This was our "go to" place. Called today for my party of 7 at 5:30 pm and was told they don't take "same day" reservations. In fact we were sitting outside near the hostess stand a few weeks ago when a customer came and made a reservation for a large party 2 hours in advance. There are lots of restaurants in Sandfly and we'll go to one that knows how to accommodate guests. I guess I missed when Castaways got it's Michelin star. Restaurants are still a service industry and service here, today, had a big miss. read more

The decor isn't really my cup of tea but the food is good. Unless you are sitting on a stool at the outside bar, there isn't much ambience. Great burger, the special of the day (trout) was fresh and flavorful plus they give you large portions- enough to make one meal into two. read more

Cannot go wrong here. Everything from ambiance, customer service, and food were perfect.

Great food....again. Got the fish sandwich again and it was amazing. Service was prompt and friendly. I highly recommend this place.

What a great little place! Directed here by a local, we were unsure but trusting. While they DO NOT have crab legs, the scallops were amazing and the tuna tower unmatched. Coupled with the quaint ambiance both inside and out, the staff was especially accommodating and pleasant. Drinks were mixed to perfection and it was a great, mid-day refreshment. Do not hesitate to come here if you are in Sandfly! Thanks to the the staff of Castaways! read more

We ate dinner there a couple of weeks ago while we were staying at Skidaway Island State Park. What a treat that was. The extensive painted wall mural sets the tone that you are eating in a place where you've never been before. I ordered the curried salmon and it was excellent. It probably is the most creative dish that I've ever eaten. There were so many different flavors exposed. The creativity in your restaurant was thrilling. The drinks were awesome also. I'm still thinking about that dish weeks later. read more

Manager/Owner was rude like he didn't see the hair in my food . Didn't even offer to take anything of I mean I was half way done and saw the hair. My daughter also found a mosquito in her tea. Will never ever go here in life !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And never did the police escort me out I escorted myself out thank you I was done with this nasty ass hairy food.. and yes we called the police for clarity of your nasty ass lemon pasta !!! Your ignorant and like I said you won't have no good luck!! You also lied to the police saying that you offered my daughter another dish and you clearly didn't . I still have the live video sir! Chef / manager whatever you are. For the record my daughter ordered that dish and didn't like it and she was willing to get something else in the place of it that's all we wanted . Your never said that was my hair when I was in the there, you tried to act like you didn't see it being ignorant. Run the cameras back and look to see if I put hair in it. I would never do that. Check your cameras and see if I'm lying.. and post the video I bet you won't do that cause I'm telling the truth. read more

Castaways - You were be sarcastic trying to act like you didn't see it that's why the officer cut the light on for you to see. - New American Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

Fantastic lunch today in every way. Service was attentive. Food was delicious - everything that all 5 of us had was awesome. Will definitely return when back in town. read more

So first of all, watch out for the directions because when we followed the directions on yelp it sent us to another location. Google the location to be sure. I thought this place was so cute as I was walking up to the restaurant. The umbrellas and painting and decore, it was all very nice. Upon entering the place no one really greeted us so I figured it was a self seating, so we sat at the bar first. The staff didn't say much to us till like 5 minutes later with us looking around twiddling our thumbs she asked "did you guys figure out what you wanted to drink yet?". Granted we could have just ordered a soda, but no one even gave us the drink menus or menu at that. So I asked for the drink menu and she kinda grabbed and left all 5 sheets in a pile in front of me. I didn't want to sit there anymore so I asked to move outside, it was nice outside I figured it would change my experience. Thankfully she said it was fine and I was able to watch the sunset while I waited on the food which was not long. I had the infamous crab soup which was good. Then the entre came out, it was so awkward. So it my dish came out in a styled bowl but she put the high end facing me, then as I was turning it around she asked me if I needed a spoon, I was about to say no when she asked if I wanted to take the soup spoon. Ok so here's another thing I felt awkward about, after I had the soup I used a napkin to wipe the table Because something spilled and i crumpled it up and put it in the soup bowl with the spoon already in it. To me if I throw my dirty napkin in it I'm not going to eat from it again or touch the food on that plate anymore. I don't know if I'm just being funny about it or what but I still don't know how I feel about it. But she did bring out another spoon for me because I asked so... anyways. The food looked AMAZING!!! The crunchy flounder was so crisp and flavorful! It had a mango dressing which was delicious too!!! The lobster and scallop carbonara was ok, it didn't wow me (it was also kind of runny). I really don't know if it was the food, experience, staff, or what but I was ready to go. So we went inside to pay and left. I wouldn't mind trying this place again for the flounder. It really has a nice atmosphere and look to it, pretty clean. But unfortunately today was a miss for me, maybe another day. read more

Food was exceptional! The staff was beyond friendly. I ordered the Imperial Grouper. It was DELICIOUS! It was well seasoned. The mashed potato's were moist and just right! When i return I'll be eating the same thing ! read more

Ok, we received a $100 gift certificate for Christmas. We used it yesterday. Everything looked and sounded good on the menu. As we're waiting, we saw a lady with a really nice piece of key lime pie. We ordered the filet with scallops and garlic mashed potatoes. The filet was perfect but it came with only 1 scallop on top? We ordered the tuna tower it was lovely but half of it was cucumber, once you picked all of those out, wasn't much left. But we did ask for the rest of it to go, we asked for a couple of the crispy wonton, we were charged $2 for two wontons? We ordered that beautiful key lime pie to go..we looked in the bag to see it, there was maybe 2 bites each on one slither of pie. We said the lady was eating one and it looked 1/4 of the pie?? We were looking for a new place to go, but it's not gonna be there, SMH. read more

Anyone giving this place less than 5 stars should just stay home. The food was excellent, the music was groovy and the service was right on. I've been fortunate to travel around the world. The best blackened fish sandwich I've ever had was here today. Bravo read more

Four of us ate lunch there on Monday. Two of the women (technologically challenged) ordered the Tuna Tower (which they had before). And later that afternoon both came down with a severe case of food poisoning. One of the women called the restaurant the next day and spoke with a waiter who said he would give the message to the manager who would call back. It is now a day later and no one has returned the call. ????????????? read more

So my wife and I decided to grab some take out for dinner last night and decided on Castaways. Since neither of us had ever eaten their food we went with them. So the online restaurant menu displayed many dishes which all were very tempting. After several minutes we decided on two salads, both with shrimp. Hers was firecracker and mine was blacken. Both were advertised as priced at $14 each. Now here is where It gets you. I called in the order and the lady said it would be ready in 20 minutes, price would be $35. After hanging up I began to do some calculations, and could not come up with $35. At the restaurant I paid the bill and asked for a take out menu for future orders and also to see if prices were different than online. The lady replied no. After reading my bill , the charges were $2 more on each item, plus an additional $0.50 each for Go, which I guess means go container. So moral of the story is when ordering food from a restaurant online menu, you may want to ask the person if the price is different than what the menu states. Today I will call and speak with management in regards to my order and pass on my findings. Eat well. read more

Yummy salads and cold fresh ice tea. No beer on tap but a good bottle selection. Quick efficient service from friendly locals.

Came here for lunch with my husband and we had the calamari for an appetizer and it was the best we'd ever had. The chefs use of ingredients and sauces are phenomenal on all his dishes. I had the blackened grouper and it was so beautiful! Large portion with these colorful little red and yellow peppers. I wish I had taken a photo of the plate. It was cooked so perfectly! I could go on and on about that dish. My husband had the blackened fish tacos and again, large portion and cooked perfectly!! The flavor on those were melt-in-your mouth good! You won't be disappointed! Thier chef is AMAZING!!! read more

First meal while visiting Savannah, and it was awesome. The room was packed when we arrived, but the service was quick. We ordered specials, and the plating and taste was on point. From the dishes being served at other tables, their menu items looked amazing, and people were enjoying their choices. I highly recommend this place and will definitely go back the next visit to Savannah. read more

I can honestly say the Grouper Imperial is one of my favorite dishes of ALL TIME....yes its that good. At first glance you think that it is just a strip mall food joint but it is so much more. The seafood here is some of the freshest and best tasting I have ever had. The tuna tower was so delicious and amazing. The wait staff were also all super helpful with suggestions and any time I go back to Savannah I will have to come and get that Grouper Imperial. read more

Tuna Tower to start...I'm not a fan of raw tuna, but my hubby is and he eats the tuna and I eat the tower [avocado, won ton, corn, and I don't know what else]. Shrimp Boat tacos are my favorite. A bit spicy with a flavorful cabbage slaw. Soft shell crab is fresh and good. Smallish space with an outdoor patio. Just right. read more

The place was a little hard to find (look for the sign where the buildings break beside the Italian restaurant), but I'm glad we finally did! We stopped here for a quick lunch on the way to Wormsloe Plantation. I really enjoyed the buffalo shrimp salad (their buffalo sauce is a little sweeter than I am accustomed to, but it was good!). Reasonably priced and a good portion of food. I would definitely stop in again! read more

Good food, reasonable prices, very nice waitstaff and a/c! Compared to other places ... didn't leave hungry or sweaty . Imagine great outdoor area for fun evenings for food and libations. read more

This was a terrific little grill. My group intended to go to another nearby restaurant, but they were apparently closed. I ordered the crab cake sandwich with their special fries. It was amazing! I would definitely return... This time on purpose! read more

Chill and casual atmosphere. Missed the live band, but tonight's music selection was right on point. Just like this tuna! Truly amazing presentation, and even tastier delicacy to devour. read more

Excellent food! The chef here knows what he is doing! Highly recommend this place! The only down side I can say is they don't have beer on tap. read more

First time patron (1/17/21) while in town for a visit. A friend indicated the place had good reviews and Yelp shows 4.5. High expectations were dashed with the food. Service was prompt, professional, polite. Restaurant was clean. The food though, was very lacking. My scallops and crab carbonara was very dry, couldn't taste or see any crab. The three scallops were cooked well and tasted good. But $23 fir three good scallops and terrible pasta Alfredo (what it looked and tasted like) was a disappointment. My wife's salmon was very heavily salted and the pasta it came with was equally dry and tough to eat. The she crab soup, which my grandson normally loves, was very dreary looking and very gelatinous. He stopped after the first spoon and I tried and found it equally distasteful. Might have been an off night and not sure I'd return next time I'm in town. Was really looking for top-notch food. I won't slam it as things could have been worse and maybe it was just an off night. read more

The grouper imperial is consistently delicious and well presented. The tuna tower appetizer is very creatively designed and is a good appetizer for 2 or a small meal. There are other very good fish dishes as well as specials. The hamburger is also outstanding. Very good food at a reasonable price read more

Overall food and experience was good. They have made a few changes to some of the food items. Oysters Rockefeller was terrible, which is sad because it used to be very good there. Way too much breading and it has a cream cheese taste and texture to it, nothing like a good oyster Rockefeller should be. Rest of the food was OK. read more

If you want any scotch other than Dewars, don't go to this place. Even if the clientele is not a scotch drinking group, to not have a bottle of Chivas Regal for those of us that have a higher scotch calling, it's inexcusable. The scotch will not deteriorate and at the minimum, you have a happy customer. A 750 ml bottle will cost $46. An inexpensive investment to make a customer happy. A single malt 12 year old scotch by Glenlivet would cost$49.00. I ordered a martini, medium dirty, and was told they were running low on the olive juice. I was informed by the bartender that they had added vinegar to the olive juice in order to stretch the supply. A lame place, to say the least. read more

I loved every single plate ordered during our dinner all 5 including the Tybee Tuna, Tuna Tacos, The Rasta Pasta and quesadillas. We had our puppy and he was welcomed on the outside patio area as well so that was a plus and made our dinner much more enjoyable! read more

Found this place restaurant week. Pictures look great along with menu choices. Got here after finally find it in the cut on the back side of another restaurant. Food was beyond nasty. With no taste what so ever. Wings pasta and fish was horrible. Do not eat here. 3 thumbs down read more

5 stars on the food, atmosphere, and wait staff! Thanks JARED!!! Highly recommend Castaways!

We have eaten at Castaways several times and have always had excellent meals. This was no exception. Crispy scored flounder was as tasty as ever and is a favorite. One of our foursome had blackened redfish and another had the seared tuna Tybee, and all of us were very happy with our meals. The chef here definitely knows his/her stuff. On the other hand, Castaways should examine their business practices and decide whether they are an upscale restaurant or a dive bar. We were there on a Sunday night. While their website told us that they are open all day Sunday and gives a phone number, I called repeatedly during the day and never got an answer. We took a chance,they were open and with few diners. When we were seated there was a group of loud guys, maybe drunks, at the bar watching a football game, cheering, shouting to each other, etc. We're not prudes, but that behavior and a nice meal simply don't go together. It could be that the owner or manager doesn't work on Sundays and allows the inmates to run the jail. If so, they should examine things. read more
