Fresh, wild Georgia shrimp, perfectly aged top-quality beef, and international selections crafted with local ingredients and our own Southern flare make the menu at Oaks Club Restaurant a can’t miss. Superb local produce as well as seafood and meats chosen personally by our chef make Oaks Club the best choice in Coastal Georgia for surf or turf, and all with stunning views of the Darien River.

Very nice brunch and the gospel concert following was outstanding. The brunch is premium priced, but the options are outstanding, service was exceptional, and the staff was wonderful. I would recommend.

The only wait time was ordering drinks prior to sitting down to eat at the bar. Even then the wait staff was friendly and courteous.

Jekyll Island

About the restaurant

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.

Wonderful experience! Service 10/10, drinks were delicious and they even had a mocktail available! The views of river street were the best from the high top chairs, felt like you were sitting right over the water! The appetizers were surprisingly filling for a decent price. The shrimp and salmon potato cakes were the best!
