Most expensive BBQ ever! We paid $68 for a family of 4 that includes 2 little kids under 5 years old. They had the chicken tenders which were ok and no drinks. My plate was $24 and I was expecting more food. The pork and brisket were bland and the coleslaw had just a bit of mayo and nothing more.... More

Gerald's is funky and fun. The food is great. We tired fried and sautéed shrimp, fried oysters, okra, and all the sides. Gerald personally thanked us for stopping in. The limeade is a must. If you are ever near Tybee Island and want great food and a fun place, stop at Gerald's. You won't regret it.

Interesting open air restaurant on main road as you enter Tybee Island. Fresh shrimp was good, BBQ items also looked great. Try the limeade, Servers were very helpful. Parking is tight. Recommend you try this before the more formal and more expensive seafood restaurants on the island.

Passing this oversized roadside stand on the way into the island, I decided to give it a try on the way out. Wow! While it was not very busy when we sat down it happened that the road closed due to an accident by the Fort, so it filled to capacity. The extra business did not diminish the quality of... More

Our gun club asked Gerald's Pig & Shrimp to cater a fund raiser we held for the American Diabetes Association. We had a turn out of over 200 people. Gerald's P&S did a wonderful job. The food was excellant and the service was just as great. I see why Gerald's was voted BEST BBQ and BEST CATERING. The sauce was... More

After five days of seafood, we had a hankering for some barbeque. We read the lukewarm reviews but decided to try it anyway. Big mistake. IF you like good barbeque, IF you know what good barbeque is supposed to taste like, this is NOT the place for you. I ordered the ribs...guess what? NO RIBS! It was early, no crowd,... More

Gerald is a wonderful Tybee character and his food is terrific. Portions are generous and sitting under the shade is a great way to have lunch before heading to the beach. A must if you are heading out to Tybee.
