Wanted to try this place based on a recommendation from a friend. We wanted to try the wing special…read moreon Monday which featured $1 wings and also see what else they had on the menu. We ordered 12 wings with Mikes seasoning and the lemon pepper dry rub. We also ordered a Caesar salad with red fish and a glass of beer and wine. After eating the first dozen,we ordered another six wings with the Carolina sauce. Overall, the wings were good but didn't like the blue cheese or ranch dressing so much. The salad with red fish was also fine. My wife liked the fish, but I thought it was a little bit tough Overall, it was a nice experience and I would probably go back for the Thursday $10 burger special. I would rate this at a 3.6 but with yelp I have to stick the whole numbers and it's not quite at the level of a 4.0. Good service and good experience.

We visited for a bachelorette party and everyone agreed Dorothy's was top notch!…read more The restaurant has a beautiful ambiance with enough warmth to invite diners to stay awhile. The seating was plush and comfortable and the tables are spaced far enough apart that you enjoy your own conversation without hearing everyone else's at the same time- a big plus in my book. Our server, Cameron, took the best care of us, answering questions and making suggestions that ensured everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal. They offer a happy hour for cocktails and small plates even on Saturday which we all took advantage of! Between the group we sampled a large portion of the menu and the only thing we didn't LOVE was the steak Kushiyaki (skewered grilled meat). The steak was too tough and smoky for our tastes, but every other dish and drink we would absolutely recommend! Some standouts were the Szechuan noodles, the salmon and Hamachi crudo, the tuna tartare and surprisingly? The burger and fries! I will definitely be back next time I'm in the area!

My wife started with a glass of wine and I had an old-fashioned. The wine was a Zwiegelt and a decent pour which was nice and dry. I enjoyed the old-fashioned which was nicely presented but on regular cubes. We ordered a number of items off the HH menu, including the shaved Brussels sprouts salad, black bean tlacoyos, a short rib torta, and the Dorothy burger and fries. The torta was tasty but small. I'd pass on the tlacoyos but it was fine. We also ordered a fresh salmon belly off the raw bar menu which was my favorite and very tasty and would definitely order again. This was a nice experience and would try again. I'd rate at a 4.4 if Yelp scoring allowed it. Check it out.

Very nice place. My wife and I stopped for dinner at Halyards since it was on our list of places…read morethat we wanted to try. We arrived for an early dinner and we're greeted by the hostess and bartender. Everyone was very welcoming and they offered us seating anywhere in the bar area. Even though we didn't have a reservation, we were offered seating in the dining room. Once we were seated, we ordered wine and the Apple, Pecan, and goat cheese salad (split in two plates). The server brought us both a very nice portion and we thoroughly enjoyed the salad as it was fresh and very tasty. My wife ordered the Shrimp and Grits which they are known for as being notable and I ordered the Seafood Pot Pie. The shrimp and grits were excellent with a heap of blackened shrimp over a flavorful Gouda course grits. The shrimp were cooked just right. The seafood pot pie had the blue crab bisque as the base and loaded with shrimp, white fish, salmon, and small scallops. It was topped with a puffed pastry square. The pot pie was also an excellent dish that I would definitely recommend. Next time I may come back for the crab bisque as an appetizer. This is a very nice place, with great atmosphere, and very friendly service. I would give it a 5.0 and recommend you try it.

Highly recommended! Chris was a great server and Camille was incredibly accommodating with our party. 10/10 across the board!

She not only kept up with all of our shenanigans but gave it right back, which made the experience even more fun. Attentive, personable, and just a great vibe all around. We started with peach martinis (highly recommend) along with the fried okra, crab soup, wedge salad, and beet salad. Everything was fresh and full of flavor--great way to kick off the meal. For the main course we tried the flounder prepared a few different ways--one fried, one pan-seared, and one bronzed--and each one was fantastic. And then two orders of scallops which were incredibly buttery and cooked perfectly. We wrapped it all up with a slice of Georgia pecan pie that was the perfect sweet ending. Great food, great service, and a really fun night. We'll definitely be back.

We were visiting St Simon's and a friend recommended that we stop here. Well, I couldn't be happier…read morethat we took her advice as we stopped once for lunch and got takeout for dinner two days later. The sliced brisket sandwich was piled high with tender delicious brisket. Loved the spicy sauce and the side of mac and cheese was also delicious. We got takeout of smoked turkey, baked beans and potato salad. What a dinner! The turkey was phenomenal as were the sides. I only wish they weren't 1000 miles away.

Wow! This was the highlight of my trip. Well worth the drive…read more First the pricing seems very fair for what you get. Ok ok, ribs are not suppose to fall off the bone when you pick them up. That is over cooked. These were perfect! They stayed on the bone all the way up to the bite. The brisket was spot on. I loved that the sauces were on the side as you could try it with just the seasoning on the meat and then with the sauce. Their mustard sauce was amazing. We don't have bbq like this in cali. We don't. Just like we don't have NY pizza, true NY pizza. I bought a bottle of sauce.... And it's gone already. Thank goodness they have a store online and I'm just waiting for my shipment to arrive. You have to try this place! Ohhhh and I never had Brunswick stew!!!! Omg delicious

I found this spot when we weee staying nearby and looking for some biscuits and gravy…read more We were quickly seated and started looking over the menu. There were some great options which made choosing difficult, but we tried the biscuits and gravy (go ahead - get 2 biscuits!) and the fried chicken and biscuit. Both were great! The sandwich wasn't huge so it was a perfect amount for breakfast. We sat inside - it's very cute - with a market and to go as well as the tables. Food comes up fast and is really reasonably priced! The chicken was perfectly fried - not greasy - and the hot honey was a nice touch (and thankfully, not too hot). Good bathrooms and lots of tasty looking items in the refrigerated cases (including various types of seafood to cook).

I decided on a grits bowl . I was shocked at ghe size of the bowl when it was delivered a short while later. Huge is an understatement. The grits were well done, the bacon plentiful and lots of cheese. I could only finish about half of it. Really nice dish I will get again. There's not a lot of tables, and it would be hard for a large group but even if you have to wait for a table, it is worth the wait! I will return!

This place is one of St.Simons Island's hidden gems! Featuring a mix of seafood and American-style…read morecuisine with some southern flair, the food is quite delicious! I highly recommend their buffalo crab dip, a concoction that is a buffalo cheese dip served with fresh lump crab. You can really taste the crab in this dish. They don't skimp on it at all. The most clever thing that they did here, though, is to serve it with wonton chips. It's something that's truly unique, as most restaurants would serve a dish like this with regular chips. The wonton chips are a treat unto themselves, having great wonton flavor. However, when you combine it with the dip, it really takes it over the top. Highly recommend. For my entree, I had their Cajun Alfredo pasta. It is linguine served in a "Cajun-spiced Alfredo sauce". It is "served with tasso and smoked sausage", and you can choose to have it with either chicken or wild GA shrimp. In either case, once again, they do not skimp . You get a heaping portion of either chicken or shrimp, and the sauce is very tasty. It is just as described, an Alfredo sauce with a little Cajun flavor, though it is not spicy. It is served with no sides, but no sides are necessary as it is a hearty portion all by itself. Very delicious. The most impressive thing that I saw is that the owner is very hands-on. They have these new-fangled mobile electronic lamps, and the owner came by and noticed that ours wasn't quite working. He replaced it immediately himself. He was very friendly and chatted us up. He also went around and was serving and clearing tables himself. It seems that if you eat here, there's a strong possibility that you could end up meeting the owner! Meeting him was a very nice touch. The only thing that I had a hard time with here was choosing a dish because everything looked so good on the menu! Delicious food and great service. I strongly recommend this place!

The truffle fries were absolutely worth the upgrade--crispy, indulgent, and hard to stop eating. Overall, a great first dinner experience post-renovation.
