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.

The fried chicken of course is scrumptious! However, grilled chicken sandwich sandwiches are good. You can bring your pet and sit outside and enjoy the beautiful weather or on the porch if it starts to rain! You go into order your food they give you a number and then the servers bring it out to you. The wait time is not long at all and you can enjoy all of the fun people there enjoying themselves also it's an experience. Only St Simons could have we've been several times and will continue to go and also take Friends.

This is our first time at Embers and my wife & I decided to do more an appetizer style type dinner. We had the wings which are duck drumettes, hogs in quilts (sausage dish in a pastry) then a pizza. We had the Gyro style pizza which was a specialty type pizza that evening. All the food was very good! We will be back again soon & try some entrees during our next visit. If visiting or live on SSI this is a very nice spot!

I found this spot when we weee staying nearby and looking for some biscuits and gravy…read more We were quickly seated and started looking over the menu. There were some great options which made choosing difficult, but we tried the biscuits and gravy (go ahead - get 2 biscuits!) and the fried chicken and biscuit. Both were great! The sandwich wasn't huge so it was a perfect amount for breakfast. We sat inside - it's very cute - with a market and to go as well as the tables. Food comes up fast and is really reasonably priced! The chicken was perfectly fried - not greasy - and the hot honey was a nice touch (and thankfully, not too hot). Good bathrooms and lots of tasty looking items in the refrigerated cases (including various types of seafood to cook).

I decided on a grits bowl . I was shocked at ghe size of the bowl when it was delivered a short while later. Huge is an understatement. The grits were well done, the bacon plentiful and lots of cheese. I could only finish about half of it. Really nice dish I will get again. There's not a lot of tables, and it would be hard for a large group but even if you have to wait for a table, it is worth the wait! I will return!

This is the greatest place ever. Highly recommend for gluten allergies. They are very efficient,…read morethey say your order will take longer cause they pull from a new batch of ingredients. Very informed. My only argument is that it is not listed anywhere that they have gluten free bread, I only knew cause of yelp. They have a large variety of bakery goods, and daily fun cookies. Eclair was out of this world. A lot of drink options, but was a little shocked to see a can of Colombe Coffee for $12, when they are usually $4!!! A lot of dad's cookies, gluten free options. They have a ton of fun unique gifts to look at while you wait. Including a ton of high end mah jong! Like $150 for pretty pink editions! Pool float! You name it, they probably have it!

The ladies names were Micheal or Micheala (we were loud LOL). The food was TOP TIER!!! I had the Salmon pasta and man oh man....

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.
