I had elotes (street corn) and short rib quesadillas...short ribs are trendy, I think, now..."birria" (a short rib preparation that originated in Jalisco de Mexico) is very popular in Chicago and it seems like many Mexican restaurants are jumping on that trend. I like that trend! My sister and husband had veggie options (burrito and quesadillas) and their meals were just as great as mine. Service was professional and efficient, and the room is comfortable. Thanks very much for having non-alcoholic beer...just saying! We visit St Simon's often, and we'll add La Plancha to the regular restaurant rotation!

After bar hopping around St. Simons Island, we stopped by The Half Shell SSI for oysters. There was…read moreabout a 20-minute wait, so we walked a block up until our buzzer went off. I had a prosecco and ordered the blackened flounder special with mashed potatoes, broccoli, and mushrooms--everything was really good. The oysters from Tybee Island were fresh and hit the spot. Our waitress Jen was great, and we ended with a butter cake for dessert. We were celebrating a friend's birthday, and it was a solid experience overall. Definitely a place I'd come back to for a casual date night.

It was cold and windy so we wanted something warm but all they had was coffee. The decor is nautical but the place is smaller than I expected. I had oysters that were broiled in butter and lemon and garlic. They were ok....didn't come with a side but I got the bacon wrapped green beans and they were very good. We had onion rings that were huge and done well, My friend had fried shrimp and was pleased. We had " butter cake" with ice cream for dessert, it was ok. This is not in my top five on Ssi but I'm glad we tried it.

The reason I gave 4 stars, when we were seated the hostess did advise that she had a larger party she was currently assisting and was settling the tab but after 15 minutes of no attention I had to go to the bar and order a pitcher of margaritas. Which was very good. My complaint is that when we're seated the salsa & chips should have been provided and a drink order should have been asked for. Neither of these items were put into action until I went to the bar. Again, that was my only issue as the food, drink (when received) and atmosphere was fun!

The ambiance proved this is where the locals go. My husband got the lengua, tripe and buche tacos on corn tortillas. He said they were better than his favorite place in Lilburn, GA. I had a grilled fish taco and a birria taco. Both were excellent. The "serve-yourself" salsa bar was nice for pickled onions, pickled jalapenos, chopped white onion and cilantro, radish slices, and all the salsas you can imagine. Highly recommend.

Nothing wrong with this, it just caught me a little off guard. They boast an excellent selection of craft beer as well as a really fancy cocktail/mix drink list. The service was rock solid and didn't falter when it started getting busier. We ended up eating there too and consensus on the food was "thumbs up". It's a nice a place to hang out get and drink and eat some food. I'd be happy to dip back in the next time I'm in the area.
