From spicy alligator fingers to succulent prime rib, and everything delicious in between, there’s no lack of choices. The children’s menu is popular with kids as is the great green lawn where patrons can occasionally
even see alligators swimming or sturgeon jumping. Albeit rare, there are times when they may even catch a glimpse of the dolphins. The location is convenient to Historic Savannah and just 5 minutes from I-95, and yet patrons feel like they get a break from the rest of the world.
