This was our first time coming to iguanas and it was amazing. Evan was a great server and very attentive! He checked in often and made sure we were taken care of. We got the Caesar salad and shrimp and grits. Let me tell you, I HAVE ABSOLUTELY HATED GRITS UNTIL NOW. I will 10/10 be back. It was also dog friendly which was a huge plus after a day at the beach. read more

Macy, our server was amazing. She brought such amazing vibes and kindness to our table! We met the iguana mascot which was amazing!

Annika took the BEST care of our large group!! The food was fabulous the service was outstanding.

Everytime we come to St Simon or Jekyll, we make a stop at Iguana's for a meal. It's tradition and honestly, always just good food and conversation. Everyone on the staff is great and Cam is always there to make sure you are topped up and have a great experience. Highly recommend Cam and Iguanas read more

Saturday late lunch time. No waiting and got a table immediately. Host walks us to the table and server comes to take order. I got Po Boy with fried shrimp. I think options were grilled, boiled and fried shrimp. Fried shrimp was really good! I just wished there were more fried shrimp. Complimentary self serve ice cream was really a nice treat. There were vanilla, mix and chocolate with toppings to add such as crushed peanuts, caramel syrup, chocolate syrup etc. For a tourist area, it was a good price with good portion restaurant. It felt like I was in Florida rather than in Georgia with all the interior decorations! read more

Had to stop by when it was recommended. Service was great. Loved their Bloody Marys. (The celery did taste like it could be washed better though.) The raw oysters were really good. Fried shrimp has good flavor. My kid loved that he could get free ice cream after dinner. read more

Best crab cake I've ever had, hands down. This has been our favorite place on the Island for years and it just keeps getting better. This trio we were only here for a short time and chose to eat at Iguanas for all three dinners because it's just that good. Have tried so many different things and not a single thing has been less than amazing. read more

Iguanas Seafood Restaurant - Crabcake - Seafood Near Me - St. Simons, Georgia

The service was the best part of the meal as our waitress was really friendly and apologetic about us not liking one item we ordered! First, Georgia Shrimp is a thing around here and they are proud of their shrimp,... but the appetizer with four different styles of shrimp is not a good representation of that. We also had two soups that tasted out of can and the pear Martini. After that we called it a night and went somewhere. Sorry, this restaurant was not for me. read more

Iguanas is one of our favorite restaurants to visit every year. The shrimp and fish are amazing, the hush puppies never disappoint and the bar is always flowing! They have a full bar + a specialty drink menu. The added bonus - free soft serve ice cream bar for the end of your meal. Our waitress today was Addy and she was exceptional. She was friendly and attentive. I was highly impressed. The hostess was a doll and very friendly while seating us. The menu has a wide selection of seafood as well as handhelds and burgers. They also have an entire gluten free menu option available. You are unable to make reservations and it does get busy, however, when you check in, they will put your name on a list and contact you via cell phone with your wait time and place in line. This gives you the opportunity to cruise the shops while you wait. Would highly recommend! read more

Cam was the best! He was quick with service once we arrived, friendly, and attentive. We come here whenever we're in the area for the beach and always enjoy a meal at this restaurant. This was our best visit to date...because of Cam. Five stars for Cam! read more

One of the few places open on Christmas Day for dinner. The restaurant was fully decorated for Christmas inside and out. They even make it snow every few minutes. The service was friendly and very good. The dinners all come hush puppies, and one side. I got the fired shrimp and fries. The shrimp were good size, and lightly coated. My wife had the clams and said they were good and well seasoned. My daughter had the mahi and the shrimp combo. Nice size piece of fish and cooked just right. read more

While it's an interesting place and the staff is friendly the food was just so/so. The raw oysters were medium size and not shucked properly. The crab bisque soup very thick but somewhat tasteless. The shrimp platters were ok but the po boy was good. The onion rings while fresh were just warm and soggy. I think the best part is the feee soft serve ice cream at the end. read more

A must return kind of establishment! Between the scrumptious food, ambience and excellent staff, I couldn't have had a better experience! Big Mike was the manager and Roland was my server. Only positive perspectives about both gentleman comes to mind! I had a house salad, crab cake, calamari and pear martinis. Each one was delicious. When I return to the area, I'll be sure to return! read more

We ended up going here twice during our stay. The first time our server was Jade. She was great. They have a nice selection of beer and we tried a few. All were good but our favorite was the Harps UFO. Entrees were Calamari, Coconut Shrimp, shrimp scampi, shrimp dinner, BLT and Fish sandwich. All excellent. It's a cute place with colorful decor. The seats could be more comfortable but that's fine. Oh and for dessert- free ice cream. read more

Hands down the BEST food on the Island!!! The ambiance at Iguanas is such a fun vibe. All of the staff are very friendly, especially my server Khloe. That girl is a hoot!! Go see her! read more

Come see big Mike for the world's best shrimp!! They also got a mean crab cake too that is the best on the island to me. Beach bar atmosphere with outside seating. But come early they stay busy. Every one is pleasant and nice and food is outstanding for the price. read more

Karly was our server. She is amazing! Our food: overall good. We had apps that were quick and delicious

Astronomical prices for portions that aren't impressive. Restroom could use attention. Weird smell inside, but friendly service. Free ice cream is cool when the bill is a luxury sedan car payment. After going to Fiddlers down the road I can confidently say this place is terrible and way overhyped. This is your sign to not go here and spend your hard earned money elsewhere! read more

Food was delicious. Maritza was great! Outstanding service with a smile. We highly recommend Iguanas. Best on SSI.

Food and service was absolutely amazing! I 100% recommend! They also have free ice cream with so many toppings to choose from.

The seafood was wonderful I hadflounder and shrimp she had grouper. All employees were very friendly and waitress was great tell us all the special. Will definitely go back read more

I am so mad at my experience here. We ordered two "pick two" platters. One with shrimp and crab cakes, and another with shrimp and crab legs for a $30+ up charge. Whatever, it's vacation and my kids are very excited about it. The first platter consisted of 8 sad, shriveled shrimp and a single crabcake that was more filling than crab. The second was 9 shrimp that had been fried for WAY too long and a cluster of lukewarm crab legs that came with a half-melted knob of butter instead of clarified butter. They forgot the Mac and cheese that was supposed to come with one platter and we didn't see our server to complain about anything for 30 minutes by which time we just didn't care anymore and wanted to be gone. He did eventually bring us the Mac and cheese and I had to laugh because it was a bowl of plain, undressed noodles with a small amount of flavorless sauce spooned on top. All of this plus a kids meal and two drinks cost us over $150. Do not waste your money!!! To top it all off, they tried to seat a party of six with a woman in a wheelchair in the booth next to us. The poor woman in the wheelchair couldn't reach the table and didn't have enough room to turn around. The staff ignored the poor woman for 10 minutes before they could be bothered to move their party to a table that was actually accessible for them. I never write reviews, but this was one of the worst dinner experiences I've had in a long time and people should know. read more

Hunter was great. I hope he wins!!! The food was good. Hush puppies needed more flavor. Fries were good. Shrimp tacos were also very good.

The shrimp and scallops were delicious. I had the fried and blackened of both were cooked perfectly. Complimentary ice cream, too! Can't beat it. read more

Food was tasty. Staff was friendly. Cheerful, family dining. Soft serve ice cream machine is a lovely bonus.

The food was well prepared and tasty. We enjoyed the atmosphere and Nicholas was amazing. Thanks for the great experiance.

Waiter/service was ok, food was ok and price was ok. Waiter did not tell us about the lunch specials. I ordered the fried shrimp (what Iguanas is known for) appetizer and onion rings which counted as a side. My biggest disappointment was that the portion size was underwhelming- 6 pieces of small to medium sized fried shrimp for $12.99. Given the size of shrimp 8-10 pieces would have been appropriate. Other meals ordered by my party were more generous but just average in taste. I would rate iguanas with 2.5 stars if the rating system allowedbest With all of the restaurant choices on the island I doubt I will be back to iguanas. read more
