Phils fisherman plater
Scott A T.

The food is excellent, well seasoned, came to the table hot from the kitchen and they were almost at capacity and a Saturday evening. Our server/waitress was awesome making sure everything was good and we had what we needed. The restaurant is nice, right on Butler Ave. The only issue was the enclosed dining area was hot, three a/c's three fans. Need a few more fans to help move the a/c. As the crowd started to thin out it started to feel better. My stars are mostly for the food and we will be back again soon. A must if visiting Tybee Island.

Inside seating

This was a great place not crowded- service was perfect and the food was fresh and delicious! The only down side is the parking is definitely a problem as this is close to the beach and not many available spots - but the restaurant is worth coming for lunch - I recommend!

Soft-shell crab sandwich

Our server was super friendly and helpful. We all ordered the soft-shell crab sandwich and it was without a doubt the best food we had during our stay at Tybee Island.

1/2 Pound Snow Crab
Ali M.

Incredibly slow service, with no sense of urgency. Very bizarre night we had here. We sat at our table for 25 minutes before we were greeted. I felt sympathy for our server because she was the only server for the entire 8-table rooftop, and was also in charge of making all of her table's drinks, on a Saturday night, during the summer, in a restaurant in a very popular vacation area. To do this efficiently would be difficult for even the most seasoned of servers. Any sort of acknowledgement or apology would have gone a really long way, though. My 1/2 Pound Snow Crab barely contained any meat because the legs were so thin. Thankfully, I got to eat some of my friend's Crab Cake Sandwich, which was tasty and I enjoyed the creamy homemade dill sauce it came with. I also loved the Sting Shooter oyster shot. The oyster was huge (almost too big!) and you get a souvenir shot glass. Hopefully, this was just a one-off night. Wishing better for this restaurant in the future!

Sting Ray's Seafood completely blew my mind with their portion sizes. Dana was my server and she did a great job making sure everything came out smoothly. I ordered the Ramsey Snow Crab boil for one and had to double check that it wasn't for two because the platter was huge. It came with three snow crab legs, about a pound of shrimp, a pound of sausage, plus potato and corn. There was no way I could have finished it all by myself. I also tried the crab fritters as an appetizer, which were like mini crab cake balls, and they were really good. The only negative aspect of my visit was the bathroom located inside the restaurant. While using it I stepped on a tile in front of the toilet that popped up and threw me off balance. It may be a little TMI for a restaurant review, but it is definitely a safety hazard. I really hope the restaurant gets this addressed promptly because I often travel with my elderly grandmother, and I can only imagine how dangerous that could be for her or anyone else.

Mahi dinner
Ree T.

The service here was fantastic. I arrived here for a birthday celebration before the rest of the group. I was given a table in the area that I preferred with stellar service. The drinks are strong and tasty. The food was hot and good. Everything is made to order. There are no food warmers so your food comes straight to you once prepared. It's a family friendly environment that is lively.

Seafood boil for 2!
Tishona S.

The steamed platter for 2 was perfect for my Mom and I to have. It was so delicious and seasoned perfectly!! We also had fried oysters- they were some of the best I have ever eaten!

Inside /bar
Julie F.

More like 4 1/2 stars! This was our second favorite restaurant on island. The place is quite casual with an upper and outside deck. Inside there is a bar and several low and high tables. We chose to sit in the air conditioning. The bar was full of folks eating and drinking. And the restaurant was quite busy but we got good and friendly service. I started with their "famous" crab stew. It was creamy and packed with crab meat. Very, very good. After that i had their softshell crab sandwich. It came with fries but I switched to red potatoes. There were two meaty lightly breaded soft shells on the roll. Done of the best I've had in a long time. My husband had the peel n eat shrimp. Served warm and buttery, there was a lot of shrimp in his half pound portion. He said they were great. We'd definitely recommend this restaurant. And I would go back in a heart beat for those soft shell crabs....

Steamed clams, no broth
Christen A.

Decided to visit Stingrays when I saw clams on the menu. I was expecting them to include a lemon and butter broth that typically has a splash of wine in it as well, but these were served dry, covered in some type of paprika based seasoning that overpowered the clams' delicate flavor. I asked for bread and received a hoagie roll and some type of liquid trying to assume the identity of drawn butter. The service was good and ambiance pleasant- and there are at least three cats ( one named Old Bay) but food was definitely disappointing.

Burger
Justin S.

Sadly I would stay shy of this place if you are visiting Tybee. We went here for dinner tonight on Tuesday and found out the rooftop dining is only open on Friday & Saturday. Oh well. We sat outside. The ambiance is... interesting, especially on the ground level where we sat directly adjacent to the sidewalk and busy road. Our server was nice, and got our drink and food order pretty quick. After our food was delivered, we did not see them until it was time for the check. Ok, onto the food. The food was disappointing at best. I got the cheeseburger (granted this is a seafood place) and expected better. It tasted like a boiled burger. Like one you get in high school at the cafeteria. They asked me how I wanted it cooked as well. The fries were those scrunched up ones you get frozen from the store. Not sure if they were frozen here, but they were alright. My partner got the snow crab and said it was alright. All in all, for the price (and if you're just dining and not sitting at the bar) - I would steer clear of this place. Many other places on the island where you can get much better food for a much better price.

Banana Jamma cocktail drink!

Anyone who rates this place anything less than 5 stars either had an off day or simply doesn't…read moreappreciate what great deli food is supposed to taste like. We were in Savannah for my cousin's bachelor party, and there were eight of us. Every meal, a different cousin got to pick where we ate. One afternoon, someone suggested Oakie's because it was close to Tybee Beach. The only thing I had asked all weekend was, "Let's make it a sit-down restaurant." As we pulled into the parking lot, I immediately realized this was a deli--walk up to the counter, order your food, and either take it to go or grab one of the small café-style tables. My cousin walked in first, I followed behind him, and he turned around and looked at me. I just shook my head and said, "Nope... there's nowhere for eight of us to sit. Let's go somewhere else." While everyone debated where to go next, one of my cousins said, "We're wasting time. Let's just grab food here and eat wherever." Best. Decision. We. Made. The. Entire. Trip. I ordered the Turkey Supreme, and while we waited we watched a steady stream of locals and visitors coming in and out. Eventually we all found places to sit and just decided to eat there. Three of us took our first bite, looked at each other, and almost at the same time said, "We're coming back here for breakfast tomorrow before we head home." And that's exactly what we did. We ate here twice in less than 24 hours and couldn't stop talking about how incredible the food was. Fresh ingredients, perfectly made sandwiches, generous portions, and everything was packed with flavor. Sometimes the simplest places end up serving the best food. Oakie's checks every box for what a neighborhood deli should be. Great food, friendly people, quick service, and consistently delicious meals. We've officially found our permanent breakfast, brunch, and lunch spot every time we visit Tybee Island. This place has earned customers for life.

So I've been dying to try Oakie's, as I live right down the road. I made time this morning during…read moremy morning meetings to come and get a coffee. I asked for a latte with light ice. I was given half a cup of coffee. I asked why the cup wasn't filled all the way. The cashier rudely said "it's because you asked for light ice". GIRL, BE SO FOR REAL. Go anywhere else, ask for light ice, and the cup is full. Also, just FYI, they don't have pup cups. I won't be going back and will definitely stick to my usual Tybean coffee.

So.... a rather slow Friday night. Sat at 8 ish. 15 minute wait for a server. Drinks came out…read moreright away but were so watered down that we though that it was the water we also ordered. Loaded fries came out fast. Chicken addition was 3 pieces of strip chicken (3 pieces, +$6). Tuna Poke bowl took an additional 10 minutes. No soy sauce or any sauce actually. Sorry, not a 4.5 star experience. 2 stars max. Won't be back.

I know this place has a very high rating but I'm sorry we didn't get that during our latest visit…read moreon 5-8-26. Yes, latest visit since we also visited June 2025, and gave that visit a 4 star. Let me say there were several issues during this visit. First, they didn't have a common beer available, claiming they ran out of Corona. Now it is a Friday night and you're going into the weekend without one of the most popular beers - just crazy. Next I ordered the Low Country Boil, well after a few minutes another person comes to me as says they have no potatoes for the meal and offered extra sausage to make up the meal. I accepted that. When my meal came out, the server now tells me they owe me 2 more pieces of corn and they would quickly bring that to me. Guess what - never got them. The two pieces I did get were cold - I mean not fully boiled/cooked. Icy cold inside. Now we were with several other couples and one couple had to ask for their drinks a second time. Fact is their meal came out before their first drinks. I have to also mention the men's rooms. I was clearly hadn't been checked or cleaned in a while. Now let's face it, it got screwed up due to nasty guests, but staff really need to check it every so often. Folks I visit Tybee twice a year and there are plenty of options on the island. I think the Zunibar has lost my future business, as well as the 3 other couples we were with. If you choose here you have been warned. I hope you have a better visit.

Don't let the outside fool you. It did me last year, but this year we went ahead and tried it…read more Sundae Cafe is wedged between a liquor store and a convenience store, this is apparently a thing on Tybee island. What you find inside is a nicely appointed restaurant with a beautiful long bar which we highly recommend you eat at. Our bartender Christy was amazing. But more about her later, right now I will talk about the food. We started with the margarita scallops, which was chunks of seared scallops soaked in margarita on toasted wonton chips with a black bean corn, salsa and drizzle with a local aioli, YUM! We also had their fried green tomatoes, which came with apricot horseradish sauce and aoli. Kiki had the catch of the day, which was a grilled piece of grouper atop mediterranean couscous and a medley of mediterranean vegetables. I had the prime rib, which came with lobster Chili Churri butter and a brandy peppercorn sauce. Both entrees were amazing. Now back to our bartender Christie. To say that she wears many hats is an understatement. She greeted us when we sat at the bar, by the way, did I mention that you can reserve seats at the bar? She described the menu items in a way that you only expect to find from a waiter in the finest restaurants in the world. She addressed any and all allergy issues relating to these dishes all the while she is making drinks for patrons at the bar as well as handling the service bar for all the patrons in the restaurant. Without missing a beat, she takes our order.Buses plates from other customers and continues to make drinks for everybody in the restaurant. At this point I think I told her her new nickname should be the Flash. At one point during our dinner, we saw her serve a bottle of wine to another couple at the end of the bar. Her presentation was that of a full wine sommelier with pouring a taste for approval while showing the label of the bottle as she waited for the customers approval then pouring the glasses after approval was given. List of hats: Bartender Bar Back Waiter Sommelier Entertainer Influencer to a new generation of food service, people on Tybee island. ( She babysat the owner of Bubba Gumbo's.) Lest I forget she is also the General Manager of the restaurant. She is someone that I would like to call friend after meeting her once and eating at her restaurant only once.
