With so many great Tybee Island restaurants to choose from, narrowing down where to go can be difficult! From seasonal, fresh fare to trusted local classics, there are options for everyone on our island year-round. The addition of craft cocktails makes it easy to make a vacation out of eating and drinking your way across Tybee. Whether searching for steamed seafood platters or gourmet hot dogs, a diverse culinary experience await on your dream getaway!
Fresh, Local Seafood
Both Bubba Gumbo’s and Coco’s Sunset Grille serve seasonally fresh seafood and offer guests wonderful sunset views right along Lazaretto Creek. On Tybee’s sound end, StingRay’s Seafood is owned by a former shrimper, so the seafood is guaranteed to be fresh! Located on mid-island, Salt Island Fish & Beer is a mix of traditional beach foo with a modern flair. Enjoy a delicious seafood meal overlooking Tybrisa Street from the rooftop deck of Pier 16.
Uniquely Good Tybee Island Restaurants
The Deck Beach Bar and Kitchen is the only beachfront restaurant on the entire island. Therefore, you can take in stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean while enjoying made-from-scratch dishes that offer a surprising twist on classic beach fare. You can find Sundae Café in one of the most unassuming locations on Tybee. However, the menu is outstanding and focuses on Southern-inspired dishes and homemade deserts. The Original Crab Shack is a one-of-a-kind experience and an island staple. They serve up some of the finest fresh crab with a side of sunset marsh views. Chamacos Tacos and Surf is a hip spot serving delicious street tacos and an array of sides. If nothing else, definitely stop by for a cup of their homemade drink mixes. Huc-a-poo’s Bites & Booze is a local favorite that serves slices of pizza bigger than your head and ice-cold beverages.
For Cocktail Connoisseurs!
A newer spot on the island, Sea Wolf, features specialized cocktails and an eclectic menu of Southern-style, coastal-inspired dishes. They’re known for their gourmet hot dogs, fresh oysters, and great vegan options! There is also Cockspur Grill, whose welcoming environment will have you sipping an ice-cold beverage with the locals in no time! Fannie’s on The Beach is a funky restaurant and bar directly across from the beach that serves unique drinks as well as lunch and dinner.
Family Friendly Tybee Island Restaurants
The Rock House is a truly unique combination of a family-friendly restaurant during the day and a happening karaoke bar at night all in a rock n’ roll themed atmosphere! For breakfast and early lunch, try The Breakfast Club, which features homemade sausages, grits, French toast, and omelets. Sunrise Restaurant offers a wonderful breakfast bar and specialty omelets that everyone will love. Mi Vida is a simple café offering all-natural smoothies, sandwiches, coffee, and more! They’re all about clean eating.
Jolt of Java & Sweet Satisfaction
Tybean art and Coffee Bar on the north end serves crafted coffees made with Atlanta roasters Batdorf & Bronson and offers homemade delicacies. Potlikker Pantry Pantry & Kitchen has donuts and smoothies to satisfy those with a sweet tooth, but they also offer grab & go meals, homemade biscuits, and deli sandwiches if you’re in search of something more savory. And, who can resist homemade ice cream and sno-balls at Seaweed’s on Tybee’s south end?
