We had gone for lunch initially and thoroughly enjoyed our meals. I had shrimp tacos and my husband had fish and chips. Both were reasonably priced and more than ample servings. We went back for dinner the same night because my husband had noticed an item on the dinner menu he couldn't pass up. This was an 8 oz NY strip, a whole cluster of Alaskan snow crabs and garlic mashed for $16. Amazing and delishious!!Dear Joan C,Thank you for choosing the Beach House Restaurant, not just once but twice in one day! We sincerely appreciate your business and are delighted to hear that you thoroughly enjoyed your meals. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!Sincerely,Shelly Brown

Our family enjoyed the pool & a quick and delicious dinner during one of our nights staying at the hotel. Tables outside were perfect for a meal outdoors and casual. Our waitress was super helpful and made great suggestions. Everything from apps, pizza and dessert was delicious!! Highly recommendedThank you for the recommendation. We are happy to hear you had a nice dining experience at Eighty Ocean recently. We are glad the weather was cooperating and you were able to dine on the deck by the pool. As you may expect, our restaurant team wants you to have the best time possible, so it is nice to hear they were helpful. We certainly hope you will stop in again the next time you are on Jekyll.

We have eated at Red Bug's many times and the food is always great. We've had the pizzas, the calzones and salads. The salads are really large...my husband and I share a salad and a small pizza and have plenty to eat.This last visit, we were a little disappointed in the service. We usually have outstanding service, but on this occasion, we had a new, young waitress and she was not very attentive. We had to approach the bar and hunt someone down for refills and napkins. We almost felt as though we were putting her out by requesting refills/napkins. We chalked it up to a one time issue and don't hold it against Red Bugs and we will definitely continue to visit them when at Jekyll.

Jekyll Harbor Marina is indeed a pet friendly destination and most of our residents and visitors have canine family members which are always welcomed. We do however request that all owners keep their dog(s) on a leash and under their direct control while on the property.An unfortunate incident several weeks ago caused injury to one pet during an altercation on our premises. We sincerely regret that this situation occurred. The offending animal has been and is restricted from visiting the marina or restaurant property in the future.Bill WeeksJekyll Harbor Marina

We had a buffet lunch in the Grand Dining room at it was a great experience. The price was extremely reasonable and well worth it. The atmosphere can't be beat. I would definitely recommend that you try it!It sounds like you may have joined us for Sunday Brunch recently. It is a long standing tradition at the resort so we are happy to hear you had an excellent dining experience. We appreciate the recommendation and will look for you again on your next visit.

Serving Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. Great Menu. Open daily 7:00am-9:00pm Come try our Fresh Ga. Wild Shrimp. Best on Jekyll Island!!!
Reviewed By Paul52Atlanta
Although the name suggests its a breakfast place, it also serves lunch and dinner. A small joint across from the south side of the convention center, we had two very solid lunches there. My blackened Mahi sandwich was great but the fried shrimp .... to die for. The southeast Georgia coast has some of the best shrimp on the planet so when I say Sunrise had great shrimp I'm talking best of the best. Service was southern friendly. Seating both inside and outside.

Atmosphere was great! The food was outstanding! We ordered the fried okra appetizer. So good. My husband ordered the vegetable linguini, which came with a side salad, and I got the stuffed flounder, along with the squash casserole and green beans. So glad we ordered the âpetiteâ versions! We always order different entrees so that we can share/taste. Such good food!
