Our server Katie was absolutely wonderful! She was so sweet and attentive. She made sure we had everything we needed and provided excellent service with a genuine smile. We truly appreciated her kindness and would be happy to have her serve us again! read more

We stopped by Sunrise Grille for a quick meeting while exploring Jekyll Island, and honestly, this place was such a cute little island find! The atmosphere is super laid-back and casual--exactly the kind of spot where you can kick back, enjoy a drink, and not feel rushed. It definitely has that local-favorite feel, and I can totally see why it stays popular with both locals and visitors. I ordered a margarita to sip on while we chatted, along with the hush puppies and fried shrimp. Everything was really good! The shrimp was delicious, the hush puppies were the perfect little Southern bite, and the margarita was a fun way to make our quick meeting feel a little more like vacation. I also loved the overall vibe here. It's casual, comfortable, and very Jekyll Island--nothing overly fancy or pretentious, just good food, drinks, and a relaxed atmosphere. read more

This was my least favorite meal of the trip. The shrimp and grits was not traditional or well made- it was fairly bland and not great. The other food was fine but nothing special, though this place is a good 20% more expensive than the rest in the little village area for what they're offering. The kids meals are a rip off. $11 for a tiny cup of Mac and cheese is a joke. I'd skip this one in favor of the numerous other options just steps away- note that they also do not have their own bathroom, you have to walk around the complex to get to it. read more

Popped in here for a snack, very cool, laid back vibe. Maddie was a fabulous bartender and gave great advice about the island. My husband and I shared the Crab cake Sandwich and fries. It was so fresh and delicious. We will definitely try it again next visit to Jekyll. The dinner menu is a little different than lunch, great prices on both. We were so hungry, I forgot to take a pic of the food! lol It paired great with a nice cold Mango Kart beer. read more

We were craving crab legs and Sunrise Grill met that craving with a bang! Cute little restaurant in the beach village. My daughter said it was her favorite! Great service even towards of the end of the night. We also had the blackened shrimp, by far the best shrimp we had the entire time on the island (or nearby islands)! read more

This is a sweet little place to go to for breakfast while was there conference. The food was hot. It came out quickly. The staff was so friendly. It was clean. The only thing I wish is they had real milk or real creamer for the coffee and not the little individual creamers. You also can sit outside. I'd go back again and again it was lovely. read more

Casual and relaxed with fresh seafood... what more can you want beachside? We found this spot online and detoured to get here on the trip home from Savannah. It was our first time on the island;and, but it won't be our last. We found this restaurant and the seafood was swimming in the morning and on our plate for a late lunch. That's fresh! I had the local catch and it was flaky, juicy and perfectly blackened on my sandwich. My wife had the mahi sandwich, also blackened. The fish was moist and the rolls fresh. Both sandwiches were accompanied with seasoned fries that were done just right - crispy on the outside and tender inside. The drinks were done right and the rum punch a good seaside choice. The staff was friendly and entertaining in their own way... made us outsiders feel very welcome on this small seaside gem. read more

There are limited options on the island so we opted to try this place wanting something cheap. We got seated right away on a Saturday for lunch. Both indoor and outdoor seats are available. My table tried a few items on their basic menu including Cesar salad with fried shrimp, Mahi fish salad, onion ring, calamari with Asian sauce on side, hamburger with side salad. The onion rings were thick and well fried. Calamari was also crisp since we ordered the sweet chili sauce on the side which I highly recommend. Unsure of how much the kitchen would over or under cook the burger, I ordered mine medium well hoping it would be medium. But it seems as they did more well done which was disappointing. Overall, the dishes were simple and also simply prepared. Prices were higher than we had hoped for but the portion size was fair. Service was nice and the food was brought out in an appropriate speed. Not sure I would go out of my way to return here should I return. read more

My favorite lunch spot on Jekyll Island never disappoints! The Paradise Island salad with grilled shrimp was excellent. Plentiful ingredients, not just a bowl of lettuce, were fresh and tasty. The house dressing is delicious! Fish of the day (trigger) sandwich blackened was well- seasoned and a generous portion. The sandwich's accompanying fries were hot and crispy. The cool temperature inside was a welcome respite from the late summer heat outside. Our server Jessie was attentive and friendly. All in all, a fantastic lunch experience! read more

Excellent breakfast. I had the French toast & my husband had eggs, home fries & sausage. The day we were there, they were getting their a/c fixed, but you would almost not know it! A few tables inside were moved to make it easier for the workmen. Service went on without a hitch & staff worked around the repairmen with ease, humor & always with a smile. We will definitely be back to try lunch & dinner! Great job all! read more

Breakfast is excellent, with great service and food---but do not go there for dinner. Service was good but food was horrible. We ordered crab cakes (menu said made daily) for me and Philly Cheesesteak sandwich for my husband. Honestly, they both were so bad we just could not eat it. We asked for check and left. read more

REVISED TO ONE STAR came back to eat here TWICE in the same day just for the kitchen, wait staff, and host to go inside and debate whether they were gonna serve us and kitchen was closed. close at 9:00, walked up at 8:25. not a good look and won't be back for this reason. at food every time and very reasonably priced! love the hush puppies so much! read more

Small restaurant but fantastic food and service! We had fried shrimp, crab cake sandwich, & red drum blackened sandwiches. The fish was the absolute best fish sandwich I've ever had. Crab cake was as big as a burger. Their house-made remoulade sauce is amazing. I would eat here all the time if I were a local. We will definitely be back when in the area! read more

I saw at the bar for a quick lunch. Ordered a slaw dog with Mac and an ordered of GA wild shrimp fried with their cheese grits. Needed a hotdog after the seafood I've been eating on the island. I'll just say the service at the bar was fantastic and the fried shrimp was arguably the best I've had in my life. The seasoning they used is spectacular. This will definitely be on my list when I come back to the island. I'm telling, get the fried shrimp! Can't believe this place has a 3.9 star rating. read more

Phenomenal food and service. Slaw dog had so much flavor. Mac and cheese is great. Fish sandwich was good with the fries and I neeeeed to figure out the recipe for the remoulade sauce. GET THE KEYLIME PIE! Will be back for breakfast. Shout out to JD being a super waiter. read more

Yesterday the 3 of us went to eat breakfast here. 2 received their food within about 15 minutes and the other one didn't receive their food until 15 minutes later. The first two had already eaten so they had to wait on the last person to eat. This place needs to make sure that everyone had a table receives their food at same time. read more

They have definitely went up in price. I am pretty sure french fries haven't went up that much. A side of fries is $5.29 I believe. So I was expecting a decent size. They also charge a 20% to go fee for "utensils and condiments". This is a money hungry business and the guy at the bar is rude and unpleasant. Hopefully they read the comments and do better. read more

I ordered the French toast with bacon and cheese grits, paired with sweet tea, and everything was absolutely delicious. The food came out fresh, hot, and full of flavor, with generous yet reasonable portions. The staff were upbeat, professional, and kept great energy even though the restaurant stayed packed all morning. We sat outside and enjoyed a nice breeze, which made the experience even better. The restaurant is easy to find; it's located at the end of the building on the left when you enter the shopping center. The breakfast menu is simple to follow with plenty of great options, and the prices are very affordable. Because it's so popular, we waited about 30 minutes, but it was worth every minute. We enjoyed talking with one another and even chatting with others while we waited. The best part of the visit was definitely the combination of delicious food and quality family time. Everyone left happy and satisfied! read more

Okay Food - Beware of Hidden Charges. READ YOUR BILL! So, the food is okay. It's basic diner food. The prices what you would anticipate on an island with limited option... inflated. You know, supply and demand. What I did not appreciate were the hidden charges that are NOT disclosed... such as the 3% credit card fee and the 20% "Service Charge." They then seek a tip BEYOND those built-in fees. Don't fall for it. Read your bill before tipping. read more

Sunrise Grill - READ YOUR BILL. They hit you with hidden charges, like a 3% credit card fee and a 20% "Service Charge!" Then they still ask for a tip. - Bars Near Me - Jekyll Island, Georgia

We called for a pickup order - a shrimp poboy and a fish sandwich, each at $15, and hushpuppies at $7 per their online menu. When I arrived they said the order was $60. The price I was changed for the sandwiches were $18 and $19 and $7.50 for the hushpuppies, THEN I was charged a 20% service fee that wasn't mentioned on the phone. (Nor did they mention the price difference.) I get that it's a tourist trap, but beware false advertising. Definitely wasn't worth $18 and $19 for sandwiches. read more

Ordered the fish of the day (red drum) as a takeout for dinner one night. It was fine but I wouldn't order it again. Service was great! I stepped out to take a call and the bartender brought my food out to me so it didn't get cold. read more

I walked to this place from hotel for breakfast. They have both indoor and outdoor dining. It's very popular so you may have to wait for a seat. Service was fast and friendly, Best Mimosas on the island. Really enjoyed my French toast with bacon. They gave me my beverage to go for my walk back along the beach. They have a nice selection of liquor so good for a cocktail at lunch & dinner. read more

The only decently reviewed breakfast place in the promenade area of Jekyll, and they are CLOSED from 10-11 am. Who has breakfast at 10 am on vacation?! The area certainly needs a brunch restaurant. read more

We visited last night. Food was fantastic. Wife ordered the shrimp platter and I got the mahi-mahi. Both were blackened. The seasoning and flavor were great. Shrimp cooked perfect. The service was ok. Think the girl forgot about us. She may have been knew. Seemed like 3 servers shared the outside and confused them. The patio atmosphere was great, weather is nice. Definitely would go back! read more

Food was great & service was fast. We went in February in the middle of the week so I'm sure during busy season there may be a longer wait. Outdoor seating available!

Great food and great service. A little pricey but that's to be expected in a high end area like Jekyll Island. It does coast $10 to get on the island but there are some great beaches and great restaurants like Sunrise Grill...oh, try the hush puppies...didn't get a pic because we ate them so fast! The shrimp po-boy was overflowing with shrimp and slaw. Was delicious and the key lime pie was the !! read more

We were able to get in for breakfast Sunday morning we enjoyed sitting outside We were sat immediately and our waiter was over quickly but not rushing us which is nice we enjoyed our coffee, iced tea, as well as the breakfast sandwich with home fries Just enough food read more

I really like this place, especially because I can get a half order of the most delicious biscuits and gravy, served with a friendly face and great service. I liked the breakfast potatoes, the grits were a bit bland. But this is everything a breakfast Cafe should be and look like. Next year we will be back! read more

Great food, much less expensive than at our hotel. All we wanted was a good breakfast sandwich and came back the next day for another one! Lots of families. Busy but once you get in they serve you quickly. Note that when they close for breakfast service they mean it. Saw several folks sauntering in 5 minutes late and they were disappointed. read more

My party of 7 visited on for breakfast on a Sunday morning and was seated right away. We opted for outdoor seating. I ordered the steak and eggs with avocado and a side of fruits.

Disappointed! Everything way too salty!! I couldn't even eat the coleslaw. Thank God the napkins were free. Had to use a bunch to wipe off all the salt from my surf and turf. Dressing for the side salad horrid! We have been coming to Jekyll Island for years and 2025 seems to be the year the Island business's don't care. Food has been mediocre and retailers not customer oriented. We love the island, and come 1 to 2 times a year. That may change. read more

Would give 0 stars if this was an option. Decided to dine here and needed to wait about 5 minutes for them to open. I wanted to sit on a shaded outdoor seat until they opened. The "hostess" barked at me I could NOT sit until they opened. Her manner was completely inexcusable. Walked to the wee pub and waited for them to open instead. read more

Great staff and good food. Serving is quick and coffee is hot. Always have a table available.

Nothing outstanding, but a good place to get an easy meal. Indoor and outdoor seating.

So disappointed! I'm sure the health department would not accept a restaurant worker handling food or utensils while feeding a dog kibbles. And management did nothing to correct it. It's disgusting!! read more
