Georgia Sea Grill on St. Simons Island
After having a full day of running around the very beautiful St. Simons Island and relaxing at The King and Prince I had worked up an appetite and was ready to eat. I was very happy to head out to one of St. Simons notable places to go for dinner, Georgia Sea Grill. I can say I was not disappointed!
Georgia Sea Grill was first able to seat 34 people upon its opening in 1997. Now they have obtained a big reputation and seat 150 guests for dinner. There are ample places to sit that all provide their own atmosphere. There is also a wine and a regular bar. We sat in a more inclusive room off the main dining room.

The staff was so nice, true southern hospitality at its finest. If you don’t know, I rarely drink, but I decided to order a speciality drink upon a recommendation. I ended up ordering Jenny’s Pomegranate Cosmopolitan. Needless to say that drink wasn’t for me, but the waiter was so attentive he noticed I wasn’t drinking it and quickly replaced it with a refreshing non alcoholic beverage.

After looking over the menu several times it became apparent that choosing an entrée was going to be difficult. There were so many delicious sounding things to choose from. We started off with appetizers. I chose the crab stuffed hush puppies. I was also able to try the fried calamari and crab rice. All were absolutely delicious. I really think I should have ordered the crab rice as well. The bread was extremely good too! I was already getting full. Don’t worry, my new friends and I were sharing!

After narrowing down my entrée picks to three choices, I decided to ask the waiter what he recommended. So with his recommendation I order the short braised ribs, smashed fingerling potatoes, asparagus, and shiitake mushrooms. While I waited for my entrée a half potion mixed green salad came. It had oranges, toasted hazelnuts, and citrus vinaigrette.

The salad was really good. The waiter informed me that the short braised ribs haven’t been on the menu long. I hope they are going to stay on it because it was absolutely delicious. Very flavorful and tender. I was able to cut it with a butter knife. I was also able to taste some Cajun salmon which was also good and had a spicy kick. I was getting really full at this point and was making an attempt to save room for dessert. The room didn’t exist for anyone, but guess what? We made it work!
The dessert menu also have some great choices. I was a little cold so I opted for the warm chocolate cake with chocolate crumble and ganache. I completely made room for it, because I promise you I ate the entire thing! It was moist and heavenly. It was a great size portion for such a full person like myself.
And I also made a tad more room to try some bourbon-brown sugar cheesecake with salted caramel sauce. It was really flavorful. A couple of bites was all I could muster because I was so full. I was ready to just be rolled out of there from all the great food.
The Georgia Sea Grill is such a nice restaurant with a great atmosphere. The chef and wait staff were some of the nicest attentive people! The food was so enjoyable that I ate myself into a food coma. The prices are very reasonable and they even have a gluten-free menu. I can’t wait to get back to St. Simons Island to have another dinner there.
Have you ever eaten at Georgia Sea Grill?

Wow! Everything looks delish! I especially like an attentive waiter. He sensed that you didn’t like your drink and quickly sought to remedy that.
Holly Dayz
It really was. The food was so good! Yes I really appreciated him for being so attentive and helping me decide on things to order.

It was really good. I wish I could have fit more of into my stomach lol

I thought the hush puppies pictured were falafel balls. I haven’t had hush puppies since I was a little girl. Your post brought make sweet food memories.
Holly Dayz
I am glad you got some great memories back.
mommytalkshow
The hushpuppies and cosmo get my vote! I’ll have to check it out next time we got to the GA coast.
Holly Dayz
I hope you do because you will certainly enjoy it.

I love pomegranate so would have chosen that same cosmo cocktail! The food looks really good too.
Holly Dayz
The food was excellent!
Tamara Elliott
What a feast- that pomegranate cosmo looks right up my alley!
Holly Dayz
It truly was a feast. i was so full.

My parents live on Amelia Island, FL, not too far away from St. Simons. We usually drive up to St. Simons when I visit, but never made it to Georgia Sea Grill, as we usually go to Barbara Jeans. I’ll see if I could convince my folks to break from tradition and try something new next time!
Holly Dayz
Oh I hope you can break them away to try this place because it was really good!
gobeyondbounds
I loved the ambiance its so soothing and pleasant. The food looks delicious especially the tempting chocolate cake
Holly Dayz
The cake was tempting. As full as I was I ate the entire thing.
Rob
The food you describe sounds delicious and if I ever get to St Simons Island I will definitely check out the Georgia Sea Grill. That bourbon brown sugar cheesecake with salted caramel sauce would be worth the visit to the restaurant alone. Braised ribs are one of my favorite dishes I hope they keep them on the menu.
Holly Dayz
It was so delicious! You would enjoy it, especially the dessert. The ribs were really good and so tender. I hope they keep it on the menu as well.

Hush puppies at a deep south seafood restaurant. hmmmm good eating but it didn’t stop there. You went for the double desert. I love your commitment to your readers that would undertake such a naughty endeavor for us. Thank you. Good thing there are 26 miles of bike trails at the King and Prince to work it off.
Holly Dayz
It was a hard commitment lol because I was certainly stuffed to the max. You are right!
RoarLoud
I would picked many of the same off the menu, especially the warm chocolate cake! Dessert is my favorite part of the meal so I always save room 🙂
Holly Dayz
It is mine too. I usually try and take a peek at the dessert menu first if I can lol.
Laura
That cheese looks yummy. What a great combo of flavours.
Holly Dayz
I really like the honey too. I keep thinking about it.
Sabrina Barbante
the way the food is served is so accurate and elegant! This worths a prize on its own!
Holly Dayz
It was delicious.
David Crowley
sounds like a great meal! I haven’t made it to that part of Georgia…in fact I didn’t know where St. Simon island was until I saw that mentioned on one of your graphics.
Holly Dayz
It really was. Now you have a new place to potentially check out.

Looks like a great eatery! The dessert looks so good!
Holly Dayz
Dessert was great.
Elissa
I’ve heard the phrase “true southern hospitality” quite a few times but haven’t yet had the opportunity to travel there and experience it. Sounds like a fabulous place to visit.
Holly Dayz
It is alive and well there. It is great and I hope you get to experience it soon.
Evelyne CulturEatz
Oh whata great meal! I would love that Cosmo and great choice on the short braised ribs!

All the food was delicious which is why everyone ate until they could literally bust
