Unfortunately there has been a significant decline in the quality of the food particularly the shrimp and crab cakes. The shrimp breading has been changed to a thicker tasteless muck from the crisp light breading similar to that found down the road at B&Js Steak and Shrimp. The crab cake appetizer was pitiful... thin and burnt. Others in our party complimented the Hamburger and the Country Fried Steak so all is not lost but if you want good fried shrimp keep driving. The service is always pretty good but the seafood has really gone downhill and I will not be back

After lunch I got clams from Sapelo Sea Farms that were great! Clean and fresh. We watched boats come in from clamming!! Very cool! That night we ate clams harvested that day!

1 Star I had one of…read morethe worst restaurant experiences I've ever had here. I was next door picking up a load in my semi truck, so I called ahead and ordered fish tacos. I was told it would be about 25 minutes, which was perfectly fine because my pickup was taking around 40 minutes anyway. When I walked into the restaurant, I wasn't acknowledged by anyone. I stood there for a long time and had to ask multiple employees about my order because nobody seemed interested in helping me. The owner/manager never once spoke to me or asked what I needed. After waiting another 20 minutes, the cashier finally came over so I could pay for my food. Then I had to wait another 30 minutes before the food finally came out. After all that waiting, the fish tacos were cold. I asked for a refund, and unfortunately that became another ordeal. The owner didn't know how to process the refund through the register, and after waiting yet another 25 minutes, I finally told them to just give me cash so I could leave. From start to finish, this experience was a complete mess. Poor communication, no sense of urgency, no customer service, and cold food after an extremely long wait. I understand restaurants get busy, but completely ignoring customers and serving cold food after well over an hour is unacceptable. I don't usually leave negative reviews, but I can't recommend this place based on my experience.

The owner is clearly passionate about the menu, execution, restaurant design, staff, and guests. At the end of the night, the entire staff gathered to celebrate an employee who was changing jobs. The menu here is really cool and creative with a a lot of variety. It's a rare restaurant that you could eat at multiple times and have a different experience each time. We didn't even get to the pizzas or entrees, but the tapas were awesome and satisfying! Highly recommend this spot for a, different experience from most traditional restaurants.

The chicharrones were great and the salad as good as expected. My wife ordered the fish entre which was triple tail on a bed of fontina grits and very nice selection of carrots and greens. I ordered the 14 ounce NY Strip steak with roasted potatoes, blue cheese crumbles, and mushrooms. The fish was a very nice portion and very tasty and nicely presented. The steak was cooked perfectly rare and a very nice cut. I highly recommend Ember as one of the better restaurants on SSI.

What could of been better: * The burgers. Huge L on these. 5 burgers and 5 unhappy sad faces. I'm guessing a sad frozen patty on a lukewarm grill. No sear, no flavor and not confident it was even beef. Have had better burgers in a middle school cafeteria. * Fries hot but basic crinkle cut with little to no seasoning. We will be back- it's a cool Place and vibe. Drinks yes burgers a definite no.

This is a great value if you are a big eater and care more about quantity versus quality and taste…read more However my wife is a very small eater and I don't eat as much as I used to so the value for us wasn't as great. With the mixed reviews, we knew were were in for a great meal or a bad one, we were not expecting anything in between. It clearly leaned toward the later. The cleanliness of the dishes were hit in miss. You could pick up a plate or fork and it would have dried food on and so you go get another. The restaurant itself is very large and looks really nice. We were very happy with the service provided to us. The best thing on the menu was the fried pork chop, fried chicken, and mashed potatoes. OK as long as she's had plenty of sauce, but I didn't see the fried ribs they were talking about that I was looking forward to trying. The fried shrimp was popcorn shrimp and wasn't great and they didn't offer fish this night or at least we didn't see it. Most if not all the vegetables were cold and had little flavor. The worst dish by far was the fried Okra. One bite and I was done From the dessert bar I enjoyed the banana pudding and had two helpings. The wife thought the pecan pie was pretty good. She absolutely hated the lemon meringue pie which was grainy in texture an overly sweet. And both of us thought the coconut cream pie was not good at all. Again if you're a big eater and you like quantity and lots of options, this place is perfect for you but for us it's not a good deal.

This is a buffet restaurant that has many choices of meats, salads, veggies and desserts. I started with a salad that was fresh and good dressing. Next I tried the collards, mashed potatoes and fried chicken. I was disappointed with the chicken but everything else was good. My next trip there was shrimp out which is why I came. I got boiled and fried and both were delicious. Desserts were just average or below average, so nothing to recommend. The place was clean but it took a long time for the tables to be cleared. My waitress was seldom seen and I had to ask others for assistance a few times. Overall a good lunch but the service was lacking.
