  • Guaranteed Deliciousness at TupTim Thai

    Like a lot of great hidden gems, TupTim Thai is tucked away in a less than impressive strip of shops that include a smoke shop, but even the exterior of TupTim is attractive, colorful, warm and inviting. There is something odd about the directional arrows in the parking lot but this isn’t an article about…

  • Daddy Cate’s: The Time Tested Community Coffee Shop We Love

    Brunswick has such a hometown feel to it. It’s one of the things we love most about downtown, and one of the very reasons for that is the 20 plus year presence of Daddy Cate’s Coffee. It is such a welcoming place with such wonderful aromas that greet you when you open the door. It…

  • We Ate Our Way Through The Best PorchFest Ever

    Brunswick PorchFest turns historic Old Town porches into live music stages for a one-day community festival that keeps growing every year – like 10,000 plus this year. Inspired by the original PorchFest in Ithaca, this local version began in 2018 thanks to neighbors with a simple idea: performers + porches = community. And there were…

  • Nautica Joe’s is My New Happy Place for Lunch in Downtown Brunswick

    We stumbled into Nautica Joe’s for lunch on a Wednesday at the insistence of our friend Shayne from Blacksheep Pickers. Shayne never steers you wrong. It was packed, and for good reason: their food is fresh, creative and delicious and the service is friendly and efficient. The decor is a thing of beauty. It’s clean…

  • Come See Why Sal’s Pizza is a Community Favorite

    Where flavor, family, and friendliness come together A rainy Saturday night on St. Simons Island called for something comforting, so we picked up a pizza to go from Sal’s Pizza—and, as usual, it did not disappoint. Ordering and picking up a pizza is easy and usually ready in thirty-minutes or so. Packed with Flavor Every…

  • Authentic Mouth-Watering Nashville Hot Chicken at Porch SSI

    All you Mothercluckers and Nashville Hot Chicken lovers look no further for your fix than a quaint little house in Pier Village called Porch. And what a cool porch (and patio) they have here nestled underneath the generous shade of a beautiful live oak. This is one of our favorite go-to restaurants for a casual…

  • This Little Shanty Packs a Big Flavor

    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…

  • Iguana’s Has the Best Family Friendly Dining on SSI

    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…

  • An Irish Pub Served Up with Love

    It’s the Wee Pub. The name alone should evoke home and happiness. And it does. We moved from Atlanta to the Golden Isles at the tail end of the pandemic years when Millennials were flooding the home market and turning competition for homes into a blood sport. Like a lot of people, we made an…
