Sundae Cafe
304 First Street, Tybee
Known for its cozy atmosphere and delicious Southern cuisine, Sundae Cafe is my absolute favorite spot on the island. Their seafood dishes are a must-try, with the crab-stuffed shrimp being a standout. Don’t miss their Sunday brunch – it’s the best way to start your week! Please try the Blue Cheese Bread Pudding (it is really more like a cornbread dressing…and thank me later!) Also, please ignore the gas station in the parking area…. It’s not the location that makes this my favorite place in ALL OF THE SAVANNAH AREA!

The Crab Shack
40 Estill Hammock Rd
For an authentic seafood experience, The Crab Shack has an unbeatable view and experience on Tybee. Enjoy fresh crabs, shrimp, and crawfish in a rustic setting by the water. The outdoor seating and live alligators add to the unique ambiance.
Sometimes the steamed seafood is hit or miss…. but you could always hit the SHELLHOUSE on the way out of town on I-95! I do have to give them a 10 our of 10 for the view!
