About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
The Louisiana French Creole use the term “lagniappe” to describe something that’s “a little something extra,” and that's exactly what chef owner Brian Grimley knows it takes to transform a dish from mere food into an experience you never forget. Inspired by the culture and flavors of New Orleans, Charleston and Savannah, Chef Grimley's Lagniappe- Amelia Island combines the traditions of the French Creole with unique twists on Southern culinary staples using only the freshest local ingredients. And should you wish to elevate your experience by imbibing one of the many cocktails on the menu, you'll choose from a range of both classic and new wave cocktails inspired by the eclectic spirit of the South.

    Very nice knowledgeable waiter. Specials were a bit pricey but our menu items were outstanding. Shrimp and grits and catfish were delicious. Will revisit next time in town. Cool modern atmosphere.

    Wonderful Wednesday dinner in Amelia Island. It was a special Ladies night out and Lagniappe didn't disappoint. The booth for 6 was roomy and comfortable. Our server, Jess, was attentive and we appreciated the depth of the menu. It is a nice touch that the draft beer offering included two selections from a local brewery.

    My wife and I had the two "catches-of-the day" outside on a 65 degree patio. They lit the gas fire feature and created a lovely and comfortable setting with great food. We do and will return often.

    We discovered this restaurant during COVID. It was a wonderful departure from the brutal dining rules imposed in the Northern states. We decided to celebrate our Anniversary at Lagniappe this visit, and we were not disappointed. The shrimp is sourced from the waters off the Ameilia Island coast and is fresher and more flavorful that then farm raised shrimp imported from Asia. The Shrimp and Grits were spectacular. Service was excellent. The restaurant was filled with locals, but we fit right in. Staff seemed to enjoy working there and made the experience memorable. The only improvement I can suggest is that they bottle their Tupelo Honey Dressing and offer it for sale as you leave. Thank you, Lagniappe! We will see you the next time we visit the island.

    Service was lovely, we went for meatloaf, Monday! We have been there many times for that. But this time the meatloaf was overdone, the green beans were barely cooked, and the macaroni and cheese was cool… Our fault we should’ve said something, but we didn’t. Other than that, we do love the restaurant and we will be back!
