    Low boil
    Jessica M.

    Cute restaurant with nice views of the marina. The service was very friendly and attentive the entire time we were there. The food was really good and filling! We had the low boil as an appetizer , soups, shrimp and grits, catch of the day and shrimp and oyster. The drinks were a treat as we watched the sun set.

    View from our table.

    Great outdoor dining overlooking the pool and river. The food was excellent. I had the fried oysters and shrimp salad.

    Lunch at Zachary's Riverhouse was great! We ate on the upstairs deck with a view of the marina and waterfront. Our server was Lexi and she was quick to greet us and very pleasant. I ordered a custom margarita made with jalapeno tequila and peach nectar. It was so good! For our meal we had the fried oyster poboy with cheese grits and the fried shrimp with Lima beans and fries. The poboy was delicious and flavorful. The fried shrimp were good too. We enjoyed our lunch drinks and Zachary's Riverhouse was a great choice for us!

    Delicious shrimp- Cajun style

    We got there right before sunset & got a perfect view of it while eating our dinner. Kevin was an our waiter & did a great job. We really enjoyed the crab cakes!!

    Outdoor seating area/deck.  Pet friendly, too!

    Service was great, food was delicious, and atmosphere was so comfortable. I had the fish of the day - which was swordfish. Had it blackened with tomatoes and okra and cheese grits as my sides. It was really delicious!

    Oysters with Lima beans

    Food was absolutely some of the best I've had! I had the oysters with Lima beans. The oysters were fried to perfection; nice and tender with just the right amount of breading... not greasy at all. The Lima beans were hands down the best I've ever tasted ... better than my Grandma's even! My husband had the Shrimp and cheese grits with red potatoes (that were actually mine lol), and coleslaw. Talk about cheese grits...he looked like he had a taste of heaven when he took a bite. He said the shrimp along with the coleslaw and red potatoes were really good. Overall, the prices were reasonable with the quality and quantity of food that was served. The service was very good and the ambiance was on target giving you the feel of a being in an old coastal restaurant. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. Definitely will come again when visiting Jekyll Island.

    Blackened flounder platter

    Excellent service from several young ladies. Beautiful setting along the river. We ate on the back porch on a quiet afternoon overlooking the pool. We started with crab stew that tasted similar to clam chowder. I had shrimp and grits and my wife had the catch of day blackened. Overall the food was very good. We were so full we had our key lime pie to go. We would recommend but go early as parking is limited.

    Low key, simple local spot with good seafood, great service, and great views at sunset. Blackened mahi dinner was great. Love the hush puppies. The key lime pie is not your traditional FL style key lime pie-- it's more of a gelato/silky smooth ice cream in the shape of a pie but I enjoyed it! Could do without the lime green drizzle though.

    Our to go order for our pup who didn't get to join us. He enjoyed the chicken tenders, and we did too! We enjoyed the fries!

    We visited years ago and decided to revisit today. Their outdoor area is dog friendly. Our when we arrived, we were promptly seated. Our server was amazing! Friendly and very knowledgeable of the food. She had multiple tables but managed to keep our drinks filled and check on us throughout the meal. Food was hot. Portion sizes were generous, and everything we had tasted delicious.

    My best friend and I went on a girls trip away and wanted to do a fun restaurant with a water view for our dinner. Our hotel staff recommended Zachry's and it did not disappoint!! We had a nice table along the water facing the marina. We both tried two local brews, my girlfriend had the silver bluff IPA and I had the blueberry wheat. Both of them were fantastic. Loved the flavors! We split the low country boil and it was the perfect start to our Georgia weekend!!! We will absolutely be back during the day for an even better view!

Nice market with a good selection, but very pricey. Per many other reviews, my husband and I both had fried shrimp. It was excellent. He got the large platter and could barely eat it all. The regular platter was very plentiful. He got sweet potato fries as his side - excellent choice. I went wrong with my side - Mac n cheese. It was homemade and OK. To me it was like a very creamy and very cheesy Kraft with added pimentos. But to be honest , I make a killer southern mac n cheese and am pretty picky. So it is probably totally fine for most folks. We did have to wait quite a while for the food. We got there just 15 minutes before closing. There were a couple folks that had just ordered and were waiting. Then when I meandered through the whole store and came back twice to find it was still in process, I found out that someone had called in an huge order for 10-12 people just 15 minutes before closing. Amazing that people do things like that. Anyway, the staff was nice, patient, accommodating and doing the best they could. We weren't in a hurry. I just felt bad for them trying to get closed. Will definitely rely be back when we visit again.

I got on Yelp and saw some great reviews for a lot of restaurants in the area and the love shack did stand out to me. I walked around and looked at the cute shops and walked into a little market. Well, as it turns out that was the location of love shack barbecue! There was a very kind lady and a son or other family member in the back and she was so helpful in helping me select what to eat. I really just wanted some Brunswick stew and cornbread, but she advised if I got the shrimp platter that Brunswick stew came on the side and then I could have cornbread as well. I absolutely loved the Brunswick stew, it had all sorts of good vegetable vegetables in it, but was also very thick. The cornbread was so sweet and moist. The fried shrimp were solid, I couldn't finish them all just because they were very fried, but I enjoyed them. As I was waiting for my food to be prepared, (it only took about five minutes) I enjoyed walking around the little general store. It was everything from up stay up scale gift items to bakery to a grocery store where you could buy alcohol to a beach shop, it was a really great place. I took my meal to go and sat outside. The lady had advised not waiting too long or the shrimp would get soggy.

I've been coming here for 30 years and never have had a negative experience! If visiting or new to the island put this on the list you won't leave disappointed. Strongly encourage making reservations as they're always busy! That's a good thing!

Any fish over angel hair pasta is exceptional. Their blackened fish can be hit or miss... had the blackened grouper last week and it was good, but a little heavy on the seasoning, at the expense of being able to taste the fish. And the bread pudding, my god, the bread pudding. This is one of my all-time favorite desserts and I would put Crabdaddy's bread pudding up against any other restaurant on the island. Service is usually excellent, too. Easily in my top five restaurants on SSI.

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.
