Sausage,cheese &egg biscuits
Bobby B.

First of all this is a biscuit shop so if you wanted traditional breakfast this is not it . Not a keto friendly stop . This remind me of the hotel breakfast at holiday in on steroids. I had a sausage egg and cheese biscuit, it was ok the staff was real friendly. Place was clean and the assortment of bake goods was great. Quiet nice spot . I can tell this is a spot for regulars. Had that "cheers" vibe Norm !!!!!

Our trip to St Simons would not have been complete without a stop at Sweet Mamas. The food was delicious. A nice hearty biscuit complete with butter and the fixings started us off. The Pork pops are what drew us there and they did not disappoint!!! Really delicious!!! But the topper to it all was the sweets. The cheese danish was amazing and the sticky buns were so good we couldn't stop at one. . Very delightful place. We will be back!!!

Sweet Mama's is a St. Simons Island tradition. I was referred to this restaurant by one of my good friends whose wife's family is from St. Simons. The recommendation was spot-on because the food I tried was delicious. I visited on a Saturday morning and the restaurant received a steady stream of customers, mostly locals with a lot of take-out orders. The restaurant can be hard to find if you don't know where to look. It's in the Winn-Dixie shopping center and it faces away from the street, so you won't see the restaurant until you drive into the parking lot and explore a little. If the 1627 Frederica Road address doesn't work for you, try 98 Retreat Plaza. This is a simple, casual, no frills restaurant. There isn't much to speak of when it comes to atmosphere or ambiance. The interior amounts to a single office-like, strip mall space with a glass display case for baked goods and pastries, an ordering/food prep counter, and a bunch of easily movable small tables in the dining area. Sweet Mama's is only open for breakfast and lunch, Monday-Saturday, 6:45am to 2:30pm. The menu consists of sandwiches (breakfast and lunch), muffins, buns, danishes, doughnuts, bagels, cookies, and cakes. They also have salads, a soup of the day, and housemade chili. Expect to spend anywhere from $2.50 to $4.50 for most breakfast items and $6.50 to $9.50 for most lunch items. I had a "Meat, Cheese & Egg Biscuit" ($4.50) and some Pork Pops ($0.60 each). The meat, cheese, and egg biscuit consisted of a flaky biscuit with a round sausage patty, a thin slice of cheese, and a thick egg patty. The egg wasn't prepared in typical egg breakfast sandwich fashion. It looked steamed (or something). The sandwich was fresh, delicious, and filling. The sausage meat was savory and the egg was light and fluffy. The Pork Pops are a Sweet Mama's signature item. They are small, almost bite-sized pieces of bread, sausage, bacon, and cheese. I saw customers ordering this by the boat load. Well, maybe not boat load, but plate load. 12 pops here, 12 pops there. They were tasty and addictive. At one point, the kitchen ran out of pops. I noticed some of the foods were reheated in a microwave prior to serving. Service is, for the most part, efficient. You pick up your order at the counter no matter if dining in or taking out. If on St. Simons Island, I recommend this joint.

Sweet Mama's has great small town vibes. The sweets are tasty and look homemade. AMANDA WAS THE SWEETEST! She was so intentional with her service and deserves a raise;) pax et bonum

This place is one of St.Simons Island's hidden gems! Featuring a mix of seafood and American-style…read morecuisine with some southern flair, the food is quite delicious! I highly recommend their buffalo crab dip, a concoction that is a buffalo cheese dip served with fresh lump crab. You can really taste the crab in this dish. They don't skimp on it at all. The most clever thing that they did here, though, is to serve it with wonton chips. It's something that's truly unique, as most restaurants would serve a dish like this with regular chips. The wonton chips are a treat unto themselves, having great wonton flavor. However, when you combine it with the dip, it really takes it over the top. Highly recommend. For my entree, I had their Cajun Alfredo pasta. It is linguine served in a "Cajun-spiced Alfredo sauce". It is "served with tasso and smoked sausage", and you can choose to have it with either chicken or wild GA shrimp. In either case, once again, they do not skimp . You get a heaping portion of either chicken or shrimp, and the sauce is very tasty. It is just as described, an Alfredo sauce with a little Cajun flavor, though it is not spicy. It is served with no sides, but no sides are necessary as it is a hearty portion all by itself. Very delicious. The most impressive thing that I saw is that the owner is very hands-on. They have these new-fangled mobile electronic lamps, and the owner came by and noticed that ours wasn't quite working. He replaced it immediately himself. He was very friendly and chatted us up. He also went around and was serving and clearing tables himself. It seems that if you eat here, there's a strong possibility that you could end up meeting the owner! Meeting him was a very nice touch. The only thing that I had a hard time with here was choosing a dish because everything looked so good on the menu! Delicious food and great service. I strongly recommend this place!

The space looks great, and it was exciting to see them expanding into dinner service. I went in craving a good burger and ordered the Smashburger, upgrading to the truffle fries... and wow. Sooo good. The burger was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and everything you want from a smash-style burger. The truffle fries were absolutely worth the upgrade--crispy, indulgent, and hard to stop eating. Overall, a great first dinner experience post-renovation. We're excited to come back and try more of the dinner menu. Highly recommend checking it out!

Ornate, luxurious, top notch service, everything you'd expect from a Ritz property…read more Lobby bar - A beautiful living room for hanging out during the day. We arrived at the Ritz too late for dinner anywhere but the lobby bar. Enjoyed several sushi rolls with drinks, each one imaginative fresh and tasty. But some event had recently let out and the lobby bar got crowded and LOUD. I mean over 100db loud (measured). That's the equivalent of enjoying sushi while jackhammers are crushing concrete all around you. Whoa! Ocean front one bedroom suite - Plush, large, comfortable. Curtains blocked most light, but the bright morning sun still peeked in around the edges. Comfortable bed and plenty cold for good sleeping. Two huge TVs. While the only premium feed provided is Netflix, the cable box had been lowered behind the TV in the living room such that it was simple to plug in your own device. If this is by design, kudos to the Ritz. If this was accidental, we feel very fortunate. Awesome to have a second half bath, wish that was an option at more hotels. The main bath, very roomy, with a huge dressing area, was a little odd in that, while there was a door to the toilet, there was no door to the tub/shower. Not a big deal, as it was around a corner providing a little privacy, it's still a weak design decision. Huge balcony with ocean front views that go on forever. A few chairs and a table, but a bit under furnished. Still quite a treat for the view, breeze and privacy. Never even slightly tempted to leave the property during our stay. Over a 4 night stay, we visited nearly every bar and restaurant option, and never felt like we were having to "make do". Pool - the kiddie pool was closed for renovations, so children took over the main pool all day. If you're not a tolerant direct parent, you're not gonna get in that water, if you know what I mean. Overall the pool and chairs were pretty crowded, so almost worth the premium to have rented a cabana for 8-2 one day. Lots more room and comfort, both lounge chairs and couch seating, TV, snacks and drinks.

In our experience, hotels usually designate "dog friendly" rooms that are often in undesirable locations of the hotel. We did not feel that way here. There were dogs everywhere! Prob just as many dogs as kids!!! Check in was a bit rough...our room was not ready till about an hour after check in time. We were exhausted from a short night of sleep and delayed plane ride --just wanted to get to our room. We had to check on the status twice. Not what we expected!! The second person we talked to was very friendly and apologetic. They said they would comp us for the trouble by reducing the daily charge but I never saw this on my bill. This was disappointing. I was surprised they said they would do that so maybe they tried but weren't allowed. Who knows! The rooms were fine - nothing fancy and a bit outdated. Everything was very clean tho. And the beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed the nice coffee station and fire table on our patio. The restaurants they have are pretty good. We really enjoyed getting room service - much easier with our pup. We stopped by the gym to fill up our water bottles and they have a great water station and fruit bowls. All of the staff we interacted with were lovely and friendly. They were happy to give us tips about the area and recommendations too. The location is unbeatable- right on the beach. We enjoyed morning walks to see the sunrise. And it's close to Fernandina Beach which was such a charming area. We would def stay here again!!!!
