As a beachside retreat, Tybee Island brings together old and new – clapboard cottages and Bermuda- precisely that soft blend of natural marshes and Atlantic shoreline, modest history and seaside playground that makes Tybee a celebrated family vacation destination. At the south end of the island, the pier and pavilion stretches into the Atlantic, tempting people watchers and fishermen intent on capturing the ‘fish story’ catch of the day. And the authentically refurbished lighthouse and five-acre grounds and outbuildings remind us of her role in guiding mariners to the Savannah River for nearly 300 years. It is precisely that soft blend of natural marshes and Atlantic shoreline, modest history and seaside playground that makes Tybee a celebrated family vacation destination.Locals can’t compete with crimson sunsets, wading herons or silky sand dunes; but they roll out dining hospitality, shopping convenience and fun modes of transportation.

Get there early to get a seat. We had to pay to park though. Food and service were excellent. Fresh hot and made from scratch.

This restaurant is located on the highway to Tybee Island. It is one of the few food stops along the way. Brightly colored, the surroundings look great and I was very hopeful going in. The restaurant wasn't busy, possibly two/three other tables but there was no greeter and no servers to be seen. We waited I'd say ten minutes then a guy showed up and helped get us seated. Drinks came out slowly and they didn't check back on us for a while. The food was also unimpressive; we tried the crab soup (don't do it!!). It was terrible - oily broth and bland with a few tiny chunks of crab. I would say a waste of crab meat quite honestly. The fries with the main course was unseasoned, and the remainder of the food was edible but not worthy of review. To recap - food and service, two stars at most.This restaurant is a "skip-it"

Didnât know if we would find good food here after our afternoon at the beach but this was quite a pleasant surprise.There is a pretty extensive menu w hamburgers, seafood, steak, etc as well as some very good desserts. Everything tasted great and the staff here are very friendly. The drinks are also quite cheap.

When we planned this trip to Tybee, The Crab Shack was a must. Last time I visited, we ate there 2 nights in a row... it was that delicious. This time, I was a little disappointed. The crab legs and shrimpWere Amazing as always!! But everyone in our party that got potatoes noticed they were not fully cooked. We couldnât eat them. And had to askfor drink refills. Every. Time. And thatâs after the server spilled cups of ice water on 2 ladies in our party. We had a nice time and will go back, but it was just not up to their usual standard.Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're glad that you enjoyed our unique ambiance and our shrimp and Alaskan Snow crab, but we are terribly sorry to hear that you were disappointed in the service you received, as we always wish for our guests to have an exceptional experience. Please do always ask for a manager if ever there is anything that does not meet your expectations so we can take immediate corrective action.

Bubba Gumbo's is a family owned and operated business. We are a waterfront restaurant located on historic Lazaretto Creek on Tybee Island. All our seafood is local caught and served fresh to you. We are family friendly and also offer boat parking!

As many reviews have said, pulling up to this place behind old boat storage will make you wonder but it was great! We had excellent service and fresh seafood. My husband got the catch of the day and I got shrimp both steamed and fried and all was just wonderful.

Ran in here on a rainy night for something quick to eat. Such a fun, kitschy vibe! We were each getting a slice of pizza. A slice is a quarter of an 18â pizza and was delicious! Huge amount of food for a great price. They have a full bar, lots of options on tap, and a menu with great pizza, wraps and other tasty âbar food.â Our server was super friendly as well. Just fun to sit around, hang out, and watch the game.

Right now Gerald is updating the restaurant so watch for his reopening. A unique spot on a truly unique island. Gerald's restaurant on the main highway has a truly incredible menu. It might well be the best shrimp on Tybee plus the poorboy'sare exceptional. Also Gerald's catering is first rate.

The atmosphere is nice and clean. The food is amazing. We ended up eating there two days in a row because it was that good!! Me and my daughter both had the buffalo shrimp wraps and they were delicious. The serving size was big enough to have leftovers!!

Quaint local establishment under a giant angel oak tree serving Lowcountry cuisine with a Southern flair! Indoor and outdoor seating! Daufuskie islands only 5 bubble restaurant!
Reviewed By Shelliu
With small metal tables sitting under trees on the lawn and an unassuming curb appeal, you wouldnât expect an incredible seafood joint but thatâs just what Lucy Bellâs is. When you walk in to a small counter with a single guy behind it, you may think âhow can this place be the bestâ. Order the deviled crab, the shrimp dip and the grouper sandwich and you will be transported to a happy place. the shrimp tacos were also great. We frequent Hilton Head Island where there are great restaurants but nothing this simple, delicious, fresh and at a great price. We are still talking about it days later. Definitely stop by!! Thank you so much for posting this flattering review and are pleased that you tried a variety of our dishes that exude our Southern influences on cuisine! Come back soon!
