Sea Salt Healthy Kitchen of St. Simons, Georgia

This past weekend, my friends and I took a trip to St. Simons Island (fear not, masks were worn and social distance occurred) and we had SO much fun! In addition to having great experiences in the ocean, performing the WAP dance challenge in front of a majority white population at the beach, enjoying the beautiful scenery, and having fun in our air bnb, we also got the chance to try an amazing Plant Based restaurant called Sea Salt Healthy Kitchen. Before I get into details, I will go ahead and tell you all that it was an absolutely amazing experience and the food was absolutely delicious. It also has healthy, vegan, non vegan and gluten free options so it’s a great place that you and all of your friends can enjoy, vegan or not!

Vibe Check

Sea Salt Healthy Kitchen PH. 912 268 4137

Being less than ten minutes from the beach, the location is great for tourists and easily accessible after a long day of enjoying the beach. My friends and I dined in the restaurant. It was super clean and decorated with – my favorite – hanging planters, sea salt candles, green vases and wall decor.  Many smaller restaurants, fortunately, have less chaos within the store. Therefore, it’s more likely that more attention is able to be paid to the customer. I definitely experienced that at Sea Salt Healthy Kitchen. The workers were so pleasant to speak with, kept asking if we needed anything, and were so patient while dealing with our tourist antics. They definitely surpassed the vibe check. 

Menu Navigation

Going out to eat while vegan can be a little difficult depending on the location. For example, those in Los Angeles are surrounded by health food enthusiasts and vegan fast food, but, in contrast, those in the deep south have less options. Where I’m from (Augusta, Georgia), there are a total of two restaurants I can go to and have a surplus of options for healthy vegan food that does not involve a salad or plain pasta. I really commend Sea Salt’s healthy kitchen because they have made health their mission. They serve a variety of healthy vegan and nonvegan food and make sure that, on their menu, it is clear that they acknowledge the different allergens and diets that people look out for when choosing their meals from a menu. They have symbols by each food item that help identify whether the item is vegan, vegetarian, non-dairy, and/or gluten free. This makes eating out while vegan so much easier. I didn’t even have to do any outside research before eating at Sea Salt Healthy Kitchen because they already had all the information I needed on the menu. 

Was It Hitting Though?

Yes. It was definitely hitting. 

The restaurant had many vegan options ranging from smoothie bowls and hummus appetizers to vegan wraps and vegan chorizo. I definitely had a lot to choose from. I ended up ordering the very vegan wrap with vegan chorizo instead of tofu. It was a warmed wrap with squash, mixed greens, avocado, cucumber, tomatoes, red pepper hummus and vegan chorizo. Everything on the wrap was SO fresh and flavorful. It was nothing short of delicious! My friends also enjoyed and devoured their meals! I also ordered their vegan cookies which were also gluten free. As I took a bite, my friends asked for a piece to taste. We all collectively opened our eyes wider as we tasted them. The cookies were possibly the best cookies I have had in my entire life. They were so moist and soft and the chocolate chips were so decadent and rich. The whole table ended up ordering cookies for their own enjoyment.

Overall Rating
