Salt Island Fish and Beer

What a great little spot hubby and I came across on Tybee Island. We visited on a Friday evening after work. We were greeted as we walked in and seated promptly. Our server was attentive and had excellent recommendations. We started with the Frito Misto. It was delicious 😋 we also had the grilled shrimp with pickled watermelon salad (my favorite) and hubby had the AYE flounder and added shrimp. We were thoroughly pleased with our menu selections and the service. We will visit again.

The perfect antidote to fried fish,shrimp and oyster baskets! The menu is creative and the food is tasty. I had peel and eat (local) shrimp and my wife had the Tuna poke bowl. Lots of great beer and cocktail choices. Great choice if you're looking for seafood with an upscale twist from typical beach fare.

A great find! I picked the place because of previous reviews and I'm glad I did. Had both the peel and eat shrimp (super fresh) and the crab Poutine (interesting but still damn good). A good selection of craft beer and wines....good enough anyone can find something good!
The service was very good and attentive. The atmosphere is excellent....it's got a ...'calm', feeling about it. Soft colours, beachside vibe....but very clean. If I was here longer, I would go again.

My husband and I love to visit Tybee Island and our favorite restaurant there is Salt Island! The drinks are always great and the food is absolutely incredible. In our last visit, we got the oysters on a half shell that were out of this world! I had the Kalua Pig and he had the fish tacos. The food is fresh and perfectly prepared. The menu items are different than most other places and the service is impeccable.

Food and service were great. The bacon jam in the hush puppies was excellent. I got the Kalua pork, the fried rice was fantastic as well as the pork which was not dried out, very flavorful. My wife got a salad with blackened shrimp which was also great. They also had a good selection of local craft beer

Everything here was awesome. Highly recommend the Kalua pig. The fried shrimp platter and the Mediterranean salad were also very good. The fish and chips were very good as well. we would definitely eat here again if we were on Tybee Island. I was also happy that they had a ramp so they were wheelchair accessible.

Delicious. Had the freshly caught Red Drum fish over a bowl of grits and brussel sprouts. We thought the beer cheese hush puppies would have beer cheese to dip it in, or covered, but I think maybe the batter had beer cheese? The pepper jam was good. We had great service and we loved the decor/atmosphere. The family loved the key lime pie. We'd come back to try the other options too.

A fun trendy place in Tybee island. Has the feel of an open bar on the beach filled with locals, which it was. It has a mix of meat and seafood, plus items like ramen soups. We had the blue crab and beer ale poutine fries, some raw oysters, and our favorite for the meal; the buffalo blue cheese bacon orysters. The house made cocktail sauce is very good. Definitely worth checking out if you want something different from more traditional seafood. 😁

Excellent! I had the whole black sea bass and my fiance had the grouper. We also ordered the hush puppies for an appetizer. Everything we ordered was so delicious. Definitely recommend eating here! Yum!

Absolutely delicious seafood! I had the Fisherman's Stew and a Rum's the Word cocktail. My husband had a fried shrimp platter and a few different beers. He was really impressed with the large selection of beer! I'm not a big beer drinker but he says he highly recommends this place if you're looking for somewhere fun and casual to have a beer and relax. I enjoyed the laid back atmosphere. It made me feel very relaxed and calm while I enjoyed my stew. Great place to hang out while you're visiting Tybee Island!

We arrived at Tybee Island close to closing for the Salt Island Fish and Beer but we had no problem getting a table. Even at 9pm on a Saturday night, they were pretty busy. Our server said they had only one special left, fresh caught Georgia shrimp served boiled peel and eat with fries. How are you going to pass on fresh peel and eat shrimp?! I ordered that and my wife ordered the fried grouper sandwich. We were both happy with our selections. The shrimp were fantastic. The fried grouper sandwich was also great and not greasy at all. The watermark for us was that we both agreed that we would order our entrees again. The fries here were very good - crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Our server, although she was busy, was very attentive and friendly. There is a playful vibe and a very laid back beach decor in the restaurant. It’s really bright and light colored and very inviting. All in all. we really enjoyed our dinner at Salt Island!

Salt Island was recommended by a friend as we had been disappointed by other Tybee eateries. The food and service did not disappoint. Friendly efficient hostess and waitress. My husband and I had amazing fish including grouper with garlic cream sauce and fried flounder. The cheese grits with hot sauce was delicious!
On a side note, we returned to our condo after dinner and I was shocked to discover my diamond had fallen out of my wedding ring that I've worn for 26 years. My daughter immediately called the restaurant and within minutes we received a call back from the sweet hostess saying she had found my diamond on the floor under the table where we had been sitting. I will be forever grateful for her kind, prompt response to our request for help!
We will recommend this place to our friends!

When we arrived, we could smell the seafood being cooked and were impressed that the taste of the food was just as delicious as the smell. Definitely try the house hot sauce. I loved the sangria and the red rice. Highly recommend!

Hannah was a great server and didn’t even realize she was also a bartender too while serving us!!!! Food is awesome tho we enjoyed the most was fried oysters, sadly not enough oysters but the mussels I would also recommend and the fried oysters that included the well seasoned Brussel sprouts was super unexpected!

As predictable as last year when we came. Friendly staff, southern foods we can't get in Indiana. Our 1st stop @ Tybee Island beach. The blud crab puotine is awesome, the pepper & salt shrimp was awesome.the Angus Cheeseburger was awesome.....did I mention their menu is awesome?

We had dinner here twice in the span of a few days because it's a great restaurant. The food is delicious, especially the Kalua Pig dish, the atmosphere is pleasant and the staff is friendly and attentive. It really feels like a quintessential beach restaurant. They have outdoor and indoor seating.

I recently had the pleasure of finding Salt Island Fish and Beer while out on a walk and I am so glad I did. The food was absolutely delicious - every bite was packed with flavor and made with fresh ingredients. I had the fish and grits which were cooked to perfection, flaky and light, yet still with a flavorful crunchy coating. The beers were also excellent, each one carefully crafted with its own unique flavor profile.

The service was also top-notch; friendly and attentive staff made me feel right at home as they answered my questions in detail without being pushy or rushed. They went out of their way to make sure that my dining experience was perfect from start to finish.

I highly recommend visiting Salt Island Fish and Beer if you're in the area - it's easy to find, has great atmosphere, wonderful food, and even better service! It's definitely one of those gems that you don't want to miss out on!

10/10 AMAZING experience! We were in Tybee Island for my mom’s 50th birthday trip and decided to go to Salt Island for her birthday dinner with a large group of 10. We had no problem getting seated together even though we couldn’t make reservations, we went around 5pm. Our waitress (Laila) was SO nice and attentive! We had a shellfish allergy in the group and our waitress constantly reassured us that she remembered the allergy and was making sure the food was prepared safely. Everyone’s food and drinks were fresh and delicious. Our group especially enjoyed the grouper, kalua pork, fried rice, and grits. Salad apps looked fantastic, and the brussel sprouts were good if you enjoy blue cheese. It was the perfect spot for her birthday dinner and we will definitely return if we are ever in Tybee again!

Great Food!!!! We had a nice mix of seafood dishes and Roasted pig. We had fantastic friendly staff. We especially loved the shrimp on the poboy but the roll was ciabatta and a big too bready. Fried oysters and pickles was amazing. Roasted pork dish was enjoyable but not what I expected, it had more of an Asian twist that a bbq dish. Just make sure you ask what is in it first. Ice cold beer too. Definitely a big step above tourist food.

Fantastic meal! I had the peel and eat shrimp, and they were so fresh and tender. My husband had the fried shrimp and loved it as well. Highly recommend if you are looking for fresh seafood!
