    Roasted Oysters

    I don't even know where to begin about this place! We came here on my fiancés birthday. We ordered fried shrimp with crispy okra, roasted oysters and a blue crab roll. Everything was so so so good and so fresh. If I could give this place 50 stars I would. The flowers everywhere were beautiful and it's perfectly placed on a quiet place on the water, with a great view of incoming military helicopters. We came back twice while in town, if it were up to me I probably would have come back daily. Everyone there was also very nice and made great suggestions for our food.

    The food was superb and the atmosphere was great. Amazing views of the water. I really enjoyed the fried okra.

    Delicious food & drinks! Lowkey place during the day :) good vibes- casual & comfortable. You order at window and they bring you out food & drinks

    Favorite casual spot in Savannah that is dog friendly!! All outdoor seating on a deck along the water. Order first at the counter then grab a number. It was the middle of the day so we were just there for a snack but I definitely want to return for lunch so I can order more items. We got the she crab soup and grilled oysters and both were amazing. Seasoning on point and everything was fresh and flavorful. Highly recommend.

    If you're looking for the perfect mix of laid-back vibes and fresh coastal flavors, Wyld Dock Bar is the spot. They deliver the backyard, friend with a dock atmosphere that you didn't know that you needed... or maybe that's exactly what you're looking for! Drink Highlights: The Sangria - Fruity and refreshing The Paloma - Citrusy but missing it's brightness Food Highlights: Oysters Wyld - Fresh, briny, and topped just right. I wanted more Ceviche - Light, zesty, and full of flavor Crispy Local Shrimp - Golden, crunchy perfection. I needed more Crab Roll - Soft, buttery bun packed with crab Crispy Rock Shrimp Tacos - A must-try with the perfect crunch! Hear me out, throw out the ketchup! Don't even look for it. You don't want that on their perfectly cooked fries. Use their house made horseradish tarter sauce as your dip of choice. Whether you're coming for the food, the drinks, or just the view and atmosphere -- Wyld is the kind of spot that keeps you coming back. IG: @thewylddockbar

    What to say that isn't good about this place? I'm from SoCal & was so excited for some good food while visiting GA. And this place did not disappoint: everything from the okra, to the tacos, to the rolls, wow: amazing! The servers and cashier were very very nice, and never rushed us. They were very helpful in guiding me what to order! The view is awesome here right by the dock: definitely a place to come to for that "southern" feel by the water! Honestly would come here more often if I was local! Highly recommend coming here!

    The scenery here is breathtaking and very peaceful! My son and I were recommended we come to this place for that reason. I wasn't really sure what to expect food wise. One thing that's different here i wasn't use to was that they wipe your card before you order and they dont close our your tap until you leave. My son ordered a cheese burger and fries. I had a shrimp roll and fries w/ bar drink. I dont remember the name of it. But it wasn't my favorite. The Shrimp roll had a very odd flavor to it. I wasn't a fan of. I would give it a 5 /10. My son loved the cheese burger he said it was one of the best he had. I will say for price I paid for everything the food wasn't worth it.

    You drive to the end of a residential area and the restaurant parking lot is in front of you. The place reminded us of our travels of seafood restaurants in New England. A little different service set up. As you walk in you are directed to a place to order your food and drinks. No sit down service. We ordered and got a number and proceeded to the deck with tables. They are under shade and they have fans throughout. We had our two beers to the table quickly followed by our food. We split fried clams, shrimp platter, and fried okra. The clams were fried perfectly and quite tasty. A perfect size to share. The fried shrimp and fries were also good. We got a good serving of shrimp and seasoned fries. The okra was ok. I like more of a batter on my okra. Once done you return to where you ordered and pay. Eating by the water was nice.

    I recently saw a Tik Tok video about this hidden gem and I knew I had to try it. Initially, the greeting we received wasn't very friendly or welcoming but after speaking with other staff members who were more helpful it got better. It's a bit confusing as a first timer because you pay for your drinks and food up front at a "concession stand" type location and then the server brings your items out. Otherwise no one comes around asking what you need or want. But everything we had was so delicious and the seafood was so fresh. The drinks were even a hit. You can't forget about the gorgeous views, I was able to take some amazing pictures. I will definitely be back!

    Went here with my daughter and her family. Love the setting. It's on the water and the raised planters were a nice touch. The food was ok. My apple goat cheese salad was really small and lacked any goat cheese flavor. The shrimp dishes we had were fresh shrimp. Tasty! They were very busy but the service was ok. Would consider revisiting if in the area.

    Fish tacos.

    Food was good but service was sketchy. I had friends in front of me and behind me who ordered and got their food and I had to wait an additional 15 minutes or so to get mine. Was it because I was the only person or color there, I don't know, but it did take my white friend asking about my food for it be brought to me. So you come to your own conclusion.

    Sunday fried chicken in a converted gas station five miles outside Savannah, with oysters that I'm…read morestill thinking about three days later. That's the short version. Here's the longer one. Erica Davis Lowcountry sits on Victory Drive in Thunderbolt -- a town so small it has exactly one square mile of land and a name borrowed from a lightning strike that supposedly split open a freshwater spring on the Wilmington River bluff. The restaurant itself has a similar origin story: a long-shuttered seafood spot called Teeple's, left empty for years, brought back to life by Erica and Dwight Davis with real care. The gaslight sconces out front stayed. So did the bones of the building. The garage doors open when the weather cooperates. We came in late on a Friday, catching the final stretch of their brunch service. Hannah (I believe) was our server -- in training, which you wouldn't have guessed. She steered us well and managed the table (and the room) with a confidence that didn't feel performed. We started with the Barbecue Shrimp and the Oysters Rockefeller. The barbecue shrimp -- Georgia shrimp in a spiced, rich sauce served with toasts -- was good but the one I'd skip on a return visit. The Oysters Rockefeller are the opposite story: roasted, finished with creamed collards and parmesan, and genuinely one of the better bites I've had in recent memory. Order them. My husband had the Wassaw Redfish -- pan-seared over stone-ground grits with garlic beurre blanc and heirloom tomato. Clean, confident cooking. I had the Sunday fried chicken, which delivered exactly what that dish promises when it's done right. Sides of fresh green beans, South Georgia collards, and Erica's Famous Coleslaw held their own across the board. Dessert was the Key Lime Pie, served in a cup that does not prepare you for how good it is. Tart and creamy in the right proportion. We didn't leave any behind. The family's seafood history in Savannah goes back to 1946. You can feel that kind of depth in a kitchen -- not in any one dramatic bite, but in the steadiness of it all.

    Visited Erica Davis Lowcountry while in Savannah after hearing plenty of positive reviews. The…read morerestaurant has a nice atmosphere, and the staff was friendly, although our food took a bit longer than expected to arrive. I ordered the Lowcountry Boil, which comes with shrimp, corn, potatoes, and sausage. The sausage and potatoes were good, and the seasoning was decent, but I was underwhelmed overall, especially considering the price. The shrimp didn't seem particularly fresh and had some white spots and discoloration that gave me the impression they may have been frozen for quite a while. As a result, the dish didn't quite live up to the hype for me. My wife ordered the Wassaw Redfish, which was recommended by our server, and that ended up being the standout dish of the meal. The redfish was cooked well, the garlic beurre blanc sauce was rich without being overwhelming, and the grits were creamy and flavorful. The shrimp and green beans complemented the dish nicely. Overall, the experience was mixed. The atmosphere was pleasant, and my wife's entrée was very good, but the Lowcountry Boil fell short of expectations. I'd consider coming back to try some of their other menu items, but based on this visit, I wouldn't order the boil again.

Local artwork on the walls gave the place a nice community feel, the staff was warm and welcoming, and the restrooms were clean--which always earns bonus points.

You can sit inside and have a cute view at the booth ir your can sit outside in a little balcony type. Very surfer aesthetic! Pricing was okay too. We had 3 people and each of us had our own entre along with the 2 appetizer and it came out to be about $36 eqch with tips. I had the salmon blt and it could use a little bit more seasoning but it it was cooked just right! The home made chips were absolutely to die for because it was so delicious! Not salty at all and perfect crisp at every bite! We also got fried tomato and it was topped with I believe, goat cheese and it was so crispy and delicious, I do with it has a bit more seasoning on it but we paired it with the crab dip and it was perfect to the taste!
