About Us!

"The ShellHouse Restaurant is a locally family-owned seafood restaurant conveniently located off I-95 at Exit 94 in Savannah, Georgia.  In business for over thirty-five years, The Garrett Family has remained consistent in their commitment to only serving the best fresh quality seafood served in heaping portions that they initially established in 1983 on Wilmington Island at Turner’s Creek, now called Hogan’s Marina.  That first restaurant tragically caught fire, and the building was a total loss after only six months, but undeterred The Garrett’s sought another location and hence the purchase of the vacant “Oasis of Georgia” in 1987. 

This oasis once served Georgia as its welcome center.   Work was underway to transform the once hub of visitors into a place for visitors to grub.  With sons, parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends all working on September 24, 1988, the doors of this oasis were now The ShellHouse Restaurant."
