WOW is all I have to say. We were visiting Tybee Island from Arizona and say this place on maps and decided to give it a try. The entrance is a little sketchy and doesn’t look like a restaurant but do not let that deter you. The restaurant and patio seating is actually huge. We sat on the patio with our dog and the view was amazing.For food I would 1000% recommend the sweet potato fries. The cinnamon butter they come with is out of this world. I will have to go back to Tybee Island just for those fries. I also had the crab burger and it was delicious. The sauce it comes with is so flavorful. Top tier service. I cannot say enough good things about this place.

Great place to enjoy dinner and Tybee Island. The blacken salmon, cilantro potato salad, mash potatoes, and oh yes, the hush puppies and key lime was 👌I missed taking a 📸 of my salmon.. believe me, it was delightful.Thumbs up to our server, Marina, that smile drew us in and showing us where to park. Thanks AJ Dockside Resturant

We were highly disappointed when we showed up and they said there was only seating at the bar. We walked into sit at the bar, but there was only one seat left. However, there were three empty tables that they would not allow us to sit at. I do not understand why we would be able to sit at the bar and be served a meal and drinks, but not at one of the empty tables.Was highly disappointed as we heard great things about this restaurant and plan to arrive just at sunset to see the spectacular views. No where did we see that reservations were required & there wasn’t anyone else waiting to be seated.

Great view of the water and sunset! We sat outside on the dock. Remember - You must have reservations to go here, but we made reservations about 30 minutes before and got right in! The shrimp and grits are amazing!Parking: There is very limited parking and the extra parking lot fills up fast!

The dockside vibe and sunset was terrific. Although, this was the pricey place we went to while being in Savannah and Tybee Island, I was impressed with the food. The house sauce with the shrimp and Cajun dry rub wings were great. Giving a 4/5 due to very limited parking, and prices seemed a bit high for what we got. I might consider going back, but would like to try another place on Tybee Island if we come back.

The service is great! I recommend that you make a reservation because they fill up quickly. It's also a great place to watch the sunset.I got a house salad with grilled chicken, and it was awesome.

We had ridden by on our bikes before, but didn't have a chance to stop in before. Bike is the way to go or walk because parking is tight, and there's NO street parking. If you're looking for a casual place to have a beer or margarita while watching the sunset, this is the place to be, but het there early.We were by chance and waited in line for the place to open. There's plenty of choices on the beverage menu and the dinner menu looked good, but we only wanted a small bite so we had the spinach dip.

First time visit here, and not impressed. Ordered the Dockside Platter with blackened scallops (they weren't) fried shrimp and oysters with their mashed potatoes and veggie of the day, broccoli. First thing, it seemed to take a while for my order to arrive (I didn't time it tho)... when it got to the table it was, at best, warm - nothing was hot-fresh, you know? With an iced tea the bill came to $43.77 plus tip. As you can see from the picture, it wasn't a generous portion and based on the quality, not worth the asking price.Angela, my waitperson, was attentive, efficient and helpful.I really don't know how this place garnered a rating on Google at 4.3 - there's no way, IMO.Parking: Very small parking area in front of the restaurant - not nearly enough for easy access.

We loved it, loved it, loved it. First of all, the bartender was super great. The chocolate martini was out of this world and the peanut butter martini was its whiskey rival.We tried quite a few menu items:Conch 9/10Shrimp 10/10Fish 9/10Tenders 8/10Hush puppies 8/10Scallops 9/10Oysters 8/10Fries 7/10Ahi 6/10Cocktails 10/10THE VIEW 10/10Hopefully that helps everyone new like us have some confidence in ordering new things!MAKE RESERVATIONS! They are booked because they’re great, guys. Don’t miss out.

We waited a little past our reservation time, however our waitress Mindy was absolutely amazing. She was able to give such amazing recommendations. The service and the food there was so tasty and perfectly cooked! The drink was smooth and still very strong! I would highly recommend this place and getting Mindy as your waitress if you can!!! You absolutely get what you pay for so it is expensive but 100% worth it! Pictured below is the Sunset Margarita, Buffalo shrimp, the dinner combo with blackened shrimp, flounder, and sweet potato fries plus the sunset

Was highly disappointed would not rate one star if I could. We asked to be seated for a party of 9 the girl at the front was extremely rude and said no not at all that we should go to crabshack or stingrays. We went back and asked if we could be seated if we were separated but she said she could only sit 4 not 5 and it was an hour for one table for 4 she was so rude.

... we found this place by accident, went in and were absolutely happy.It is not High Class, but the staff is nice, the atmosphere is authentic and the food was good. We had 2 combo platters, and they were great. The blackened scallops were just perfect!We also tried the home made Key Lime Pie! An absolute treat! And the Raspberry Cheesecake was great as well! This will become our favorite food joint on Tybee Island!

Delicious food and drinks, worth the price! Huge servings, shareables, happy hour specials until 7. Great place to watch the sunset! If you can get a reservation. From appetizers to desserts, AJs knocks it out of the park!Always busy and fully booked. You will have to get a reservation 2 days ahead. They do have walk in seating but you will have to wait. Local favorite place to eat.Bar seating is available and the bartenders are always wonderful company and service.

First timer while on vacation. EXCELLENT food here. GREAT live entertainment also. Wonderful atmosphere right on the water. FAST service, CLEAN and friendly wait staff. The Gumbo was terrific! If you are inclined to try gumbo while in the south then this was truly delicious. My family enjoyed the place and the food as well. Highly recommend.

Its a crowded weekend of July when we visited this place. About 30 minutes wait which you will experience in almost every other retaurants along the river. We were glad we got an outside table. Ots humid outside and the mist and fan helps. Our server was very attentive and made sure we have all we need despite the fact she was busy running around. Still very pleasant and ready with a smile. Food is a large portion and delicious. Very reasonable price.

Felt like a little hole in the wall, with several locals and regular tourists who had made friends with staff. That’s nice to see. Apparently you can access it by boat, which you’d almost have to (or walk or bike - they have a bike area) given that there are only 6 parking spots. Cool atmosphere, good decor (not fancy but beachy), and wonderful, joyful people working there. Drinks are A+++ worth it, but expect to pay like $10 for one. One star off for quality / quantity of food for the price - it was good, and probably not more expensive than most, but seafood portion sizes could have been a little more generous. Had 2 bait shrimp. Restroom line long and extends into the bar. But overall scenery and atmosphere and service were delightful, and we are glad to have gone and hope to be back.
