Dining Outside the Home: The Shrimp Factory in Savannah, Georgia
Dining Outside the Home: The Shrimp Factory in Savannah, Georgia! Stroll along the thriving riverfront in Savannah, Georgia until you come to River Street’s former cotton warehouse built in 1823. Here you will find Low Country favorites that give The Shrimp Factory its claim to fame: BBQ Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp, She Crab Bisque, Fried Green Tomatoes, Shrimp and Grits, and Low Country Boil. Blueberry muffins arrive in the bread basket for savoring early on with refreshingly sweet tea. Don’t forget to inquire about the Chatham Artillery Punch. There’s quite a story about Savannah’s secret weapon. If you ask kindly, you may get a sample of the cocktail known to be “seductively smooth with the kick of a colonial cannon.”
Dining Outside the Home: Conroy’s at Marriott Resort on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina
Dining Outside the Home: Conroy’s at Marriott Resort on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina! When you receive special attention from the talented kitchen chefs at Conroy’s, sit up and take notice. Culinary delights, high on presentation and exquisite in taste, make an evening meal one worth remembering. Never mind that the oceanfront view is drop dead gorgeous; that’s merely a bonus. The melt-in-your-mouth flavor of the Chilean Sea Bass drizzled with a rich Béchamel Sauce practically made my eyes roll back into my head. If you’ve never tried it, the next time you find it on the dinner menu, order it without hesitation. Chilean Sea Bass is tender, moist, buttery, and sinful. Try it anyway. It is high quality and honestly, you’re worth it!
Dining Outside the Home: Skull Creek Boathouse on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina
Dining Outside the Home: Skull Creek Boathouse on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina! Nestled along the waterfront, on the banks of Skull Creek bordering the Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge, sits a landmark restaurant known for its ultimate Seafood Extravaganza! You name it, it’s there: snow crab legs, shrimp, mussels, clams, and shellfish. But that’s not all. Fresh seafood is featured daily. Don’t take my word for it. You may have already recognized Skull Creek Boathouse from its exposure on the Food Network, the Travel Channel, or National Geographic’s televised programming. Magnificent oak trees dripping in Spanish moss along the marina create a charming backdrop for casual outdoor dining and live music. Whether it’s a sunset dinner or midday meal, one visit and you’ll understand this “Boathouse State of Mind.”
