We came to Marshside Grill on a Friday for lunch in the off-season. It’s one of the few times we didn’t have to wait for a table. This place is just that good. With killer views of the marsh overlooking Saint Simons Island and Jekyll Island, Marshside has some of the freshest seafood around. And…
Let’s all just face facts, Truett Cathy is rolling in his grave. Those chicken biscuits just aren’t what they used to be. Well guess what? Right behind the Chic-fil-A on St. Simons Island is a home cooked biscuit that is sure to make you happy again. Sweet Mama’s is where the locals go. It’s where…
