    Service started good but then they got busy and he didn't ever come back to check on us much. I'm not sure why their server was waiting on 2 completely different ends of the restaurant. The cocktail was super weak (beer probably would have had more ABV %). The burger was delicious so that was the only saving grace (there is an upcharge for cheese and bacon). They didn't give us chips with the burger like they were supposed to. We asked for a side of cheese grits and they gave us that Instead of the chips but we were charged for it. If you like watching sports they have a ton of large TVs with sports on and a lot of fans.

    Woah! What I hidden gem in Bryan County. Similar to the Wyld, but much more seating and options when it gets chilly (or so it looks). Tons of options for food, which is great for groups of people with different taste. The service is lovely, you can tell management does a good job training staff. Parking can be tricky, but it looks like you can park across the strew in the marina parking lot. My fav place to sit is at the bar for better views, but any seat is a good seat.

    Note on wait-times - Fri/Sat. Nights.. .. U gonna wait! ;/ This place too popular, sitting on Talahi Island off Bull River. Provide comfortable waiting area, with cushioned couches and comfy deck chairs, near entrance, to chill and hang w locals. Inside dining area very active and busy, tons o locals and Savannah visitors for sure; Bar area slightly more relaxed, with three cute ones in the bar tab; Local cover band (ok) plays most Fri/Sat nights I thinks. The enchanting Bloody Mary hit the Spot, for the mood :) Go fer if haven't had one in awhile, Thank me lata.. Food is excellent- Always gets the Fried Oyster Platter (make sure to drench w TX Pete) w Cheez Grits & Tomato Salad.. ;) Anything on the menu rox.. mahi, Fried oysters, flounder.. Locals reco the crab legs and boils of course

    Low Country Boil
    Glenn M.

    We had the low country boil for two. It was more than enough for two as we took half home and had another meal of it. The shrimp and sausage were great. The corn and potatoes were also quite good. It was a quiet lunch with no crowd there.

    Fried Flounder Dinner for 2
    Tanisha B.

    Husband and I stopped here on our way from Tybee Beach. When we arrived, only a handful of people were in the patio area, but by the time we left it was getting crowded. We ordered the Flounder for 2 dinner and half of it was really good. The fish and coleslaw were great, but the hush puppies and grits were a huge NO!! The waiter was very attentive. For first timers like us, the hostess area is in front of the patio. We walked up the ramp and stood by the bar for a few minutes before someone told us to go down to the front.

    Low Country Boil

    Staff was friendly, the roof was being worked on and things were flying everywhere. They did let us move because we had a larger party. Ordered the low country boil, the potatoes had a weird texture and the food was overseasoned.

    We came here twice on our vacation. Friendly staff and great food. I wish we sat outside because that's where it seemed to be more lively.

Erica Davis Lowcountry sits on Victory Drive in Thunderbolt -- a town so small it has exactly one square mile of land and a name borrowed from a lightning strike that supposedly split open a freshwater spring on the Wilmington River bluff. The restaurant itself has a similar origin story: a long-shuttered seafood spot called Teeple's, left empty for years, brought back to life by Erica and Dwight Davis with real care. The gaslight sconces out front stayed. So did the bones of the building. The garage doors open when the weather cooperates. We came in late on a Friday, catching the final stretch of their brunch service. Hannah (I believe) was our server -- in training, which you wouldn't have guessed. She steered us well and managed the table (and the room) with a confidence that didn't feel performed. We started with the Barbecue Shrimp and the Oysters Rockefeller. The barbecue shrimp -- Georgia shrimp in a spiced, rich sauce served with toasts -- was good but the one I'd skip on a return visit. The Oysters Rockefeller are the opposite story: roasted, finished with creamed collards and parmesan, and genuinely one of the better bites I've had in recent memory. Order them. My husband had the Wassaw Redfish -- pan-seared over stone-ground grits with garlic beurre blanc and heirloom tomato. Clean, confident cooking. I had the Sunday fried chicken, which delivered exactly what that dish promises when it's done right. Sides of fresh green beans, South Georgia collards, and Erica's Famous Coleslaw held their own across the board. Dessert was the Key Lime Pie, served in a cup that does not prepare you for how good it is. Tart and creamy in the right proportion. We didn't leave any behind. The family's seafood history in Savannah goes back to 1946. You can feel that kind of depth in a kitchen -- not in any one dramatic bite, but in the steadiness of it all.

    We decided to have dinner at this local favorite in Tybee Island. It is a good amount of outside…read moredining and very casual. You can choose your own seat here. The restaurant is right on the water in the middle of a marina, so fishing boats come in and they clean the fish not far from the restaurant's edge. We started off with a half pound shrimp that was hot and well seasoned. The tartar sauce was very spicy with horseradish. I tried the special Herb Salad. It was tasty but a little pricey at 18.63. It would have been tasty with some pecans or walnuts. For entrees we tried the shrimp and grits. Very tasty with red eye gravy on top. Was missing the sausage, but still very good. Shrimp was well seasoned. The scallop dinner was delicious. Came with Alfredo sauce, hush puppies and a side salad. Prices are fair for all local seafood, which is what you expect on Tybee. And you can taste the difference in the local seafood. Very fresh and tasty. My one negative here was food came out too fast. We were still enjoying salads, then the shrimp appetizer came out. We were still eating our shrimp app, and the entrees came out. Felt a little rushed. The server was ready to bring the check, but we asked for dessert first. They already ran out of one dessert and just had the special, which was cheesecake. I normally don't complain about food coming out too fast, but when you are rushing through your courses, it feels like they need your table quickly. Food was really good, so it was just easy enough to ask for to go boxes with what we could not finish. Go early so there is no wait. People were waiting as we were leaving.

    My kind of dump! LOL... don't let the rundown appearance fool ya, the food is awesome! See below…read morefor review of bathrooms though. We stopped here for lunch on a Tuesday, place wasn't too busy and the service was attentive and both drink and food came out quick. We had hush puppies and peel & eat shrimp to start. The hush puppies weren't much on their own (as they tend to be) but dipped in honey butter they were damn good and kind of addictive. The peel and eat shrimp were cooked perfectly, sweet and succulent. After peeling don't forget to devein if needed... about half our order had some mud vein remaining (which is fine for peel and eat, just remove it!). Then my wife and I split the lunch special, a double fried flounder sandwich with cheese and tartar sauce... a take on McDs double fillet-o-fish. It was amazing! The fresh flounder was cooked perfectly and was soft and juicy inside its crispy fried crust. My wife especially appreciated the toasted bun! The coleslaw that was the lunch special side wasn't great... under seasoned imo. I put a little malt vinegar, salt & pepper on it and it was fine. To finish it off we split a piece of key lime pie. This is the first time either of us had key lime pie, so we don't have much context to compare this to, but our experience with this key lime pie was amazing. The crust was one of the best graham crusts I've had. It was buttery and cooked to the point it had a caramel taste to it. The filling had a cheesecake taste and texture to it with a distinct citrus lime tang. The whipped topping was creamy and cool, a perfect complement to the custard-like filling. A wonderful dessert! Now, the only bad part of this review is of the bathrooms. As much as I like a dive bar, back country vibe... the bathrooms are gross. My wife was visibly disgusted when she returned to the table. Later in our trip she used the restroom at a Savannah gas station and joked it was the Taj Mahal compared to the restroom at Bubba Gumbo's. So, be warned... just hold it if you can! Bathrooms 1-Star... and that's just because they have one and it has running water LOL
