....and if you HAVE to go, don't have the Saturday night seafood buffet!! what a disappointment - maybe it was our fault, going in off-season (then they shouldn't offer it), but this was a scary experience. I was afraid we were going to get botulism....the peel-n-eat shrimp were mushy and gross...the fried options they had were definitely past their quality... more

We used Blackbeard's as our reception venue for our destination wedding. The management/staff could not have been more friendly and accomodating. Everyone one of our 50 guests had rave reviews of the food and location/view. We chose to do a buffet meal but they happily made a special Vegan plate for one of our guests. We could not have asked... more

We really thought this would be a nice place to eat. The service was terrible.Our waitress didn't even look at us while taking our order. She was looking out the window while asking us what we wanted. The food was awful. Who serves broccoli with seafood? The musician was very annoying. It was almost as if he was trying to... more

When you go somewhere high priced, you expect a high level of food, atmosphere, and service. At Blackbeard's you will receive nothing of the sort. For starters, food items on a buffet should be labeled and plentiful. There were no labels and the items were unidentifiable. Well, we knew the mac and cheese and crab legs, but the other items... more

My wife and I have ate here at least 10 times in the past 5 years. We always share a meal of fried shrimp and flounder. The seafood has always been very good. The veggi's we'd agree with others that they are not good. The salad was good. Raspberry cheese cake we had this visit and it was very good.... more

We just came back from a short trip to Jekyll Island and ate at Blackbeard's on Sunday evening. Horrible food and worse service. The Seafood Buffett is the worst I've seen in years and the Ceaser Salad that I ordered was wilted and brown. This was over Labor Day weekend and you would think that they would step it up... more

Horrid

So my wife and I decided to take a day trip to Jekyll from Savannah. It was our first time visiting and thought the island was fantastic. Dinner time came around and we saw rave reviews about Blackbeards. We strolled up and the place is very eye pleasing. We asked for a table outside and were handed our menus and... more

Not Great.

We spent Labor Day weekend on Jekyll Island and ate at Blackbeard's Friday night. Their buffet was mediocre at best. For $25 a plate, I expect much better. Their menu food was OK, although my shrimp was soggy and bland. The service was slow, the strolling guitar player was loud and not enjoyable when you're trying to have a conversation... more

I ordered the seafood platter, they forgot my hushpuppies and when they brought them out they were... more

Do not waste your time with this one!!! We went there for lunch and sat in an almost empty restaurant and now we know why. The waiter had such strong cologne on that it almost made me sick. He was a nice guy though but didn't seem to be in the best mood. There was one other couple there while... more
