We are new to the area and someone made a suggestion to check out Zuzu's in the downtown village area of Saint Simons Island. This was an absolute home run if you like hamburgers. they also have cold beverages, ice cream, and many other food options but if you are the least bit hungry and looking for great lunch option, we highly recommend Zuzu's Restaurant. Great food. Great service, and wonderful island charm. The owner is hands-on and will make you feel right at home as soon as you went into the door.. read more

Carla and I were browsing the Internet looking for just a place to grab a bite, not a meal. Ya ever have evening like that? We came across a place near the pier that we had seen before but never tried. A small Bistro called "Zuzu's". First time WONT b the last time I assure you! Small quaint diner, metal tables and chairs, nothing fancy except the FOOD! The burgers"named Take 5" were incredible. Hand made O'rings And sweet potato fries. Service was prompt as 1 waitress could b, they filled up just after we came. Oldsters, youngsters, you name it , she got busier than a one-armed paper hanger! The old 5 & dime concept all the way down to milkshakes as well . Don't b fooled by the hype nor the look, this place is the real deal! We will return. Rusty read more

Zuzu's - Blackened Bleu Burger - American Near Me - St. Simons, Georgia

Love, love Zuzu's! Best hamburger on the island! Go there almost once a week. Recommend highly.

I would give ZUZU's 5 stars except I couldn't contact them by phone or online. They also do not have d a current menu available anywhere. The good news is their food, (especially burgers), is great. Generous proportions cooked exactly right on tasty buns. The sweet potato fries are done exactly right. They now have a liquor license and offer happy hour specials. Check them out. Victor & Christy are doing right by our Pier Village! They are what St Simons pier ought to be. read more

Awful. Terrible. Go somewhere else. Ordered grilled shrimp and got fried shrimp. Owner/waiter rolled his eyes when I brought this to his attention. One in our party had dairy allergy and mentioned it when ordering, mayo top bun, and bottom bun. After another eye roll, changed top bun but still had mayo on bottom bun. Must have dumped a bottle of cumin on it. Place dirty. The night before owner/waiter was sitting in booth resting his hairy leg on the table. Not going back until it changes hands. Place used to be great. read more

Take 5 Burger w/ fries: 9/10 A hole in the wall spot on the pier of SSI that has one of the best burgers!! Most people stop in for their amazing ice cream, but their food is just as delicious. It's a tiny little place with a few booths and tables with quick in and out service. The burger is freshly cooked and simply amazing. You can taste the flavor and freshness of it. I only took off a point because the bun could be a little better quality. Their specialty burgers are only $13 and come with your choice of sweet potato/regular fries, coleslaw, chips, or onion rings. The price of the burger for the portion and taste is a steal in my opinion!! If you're on the island looking for something very casual, great price, and will have yummy dessert after....Zuzu's is the place to go!! read more

The restaurant was busy, but we got a table for 4 easily. We got our drinks within an approximate amount of time and then gave our orders. 4 hamburgers which took forever and were cold when they arrived. And were over cooked. The new management isn't doing the restaurant anything good. And no Brussels sprouts! May not go back. read more

Located in the Village area of St.Simons this restaurant is a basic appointed establishment but the burger they serve is very good. My wife had the cheese burger & I had a plain burger and both had lettuce tomato & onion with ketchup & mayo. The burger is a 1/2 lb piece of meat and was cooked to a med-well temperature and was still juicy! The fries were ok as they were a bit limp-soggy but were tasty as they had the skins on the outside. Cole slaw is vinegar base and finely shredded and is tasty. Our serving was not wet as some can be at several BBQ style restaurants but was tasty and still moist. The service was quick and food was served in about 15 minutes from ordering. If in the village area it is a good spot to grab a good meal at a decent price. Our meal with tip was $33. Enjoy! read more

I stopped by Zuzu's for ice cream on my way to the pier. It's a local fave that was recommended by many. Know that's it's an older establishment (and it shows signs of old age) that likely holds lots of fun memories. It has that local diner feel that made it a bit more fun for me. They had about a dozen choices of hand-dipped ice creams. I got butter pecan in a waffle cone and it was delicious! I didn't order food but the place was packed with people eating delicious looking meals (burgers, sandwiches, etc.) read more

Cute place. We selected this place to eat based upon good reviews. We asked for our burgers to be cooked medium rare. They both came out well done. We did inform the wait person after 2 bites. She asked if we wanted the burgers to be redone. Took quite long to be done the first time and as we were so hungry, we said no. Overall, the flavors of the addons were very good. Just would have preferred meat cooked correctly. They did give us a 25% discount on the check so that was appreciated. read more

Recommend the Trio Salad which includes generous scoops of their homemade chicken salad, tuna salad and egg salad along with greens and choice of dressing. It could have used just a bit more greens in my opinion. Overall the salad was pretty good and didn't even need any dressing. The wings were good too! Location: Mallery Street just steps away from the pier. read more

Food is consistently good, service is perfect. This place is the go to for burgers in SSI!

Well, our St. Simons Island culinary luck continues. Still not a bad meal on the island. Last night we decided to try a local "dive", Zuzu's. It is in the pier district in the heart of St. Simons Island. The interior is eclectic and the floors worn from decades of sanded feet. I really didn't have high expectations. The wife ordered a salad and I chose a hamburger all the way with sweet potato fries. Our server brought our sweet teas promptly and things started to really look up. Oh my gosh, my burger was truly phenomenal. No exaggeration, it tasted just like a homemade burger. And the sweet potato fries were delicious. They also have ice cream but we were too full to try any. If you are looking for a simple home style burger, Zuzu's is the place on St. Simons Island. read more

This place has always been a favorite but it's just recently replaced all staff/management. Went in on a weekday at noon. It was full and they were also doing phone in/pick up orders. They could not keep up at all. Several parties left because the wait was so long. They looked so disorganized and when the food finally came out, while the burgers tasted fine the cheese on them was wrong and the fries were undercooked. Either train your employees properly or hire people who know what they're doing! read more

We tried this spot for the very first time today. Our favorite, Sandcastle Cafe just next door, was a little full and had stopped the breakfast buffet. We had a 45 minute wait there so we went to Zuzu's. We were pleased they were able to accommodate us. They were short-staffed but served us beautifully. The waitress was very accommodating. They do charge automatic 18% gratuity for parties of 5 and up. Parking is ample outside along the pier. The food was delicious, cooked-to-order, and hot. I loved the double cheeseburger. It reminded me of the ones my Dad used to make when we were growing up. The ambience here is very diner/dive-like. They are not fancy, but the food is very good and fulfilling. I didn't see any desserts on the menu. Give them a shot on your next trip to St. Simon's. read more

If you don't care about hygiene, this is your spot... tables are sticky, seats have crumbs, and the cooks do not wear hairnets. We only came here for lunch because lines were longer at other restaurants. We ordered the Double Cheeseburger with Hand Cut Fries, the Cuban sandwich with Onion Rings, and Lemonade. The Lemonade was freshly squeezed and the Cuban sandwich was decent, but it came with only five semi-tasty, non-crispy Onion Rings. As for the Double Cheeseburger, the flavoring was good, but the patties were so thick that the juice spills out and turns the buns into a mushy mess. Taste overall was 4/5 for the burger. Experience was 3/5, mainly due to our waitress - she was super sweet! read more

Great burgers, cooked to order. Service is prompt. Prices are fair. What more is there to say?

Good food. service was ok.... Nothing bad or good to say. Love being close to the pier! Will be back!!

Best burger ever! It's best for takeout as the restaurant is a hole in the wall and needs a serious deep cleaning. One of the main (meaning there every time I'm there) employees (maybe owners) is very friendly and the other is more no nonsense, not rude but not overly friendly. We order takeout from them once a week. Highly recommend. read more

Delicious! Options include favorite classics, sometimes with a twist, alomg with incredible southern style options. The red velvet cake was incredible, with lots of huge chunks of gushy chewy cake. I want to go back for the blackberry cobbler ice cream (or maybe it was blackberry shortcake). As soon as possible. read more

Great burgers! Chicken Salad sandwich on grilled wheat bread. Great price and fresh product.

Great food. Laid back casual atmosphere. Fast service. Wanted to try everything. Burgers are juicy... fries are fresh cut.

The food was just ok. The portions were small for the price. The drinks cost $3 to $4 and they packed them full of ice, so you barely got any drink. They also didn't tell us that the lemonade refill wasn't free. The service wasn't great, maybe they were having a bad day, but seemed kind of annoyed and didn't come to check on us or ask if we wanted or needed anything. read more

Fantastic burger, onion rings and fries. Service was fast and friendly. Would definitely return next visit to the area

Don't waste your time or money with Zuzu's. I've heard from many friends that this is a great place to eat, must have been in the past. Instead, head to Frostys. Great food and even better service I called for a takeout order since I had my dog with me. The employee seemed very disengaged and sounded like he wanted to end the call. Not helpful with the ordering process. No total and no time frame. When I arrived to pick it up, he charged me twice for an order. When I mentioned that wasn't correct, he proceeds to argue with me and make a big deal about it. When my ordered finished, they let it sit on the counter for a bit before calling my order. He seemed very distracted flirting and working a deal with some 16 year old girls over ice cream. I also wanted to point out that not one employee had a mask or wore gloves. They touched everything with their bare hands. I guess COVID prevention doesn't pertain to them. When I looked at the food, before tossing, the onion rings were undercooked. read more

We were shopping and needed a place to rest, and the sidewalk tables and chairs called to us, so this is where we ended up. We sat outside and loved the ocean breeze, it rea was a nice touch as we chatted and people watched! We only had drinks, beer and wine, and they hit the spot! I The service was friendly and quick. If you want a quick stop or a nice seat to people watch, this place will meet your needs. The owner was friendly and funny and made our brief visit enjoyable. We will go back next time we are in town. read more

Excellent fast casual food; since everyone behind the counter is Hispanic, I ordered the taco salad and it didn't disappoint! My partner, an exceptionally picky eater, loved his Philly steak sammie; the burgers looked incredible but we had a bad experience dining at a local burger joint that has huge word of mouth but a meh place so we skipped. Good for families; great service rounded out our dining experience. Do not miss this little gem near Neptune Park; if they're busy, carry out and dine Al fresco! read more

Look at your receipt very close they have a tendency to over charge! My wife noticed a dollar or two added to our bill.

Great place for a hamburger, and good onion rings! Place is a little grungy, and the bathroom is pretty bad, but I would definitely come back for that hamburger... YUM!! read more

Food way to salty. Burgers was the only thing I could bare to eat. Fries were Terrible. Fried pickles H-O-R-R-I-B-L-E. Waitress had a nasty attitude when I sent my food back. Not worth the time or money. Try any other place! If I could give zero stars I would. read more

Good food but out to soak the tourists. Was charged the correct price for food. When presented the bill it was $1 more than listed price. When questioned the waitress said it was for the water. She added that all the restaurants on the Island charge for water. Having lived here for 40+ years I know this is not true. read more

Great fries, great chili dog!! Great service!! Best place on the island for a casual lunch right by the Pier!!

Walked in with a party of 5. We saw the only empty table in back and sat down because that's what the sign said to do. Guy with a beard maybe 50ish waiting tables. Asked us to move to a 4 top. No, let me help you, no welcome or I'm sorry just straight I hate my life attitude. I said we would just leave. He could care less as I tried speaking with him. Dude if you were the owner, you don't deserve your restaurant. If you just work there, you need to re think your life..... actually you belong just where you are. Will never return. read more

Amazing burger and fries!! We go every year we are down for vacation and it never disappoints!! Little hole in the wall by the pier but don't pass it up as it's really yummy!! read more
