This is a great outdoor bar/restaurant with a laid back beachy feel! I went here for the first time this week and had a great salad! The atmosphere is fun and quirky, along with a super friendly staff!
We were here on a Tuesday night but the place was full and they had a great band playing. Lots of TV's make a good place for watching sports - it's a great spot in Redfern! -

Gnats Landing is fun, casual, laid back type of place. You won't find anything fancy here - no need to worry about attire or if your group will be too loud. And you can bet half the menu is probably fried foods! As a matter of fact, we started with fried pickles (slices, not spears.) The were a treat washed down with a variety of beers!
I ordered a fried shrimp po'boy, and side of garlic cheese grits. Both were yummy but not anything over-the-top special! Everyone seemed to be pleased with their orders.
I can appreciate a laid back vibe, sitting at picnic tables, with a band playing, and big screens with ESPN on but it wasn't my favorite meal of the trip! -

Make sure the little ones do not fill up on the sweet tea before the meal. Expect copious refills on drinks, chips. New and improved outdoor space was cool with the fans and open windows. Great choice anytime!

This is really cute atmosphere, and the servers are kind.
And then the food comes.... I ordered the shrimp boy. It was ice cold so asked was it a cold sandwich. The server said no it was supposed to be hot. She returned it to the kitchen. I received the PO boy back in 90 secs. The sandwich was so greasy from being reheated in the fryer, it was uneatable. I then just asked if the server could just take sandwich off of my bill, and bring me french fries~ SN the fries are good. -

Gnat's Landing gets 4 stars for the fried pickles alone. I've eaten other food there, but I can't remember what it was. It was fine, though (I'd remember it if it were bad). I absolutely crave their fried pickles. I've had them at other places, but they never live up to my expectations anywhere else.
Extra half star for carrying imported beer...trust me, there are still few places where you aren't accosted by 8 different types of Budweiser. -

Go where the real locals go. Family owned and operated by a guy that is island heritage. And everyone on the island has worked here at some point. Cheap beer, good American cuisine. And live entertainment. This place is St. Simons Island.

Gnat's Landing is beach casual dining in Redfearn Village. You can eat under revolving fans outside or in AC inside; with the summer heat and humidity we chose indoors. Others have raved about the fried pickles; we didn't try them. but we did go for some delightfully zippy shrimp and grits (specifically, blackened shrimp with andouille, grilled ciabatta bread on garlic cheese grits. Tasty and filling, just right with a big glass of ice tea. We also enjoyed the slaw bowl, a crunchy cole slaw (not too sweet) with good, fresh grilled shrimp piled on top. The menu features a variety of sandwiches, from Cubans to burgers, a variety of salads, All dressings are served on the side except for the Caesar ("You'll come to praise the Caesar.")
Friendly waitresses keep things moving, and the prices are reasonable. Nothing bad to say about Gnat's. It's a pleasant dining experience, and the bar offers a good selection of cold beverages including some imported beers. We'd go back! -
Review from bubba g.

A horror show of a restaurant. Any restaurant touting "gnat" in the name should be burned to the ground. Disgusting, with snubby service that had a "take it or leave it" attitude, a limited and uninspired menu, and sticky old bent plastic furniture that ushered us to our next destination. Pah! Note: These same detached owners basically have control of that whole strip--if you bounce to the "Mexican" place just across the street hoping for better, you will only find more of the same. Go across the street and get some quality 'cue at the gas station instead. What does it say that a gas station beats this place without blinking?

Gant's Landing is a very casual place located at Redfern Village. You can do a little shopping then head over for a bite to eat. They have a good bit of seating, so you should not have to wait for a table. The food is good but nothing to really write home about. There is plenty of parking around the restaurant, unlike many of the places in The Village.

I would not eat here again. Person greeting us was unfriendly (I think he was a bar side employee) for starters and the table was outside and cold and drafty. The fried pickles were highly recommended so we were looking forward to some new discovery and they were so SALTY we could not eat even 1/2 of them (and I can handle salt, or so my husband accuses) Food was big portions, not pricey, maybe better suited for the poor and hearty appetites of beer drinking college kids. The stars given were for our excellent waiter (soon to be Dad, name ?), very nice person!!! Better places to spend time and money on St. Simons Island!

Review from Guerry N.
Saint Simons Island, GA
Gnats Landing, which opened in 1999 is a Bar & Grill located in Redfern Village near Bubba Garcia's. Both restaurants and owned and run by "Boz" Bostock. Boz's goal was to create a place for beach goers to relax in a "Flip-Flop Friendly" environment and enjoy some good ole' American fare. His menu of daily specials, fresh seafood, salads, sandwiches, fried pickles, Vidalia Onion Pie not to mention the $8,000 Margarita. In the fall this is where all the St Simons Island locals gather for the Georgia Football games. So... if you aren't afraid of having a good time, come on by and give Gnats a try.

Fantastic place for lunch! I really enjoyed my meal and everyone was so attentive. It's pretty reasonable and the portions are HUGE! I will definitely go back when I go back to St Simons
