8 Best Southern Restaurants near Amelia Island

“Had a lovely dinner with my wife, Mon May 6, outside on the shaded patio. i had the blackened salmon, and my wife had the blackened redfish. Both were excellent with different blackenings. My wife's seasoning had a little too much cayenne for her pallet, but she loved the flavors.“

“We have eaten here on Sunday for brunch several times. Fabulous service and the food never fails to be delicious no matter what we order. My favorite, French toast, melts in your mouth. My husbands favorite, steak and eggs, is wonderful. Such a nice atmosphere, and wonderful staff! Thanks to all!“

“This place is a real gem. My experience started with the phone call to see if they had any openings last minute for a table for three and the gentleman couldn't have been more accommodating and welcoming. When we arrived, we were seated right away and the food and service were superb. I ordered the snapper and it was delicious. I highly recommend this place.“

“Had the mostly lovely breakfast on the back porch overlooking a little secret garden.“

“Just wanted to say that Willie Jewels in Yulee did a great job with our Christmas luncheon for Lee & Cates Glass in Yulee. I spoke with Jayla to place my order then had to call back to change the day, she said it was no problem. We arrived to pick up order, was helped out to our car. The food was awesome, the customer service was just as good! So from the beginning to the end of our experience it was great! Thank you so much! Merry Christmas!“

“All You Can Eat Crab Legs and Fried Shrimp?!?!!! What!?! Wednesday nights in a small town restaurant, just slightly off the beaten path, behind a Circle K, you will find this Hidden gem (Crab). You will be greeted by one of the locally sourced staff who will invite you to sit where you like. Lauren is amazing! They do have a full bar and the menu is great, ranging from Fried Chicken to a host of seafood options. The AUCE Crab and Fried Shrimp was perfectly prepared and delicious, accompanied with fries and coleslaw (very good and I'm generally not a fan) with choice of cocktail and tarter sauces, obviously clarified butter. They also have a 30 Fried Shrimp option daily, at a great price! This place is fantastic if you're looking for one of VERY FEW restaurants offering AUCE Crab Legs!“

“Excellent service food was really good price was good also.“

“Missy's provides a wide selection of well-prepared foods, and the buffet style means we can start eating right away and get back to work. It's my favorite place for lunch, and I love to bring visitors so they can experience some real southern hospitality!Missy's is also a wonderful partner to the Rotary Club of Camden County, serving as our Friday morning meeting place and party caterer. This excellent breakfast is a great way to kick off the weekend.“
