    Pup friendly !

    Really dog friendly (signs post everywhere saying they're dog friendly!) waited a few minutes fir a spot under the tiki hut and my dog was brought a water bowl. Good food and margs. My dog laid out on the deck and the wait staff gently stepped over him!

    Yummy Breakfast and Great Place

    Went for breakfast. 1st thing they did was bring out water for our dogs. Then other staff came to see them. Plus breakfast was to die for.

    Great views and so dog friendly!

    Capone and I tried this location for breakfast on our trip. The waitress came right out and gave him a bowl of water - stating that the fur babies get first priority - I love it! As it was morning it wasn't crowded so we had our choice of seats and got a great view of the ocean. Capone seemed scared of either the flapping umbrellas (his biggest fear) or the birds trying to steal his toast but he just relaxed right under the table and was content to be included. The breakfast was good and the atmosphere was amazing. We had planned on going back the next morning for breakfast again (its one of 2 places open at 8 for breakfast) but it was raining so we couldn't sit on the patio but we will be back!

    Fantastic

    Second time here and both times were great. Quick with a bowl of water for the dog. The place was very busy but service and quickness was still very good. Love their food and my dog loves the people watching.

    Perfect Place for Lunch!

    Drive down to Jekyll for a day at the beach with my best boy! it was his first time seeing the ocean. We spent the day having a great time enjoying the sun and water! We took a late lunch and what a welcoming place for dogs! it was a super hot day but the patio was nice and breezy! We were seated immediately and had great service! The fish and shrimp I had were fried perfectly! They offered a water bowl for Maverick but we had brought own on! They were very accommodating and it was a great end to our beach day! Would definitely recommend this place!

    So sad

    Our experience here was not good. Restaurants are having a hard time hiring right now, we know this. Our order was taken and after an hour I went to the bar to ask if someone could check on it. Server insisted he put the order in, but they never got it. We were freezing as it was a windy day, so we decided to leave...

    Good Location!

    First off, we loved the hostess! She was kind and welcoming to us and our dog! The food was great! The reason that I gave it four bones instead of five is bedside our waitress was not very attentive.

    Fun!

    Food was great. we saw multiple dogs while we dined. they immediately brought out a bowl of water and then promptly refilled it. No dog menu but a side of chicken hit the spot for Barnaby. Both dogs and humans felt very welcome and enjoyed the live music from the shaded tiki bar.

    Close to the water

    It was a great location. We thought the food was ok and it was nice to have our pup with us. We found other places on the island that had better food/service.

    We can not say enough about this place and how they treated our dog. He was given water and a plate for his food. Allowed to sit in a chair with us at the table. We are already planning a return trip on that alone but the food was amazing and the service phenomenal.

    Beautiful views right on the water

    My boyfriend and I took a day trip up to driftwood beach with our Husky puppy who loves the water and exploring.
    For dinner we decided to stop here because it was pet friendly. The staff was very friendly, brought Nanook a literal bucket of water which he loved and the food was excellent too. There are fans and misters around the outside seating creating a cool environment even on hot days. If you’re ever on the island definitely check this place out.

    Great meal, nice view, very dog friendly

    We had fish tacos and chicken enchiladas. Both were delicious. Outside terrace with spectacular view of the beach. Very accomodating for our two pups and the waitstaff was very friendly and eager to answer questions about Jekyll Island’s features and history. We look forward to returning
