MacElwee's
 

Description

This family-friendly joint is the oldest seafood restaurant on Tybee Island, and one of the favorites among locals and visitors alike. Casual and fun, loyal patrons arrive in Sunday duds, beach clothes or even less. A full range of seafood specialties is available, but the clear house favorite is the beer-battered shrimp. Get your oysters on the half shell raw or steamed, and do not neglect to check out the weekly specials. A full bar is on hand for the adults, and a kids menu provides perfect portions for the little ones.

We DO NOT recommend this restaurant.
By ,
The food was way overpriced for such a small portion and wasn't even anything special. Most of the workers seemed very stuck up. We're extremely surprised they were awarded best service. Our waitress was quite rude and wasn't very good at serving either. She missed my brother's glass and poured sweet tea all over his arm and the table, then just walked off. She spilled tea on him (even on his head) every time she came back to refill our glasses. She didn't seem to pay attention to anything she was doing.

Good Food/ Great service
By ,
We have visited MacElwee's 2years in a row. Have had great food, but even greater service. The people are very friendly and happy to be working. Hence, the reason I returned. My 1st visit in 2010, I received a steamed platter with crab legs, shrimp, and oysters. All but 3-4 oysters were cooked to perfection. Since 3-4 of my oysters were slightly undercooked and I could not open them, the manager brought me a new bucket of 15 steamed oysters. I told her she did not need to do that, but she insisted. For that reason, I returned and would go back again and again.

Fair Fare
By ,
I would not recommend this restaurant. The steak (filet) was awful, shrimp and crab legs were overcooked. The 2 young gentleman that waited on us were awesome. Very good service! What annoyed me the most was that the female manager yelled at the employees the whole time we were there. very disrespectful! Won't go back. There's much better food on the island.
