Where to eat on Tybee.

Seafood · Bar·$$ – $$$

Practically across the street. Coastal seafood done with confidence — the coconut shrimp arrive nine to a basket and the lobster crab bisque is the real thing. Big portions, lively room.

American · Breakfast·$

A no-frills diner a block up Butler with strong coffee, generous omelets, and a breakfast buffet that runs early. The kind of morning that makes the rest of the day feel easier.

American · Pizza·$$

Cross toward the strand, climb the stairs, and you're on the rooftop watching the beach. Pizza and shrimp burgers are the move; the view does the rest.

Seafood·$$ – $$$

A block off the beach near the pier. Shrimp and grits on the upstairs deck, and a clam chowder locals come back for.

Café · Healthy·$$

A small café a few blocks down Butler. The Sammy on fresh sourdough and an oat-milk café con leche, eaten outside in the morning sun. Stopping in is half the point.

Japanese · Sushi·$$ – $$$

A small sushi spot a short walk from the inn. The kind of place where the chef remembers you on a second visit and the owners actually care about allergies.

American · Beach Bar·$$

The one restaurant on Tybee where your table sits on the sand. Fish tacos, fresh oysters, and a cold drink while the light comes off the Atlantic. Worth the short drive north.

Pizza · Bar·$

The locals' pizza joint toward the north end. Cornhole on the deck, live bands at night, and a single slice that feeds two. Bring the dog.

Southern · American·$$ – $$$

Hidden in a strip mall behind a gas station toward the north end, and well worth the hunt. Southern cooking, a serious wine list, and a key lime pie locals reorder. Reservations recommended.

Cajun · Seafood·$$

Cajun-leaning seafood out by Lazaretto Creek. Gumbo, po' boys, and a covered porch over the water — a classic Tybee dinner with a marsh sunset.
