A beloved family-run institution since 1998, Barbara Jean's has earned its reputation as the go-to spot for authentic Southern coastal cooking on St. Simons Island. Flying in here means experiencing their legendary crab cakes and she-crab soup that locals have been raving about for over two decades. The scratch-made approach to both seafood and Southern comfort food creates a genuine taste of Georgia's Golden Isles. Featured in Savannah Morning News (July 2006) for successfully mastering both seafood and home-style cooking - a rare combination done very well.
