Desposito's Seafood

Desposito's began as Walton's Seafood, a humble market that catered to locals and Tybee Island visitors. The Thunderbolt property was purchased in the 1960's by Italian dockworker Carlos Desposito. After his passing in 1982, wife Walton and stepson David Boone took over the operation to keep Desposito's dream for casual, delicious local seafood alive. After extensive renovations and the addition of a large river view bar lead by Michelle Smith, managing partner, Desposito's legacy continues today. It's still a favorite where friends and family gather for good times, great company, and the freshest seafood around.

This group covers the non-Asian restaurants, cafes, bars and food businesses that also appear in a mixed-cuisine food scene, including American diners, pizza, Mexican food, burgers, steakhouses and bakeries. Standard US restaurant norms apply: lunch and dinner service with a quieter stretch between, cards and tap-to-pay accepted almost everywhere, and a tip of 15-20% customary for table service. Fast food and quick-service counters expect payment up front and tipping is optional. Bars check ID for anyone who looks under 30, and the drinking age is 21 nationwide. Many restaurants in this group take reservations online through third-party platforms, while casual and fast-food spots are walk-in only. Sales tax is added at the register on top of the menu price and varies by city and state, so the final total is usually a few percent higher than the posted prices suggest.
