the river, you’ll find it here.
CASUAL CUISINE
Golden Isles days are long and packed with activity, so don’t skip
out on breakfast. Café Frederica is a local favorite nestled in the middle of St. Si-
mons Island. They do the classics really well: Eggs Benedict, omelets, and sweet
cinnamon rolls. At Palmer’s Village Café , delight in banana pudding pancakes,
pimento cheese grits and the Surf Squared - two poached eggs served over crab
cakes with arugula, seared tomatoes and freshly made hollandaise sauce.
No matter where you spend the day playing, you can find delicious
food around every corner. If you’re on the beach or exploring St. Simons Light-
house and Pier Village, grab a shrimp po’boy at Iguanas Seafood Restaurant or
or a cup of the famous she crab soup at Barbara Jean’s . If you’re shopping
around St. Simons Island, take a break for fresh margaritas and authentic street
tacos at La Plancha . For an afternoon pick-me-up, venture over to the Golden
Isles Olive Oil Culinary Center and Wine Bar to create your own cheese and
charcuterie board, and pair it all with the perfect glass of wine.
When in Historic Downtown Brunswick, don’t miss lunch at
Tipsy McSway’s Neighborhood Bar & Grill , where you’ll find dishes that are
anything but bar food. You can’t go wrong with a daily special.
When evening comes, keep your “island time” vibe — and casual dress! —
going into dinner. Grab a handcrafted pizza at Mellow Mushroom or a burger
at Certified Burgers and Beverage . For authentic international
flavors, try Tramici .
