Great low country boil for sure- sat at the bar and although it's hot there are plenty of fans to send air your way. Our server was pleasant and accommodating. The potato salad which was sent to me in error is excellent as is the mac & cheese. The boiled shrimp and sausage both great as was the corn- the drawn butter was nice and hot - a nice touch for such a casual spot. read more

This restaurant was a stop for lunch with a friend who wanted to check this place out. The overall assessment? Nice ambiance. The food was OK at best with price points too high for the quality on offer. This is a price-performance issue and in our judgment, a common quality of many eateries in Savannah where many charge "New York prices for non-New York quality" offerings. One in our party ordered the Shrimp Basket ($23.95) and was thoroughly disappointed. The characterization? Tasteless. The Hot Honey Fried Calamari ($15.95) was OK at best. The order of 1/2 pound of peel and eat Shrimp was OK ($18.95) was deemed as the tastiest entree and it too was simply OK. There are some great seafood eateries on the Georgia coast, some of which are south of Savannah at Darien and Brunswick.

This is a good spot in Savannah to grab seafood- in particular crab and peel n eat ship. They have a varied menu so it feels like something for everyone. I really enjoyed the shrimp cocktail, shrimp scampi and the boat house salad. We tried the mac n cheese and hush puppies as well but they didn't feel as spot on as some of the mains. The restaurant is located right on the water but we ended up sitting inside since we had a larger party. The water views looked great though. And the service was good as well! read more

Food and service were terrific. No disappointments here as the reviews are generally very good. We sat outside. Had the fried flounder fillet. And peel and eat shrimp. So good read more

First time here, went for lunch on a beautiful day. The restaurant is hidden away, which gives it this "locals" vibe which is cool. Clean, bright ambiance, with friendly staff. We had the calamari, which was good, but I didn't get the "hot honey" part of it, it tasted like classic fried calamari, which again was good! Oysters Rockefeller were spot on, and the low country boil could feed a crowd, it was all fresh and tasty would love to see what the vibes are in the evenings in the future. read more

When we got there the hostess was great we wanted to be outside. The weather was wonderful our server was also great. The atmosphere was pleasant. Nice clean bathrooms whole restaurant redone. I had the fish with side salad it was great and also the shredded chicken cheese eggrolls. Now that can be questionable. The shredded chicken cheese eggrolls I was wondering, where was the chicken I asked the server and she said that it was shredded, but we did not taste a lick of chicken. It was all cheese, but other than that. Everything else was fine. We enjoyed ourselves even the bartenders was great. read more

I finally had an opportunity to dine at Desposito's Seafood restaurant in Thunderbolt Ga. And I must say that I have found my new seafood go to restaurant. The food was so fresh and the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about the menus.

Came here upon the recommendation of a local couple. The food was good but nothing special with one exception: the hush puppies are the best I've ever had. The peel and eat shrimp was okay but bland...even with the garlic butter. The fried shrimp were good but very salty. The coleslaw was okay but loaded with kale (I'm not sure why this is a thing!?!) I've never seen chunky cocktail sauce. It was average in taste and hard to get to stay on the shrimp because you can't really dip onto it. The service was attentive but not overly fast. Not someplace I would go again unless to pick up an order of hush puppies! read more

Great is the best way to describe this restaurant! Staff was kind and helpful. The outdoor space is beautiful although we opted to sit inside and enjoy the ac. Everything was delish and cooked perfectly read more

Calamari was so overcooked and rubbery. Inedible. The lobster mac and cheese was so rich and I could barely taste (or see) any lobster. If there was any lobster it was diced up so small it blended in with the thickness of the sauce. read more

Wonderful food, helpful and attentive staff. Recommend. Dive bar feel with excellent food- my fave!

I had the opportunity to join the Eat It and Like It Supper Club at Desposito's. For someone who has never been here...it was 100% AMAZING! The food, the staff, and the history were perfect in every way! We ended up having a four-course meal. For starters, we had Raw Oysters topped with a Bloody Mary Granita. The second Course was Desposito's original recipe, crab soup, which I licked the bowl. I wanted more! For the third Course, we had pan-seared black grouper over tarragon cream pappardelle Pasta, and the best was saved for last! The fourth Course was a mini three-layer red velvet cake with a chocolate ganache! I loved every bite, and the wine paring was terrific! I can't recommend this place enough! read more

I got there around 1:30 or so in the afternoon and the restaurant was full with the exception of two seats at the bar. I sat down and I was waiting on rather quickly. I thought the service overall was good. I ordered shrimp and grits. It was sort of hide and seek to find the shrimp and I never did find anything else. The best shrimp and grits I've ever eaten is from a restaurant in Albany, Georgia called Austin's fire Grill. Using that as the 10 reference point, I would've rated this food about a 6. read more

We had a great experience here. We visited on a Saturday night expect a wait but it's worth it . We were delighted to find out they could make me a non alcoholic mock-tail. The egg rolls are a must my boyfriend is still raving about them. He enjoyed his shrimp scampi . I would pass on their mac n cheese and explore something else next time. They have an outdoor bar with live music which looked really nice . Parking can be a little tricky on weekends. read more

Food at table .. she crab soup fantastic, kids meals were fine chicken fingers. The ladies split fish tacos, no complaints. Everybody was happy and and an order of bacon wrap shrimp which also was very tasty. Only issue that I had was overdone boiled shrimp hard to peel. Pet peeve. Waitress was efficient. Nice location. read more

Avoid this vomitorium. the drinks were awlful - new bartender we were told. dinner took an hour to arrive and was swill. What was supposed to be flounder wasn't and it was not fresh and tasted gamey. Everything, including corn, was drenched in way too much Old Bay. There is no reason to waste your time or money on this swill palace. For fresh seafood, well prepared, go to Stingray's on Tybee Island. read more

Ventured away drink Savannah to Tybee Island found this Restaurant. Nice place at the boat ramp. Service was fast and place is very clean. Ordered the Fish Dip Mahi and Halibut, with baguette it was DELICIOUS! I ordered the Shrimp Basket Broiled with Cajun Butter shrimp was a little over done and not deveined Please Devein your shrimp for your customers, my lady ordered the Shrimp Scampi she said it was good with a little bit of kick in the sauce. Overall it was good read more

The food, the atmosphere, the service and music! AAA+. We had lunch, the fish of the day was perfectly fried (for me) and grilled for my wife! Elly gave us prompt attention and spot on recommendations. Perfect outdoor bar and dinning while watching the boats cruise by! read more

The food was awful. The "prawn" tacos were nickel size shrimp in a mess of cabbage. No chili lime sauce. The 2 deviled crabs were inedible, $24.95 to boot! The smoked fish dip was good. The homemade potato salad was a soupy mess of potatoes and watery mayo. The greasy chips gave me indigestion. Most everything on the menu is battered and deepfried and looks the same. Other customers couldn't tell their meals apart when the waitress brought their plates out. It was one of the worst $100.00 meals I've had in a long time. I don't think the waitress would have cared if I mentioned the poor food, and she didn't notice that most of my meal was uneaten when I asked for the check. Don't waste your money. read more

What a neat little restaurant that's sorta off to the wayside on Thunderbolt Island, but worth the effort to find it. Great fish sandwich and my wife's shrimp topped salad was excellent, too. Great hushpuppies as an appetizer. Plenty of them with good honey/butter sauce. Extremely nice waitress, so polite. We'll be back, for sure!!! read more

Great environment inside and outside the restaurant. Sometimes they have great special. But it's really a hit or miss coming here. I went last week and got the low country boil it was way too overcooked. My husband got the lobster mac n cheese and that was great besides the bread be hard as a rock. Our server was great though. read more

Food was great, service amazing! We met friends for dinner and loved sitting on the outside patio! We had the low country shrimp boil, Oysters Rockerfeller and the crab egg rolls - delicious and filling. The only complaint was the corn was frozen not fresh. We will go back again. read more

We just walked through the indoor dining area on the way to the outside area, so can't say a lot about it. Didn't look that large of an area but did look clean. The outside area was great. There is a huge bar with seats around it. Several large screen TVs and a lot of high top tables. Service was good. We went for lunch and arrived around 11:45. They open at 11:30 and when we arrived there were already several people there. By 12:30, it was getting full. The food was good. Our table had crab stew, Pirate Popcorn Shrimp (popcorn shrimp in a spicy sauce) and the Chile Lime Prawn Tacos. The crab stew was different than the normal cream based crab stew. It seemed more of a tomato base. It was very tasty with plenty of crab meat. The popcorn shrimp were not very spicy, but I'm sure that's a personal preference. For someone who doesn't like spicy, it would be acceptable. I would prefer them to have been spicier. The shrimp tacos were good. Nothing great about them, but they were enjoyable. All in all, it was a good experience and we will definitely be back! read more

Pluses -Beautiful venue. -outside area is very nice and is very park. -This is happening spot. -plenty of gluten-free and seafood-based carnivore options -The Fumé blanc white wine is a solid choice. - Bacon, wrapped shrimp are solid. -there were no bad smells, no bad seafood smells. Minuses -You get the crab legs for $37 but they don't have appropriate tools so that you can get all the crab meat out you have to take it home to finish eating it. -Margarita is terrible. -deviled crab does not come on a crab shell, but comes on a piece of metal shaped like a crab. -husband says the hush puppies were good but they did not come with the honey butter and we had to ask for it. -The margarita is terrible. It's pretty mixed and taste more like Mountain Dew or Mellow Yellow. -Service when sitting at the bar outside is a bit slow but to be fair they are very busy. read more

We made a reservation for 2 and were seated on the patio. It was a bit crowded with the seating along the back and the bar. The service was great! We ordered deviled eggs - a little bland and could use some relish or pickles. Just tasted like mayo. The tarter sauce was also lacking flavor. We shared crab legs which were seasoned perfectly and didn't even need butter. Lots of meat and really tasty. The fried fish basket was REALLY good. My partner said his Long Island was perfect. I also enjoyed the pasta salad side. read more

The Fried Grouper Sandwich was recommended by one of the very friendly bartenders. "It's two fillets" is an understatement! Dagwood would be impressed. want a grouper sandwich and a huge fillet to take home for another meal? Order this sandwich. The standard bun was hardly noticeable with two monstrous fillets stacked in between. My reaction was "do I have to unhinge my jaw to take a bite"?! I immediately asked for a "to go box" and tried to squeeze one of the fillets into one. Impressive! Today, the rule seems to jack up price and shrink the portion. Desposito's does follow those sad trends, it's like going to grandmas and she got a whole fish and you and your friends are going to eat until you're stuffed! Just fine with this Cajun. The batter was fried crispy. The fillet was still very moist. Could have had a little less salt in the batter. Gotta watch my sodium intake with high blood pressure. But this sandwich took me back decades to spearing grouper on the Gulf coast and cooking it fresh. Wide smiles required to eat half of this sandwich! Check out the pics. Don't be fooled, those are platters, not plates! The whole restaurant is immaculate. There's plenty of tables inside and when you want that outside ambience, there's a huge bar area on the covered porch with clear retractable awnings to flick a switch and open for a fresh breeze. Tables are spaced around the bar so everyone has a view on the edge. You can even enter from the parking lot directly to this porch area. The bar is stone topped all around and has giant TV screens with sports. This rectangular bar in the back has live music on Wednesday. The acoustic group LAX is our favorite. Great open view of the harbor area. Put it on the weekly schedule! read more

I hardly ever leave reviews unless I am thoroughly impressed. Was craving seafood but didn't feel like driving all the way to tybee for AJs so decided to give this place a try and I'm SO glad I did!

We'll be back! read more

1st time eating here since it switched owners. Very dissapointed. Bartender was bland, kinda rude and when food came out didn't ask if we needed anything. Ordered chips. They were ok! Popcorn shrimp were waaay to salty and just not good and the low country boil was a joke. Small platter, small overcooked shrimp, no butter with potatoes or cocktail. We sat at outside bar which I love but the vibe from bartender was very uninviting! read more

The bartenders are extremly slow, they cost this business 100s a day due to guest sitting around waiting for the bartneder to pay attention or stop talking to each other. They drop the jiggers on the ground and do not sanitizer them after and use them on the next drink, being outside in the elements I am sure wildlife visit and walks around on the floor at night. The food has been decent each time we visit but it really takes a lot for us to stop by, because we know the service is going to be extermly slow and non attentive. If you have time to wait and do not care about customer service then this is your spot, the food is good just really bad service. read more

Soooo good. It was packed when we arrived, so we got a bottle of rose and sat out on the dock watching the sunset until our table was ready. The river was gorgeous. For dinner we had the grilled shrimp basket with old bay chips (homemade potato chips), the crab basket with fries, and the the smoked fish dip with baguette. The shrimp was some of the best we've ever had, came right off the boat that morning. The crab was delicious (but a bit hard to eat - worth the effort). Nothing but good things to say about the smoked fish dip, which was just Smokey enough and kind of like a whitefish salad. Our server Maggie was excellent and took great care of us. Note - this was the soft open, so they were out of a lot of menu items and the wait was a bit longer than usual, but everyone was so friendly it didn't matter. Fantastic place, would definitely come again. read more
