Jesus fuck, I love dive bars but the smoke smell at the door almost knocked me over. No thank you.

Way too smokey. Real shame because it's awesome otherwise, but you will smell like cigarettes the rest of the night if you go here.

Upon reflection, I'm not sure if I should leave a thank you note or a written letter of apology…read more Ziggy's was a great experience. If you are on St. Simon's island, go here for a good time. Think Johnny's Hideaway goes coastal. I can see everyone having a good time and it definitely being a judgement-free-zone. Ahh, the trouble you can get into outside of a WinnDixe Parking lot. Welcome to the uniqueness of Georgia and the rest of the South. We went on Memorial Day weekend and it was happening. Everyone was there, young and old. I suggest checking it out if you get the chance.

Been here on SSI for about 2 1/2 years and have seen this restaurant from the outside when I have…read morebeen in The Retreat Plaza shopping and decided today to give it a try. Went for lunch with my wife and found Megan our server to be very nice & helpful with menu items. My wife had the Grouper Finger Basket w/fries. The fish was cooked nicely and the shoe string fries were tasty. Comes with both tartar & cocktail sauces. I had the Gyro w/Brussel sprouts including the Thai sauce & honey sauce for dipping the sprouts on Megan's recommendation . She also recommended the pasta salad which I will try next time. Megan was spot on with dipping the sprouts in both sauces! The Gyro I had was with lamb, tomato, lettuce & tzatziki sauce. The meat was hot & veggies w/sauce were cold and was fantastic! From the ambience standpoint there weren't a lot of folks at lunch time other than those playing cards or mahjong which was about 10 people. But, there is a large bar that is fully stocked, ample high top tables for eating or drinking etc. & quite a few pool tables & video game room. My only knock is no draft beer & they serve Pepsi products. Other than those 2 items, I will come back & try dinner time as I believe the vibe will have more energy. The food again was very good and they seem to do a good take out business too. Looking forward to trying the dinner hour time frames.

I am here again and experienced delicious food and excellent service in a beautiful atmosphere…read morewhich has been remodeled since my last visit. There were 3 of us and everyone enjoyed the food.....but our sweet waitress, Hannah , really made our meal even more special. I had shrimp and oysters with a salad and Brussels sprouts. All of it was just right....but the sprouts were very different and so so good. Two of us had key lime pie that was presented so beautifully. Super seafood, sides, service and atmosphere! I will be back!

My lady, her mom, and I got in to St. Simon's Island late on a Sunday and were looking for a place…read moreto eat. Not much was open but we found this place was hopping so we stopped by. Overall, it was a pretty good experience. The food was good, the service was excellent, and it was fairly laid back. There was a live band playing which I didn't expect on a Sunday night but it was alright. Their libations menu was nice and nicely priced. Food-wise was kinda your standard pub grub with a few tasty surprises. Here's what we had: Drinks: -Backhouse Pinot noir -Silver Bluff Mexican lager Dinner: -Wild GA shrimp basket w/ side salad -Shrimp and Grits -Fried Flounder with side of mashed potatoes -Clam chowder My shrimp and grits were good but a touch salty. My lady and her mom enjoyed their food for sure. This place was pretty packed almost every night so it's definitely a local favorite. They're certainly doing something right for that. I'd consider going back next visit.
