Hot dog with chili and American cheese, onion rings with special sauce, and cereal milk milkshake with fruity pebbles

Absolutely phenomenal. I ordered a hot dog with chili and American cheese, onion rings with special sauce, and cereal milk milkshake with fruity pebbles. This is the best hot dog I've ever had! And I will forever be thinking about that milkshake They are pretty busy so be willing and ready to wait. Customer service is great, though!

I think it is safe to say Frosty's is a whole in wall spot, when you think of the area its located in. St. Simons is a nice quiet little beach town from what I could tell when I visited. With that being said, you can still expect quality food and service. Upon walking in you can tell frosty's has been around for a very long time with all of their retro decor still hanging on the walls. The staff were very friendly and attentive and took my order without delay. And the food lived up to the hype that everyone had been telling me about before coming in to eat. Long story short if you have the chance to check this place out you should.

this is a burger and shake place that has been around forever. nothing fancy, just good burgers and shakes. today I had the chicken sandwich and the peach shake. the chicken was very tender inside and you could tell they made it in house. the shake was smooth and cooled me off on a hot GA day

Always a decent ice cream stop, and the other food isn't bad either. I love the McDonald's/McDowell's reference with regard to Frosty's. DQ has the Blizzard, but Frosty's has the Hurricane ;-) You can pretty much recreate most of the DQ treats at Frosty's, which will nail that craving, but Frosty's has better quality food across the board, and offers brownie sundaes, and other options DQ doesn't have. Also, as a local family business, Frosty's takes pride in a cute atmosphere, and food quality above standard fast food. We've tried various ice cream treats, their burgers, fries, chicken, etc. Everything is always tasty, filling, and is of decent quality that doesn't make you sick like typical fast food. I took a star off because service can be hit or miss. A couple times there have been all teens on duty just horsing around and gossiping, and the speed and quality of service really suffered. Our most recent visit (Jan 2025) the staff were adults and we had no problem with service, so hopefully the issue-causing people left. They have dine-in for the restaurant, a deck with outdoor seating, and a drive-thru.

Double cheeseburger, fries, chili dog and drinks.

Welcome to a time machine. This locally owned lunch-and-dinner spot has a beachy j1950s' feel. Food: we did a weekday worker special (double cheeseburger with fries), chili dogs, fries and fountain drinks. All very tasty and cooked fresh (with a bit of a wait but worth it). The burger was a neal in itself. We'll return next trip.

My husband and I went here while on vacation, and it was the perfect quick casual dinner on a cold evening. We had heard great things about it being a community and family friendly place and it's clear this place is loved! We had courteous service at the counter and ordered two burgers, fries and drinks. They made our cheeseburgers to order, and we didn't mind the wait because everything is hot and fresh. The crinkle fries were crispy and steaming hot, just the way they should be. I devoured my delicious burger in 3 minutes and probably should have ordered a second one because it was so good. Prices are very reasonable for the quality. The ambiance is kitschy and nostalgic (grew up in the 90s so I loved it). Bring your family and friends here!

YUM! The line is long for a reason. Such a great milkshake. I wish I could have gotten a full meal because everything looked so good. Everyone was really kind behind the register too. Highly recommend in SSI!

What a cute little spot! The adorable building looked like an old house or previous restaurant. While visiting the island, we stopped here for a quick shake. We loved them. They were rich and creamy. I saw they offered diner food and thought everything looked delicious coming out of the kitchen. There were a ton of teens hanging out there. It seemed so sweet, almost like we were in the middle of a Hallmark teen coming of age movie. So cute. The staff were young too. They were all very nice and helpful. The whole vibe was sweet and innocent. I will definitely return on my next visit to the island.

I've tried and tried and just can't any longer. I didn't like this place at all. My husband and son love the shakes and burgers. All I was hoping for was a chocolate and vanilla twist cone. Twist means, well, twist. It doesn't mean plop that crap on top of a cone and hand it off as if that's ok. This is every time. So, I've been patient and waited to have a miraculous turn-around. NOPE! This last visit was the end for all of us. 1) no chocolate. What?! 2) no marshmallows. Seriously?! 3) we only had one order left for them to let us down with and it happened at the window when we were completely ignored. Just sat and waited and nothing. This is the off-season! There is no excuse and I'll never be back. We will never be back. Bring back Dairy Queen to replace this sorry excuse.

Peach milkshake

As soon as we walked in , we were greeted by Nettie with the warmest spirit ! You can't find many people like her who works in restaurants nowadays and it's very important ! The food was fresh and my absolute favorite was the peach shake ! My family and I will be back on our next visit to SSI. Thanks for making my family feel welcome Nettie !

Great diner with a throwback feel for sure! I ordered the Frosty deluxe cheese burger all the way with cheese fries to-go. I made sure to ask for the cheese sauce on the side so my fries stay nice and crispy. When I first walked in the front counter gentleman was on his phone so I had to let him know I was ready to order but he made it a simple and easy experience once I got his attention. I only had a 3 minute drive back to my airbnb and my burger was cold and the bun wasn't warm either but the taste overall for the burger was pretty good. The Frosty sauce is kind of like awesome sauce the front counter gentleman explained. The fries were your basic crinkle fry order and the white cheese sauce on the side was not bad. I would like to try the ice cream next time I visit! Definitely recommend this place for families the prices were not too bad here! Make this a stop on your travels!

One of the best places we visited while on the island. We tried to go a few weeks ago when we were…read morein town, but they were so busy and there was zero parking. So we made a second trip and weren't disappointed! The pretzel charcuterie board was absolutely fantastic! I loved everything about it. Especially the pretzel with the beer cheese. My husband had a pork chop sandwich and said it was delicious. You certainly get a lot of food for your money. Matt was a beast behind the bar. We were absolutely amazed at how quickly he was making multiple drinks and getting beer from the taps. He gets five stars alone! He was very personable and funny. Him and his sidekick Ryan ("Matt Ryan" LOL). Good vibes and a GREAT beer selection too!! I would definitely visit here again when in town. Highly recommend! Go early, parking can be a little difficult.

Stopped in for dinner with my wife at this local brewery…read more The business is located close to the pier but not in the pier area. The business has a small parking lot it shares with other businesses, there is also a small gravel lot beside it that you can park at. If you go at a busy time, parking can be a chore. Upon arrival, the business was busy with both inside and outside seating filled but we were seated immediately at a table with both bench and chair seating that shared the bench with other tables. There is also bar seating and you can sit at a high top that borders the brew stations. It took a few minutes for us to meet our server who took our drink orders. Soda for her and non-alcoholic IPA for me. It took our server a while to bring our drinks and she forgot my IPA so she had to go find it. Once we had our beverages, we ordered our food. We started with the bacon wrapped blue cheese dates - the dates are served on tooth picks and looked great but the blue cheese overpowered the flavor of everything else. My wife ordered the special of the day (not on everyday menu) which was shrimp tacos with a black bean pineapple salsa and house made chips and fries. I opted for the house burger with cheddar cooked medium and chips and fries. It took a long time for our food to come out and after observing our server chatting it with a table of her friends who were behind us, I am pretty sure she may have forgot to order it in a timely manner. When our food came it was auctioned off to us by another team member (no server to be found). My wife's tacos were overstuffed and fell apart. I tried one and the fried shrimp tasted really fishy to me, not like fried shrimp is supposed to taste. My burger was okay but nothing special. Really wanted to like this place but it did not live up to our expectations.

Loved this place! Out the gate, we were greeted with friendly and effective service. The place has…read morea, really cool creative vibe! The owner is clearly passionate about the menu, execution, restaurant design, staff, and guests. At the end of the night, the entire staff gathered to celebrate an employee who was changing jobs. The menu here is really cool and creative with a a lot of variety. It's a rare restaurant that you could eat at multiple times and have a different experience each time. We didn't even get to the pizzas or entrees, but the tapas were awesome and satisfying! Highly recommend this spot for a, different experience from most traditional restaurants.

The chicharrones were great and the salad as good as expected. My wife ordered the fish entre which was triple tail on a bed of fontina grits and very nice selection of carrots and greens. I ordered the 14 ounce NY Strip steak with roasted potatoes, blue cheese crumbles, and mushrooms. The fish was a very nice portion and very tasty and nicely presented. The steak was cooked perfectly rare and a very nice cut. I highly recommend Ember as one of the better restaurants on SSI.
