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

Stopped in today with hubby for lunch. Was greeted right away by hostess, who was very pleasant and had a great sense of humor. We sat at the bar so we could watch the football game. Hubby ordered Parmesan oysters and a shrimp platter. I ordered the haddock blackened, shrimps fried, sweet potato fries and coleslaw. The food was delicious. My shrimps were juicy and fried very well, batter light and nicely seasoned. Haddock was not over cooked and the blackened season was just right. We really enjoyed our lunch here. The only item we didn't really care for was the Parmesan grilled oysters. The oysters were not grilled, they still had the sliminess to them. Seemed like the cheese was the only thing allowed to cook. They can use a little more seasoning as well. The place is spacious and well decorated like being on the beach/fishing boat. Would definitely come back and do recommend. read more

Iguanas Seafood Restaurant - Fried shrimp and clam strips - Seafood Near Me - St. Simons, Georgia

A yummy spot to grab some food while on the island! We shopped all morning and wanted a spot to sit inside to cool down. This is a large spot and would be great for crowds. One of the shop owners said this was voted one of the best places to eat on the island. Our server was super personable and helpful, and made some suggestions. I ended up getting a chicken sandwich which was tasty, but the real winner was the free soft serve ice cream at the end of the meal. Love that. Check it out! read more

A good tour spot right on the water. Also would be a good local place to hang out and watch games at the bar. Hailey was a very good server, checked on us quite often and accommodated one of the requests regarding oysters (steamed and raw mixed). We even met her mom, the manager... She was very friendly, had great conversation with her. A crabcake sandwich was bigger than I expected, and it was delicious. A little messy, the crabcake didn't stay together very well. A few items were a little pricey, but that's to be expected considering where you are. Great beer selection. Overall, I would go again when in town. Beautiful area!! read more

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

We loved our meal - great service, plenty of seating available, kind staff and delicious food with solid portions. I had the blackened shrimp and WOW. I'd definitely order again. I also tried the scallops and everything was super. Apparently there's an "island special" you can order that's not on the menu if you want a smaller plate of shrimp & a baked potato for a good deal. (i hope it's ok that i'm sharing this secret!) I wish we were here long enough for me to eat there a few more times. read more

Enjoy a delicious flounder dinner today. It was seasoned to perfection, with the perfect crisp. Service was wonderful, the manage even came by our table to greet us. The ambiance was pleasant. 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

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

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

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

Onion rings are the best. Also loved the fried shrimp and free ice cream. There is a lot to choose from on the menu, and I have loved everything I tried. 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

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

We love Iguana's - great food and great service. My parents love the broiled shrimp and I'm a big fan of the fish sandwich! Our favorite server is Annika - she's always enthusiastic and friendly and efficient and after just a couple of visits she remembered my parents order and preferences! Aimée (and Ernest and Cynthia) 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

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

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

We were looking for a light lunch in St. Simon's before heading out to Jekyll and Florida. Iquanas fit the bill. Nice cold ice tea and the shrimp sampler with a side salad and coleslaw was delicious. The buffalo shrimp were just zippy enough. Friendly and efficient service. Enjoyable sitting out on the patio watching folks walk by. Plus the bonus of complimentary soft serve ice cream after the meal was perfect way to end lunch. 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

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

Been staying on the island for a week recuperating from surgery and honestly this is the best restaurant so far. The shrimp appetizer was excellent and the mahi mahi plate was delicious. My son had the steak and he didn't leave anything on his plate. Our server was great. Definitely a must go to place. read more

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

Annika was wonderful and the food was great. We will return on our next visit. We highly recommend.

Food was great, service was excellent! It does get busy, we went on a Monday night and had about a 30 minute wait at 7pm. No problem, they have benches out front for you to sit and people watch. Food was excellent, I ordered my steak rare and figured it would come out overdone, Nope! It came out at the perfect temp. I forgot to snap a pic of the kids menu, but they had chicken tenders, grilled cheese, spaghetti, shrimp, fish, and a few other options (I think a hamburger and cheeseburger as well) Oh!!! And don't forget the complimentary soft serve ice cream. You can get a bowl or cone and as much as you want. They have vanilla, chocolate, and then vanilla/chocolate swirl. They've got a little bar with Hot Fudge, Caramel, and Peanut Butter, as well as sprinkles, chocolate sprinkles and nuts to put on top. read more
