Stories of grits kissed by the morning sun, of shrimp boiled in secrets whispered by generations past. Here, flavors mingle like old friends at a backyard barbecue, each dish a love letter to the land and sea that birthed it. From the sizzle of fried chicken to the soulful embrace of Brunswick stew, every bite carries the weight of history and the promise of tomorrow. So let’s raise a glass to the South, to its timeless traditions and ever-evolving tastes. Because in the end, it’s not just about the food—it’s about the journey, the people, and the stories shared around the table.

Located just north of the Demere Rd. round-a-bout in Redfern Village, in the heart of St. Simons Island, we offer a full bar, a wide selection of appetizers and seafood with an extensive raw bar and feature a pristine marsh view. Oyster offerings rotate from aquacultures up & down the East Coast, and are available raw or steamed as well as stuffed & baked. Meat eaters fear not! We offer a Filet, NY Strip and Pork Ribeye that will compete with any steakhouse in the area. Enjoy cocktails & appetizers and enjoy the marsh view from the lounge on our back porch!Notable appetizers include the Raw Oysters (of course!), Old Bay Chicken Wings, Drunken Clams and Southern Crab Dip. You can also, graze on a Double Cheeseburger, Po' Boy or Fish Tacos.For dinner, Chef Ben's Special of the Day usually takes top billing, but the Seared Scallops with Tasso Cream and Shrimp & Grits with Red Eye Gravy are popular too. However, the Seared Pork Ribeye with Guajillo Butter is an unsuspecting hit!
