Certifiably Green

Grinder to griddle is Certified Burgers & Beverage approach to the hamburger. This locally-owned establishment serves wholesome, fresh, and local food ranging from salads to hand cut fries to fresh ground patties and thick, luscious milkshakes – all made in-house.

Chef and owner David Carrier, along with his wife Ryanne, have created a warm, comforting environment with excellent service and delicious Five-Star cooking including specialty sweets and memorable drinks.

Not only do Chef David and Ryanne provide mouthwatering burgers, brunch, and donuts, they are also dedicated to our environment . That’s why today, on Earth Day , we are highlighting Certified Burgers & Beverage for 1% Wednesday.

The Certified Team practicing social distancing and eagerly awaiting your next order!

“As a business it is very important to support the community that supports you,” says David. “That community not only consists of the wonderful people around here but also the beautiful island that we make our home. The protection of green space on St. Simons helps maintain its authenticity and preserves our island for years to come.”

In addition to Certified being a 1% for St. Simons partner , its owners work with local farmers and source local produce whenever possible. Their beef is grass-fed and 100% hormone and antibiotic free. Lettuces come from Five Oaks Farms , and fresh herbs and vegetables are obtained from across St. Simons Island, including from Uncle Don's.

While we are all being asked to shelter-in-place, Certified has developed Dinners for Four from Tuesday through Sunday, inclusive with wine. The meals are in addition to the restaurant’s standard menu and are meant to satisfy your comfort-food cravings . These to-go meals, and all other take-out orders, are packaged in biodegradable containers. In addition, plastic cups and straws are all plant based.

Ryanne took the successful Dinners for Four idea and created Golden Isles Meals to Heal to help fellow service industry professionals recently laid off as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Carriers thought “these dinners could become very meaningful for those who were most affected during these challenging times.” Collaborating first with St. Simons Community Church and Beloved Ministries, they then hooked up with two other local restaurants -- Halyards and The Local Brew -- and together have served meals to more than 400 people in three weeks through partnerships with Glynn County School Systems, Hope 1312 Collective, Faithful Love, and Coastal Outreach Soccer.
