Skipper's Fish Camp is such a vibe for a laid-back brunch...especially with a group. We went on a triple date and were seated right away, which is always a win. Destiny was our server and she handled everything like a pro, even with a very difficult table next to us. You could tell she was hustling and still kept a great attitude...service definitely stood out. Food-wise, we ordered a little bit of everything: alligator bites, a dozen oysters, and the whole flounder with mac & cheese and collard greens. The alligator bites were easily my favorite--crispy, flavorful, and not chewy at all. The collard greens were also a standout, seasoned just right and full of flavor. The oysters (from Virginia) were fresh and hit the spot. The flounder itself was cooked well, but it could've used a bit more seasoning to really bring it home. Same with the mac & cheese...just a little bland compared to everything else on the table. I also had a prosecco, which paired perfectly with the seafood and kept things feeling light and fun. Overall, great atmosphere, strong service, and a few standout dishes. I'd definitely come back...just know what to order. read more

If I could give zero star, I would. After two hours, our food was still not served. Food was pricey and did not match what was served. Finally got drinks, but hardly any refills that were needed. I asked for silverware four times to no avail. My sister and brother's fish sandwich's looked awful, my stew was good, but sweet potato fries never arrived, sister n law's fried oyster salad was good, but she had to wait ten minutes for salad dressing and utensils to eat with. We will never come back. $20.00 on our meals was was deducted, but I noticed that the waiter did not remove my sweet potato fries (that never arrived)charge!!! They had to redo the darn ticket, so we could get back on the road. Also, it looked like maybe the regulars were getting waited on in a high priority manner. We all left upset and hungry. Pros:waterfront Cons:parking was tight and on a hill. High prices did not match the rank food. Waiter never remembered what I would ask for more drinks, silverware, take fries off, etc. Worst service I've experienced in my entire life. Recommend? Notta! read more

Fun place to stop for lunch. We sat in the screened in outdoor area. It's great to be able to watch the activity on the river. Pros and cons here. Pros: view, great wait staff, smoked meats are amazing. Cons: bland grits, styrofoam cups, awful water. I do recommend-great ambience and go for the smoked meats! read more

First of all-I want to say that I found this place by using yelp-so BIG THANKS to the people that have posted about this restaurant! The interior and outside are absolutely beautiful-so charming! We were greeted and seated quickly-and it was a busy day here! The staff kept everything moving with grace and good cheer! My husband had the grouper platter and enjoyed it! I had 1 crab cake from the appetizer menu-and combined it with a baked potato. Both were really good! The crab cake was excellent! The perfect seasoning and tender-cooked perfectly! read more

Hubby and I planned a day trip up to the Brunswick area. We picked Skipper's Fish Camp for our lunch spot. We arrived and were seated within minutes. The hostess was super sweet! I ordered the fried fish and grits with collard greens as my side. Hubby ordered the fried grouper strips and French fries. Both meals came with hush puppies. I really liked my dish. The fish was flaky and lightly seasoned. The grits with cheese and bacon on top were very tasty. The collard greens had great texture and flavor. Good hush puppies, too. Hubby thought his meal was just okay. The grouper strips were a bit dry. He liked the French fries. They were fresh, crispy, and seasoned. Our server was attentive and helpful. Great staff and food. Plus they had cute cats living outside! Win, win, win! read more

My husband enjoys coming here when he is in the area. Our family of four came around 6:30 pm on a Saturday evening and had about a 25 minute wait. The dock area is beautiful and the weather was nice, so we took time to take photos. When we were seated, our server took our drink orders quickly and food came out at a reasonable time. My kids shared a large ribeye steak which they found a little on the fatty side and six grilled shrimp (surf and turf). They got sweet potato fries which was a generous serving and cheese grits which were both devoured. My husband got the fried shrimp plate which he enjoyed. I got a baked potato which was humongous and delicious. We ended up paying in cash to avoid the 4% surcharge for credit card. So bring cash if you are budget conscious! read more

What a great stop on our way to southern Florida -- literally minutes off of 95 and right on the water. They have seafood and bbq so take your pick, along with a decent selection of beers on tap Hubs and I opted for the grouper sandwich (if you come on the weekend make sure you ask as it's not on the menu). Comes with one side and a good size portion. It was a beautiful November day so we opted to sit outside. Blackened Grouper sandwich with Sweet-water 420 on a beautiful day on the water. How great is that? Would definitely recommend and thank you to Jordan and the other waitstaff for taking such good care of us. read more

It really bothers me that this restaurant charges 4% extra if you pay with a credit card. That's just rude. Food is good but I am a business owner and the fee is 1.8 to 3.5 % and in am case I've never charged a person who is patronizing my business the fee... it's the cost of going business. I find this practice just petty and rude! Raise your prices if you can't afford to pay this yourself. Yes the food is good and service is good. But I do not appreciate being charged for your ability to do business. Or maybe you like cash to cheat on your taxes. read more

Have visited many times over past few years by ourselves and brought our guests and family! Last Sunday April 12th - drove the hour trip from Bryan County with family and were very disappointed Service was poor, other tables were getting their dinners while we sat - (they entered same time as us) things came at scattered times! My husband waited for his fries which were not good, thick and mealy. He was told the wait was due to the fries still in "the grease" - r you kidding???? Who would eat them after that statement!! Just a disappointment in general read more

Cute building right on the water. Great places for photos. Shrimp and grits were meh-the grits were undercooked. Prime rib was good. Ribs were not fall off the bone at all read more

I ordered the Sunset salad with grilled chicken added (to go).$15.99+$5.99. The salad I received did not have mixed greens, grilled marinated vegetables or feta cheese. Spinach was the only green. Four small pieces of grilled chicken (think nuggets). Very disappointing. Will not go again read more

This was not a planned visit. We actually saw a sign on I 75 and decided to take a chance. The moms ordered the same thing. Shrimp and grits. They seemed to like the meal. My husband ordered the fresh fish sandwich. It was the best thing at the table. I ordered the shrimp salad. It was very different from the regular shrimp salad but good. The restaurant is right on the water with a beautiful view. There are turtles outside for funsies. read more

Skippers is fun and good low country cookin. I'm betting it's been there for years. Robert Irvine might have something to say about the decor, but the food shines and the staff are movin & groovin. We went on a very busy Saturday and didn't wait long. I'll go back for sure! read more

Tasty food. Great potions. Kind and quick service. The crab cake was delicious and I couldn't get enough of the delicious whole crispy flounder. A super fun atmosphere with gators and fish on the walls and a turtle pond when you walk up. Can't wait to come back the next time we're in town. read more

Wow! It was a 45 minute wait on a Friday night but it was so worth it!!! I had the 1/2 and 1/2 and got fried shrimp and oysters. They were so fresh and tasty. I tried the hush puppies and they were not too heavy. The cheese grits were my first side and they were good but the server recommended the sweet potato soufflé and WOW! I was planning one bite because I was getting pretty full but after that bite, I could not stop because I was trying to figure out how they were made. The had a stronger cinnamon flavor and they were extremely light and fluffy. I have never had sweet potato soufflé like that. They were so good and not overtly sweet. The staff and servers were super friendly and the wait went by fast because you can go outside and walk around the boats. The parking lot was full but I was able to find a spot. It was worth the trip and the wait!! read more

We were lucky to enjoy a delicious dinner at Skippers after a long car ride. We arrived at 5:30 on a Saturday evening and the restaurant was packed with families, couples and large parties of friends. To our surprise we only needed to wait for 10 minutes for our group of 3. Our server was very efficient and our food came out quickly. I ordered a bowl of Brunswick soup which was brimming with hearty vegetables in a savory tomato base and tender chicken and pork. Delicious and super filling! I also ordered the lump blue crab cake which a hit. The kids had mozzarella sticks, fried pickles and chicken fingers which were tasted too. Full and happy belly! read more

2/26/23 If you're not wearing a t-shirt and flip flops you're over dressed. You'll definitely feel the local, coastal vibe of the low country when you walk in the door. This restaurant can get packed, and they don't take reservations. Today we started with a half dozen raw oysters and Mother Nature delivered. Disappointingly, the baked Key Lime Garlic Parmesan oysters were overly sweetened by the Key Lime sauce used. Awful and not a reorder. Today they were out of flounder and crab. The appetizer Grouper basket hit the spot and was fried crispy tender. The fried oysters were the clear winner of Hubs combo platter while the fried shrimp a big disappointment. Two sides accompany the combo platters. Their slaw dressing is mayonnaise based and the slaw is heavily dressed. The seasoned fries were good and hot. Look forward to returning when it's shrimp season! read more

If you appreciate fresh seafood off the boat go here. Had spicy garlic peel and eat shrimp for appetizer then fresh blackened grouper and crab cake combo with side of collard greens and onion rings. Everything was cooked perfectly and with great flavor. Staff was very welcoming and friendly. Beautiful restaurant right on the water. Prices are very reasonable probably underpriced for the quality. It's definitely worth the short ride off 95. read more

I've been to Skipper's several times over the past 20 years. The last time I went the service was horrible. It took the waitress 45 minutes to take our order and another 45 minutes to get the food, which was cold. She never paid attention to our table. Not to mention I paid $40 for a steak that was overcooked. To top it off the table across from us had toddlers who were allowed to run wild around the restaurant. I won't be back. read more

The atmosphere it totally relaxed and the food is fabulous! My husband is KETO and had a fabulous dinner! And the sides are just as great as the mains. Often the sides are an afterthought, but they were all delicious. We will definitely be back! read more

The food was OK. Nothing fabulous, the oysters refreshed and big, but they weren't well shocked and had shells in them and so forth. The patio was dirty and trashy and not well kept between tables. We sent back the shrimp dip, it was just very underwhelming, but man could it be awesome. The location is amazing. The vibe could be gray. It's gorgeous outside, looking at the water and all the boats. read more

Skipper's Fish Camp - Seafood Near Me - Darien, Georgia

We ate here for lunch and recommend the outdoor seating with the boats view and the bridge view. Our server was friendly and tried hos best to accommodate our needs. This place has awesome fried food and crab cake sandwich. The fried pickle and fried calamari were seasoned well and fried to perfection. The collards green was okay and the beef brisket was on the dry side that day but everything else were good. I don't mind coming back to this place if I am in passing thru this town. read more

After a hard mornin' in the duck hole and a less than fruitful afternoon of wetting a line and sit in the deer stand, the fellas and I decided to make the 25 minute drive from our remote fish camp upriver down into Darien for supper. Boy am I glad we did because Skipper's served up some seafood and service I won't soon forget. While January is not a busy time of year for tourists in coastal Georgia, Skipper's must be on their A-game year round. Our crew of four exhausted and grizzled young men sauntered in for some post-hunt grub and drinks. We were happily greeted and sat in the near empty restaurant and admired the nice fish and large alligator on the walls. I wasn't a huge fan of the music pouring from the kitchen, which consisted of new pop and punk; I think some 70's country or at least Alan Jackson would have matched the aesthetic a bit better. However our server quickly took our drinks and rang in some oysters for us (the one good thing about coming this time of year should have been the oysters on the half shell, but to our dismay they were out of raw unshucked oysters!). I asked to speak to Skipper about the matter and was told he was out of office, but our server did get us some fresh grilled oysters that were juicy and fresh and everything you'd want in an oyster. Served with lemon, cocktail sauce, crackers, and a delicious house made remoulade, out of the three of us who ordered dozens not one oyster went uneaten. I went with a shrimp platter with sides of cheese grits and collards as my entree, while my mateys ordered the scallop platter and I think two mahi and crab cake combos. Our server checked on us with great frequency, and kept my Diet Coke topped off as well as the beers of my colleagues. After our delicious oysters, we were excited for our main courses, and before we knew it out they arrived! Not much to even say here, the shrimp were delicious, crispy, and not overcooked, and the sides were outstanding. I also heard great reports of the fish and crab cakes; there was not one complaint of a piece of shell being in one of these cakes, so I assume they're made with some quality control. I tried a seared scallop from a friend's plate and it was excellent: firm enough, yet buttery and tender. Overall, I would definitely come back to Skipper's again, especially when it gets a bit warmer and Darien gets more of a crowd. This spot did, however, lose a star due to the 4% credit card fee (ridiculous policy), lack of raw oysters, and poor kitchen music with none in the dining room. Outside of those minor issues, we had some great food and definitely enjoyed the dockside aesthetic of Skipper's Fish Camp. If you do drop in, I hope you're lucky enough to get served by Marissa, she did an excellent job! Perfectly attentive, never annoying but always on top of it! Hopefully next time Skipper will be there for me to personally thank him, but for now I will thank all of Skipper's for our great experience. read more

Very Disappointing... we followed the billboard on the highway hoping for some fresh delicious food for my two kids and I and walked away with a large bill and take home plates we immediately threw away. The food was not tasty and barely warm and if I had to guess had either been frozen or left over from the day before. I hated to waste my money so I thought hey I'll take the leftovers to our hotel but we threw them away before we even got back. I will say it's a gorgeous atmosphere on the water with a sweet TomCat that lives outside... just don't go in hungry. read more

We had eaten at Skippers a few years back and decided to have dinner there on our trip south. The food has sadly gone downhill. We ordered calamari and split an order of crab cakes and scallops, with onion rings and collard greens as sides. The calamari and the crab cakes were fair but not great, the scallops tasted old, and the collards were bland. The best part of dinner was the onion rings ... sad for a seafood joint. Service was good! read more

Great experience! Great food and service. I shared some appetizers with my sis - the fried Grouper strips with a light batter and soft flaky texture - so mild, yet flavorful. We also had the fried squash strips and the green beans are lovely. The place has nice views and a deck, casual seafood restaurant interior. I will definitely be back! read more

If I could rate this 4 1/2 I would. Traveling back from out of town and didn't want fast food. We were headed towards a nearby restaurant before seeing a billboard for Skippers. Checked the Yelp ratings and knew I had to try. It is literally a hidden gem- not what you expect when you are traveling down the main road. **Easy and a quick drive to navigate to from 95 and worth it** 1- Seating: Lots of rocking chairs and benches outside with an inside seating half on one side and a bar and outside seating half on the other. We sat outside- great water and boat views, tv in with football was a plus. 2- Service: Great. Blake was on top of everything and didn't rush us at all. We also had two other people (maybe a manager) check in at different times. 3- Food and Drinks: Yummy. Kicked off with sodas and a Sweetwater for me. Husband and I split the crab chowder- FULL of crab, only a little potatoes. Super delicious flavor and was my favorite part of the meal. My daughter also had a bowl (they were out of cups) and the fried shrimp (tender and good). My son had a kids bacon cheeseburger (large and good) with fries. My daughter had the kids fish sticks and macaroni and cheese. Both good, the fish was actually great- light and flaky and flavorful. My husband and I split the crab cake meal. They were large crab cakes, flavorful with minimal breading. While I do have my favorite elsewhere out of town, they were a close match. We also had a side of cheese grits and collard greens. Cheese grits were good, not the best I had but nothing to complain about. The collard greens had a light smoked flavor- large pieces. No dessert for us- very filling and a lot of food for a decent price. If we were hanging around I would have explored other parts of their menu- specifically the oysters (various styles) and the prosciutto wrapped scallop appetizer. Next time...along with more of that chowder. read more
