Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Tybee Island

The best experience I have had at a restaurant. I went here to celebrate my birthday and was greeted by a warm ambiance, kind smiles, and a clean environment. My waitress was kind and warm and explained the menu and specials phenomenally, and even convinced me to try something new. My boyfriend and I ordered the bison short rib, and the antelope(trying something new) and they were PHENOMENAL. We got cocktails they were presented beautifully and tasted amazing and began the night with an alligator appetizer with house made buttermilk ranch that was everything. All of the staff consistently checked on us and our food was brought out promptly and hot! Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone!

We really enjoyed dinner at Dockside! The food was excellent with generous portions. I had the lobster mac and cheese and have never tasted anything better! Will definitely be back!

Here’s a sample review you can use or adapt: We had an absolutely delightful experience at the Pirates House! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a perfect balance of unique and comfort. The service was outstanding—our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and made us feel truly welcomed. The food was exceptional, with every dish beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The fried green tomatoes as appetizer and the pecan fried chicken were absolute standouts. You can tell the chef puts great care and thought into the menu. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a memorable experience. ♥️

We had a delicious dinner, my swordfish was great. My wife LOVED the sheepshead fish and was very very pleased, still commenting it was so good. Our server, Lauren, was terrific. She was efficient, professional, friendly and perfectly attentive. Great night to celebrate our 41 anniversary. Thank you Margaret.

Service and food was exceptional. We came for lunch and the service we received and the food we ate were both absolutely incredible. This was our best meal of our weekend trip and we are incredibly thankful to the staff.
