We had eaten here before and enjoyed it so we decided to celebrated our anniversary at this restaurant. What an enjoyable evening. Our waitress was very good and fun. The manager/owner (?) was also great and very friendly. It's just the kind of place that you feel as though you're a regular, even if it is your first time there.... more

Service and food here are topnotch. We sat at the bar and had andouille sausage corndogs and some prize winning Brunswick stew for appetizers. My wife liked their healthy alternatives. I had fried shrimp ( best I've had on Saint Simons) and the filet. We will be back. more

My wife and I have eaten at Blackwater Grill since it opened in 2000. We have never had anything but the absolute best experience. For many years our waiter was Peter, who is in a class by himself. Unfortunately, he has moved on. Every dinner starts with a lagniappe - "a little something extra." Their wedgie salad is a must... more

While the atmosphere in this place seems dowdy at first appearance, the food and service is by far the best on St. Simons. The shrimp & grits are my favorite and I believe I have eaten almost everything on the menu. We have our company Christmas dinner here every year but my husband and I probably eat here about once... more

We ate here at the end of August. We had heard that the Blackwater Grill was a good place to eat while in St. Simons. We got there as soon as it opened. There wasn't a crowd to deal with because we decided to go there for an early supper. Our waitress took our order and brought out some bread... more

This resterant has a lot to compeat with on this island. In my view it does a wonderful job. We just lucked up on it while riding around. The dip that they start the meal off with is excellent. My wife got the low country boil that was wonderful, expecally the corn on the cob. I go the combo shrimp.... more

This restaurant was recommended by a local for it's early bird special. The waitress was so nice and welcoming, until we settled in with the regular menu and couldn't find the special early bird menu. When we asked for it, her mood changed 180 degrees and we were no longer welcome at her table. The food was OK. I recall... more

What a treat it was for us to discover this outstanding restaurant tucked away unpretentiously in Redfern Village. On an island full of bulldog fans it was refreshing to find at least one corner that welcomed Tech fans, even if it was on the qt for business reasons. The steak I had was fresh cut, large, perfectly grilled, excellently presented... more

This is a very popular restaurant for dinner. Many of the dishes have a New Orleans theme - great shrimp etouffee. The owners are very welcoming, service usually good. more
