  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Good Fun, Fresh Catch and Oysters by the Dozen

    Catch 228 is a local hangout for families and fun. There’s a comfortable laid-back island vibe about the place with something for everyone: sports on the telly, outdoor seating, a full bar and solid, good food. We often go for happy hour 4 – 6pm when you can get a dozen oysters for just $15…

  • A Creative Genius with a Really Big Smoker

    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…

  • Killer View and Killer Fresh Seafood on Jekyll Island

    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…

  • A Local Favorite with Some of the Best Seafood Around

    We came to Marshside Grill on a Friday for lunch in the off-season. It’s one of the few times we didn’t have to wait for a table. This place is just that good. With killer views of the marsh overlooking Saint Simons Island and Jekyll Island, Marshside has some of the freshest seafood around. And…

  • Local treasure serves up home cooking like Grandma makes

    Let’s all just face facts, Truett Cathy is rolling in his grave. Those chicken biscuits just aren’t what they used to be. Well guess what? Right behind the Chic-fil-A on St. Simons Island is a home cooked biscuit that is sure to make you happy again. Sweet Mama’s is where the locals go. It’s where…

  • Great, old fashioned hot dog stand on St. Simons Island

    Hot Dog Alley has been a beloved island institution since 1994! After a very successful career in life insurance, Bill Dumigan retired to St. Simons in 1993 and soon after bought a little hot dog cart. We lost Bill in 2017, but his amazing hot dogs live on. Cassie and I spent years poo-pooing anyone…

  • The Best Southern Cooking in Downtown Brunswick

    Maggie Mae’s Café Shines in Downtown Brunswick PC and I recently found ourselves browsing through treasures at one of our favorite antique shops, Black Sheep Pickers. After browsing through the wide variety of vintage finds, we found ourselves peckish and craving a really good burger—and as luck would have it, Maggie Mae’s Downtown Café was…
