The food we ordered was overpriced. Perhaps we would have been better off with going the “pizza” route. The rice and grits that came with our dishes as sides were undercooked and crunchy. Two of us ordered the Pork Chops. Mac and cheese was greasy and oily and managed to be bland. The pork chops themselves were a strange cut being 50% bone Desserts weren’t much better. The peanut butter pie was ok but the marshmallow (I think that’s what it was) on top and pretzels were a bit too much. The brownie was both hard and soft and had a strange flavor. I would avoid this obvious tourist trap.

Ember is our absolute favorite restaurant in St. Simons. We come into town twice a year for conferences, and you’ll find us at Ember both nights every time. The owners are hands-on, the ingredients are incredibly fresh, the staff genuinely cares and provides amazing service, and the food is made with love. Every visit feels special — Ember is truly a highlight of our trips.
