Barbara Jean’s is a family run, multi-unit restaurant operation that began in 1998 on St. Simons Island, Georgia, about fifty miles north of Jacksonville, Florida and 60 miles south of Savannah. We specialize in both seafood and made-from-scratch, home-style cooking. As the Savannah Morning News said in July 2006, “It’s rare that a restaurant can pull off doing both seafood and home-style cooking and do both very well, but Barbara Jean’s does just that.” We take great pride in what we do and know that the most important visit we get from you, our customers, is the next one, and we have to earn that today!
The heart of Barbara Jean’s is the very real Barbara Jean Barta. She is the creative force behind the recipes we serve and works every day in one restaurant or another. Other family members are every bit as active.
There is little doubt that we are best known for our Crab Cakes, but our She Crab Soup, slightly mysterious “Chocolate Stuff” dessert and homemade breads have an aggressive following as well. This site can give you as detailed an insight into what we do as you could hope for, as well as restaurant locations and contact information, write-ups and reviews, and on-line product offerings. We even give you a way to contact us, and it will be one of the family that gets back to you.
The Event Room is located on the second floor of our downtown Charleston location.
Large windows let you enjoy views of both historic Meeting Street and Market Street. We offer a full service bar and can work with you on a specialized menu to meet the distinct needs of your party. The Event Room can seat up to 40 people and is perfect for luncheons, corporate functions, private parties and special occasions.
