I’ll never forget the first time Cassie and I went to Indigo Shanty. It was almost surreal. Like we were in a completely different world… in a homey, friendly and relaxing world which nearly exactly describes the food here. It’s tucked off the beaten path a bit but close enough to walk to if you’re…
One part of our family is large – I mean like they have been very busy kind of large. They have been coming to St Simons Island for years and, of course, our house is just not big enough to accommodate such a crowd. Sadly most restaurants aren’t either, or they’re overpriced for such a…

When I first walked into Broomelli Boys Pizzeria with the my show hosts, the smell of fresh dough and roasted garlic in a fiery brick oven smacked me with delirious delight. You know that scent.

My family has been in the South since before the War of Northern Aggression. I know a thing or two about barbecue. You can really get messed up coming to Hootenanny’s thinking you’ll get the traditional pulled pork with sticky sweet sauce, white bread, baked beans and coleslaw. It’s not here. Think more like Charro…

When I first walked into 24 Coastal Grill, I didn’t expect to find one of Jekyll Island’s most relaxing dinner spots tucked inside the Holiday Inn Resort. But sometimes the best meals are hiding in plain sight — and this one comes with an ocean view that does half the talking. The restaurant’s coastal-casual design…
