We're lucky enough to live in a state which not only has an incredible nature scene but also boasts a beautiful coast. The Georgia coast is a wonderment in itself, but dining there is a whole different story. In fact, some might even say that the coastal restaurants in Georgia are the tastiest in the state. Take a look at these 12 restaurants and see for yourself.
1. Huc-A-Poos—1213 US Hwy 80, Tybee Island, GA 31328
This no-frills spot along the Georgia coast features a huge variety of gigantic slices of pizza. Huc-a-Poos is casual, friendly, and the perfect spot to relax after a long day sunnin' and funnin'.
2. North Beach Bar & Grill— 33 Meddin Dr, Tybee Island, GA 31328
This local hot spot features an incredibly delicious array of apps and entrees that will satisfy all who visit. White truffle lobster roll with sweet potato fries anyone?
3. The Rooftop at Ocean Lodge— 935 Beachview Dr, St Simons Island, GA 31522
Coastal cuisine with a unique Southern twist, this oceanfront spot is perfect for the ultimate date night. Not only are there beautiful views, but the food is to-die-for. At least after you eat, you’ll be closer to heaven a few flights up.
4. Driftwood Bistro— 1175 N Beachview Dr, Jekyll Island, GA 31527
You’ll be hard pressed to find shrimp and grits as good as the ones you’ll get at Driftwood Bistro. This inexpensive yet extremely flavorful place is a great go-to with the entire family to feast on a Friday night.
5. Barbara Jean’s— 214 Mallory St, St. Simons, GA 31522
People come from all over to taste the home-cooked dishes from Barbara Jean's. Even if you aren't too hungry, make sure you get desserts...ordering just one wont suffice.
6. Driftaway Café— 7400 Skidaway Rd, Ste D, Savannah, GA 31406
Do you like fresh seafood? Maybe well-plated food? How about a beachy vibe and laid back atmosphere? If your answer is yes to one or all of those things, then Driftaway Cafe is all you need.
7. The Blue Goose— 126 Osborne St, St. Marys, GA 31558
If you're looking for a peaceful afternoon with some scrumptious meals, then Blue Goose is your place. Or maybe even just a glass of wine and delectable cheese. It's simple, tasty, and satisfying every time.
8. Old School Diner— 1080 Jesse Grant Rd NE, Harris Neck, GA 31331
Old School Diner is a fan-favorite for residents and visitors. It's kitschy and catchy and always worth the trip. If you're looking for a HUGE mouthwatering menu item, then the Wheelchair Platter is where it's at.
9. CoCo’s Sunset Grille— 1A Old US Hwy 80, Tybee Island, GA 31328
CoCo's Sunset Grille is a staple for anyone who craves succulent seafood. But if there is one thing you HAVE to eat at CoCo's before you die, it's the fried strawberries. YUM.
10. Southern Soul Barbeque— 2020 Demere Rd, Saint Simons Island, GA 31522
Some say this is the best barbecue in Georgia. Others says the country. We just say it's darn good food on the Georgia coast that you need to try at least once in your lifetime. Especially to slather on their special sauces.
11. The Crab Shack— 40 Estill Hammock Rd, Tybee Island, GA 31328
With the freshest seafood in Georgia and the best views around, The Crab Shack is a staple for people visiting the state. Split the seafood platter for two and a few cold ones, for a true Southern seafood experience.
12. Coastal Kitchen—102 Marina Dr, St. Simons, GA 31522
A Raw bar. Outdoor seating. Free-flowing wine. Live music. Sounds like the perfect date night, but also sounds like the type of restaurant that dreams are made of.
