We ordered burger and chips (crisps for the brits) after waiting 30 minutes we were given a burger in a bun with nothing else on it and a packet of Ruffles still in there pack the cost of this was $18 and was no bigger than a Mcdonalds quarterpounder so we wish we had gone off the island and gone...

I felt scammed!!!! Great location and views- food however was super disappointing. I usually grin and bare it but this one deserved a conversation with someone in charge. Fortunately, I was able to speak with the owner. Unfortunately, he had excuse after excuse as to why the food was advertised as one thing but what was served was another.... First... More

SeaJay's has been open since 1993 and could not remain open by scamming any customers. We are sorry you did not enjoy our menu. We hope you enjoyed the rest of your vacation. More

Went with a big group. I had the low country boil which I regretted. They would bring out a fresh pan with steam coming off it and I was the first one there and it all seemed just like warm. Corn nearly cold. Shrimp ok but the rest blah. I wouldn't go back.

Sat on the deck overlooking the marina. Just beautiful! Nice casual lunch of sandwiches and chowder. Key lime pie and chocolate cake were delicious too. Prompt friendly service. Would like to go back for the low country boil. Maybe on our next trip.

Service was good. We came for The Low Country Boil but skipped it because it looked overcooked. The only seafood in the boil was shrimp. The shrimp and grits were good.

Seajay's is a fun casual cafe with very good ribs and shrimp, but what I enjoyed most was their pecan pie. It was the Best.

Seajay's is an out of the way restaurant on Jekyll Island. I've been to the island many times, but had no idea it was hidden down an isolated road, right on the water. We went here on a whim. The restaurant has a lovely location with outdoor seating. We wanted to sit outside, but it was too cool for us... More

We had a nice dinner - very friendly service, great crab soup and shrimp salad sandwich. It was too cold to sit outside but we enjoyed watching the sunset from the window!

My husband and my girls loved the Low country boil buffet. I had the crab legs and they were overcooked. Nice setting but the nats were hungry also. Waitress was very good!

Thank you for the kind words on our Low Country Boil. I apologize the crab legs were over cooked and that the gnats were out that day. We can't control the bugs, but the crab legs should not have been served over cooked. I will look into the matter to make sure proper cooking times are double checked. Thank you... More

We just attended a wedding reception held at Sea Jays. The location was terrific as was the food. We had low country broil which was done to perfection. But the crab balls were out of this world. We eat at Sea Jays every time we are on Jekyll and have never been disappointed. An island mainstay.
