folks I visit Tybee twice a year and there are plenty of options on the island. I think the Zunibar has lost my future business, as well as the 3 other couples we were with. If you choose here you have been warned. I hope you have a better visit.

    mango frozen margarita was so good, just sweet enough fire island sandwich- good amount of fish, I wish the spicy mayo was a little spicier, my fries were a little salty, but their ranch is to die for service was amazing, super quick and we were seated right away. It was a beautiful day and it was nice to sit in the shade and listen to some music

    Cute spot for lunch. Sat alongside the side of the restaurant with a view of the street. Good service and quick to refill our drinks. Ordered the Fire Island sandwich with chips and my mom ordered the poke bowl. Pretty good sandwich, tiny bit salty tho. The poke bowl was good as well but could've been helped with a bit of sriracha but they didn't have any.

    Stopped in for drinks, got more than we could ask for! Took a seat at the bar, great bartender- we actually got to know all of them! Great conversation and lots of real "local" information. Drinks are crafted with care, the many of ingredients made on site. The oysters; local tender and tasty. The pickled pink peppercorn mignonette was a great surprise. Got the house smash burger, bun grilled on both sides, patty with the right amount of crust and a house sauce that packed just enough welcome heat. The drinks, absolutely tasty!

    Truly wonderful restaurant on Tybee! We loved the outdoor seating with our kids, and the food was really tasty. Our favorites were the chips & smashed avo (don't skip out on it, it's AMAZING!!), the wings, & the banana hammock drink. Probably the best blended drink I've ever had! So tropical and refreshing. Servers were very kind and hospitable, just docking one star for servers knowledge. She didn't seem very confident in the menu, and when we would ask questions such as "is it grilled chicken or fried in the kids taco" she would say "I believe it's grilled." Or it was noon and we wanted to order the shrimp, and she said "I believe it's not available until later". She didn't seem so sure and didn't really make an effort to find out to be sure. Overall, wonderful restaurant that I highly recommend!

    Amazing cocktails and super fast and polite service...even for a weekday at a really off time! Cute spot, lots of seating, both inside and outside. Food was surprisingly good! Shout out to our server, she was really the standout!

    We came here with a friend on a popular weekend. Most tables were reserved for evening celebration we beat that rush by couple hours and were seated promptly. The drink service was a little slow but the food came out super fast. Our food was delicious and we really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere.

    Asked my boyfriend how his sandwich was and he just gave a shrug which describes our whole experience basically. Convenient location with lots of shaded outdoor seating and "indoor" seating with tvs and fans going. They were out of a lot of stuff by 4:30. I asked for strawberry lemonade and was told they didn't have it, asked for NA beer and they were out, I settled on a sprite instead. Two sprites, a low country boil Nickys Way, Fishermans Deck and 20% tip brought our total to $50+. The house made chips that came with the sandwich were great, the low country boil definitely lacked flavor. Even with extra seasoned butter I had to scoop a ton to taste even a little extra umph.

    BEST PLACE EVER. Incredible service and incredible food! The vibes are immaculate here.

    Though a bit pricey for dinner and some cocktails, we had a really nice experience here. My wife and I ate dinner outside while a live musician played acoustic covers on a Friday night. Our server told us about their happy hour specials (if we signed up for their email/text list) so we took advantage and got some money off of our drinks and took home souvenir cups. The food was tasty. I enjoyed the falafel sandwich and my wife had a fish sandwich. The chips and dip were good that came with them. I was full when I was done. We stayed a couple of hours to have a coupe of drinks each, eat our meal, and enjoy the live music. There was a good crowd there- nice people having a good time, and a pleasant/healthy mix of chill vibes to party people. This is a place I'd return back to: good food, top notch service, fun drinks, happy hour specials, live music, and a fun atmosphere!

    I've always wanted to come here ever since they opened. I absolutely loved the open space and how everything was "outside". They had a ton of tvs to watch the spots and a ton of drink options, we only got drinks since we already had dinner plans but plan on coming back to try the food. I got the Cape Town Tea which was delicious! And my date got the dune buggy cocktail. Both were delicious!

    Oysters were really good and fresh!

    Guy Fieri would approve: Sea Wolf Tybee's Wagyu beef hot dog with "sea wolf" chili, microgreens,…read moreand a cilantro‑chorizo cream sauce was everything a gourmet dog should be--rich, layered, and totally worth the trip. Easily my best hot dog of 2026. The space is small and cool, and the staff makes you feel special. Our waiter and waitress were incredibly aware of every need, from refills to timing. If you like craft hot dogs with restaurant‑level execution, this place is a must‑try on Tybee.

    Do not get the coffee at Sea Wolf Tybee…read more In Sea Wolf's defense, our server told me as such. I ordered coffee, and he practically begged me not to. "Imagine Folgers... but worse," he said. I grew up on Eight O'Clock coffee--the only brand worse than Folgers-- so opted to brave the drip from Sea Wolf Tybee. How bad could it really be? Really bad. The Sea Wolf Tybee coffee was really, really, bad. The owners have made a deal with the barrier island devil where their successful establishment came at the expense of serving the worst coffee on earth. The coffee wasn't just bland, it was reeking with flavor, as if a tybee island horseshoe crab has been decaying in the coffee pot since the eatery was established in 2020. The server tried his hardest to prevent this 4-star review by warning me about the coffee, and in his defense the taste is not why I deducted Sea Wolf Tybee one star. I deducted one star because the vile 12oz cup of black drip coffee was $5 dollars. Like any diner at a lunch spot, I did not check the coffee's price before ordering it, assuming it'd be the standard $2-3 dollars. Even specialty coffee shops max their drip coffee prices at $4.50. Instead, Sea Wolf Tybee has opted to charge $5, rake-in a 95% profit margin, and exploit the trust of patrons who assume a cup of joe won't cost as much as Georgia's hourly minimum wage. I'm a former barista and coffee-lover, and $5 is the most expensive drip coffee I have ever encountered. Sea Wolf Tybee had outdone itself--the bill was more nauseating than the coffee.

Fannie's is a huge, 2-story restaurant with so much space right at the edge of the beach. It just calls out to you! So I headed on in. I let a woman at the door know that I wanted to sit upstairs and she directed me to the stairwell on the side of the building. I went up and came across their spacious upper dining room and deck which looked right out on the beach and boardwalk. Such a great oceanside vibe! As soon as I walked up I was greeted by a gentleman who seemed to be a manager of sorts. He guided me over to a table on the deck and left me with a menu. I appreciate not having to sit around looking crazy! Soon, a waitress named Nicki came over to help me. She was a sweetheart! During my visit I had their steamed oysters, rib plate and the frozen lemonade. The steamed oysters were a bittt overcooked but they worked! The ribs were superrr tender but I wish they had some more meat on them, but I was surprised at how tender they were. The frozen lemonade was delicious and super refreshing! I just don't feel like there was enough liquor in it, and I'm not even one to like too much liquor. All in all, a basic experience when it comes to food, but I was really impressed with the level of service I received, the timeliness of my order and the overall vibe of the restaurant. I'd go back if I'm ever on Tybee again!

Outdoor bar featured live music, which if you were dining on outside deck, you could also enjoy. We have been to Tybee many times, and I have to say..this is one of the best atmosphere's and quality meals we have ever had. Not your typical beach restaurant. Better! Absolutely adding to our rotation for future visits! PS they don't take reservations. Large place, you won't wait too long and it's worth it. We had our fill of outside time, so opted for indoors (same amazing oceanview & AC!) Had a great table by the window, could see the ocean. Our server Jenna H. was witty, attentive and had excellent menu recommendations. They were out of wings, and she suggested chicken tenders that she would have them baste in the wing sauce. Creative solution! The chip trio app is great with salsa, queso & guacamole. We enjoyed very much Asked about the fish & chips, and she said it was one of the most popular menu items because it was excellent. She was right!

    We decided to have dinner at this local favorite in Tybee Island. It is a good amount of outside…read moredining and very casual. You can choose your own seat here. The restaurant is right on the water in the middle of a marina, so fishing boats come in and they clean the fish not far from the restaurant's edge. We started off with a half pound shrimp that was hot and well seasoned. The tartar sauce was very spicy with horseradish. I tried the special Herb Salad. It was tasty but a little pricey at 18.63. It would have been tasty with some pecans or walnuts. For entrees we tried the shrimp and grits. Very tasty with red eye gravy on top. Was missing the sausage, but still very good. Shrimp was well seasoned. The scallop dinner was delicious. Came with Alfredo sauce, hush puppies and a side salad. Prices are fair for all local seafood, which is what you expect on Tybee. And you can taste the difference in the local seafood. Very fresh and tasty. My one negative here was food came out too fast. We were still enjoying salads, then the shrimp appetizer came out. We were still eating our shrimp app, and the entrees came out. Felt a little rushed. The server was ready to bring the check, but we asked for dessert first. They already ran out of one dessert and just had the special, which was cheesecake. I normally don't complain about food coming out too fast, but when you are rushing through your courses, it feels like they need your table quickly. Food was really good, so it was just easy enough to ask for to go boxes with what we could not finish. Go early so there is no wait. People were waiting as we were leaving.

    My kind of dump! LOL... don't let the rundown appearance fool ya, the food is awesome! See below…read morefor review of bathrooms though. We stopped here for lunch on a Tuesday, place wasn't too busy and the service was attentive and both drink and food came out quick. We had hush puppies and peel & eat shrimp to start. The hush puppies weren't much on their own (as they tend to be) but dipped in honey butter they were damn good and kind of addictive. The peel and eat shrimp were cooked perfectly, sweet and succulent. After peeling don't forget to devein if needed... about half our order had some mud vein remaining (which is fine for peel and eat, just remove it!). Then my wife and I split the lunch special, a double fried flounder sandwich with cheese and tartar sauce... a take on McDs double fillet-o-fish. It was amazing! The fresh flounder was cooked perfectly and was soft and juicy inside its crispy fried crust. My wife especially appreciated the toasted bun! The coleslaw that was the lunch special side wasn't great... under seasoned imo. I put a little malt vinegar, salt & pepper on it and it was fine. To finish it off we split a piece of key lime pie. This is the first time either of us had key lime pie, so we don't have much context to compare this to, but our experience with this key lime pie was amazing. The crust was one of the best graham crusts I've had. It was buttery and cooked to the point it had a caramel taste to it. The filling had a cheesecake taste and texture to it with a distinct citrus lime tang. The whipped topping was creamy and cool, a perfect complement to the custard-like filling. A wonderful dessert! Now, the only bad part of this review is of the bathrooms. As much as I like a dive bar, back country vibe... the bathrooms are gross. My wife was visibly disgusted when she returned to the table. Later in our trip she used the restroom at a Savannah gas station and joked it was the Taj Mahal compared to the restroom at Bubba Gumbo's. So, be warned... just hold it if you can! Bathrooms 1-Star... and that's just because they have one and it has running water LOL
