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

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

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 - Shrimp appetizer with bacon wrapped, buffalo, fried and one other flavor. - Seafood Near Me - St. Simons, Georgia

Great seafood, attentive service and it was so nice we were able to sit outside. Looking forward to visiting again.

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

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

They have the best Alfredo I have ever had! I had the blackened chicken. The sauce was light and very flavorful. It is a large serving that comes with garlic toast. The service was great. Our server, Alan was very attentive and friendly. I highly recommend them and if I ever get back to St. Simons Island I will definitely come back to Iguanas!! 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

They got my entire order wrong I asked for a fried chicken sandwhich with no tomatoes and fries they gave me blacked, with tomato and lettuce and they gave me fries which was the only thing they got right.

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

Great Coconut Shrimp! This very casual spot is great for a low key dinner or for groups. They have a soft serve machine in the back for guests and an attentive wait staff. The coconut shrimp is always tasty and the Caribbean glazed chicken was delicious. Overall a great causal spot that I've enjoyed for years. read more

I'll start with great food and service. Location and ambiance a plus. We sat at bar on a Sat. and had outstanding service. Now for critique: 1. Branding completely off. We have lived here for 6 months trying all the restaurants and completely avoided because we thought it was a Mexican restaurant (not really what we were looking for after beach day), 2. Doesn't come up under restaurants in Yelp. We weren't sure of the reviews before going. 3. Once we finally went, we were greatly surprised at quality of seafood. Had a great fish sandwich and even more surprising was my husband's burger which he says is best burger ever. Highly recommend a brand refresh. Food and service is outstanding and we will be back now that we know. read more

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

The shrimp here is incredible. I come back for it every time I'm in SSI. Great bar atmosphere with very friendly staff. Wouldn't recommend the espresso martini which I'm sure any local would look at me sideways for ordering, but everything else is super good. Don't forget to grab your free once cream either! read more

Great food and good services, in a very nice area. The BIG bonus is you get some soft serve ice cream after .

Stopped in for lunch and was pleased with everything. The food and service were spot on. We got the shrimp platter and it was delicious. The decor can use an upgrade but it's still a fun ocean theme. Definitely worth it if you need a place to eat while at SSI. read more

We came here for late dinner/drinks and sat at the bar. The people around us were quite friendly and the bartenders were fun. Definitely a fun vibe. The drinks were great. Food was good too.

we started great with peel and eat shrimp very fresh and delicious, my wife has dairy allergies and we informed our server. she ordered a mahi mahi dish, it was over cooked tough and chewy very disappointing. When she tasted her side of rice she tasted butter and ate no more but had stomach distress all evening. We had heard good things about this place but were disappointed with our experience read more

I came here for an early dinner. I was alone, so was asked to sit at the bar, which I would prefer not to do, but I agreed. They were busy, but had plenty of empty tables. The decor is nautical with lots of wood. The young girl in the bar area was kind even though she was very busy. I had a combo with shrimp and oysters, broccoli, hush puppies and coleslaw. The shrimp and oysters were just ok, had better at another place nearby. The coleslaw was good, mayonnaise based. I didn't like the hush puppies at all, one small bite was enough. It was an expensive meal and I was disappointed. I was here last year and it was better. read more

We started with calamari. It was awful and we returned it. It was rubbery and very fishy tasting. Tasted old cooked in old oil. The Server recommended the gumbo. Very good and creamy. Full of flavor. Good choice. Fully recommend the Gumbo. We had the Grouper Special on spinach risotto and asparagus spears and the Caribbean Mahi Mahi with mashed potatoes and steamed Broccoli. The Grouper is delicious, very light with a hint of lemon butter. Well cooked and presented. The Caribbean Mahi was delicious and the Caribbean sauce was perfect. I fully recommend this Restuarant however recommend that you should choose inside seating. We chose outside seating as the weather was delightful. They allow dogs in the Restuarant outside seating area. Another patron had a barking pit bull dog that would not stop barking which totally spoiled the atmosphere. Other than that, the server was friendly, knowledgeable and excellent. They removed the cost of the calamari from our final bill. We ended the meal with complimentary ice cream Sunday bar which is available to every diner. read more

Right off the strip in the downtown area of St. Simons Island, this place was our only seafood stop while on vacation. My dad had suggested it so we all opted to give it a try. It's your run of the mill seafood decor inside. Wooden tables and lots of large fake sharks hanging off the walls & ceilings. I opted for no drinks and did a dozen oysters for appetizers for the table. Nothing fancy about the oysters, not too big or small, horseradish and cocktail sauce (no saltines) served with and cold. Could have used a small fork to get them out. They came super quick, along with the food too. (Word of advice, spread out your appetizer order). Our server was awesome and really took care of us. That's part of the reason for the 5 stars. The other part was due to the grilled mahi mahi sammie I had. It was blackened and cooked to perfection. Best one I've had! They also have a free ice cream station with toppings (you can do a bowl or a cone). Overall, great visit for the family! Would recommend! read more

Free ice cream and as much as you want! Hahah. The food was great. I ordered the surf and turf and it was well cooked and seasoned nicely. The service was great. My wife had combo and really enjoyed it. A little pricey but everything in SSI is. read more

Spouse ordered the crab cake and a sweet potato side, I ordered their shrimp and grits. All were excellent. Our server asked us if we wanted dessert and it was only when we declined (we were full!) that she disclosed that there was free soft serve ice cream on the rear dining area (we were seated up front and thus didn't know). Be aware that despite being a reasonably large establishment, it is very popular and does fill up...we went on a Tuesday during high season and while we got in just fine at around 4:45pm, by the time was left at around 5:30-5:45 there was already a wait. read more

I was very impressed with this spot! I had already done some research of restaurants in the area that were dog friendly (since we were traveling with our Lab) and had it on my list as an option. We ate here on a Wednesday afternoon for lunch as we were doing a little touristy shopping at that moment. They are in the heart of the shopping strip by the pier... prime location. Upon arriving, the hostess stand gave dog treats to our pup so they immediately scored points. They advised that we could sit at any outside table that we wished and we opted for a table in the corner for a good spot to secure our pup. The menu didn't excite me initially as most seemed fried; however, there were a lot of options. I was a little indecisive on what I wanted to order and asked a few questions to my waitress. She was very friendly and provided me with what I needed. I decided to order the crab cake dinner with green beans and cole slaw. My boyfriend ordered the blackened scallops with green beans and extra hushpuppies as his 2nd side. We ordered fries for our pup. We were pleasantly surprised at how good all of our food was. We both cleared our plates. I'm very picky about crab cakes, wanting a good amount of lump crab meat and not so much breading... this was spot on. Plenty of lump crab meat! Green beans were wonderful as well. The pup enjoyed his fries... no complaints from him. :) Then we were told that there was free ice cream inside. My boyfriend got a couple cones for us and the pup. He most certainly enjoyed that too! I only went inside to use the restroom, which were clean. The inside of the restaurant looked very spacious with a big bar. read more

Great service. Friendly and helpful servers with fun decor. The fish tacos are unlike any I've had. Super taste with a great price point.

The service was great! Really cool ambiance and the food (blackened shrimp) was great tasting and plenty. Went with two other people and their orders (scallops and shrimp po boy) were really tasty. The food also came out pretty quickly. We did not try the free ice cream because we were too full after the meal. read more

We were looking for a good seafood restaurant on St Simons Island and chose Iguanas because the menu looked good and they have gluten free options. Also, it's located downtown and has a very nice beach vibe on the inside. We started with the shrimp cocktail which was great. The shrimp were meaty and the cocktail sauce tasted great too. My Bloody Mary was the perfect combo too. Our server, Shiela, was very helpful with her recommendations. I ordered the blackened fish dinner, which was supposed to be haddock, but tasted like flounder. I mentioned this to Sheila and she made sure that we were happy. The Manager, Mike also came to talk to us to make sure we were happy with the food quality. Even though it was in my opinion, the wrong fish the meal tasted great and the personal service was fantastic. We will be back on our next visit. read more

We were visiting the area on vacation and wanted a good place for dinner on our first night. We saw iguanas and checked in to see if they had availability for four people. They were able to seat us immediately. The restaurant was packed with people, so we figured it was popular. The waitress brought us our menus quickly and asked for our drink orders. We were able to look over the seafood based menu before ordering. I chose the blackened flounder with green beans, hush puppies, and coleslaw. The food came out quickly and was hot. The blackened fish was okay but somewhat dry. The hush puppies were three tiny pieces. The coleslaw and green beans were good. There was free ice cream as we walked out, so we got ice cream cones with sprinkles to go. They had other toppings to choose from and options of cones or bowls. read more
