Family-Friendly St. Simons Island Restaurants You Don’t Have to Clean Up For
While there are many family-friendly St. Simons Island restaurants, this list focuses on places you won't have to clean up for. Go as you are straight from the beach, pool, or couch!
Laid-back bar/grill with burgers, salads, pizza, and more. There are a few arcade games in the back to keep the kids occupied while waiting on food.
La Plancha serves homemade Mexican dishes, specialty margaritas, and other Latin American favorites, including those from Chef Dave's Colombian family recipes. Get the Mexican Street Corn. You won't regret it!
Comfy hub for signature burgers, sandwiches & more with a full bar, craft beer, a good wine selection, ice cream drinks & coffee. We are partial to the All American and the Buford Highway burgers.
Like a traditional Italian pizzeria, Sal's is a quaint, colorful eatery for ample servings of pizza, pasta & other familiar Italian classics. Founded by island legend Sal "Rocky" Cenicola, it's now under new ownership, though they have kept his memory and spirit alive in the restaurant! You can buy pizza by the slice or a whole pie.
The vibe at Frosty's is laid back, a little retro - a shake and burger shop just as you'd imagine with an expansive menu! This is a favorite spot of the St. SiMom's kiddos, and we often come here after school for a basket of fries & milkshakes. It’s important to note that this is an alcohol-free establishment.
A former gas station is now a bustling, award-winning Southern BBQ joint serving oak-smoked meat & other specialties. Feeling tropical, check out their tiki bar!
