This used to be Archibalds back in the day. Switched over about 15 years ago. We've seen this place many times but it was always packed. In town for FFW at GSU and saw rooftop patio looked empty so we swung on in. Not a ton of parking unless you park in lot adjacent to them. However, lots of seating options! Outdoor covered seating, rooftop covered seating and indoor. It was pretty packed down below but we grabbed 2 rooftop bar seats up top. From there, everything was perfect. Honestly, this place was the best I've eaten at EVER in the 'Boro. 5 stars on atmosphere, food, view and service. We opted for brunch menu but did the pretzel appetizer with beer cheese. The beer cheese was thicker than normal but good. I did the French toast burger with fried okra. Daaayum, tasted like a fluffy McGriddle but much larger! I could barely finish it. GET THE LEE'S SAUCE FOR DIPPING! It's like the Zax sauce but with more tang and kick. We accompanied our meal with a pitcher of electric lemonade (a Statesboro staple, going back to the days of Wild Wings & Dick's Dawg House). The entire experience was like "The Run" by AP (no, not the runs ).

Gnats was a nice place to stop in for a simple lunch or early dinner. They offer tons of indoor and outdoor seating with ample tv's. The parking is somewhat tight. The food is decent and so are the drinks. It's close to campus and right in town.

Blackened Fish Platter
Mike S.

Parking lot is small, but we got a spot. They have a really nice outside eating area, we ate inside. We were seated and waited on right away. Service was very good. We had a shrimp platter and a fish platter. My wife had her shrimp fried and I had the fish blackened, both were excellent. Sides were fresh and tasty. I upgraded one of my sides for a salad. I was expecting a small salad but I was wrong. My salad was pretty large and very tasty. Neither of us finished all our food only because we couldn't eat anymore. Extremely pleased with the whole experience and Gnats Landing would be my first choice to eat at again if I'm ever in the area.

We stopped in town for lunch on our way to Augusta. This place is conveniently located right across from Georgia Southern University. It is very spacious with plenty of indoor, outdoor, bar and upstairs seating. The menu is very large with plenty of appetizers, sandwiches, wraps, and entrees. I opted for the pulled pork sandwich with onion rings. They both tasted great. My husband had a grilled shrimp wrap with a side of vegetables. He also enjoyed his lunch. Service was quick.

Buffalo shrimp (locally caught) and yummy fried banana peppers

Fantastic local shrimp blackened in buffalo sauce. Friendly service, cool vibe, student discounts and trivia!

Delicious lunch today at this college town trendy restaurant. My wife had the Philly steak sandwich with onion wings. I had one of the most tasty dishes I have ever had, the Eagles's Nest. It was an incredible serving of pulled smoky BBQ on a bed a French fries, covered in cheese, bacon, fried bell peppers and BBQ sauce. Our waitress, Reilly, was awesome. Not too noisy, and has indoor and outdoor seating.

Laid Back atmosphere. Great food .

Sampler
Veeta P.

Hostess greeted us immediately and we were seated promptly. After our first college tour we were famished and was recommended this restaurant. I must say there was a variety of options to choose from and great prices. The sampler was definitely delicious. The crab ball was my favorite and would get more. The honey chilli wings were a bit spicy to me. This restaurant is definitely a college favorite and can accommodate large parties. I highly recommend this spot.

Crab cakes, cheese grits, Cole slaw and hush puppies.

Great food and excellent service! From the hostess to Brooklyn our server can't say enough good things about the service. Food was very good! I was driving but my cousin had two adult beverages and said the bartender got them right!

Shrimp 'n Grits
Warren J.

Gnats has amazing food as well as customer service. We were greeted kindly as we entered in and the waiter knew what was the special of the day as well as the menu. Our waiter made sure we had everything we needed and made sure we didn't run out. I highly recommend you try Gnats Landing! You won't be disappointed.

Mahi Mahi on Texas toast. Still looking for my fish.
Kim L.

I don't like writing bad reviews. Not my thing. So here are the BEST things about this place.... Onion rings: The batter was good. It was crispy and the onions were soft and sweet. They would have been a 10/10 if they weren't fried in old frying oil. The price: Not upset that I can still find burger and fries for less than $10. I don't mind the $1.00 up charge for spicy mayo if it was fresh. It may have been left out a little too long before the lid was placed on so it had a slight crusting. The Texas toast: What can I say. It's Texas toast lightly toasted. They got that one right. See picture for my $13 non existent Mahi Mahi Sandwich on Texas toast. They didn't tell me they were out of fish, but instead did the best they could. The water. The water was cold. The hostess moved with lightening speed to bring us water which I appreciated on a hot summer day. The hostesses: They both greeted us, sat us, served us our beverages. Once our food came, we waited and waited before one of the hostesses had to grab us some silverware, and would not allow me to take another step stating "let me bring them to you". They deserved the 20% tip instead. Would I recommend...yes...if you are thirsty and in need of an ice cold glass of water.

Eagles nest... brunch wrap that's supposed too be bacon. And sausage gravy n biscuit was cold !

See all
