    Green goddess sandwich with onion rings
    Karen C.

    Ordered the Green Goddess sandwich with a side of onion rings and split it with my husband. It was very good! Loved the garlic aioli. The onion rings were good but would've been better if they were hot. There was live music and the place was very busy. Our server was great!

    Melty beef sandwich w onion rings  Blackened chicken salad with citrus vinaigrette

    The best onion rings I've ever eaten. I got the salad w blackened chicken and my husband got the melt beef sandwich. Food, service and atmosphere was 10/10!

    The food was very good and reasonably priced. They had live music, which is always a plus. Service was rushed and felt fake-friendly. You have to pass the kitchen and janitorial supplies to get to the bathroom which is unpleasant. Parking was easy to find on the street but you will need to walk a couple blocks, especially when crowded. In the future I'd prefer to do takeout for the good food and skip the dine-in. The dining room is small, tables were uncomfortable and everyone was looking at everyone else, which was weird. There is no focal place to rest your gaze. The stage is very undefined and unasthetic, and the bar is boring. The purple and green lights everywhere were not relaxing, such that I felt like I was in a haunted house! The cutesy cartoons and tongue-in-cheek "humor" on the menu is super lame. After dealing with sick narcissists in my life (who use innuendo in place of healthy communication because it's part of their manipulation), double-meaning of any kind is just toxic, not clever. And the wannabe-sexy cartoons are Epstein-creepy! Food made with love, decent band, but ambiance, service, and menu lore were awkward and not worth revisiting.

    Grilled cheese and garlic tomato soup

    So - IESS headed to a retirement party at a brew pub in old town Brunswick GA. Of course the the place didn't open til 4pm and I was there at 3pm. So, down the street was Tipay McSway's. Cute little joint in this artsy district of Brunswick. Let me start off with if I was just having drinks this would be a 5 star review. Eric (Erik) was an outstanding bartender and genuinely nice to everyone that came in. He remembered everyone's name, and was very timely on refills. I decided to get a bite to eat, since I hadn't eaten all day. The menu was diverse and had many southern comfort offerings with a twist. I ordered the grilled cheese and soup. The soup which was advertised as a garlic tomato basil and it was tasty but had a tad too much garlic for my tastebuds (and I like garlic!). The grilled cheese, although tasty as I believe the bread was soaked in butter had a very skimpy slice (Maybe a slice and a half) of American cheese. The bread was full and hearty, I would recommend cheese (2-3 slices), tomato, and bacon on that bread. Overall, a friendly place to stop for a afternoon outing. On a side note, looks like they have live music a couple of nights each week... very nice.

    We've been by Tipsy's several times but had not been able to stop and enjoy it. We DID TODAY!! Walked in and told to sit wherever made us happy, we chose right by front window on high top table. Waitress came over took drink order and we opted for nachos to start. We asked for only the half order because we were eye balling the lunch! We dove into menu and came up with the Tipsy burger and the smashed dog. Shortly after that our nachos came out. They were made with white queso and plenty of toppings and flavor on chicken. On the main.....the burger was HUGE AS WELL AS Smashed dog.. every bite was a party on our taste buds! Great job especially on smashed dog, on first site you aren't really sure where to start so our advice: DIG ON IN! Great service and food we ended with the brownie and that too was perfect! Great job y'all!

    Fried potato salad. Honestly not that great. It's mayo and mustard on fried potatoes.

Went for lunch with my wife and found Megan our server to be very nice & helpful with menu items. My wife had the Grouper Finger Basket w/fries. The fish was cooked nicely and the shoe string fries were tasty. Comes with both tartar & cocktail sauces. I had the Gyro w/Brussel sprouts including the Thai sauce & honey sauce for dipping the sprouts on Megan's recommendation . She also recommended the pasta salad which I will try next time. Megan was spot on with dipping the sprouts in both sauces! The Gyro I had was with lamb, tomato, lettuce & tzatziki sauce. The meat was hot & veggies w/sauce were cold and was fantastic! From the ambience standpoint there weren't a lot of folks at lunch time other than those playing cards or mahjong which was about 10 people. But, there is a large bar that is fully stocked, ample high top tables for eating or drinking etc. & quite a few pool tables & video game room. My only knock is no draft beer & they serve Pepsi products. Other than those 2 items, I will come back & try dinner time as I believe the vibe will have more energy.

Biggest issue was not getting a receipt and trying for 2 weeks to call and email to get it and no one being available for the 32 calls and no one responding to the email, and NOW I have to pay for the food out of my check instead of turning in a receipt which should have been a simple fix. Bubba's Fish Shack had better food, drinks and ambiance AND sent me the receipt while on the phone. Won't be back in any of my travels through there.

I actually ended up going there twice this week- once for lunch and once for dinner. For lunch I had their Bombay chicken salad where the chicken is curried and on top of a cabbage slaw with a bright citrus vinaigrette. 3 small pieces of flatbread accompanied the salad along with a Fruit chutney that tasted like apple pie. I ordered an additional side of flatbread which came warm and was quite good with the chutney. The curry chicken is outstanding so I was tempted to have it for dinner later that week but decided to try their Bahamian curry which was excellent- a bowl of rice with curried chicken, sweet potato and kale. My husband had the special which was Mahi mahi Marsala and he raved about it. If that is on the menu next time I will definitely get it. The restaurant knows how to spice their food so definitely check it out. They do not take reservations but turnover seems to be pretty quick particularly at lunch.
