    Loaded Spinach Salad
    Chasiti P.

    Their portions are on the smaller side but this salad ended up being just the right amount for me. No leftovers to take home. We had a larger group, as we were celebrating a couple of birthdays, and the server was very attentive. Can't wait until it warms up and we can check out what they did to the outside area.

    Great service with highest quality and most authentic food on Tybee. The cocktails and drink choices are top notch. The location is a hidden gem with quiet ambience and cute outdoor patio it makes for a great ambience for a high quality dinner while on the island.

    Never got to eat there. Waited half an hour for service and left. I have nothing more to contribute.

    We've only eaten at The Kelpie a couple of times but we're very satisfied with the food and the service.

    Everyone was really friendly both nights I went…read more It was in the slow season so I was the only one that was in there around 9:30pm. I got my food to go and it really good. The wings are nice and big and the nachos are really good. It's walking distance from the admiral hotel and you can walk down to the beach. Honestly I would go back just because for the service.

    What's a summer vacay without a little daiquiri or three? It's been a long time since I've been to…read moreWet Willie's but when we saw that it wasn't far from our Airbnb, we decided to head on over. This Wet Willie's isn't far from the beach and sits on the little Tybee Island strip. There were two other parties sitting and eating when we entered, so we just fell in line at another table. Only two of us were drinking so we headed to the bar. The young guy helping us wasn't super helpful, to be honest lol he seemed a little annoyed that we were asking questions and digging into the menu. When we asked questions, he answered but I would have loved to hear his favorites or any sort of recommendations. I opted for a combo that was super ugly but it worked! I was surprised that they also had food on the menu. If they offered food at other Wet Willie's that I've visited, I do not remember lol. This menu included some classic favorites such as wings, tacos and quesadillas. We tried all of the above as well as their sliders. The food was actually good. Maybe not Michelin star ready, but tasty! I appreciated that a gentleman, (who I assume is the manager) came by each table checking in on us and our experience. That always takes an experience to another level for me, so appreciated!

    Guy Fieri would approve: Sea Wolf Tybee's Wagyu beef hot dog with "sea wolf" chili, microgreens,…read moreand a cilantro‑chorizo cream sauce was everything a gourmet dog should be--rich, layered, and totally worth the trip. Easily my best hot dog of 2026. The space is small and cool, and the staff makes you feel special. Our waiter and waitress were incredibly aware of every need, from refills to timing. If you like craft hot dogs with restaurant‑level execution, this place is a must‑try on Tybee.

    Do not get the coffee at Sea Wolf Tybee…read more In Sea Wolf's defense, our server told me as such. I ordered coffee, and he practically begged me not to. "Imagine Folgers... but worse," he said. I grew up on Eight O'Clock coffee--the only brand worse than Folgers-- so opted to brave the drip from Sea Wolf Tybee. How bad could it really be? Really bad. The Sea Wolf Tybee coffee was really, really, bad. The owners have made a deal with the barrier island devil where their successful establishment came at the expense of serving the worst coffee on earth. The coffee wasn't just bland, it was reeking with flavor, as if a tybee island horseshoe crab has been decaying in the coffee pot since the eatery was established in 2020. The server tried his hardest to prevent this 4-star review by warning me about the coffee, and in his defense the taste is not why I deducted Sea Wolf Tybee one star. I deducted one star because the vile 12oz cup of black drip coffee was $5 dollars. Like any diner at a lunch spot, I did not check the coffee's price before ordering it, assuming it'd be the standard $2-3 dollars. Even specialty coffee shops max their drip coffee prices at $4.50. Instead, Sea Wolf Tybee has opted to charge $5, rake-in a 95% profit margin, and exploit the trust of patrons who assume a cup of joe won't cost as much as Georgia's hourly minimum wage. I'm a former barista and coffee-lover, and $5 is the most expensive drip coffee I have ever encountered. Sea Wolf Tybee had outdone itself--the bill was more nauseating than the coffee.

    Farah turned what could have been a disappointing end to the night into one I'll remember for all…read morethe right reasons. Even though the kitchen was already closed, she went out of her way to make sure I was able to get something to eat. She didn't have to do that--it was simply an act of genuine kindness. Great bartenders don't just pour drinks; they make people feel welcome, cared for, and seen. Farah did exactly that. Her positive attitude, willingness to help, and exceptional customer service made all the difference. If you're lucky enough to have Farah taking care of you, you're in great hands. Thank you for going above and beyond!

    After checking into our hotel we decided to find a local bar or pub via Yelp that was within…read morewalking distance. This pub was about a 10 minute walk from the Residence Inn so not bad at all. We arrived a little after 9:30pm and the place was busy in the bar area but plenty of seating in the dining area. We were immediately greeted and able to secure a spot within 2-4 minutes of arriving. You can tell this is a place where visitors patronize but there are also locals who were familiar with the bartender and had history. The bartender was lively and said whatever you want to drink if I have the ingredients I can make it. Old speckled hen and tenets on tap but no other English beer options. More of a variety of Irish beers. If you are seeking your traditional fish and chips as my lovely partner was this is not the place as they do not have fries, anything battered or fried on the menu. We ordered a open faced pot roast sandwich to share and it was a generous portion, meat was tender, gravy was tasty but if expecting roast in the sense of carrots, onions, parsnips this was just meat and gravy. However, I truly enjoyed it and the mashed potatoes were not instant and very tasty and filling. We felt welcomed, cozy and they were thorough on ID's which I appreciated. If ever in the area again we would return as they stayed open until midnight.
