9 Best Brunch Restaurants in Savannah, Georgia | Eater Carolinas

"While its sibling restaurant, the Ordinary Pub, rebuilds following damage from Hurricane Helene, this Broughton Street mainstay continues to ooze Southern charm and warm hospitality. Standouts include fried chicken and waffles, bloody marys with housemade mix, or the zero-proof Sunday Morning Reviver (lemon, ginger, agave, turmeric, and cayenne). During busy brunch service, the best seats are at the bar. In the mood to splurge? A bottle of Nicolas Feuillatte Champagne Réserve Exclusive Brut paired with truffle parmesan pickled fries begins at $72." - Colleen McNally Arnett

We took a day trip to Savannah and made a reservation to stop by Common for brunch! Great atmosphere and cool ambiance. Our service was great and very knowledgeable about the menu and the restaurant. She was also great about accommodating a dairy allergy we had in our group! I got the chicken & waffles with mushroom gravy and syrup and some Gouda grits and both were SO DELICIOUS!! Oh my goodness I wanna eat this meal every day!!!! I didn't even realize the chicken & waffles came with 2 chicken breasts so I didn't quite finish the whole meal, but I wish I could've! Also never had better grits! The only slight negative was that since we were a group of 7, there was a required gratuity which we totally understand, but it came out to be $21/ person just for gratuity AND then when paying for your meal you're asked if you would like to tip again so that was a bit much for us but just something to be prepared for! Overall, a great place for brunch!

This is an exceptional place to eat in Savannah. You will not be disappointed! Our server, Brian, was outstanding and shared the menu highlights and specials and answered all of our questions with kindness and a smile. People like Brian make eating out worth it. Thank you for hiring good people! We tried the Grit Puppies and Pork Belly Donuts for appetizers and they are BOTH very delicious! Our entrees were the Brunch Bowl and the Steak (brisket) and eggs. The Brunch Bowl is SO YUMMY. I would love to enjoy that dish again. I also had the cappuccino which was NEEDED! I hope you make time to enjoy a meal here!

We ate here for lunch while visiting Savannah. Highly recommended. The food is absolutely delicious. We got the brisket sandwich and split it because believe me it’s huge. Bloody Mary mix was one of the best I’ve ever had. We sat at the bar and Olivia was a great bartender and server. The atmosphere is great it’s beautifully decorated. Clearly at one time it was an old post office, which they kept the post office boxes on the front side of the entrance. I highly recommend this to anyone visiting Savannah.

We’re visiting from Florida, and on our second day in Savannah, we stumbled upon this hidden gem—and wow, what an incredible brunch experience! Erin, our server, was absolutely wonderful—attentive, friendly, and super helpful. The espresso martini? Hands down the BEST I’ve ever had! I had done a bit of research before our trip, and The Collins Quarter was recommended, but we decided to just explore and see what we’d find—and I’m so glad we did! This charming spot completely exceeded our expectations. We’re in love and already planning to come back for dinner. Highly recommend!

We wanted oysters and Google pointed us here and did a great job. We came at 4 on a Sunday so it was their "prelude" menu which is limited but plenty to choose from. We had 75 cent oysters on the half shell and they were yummy! They came with cocktail, horseradish, hot sauce and red wine/vinegar that I can't remember the name of. Worth trying. There is a fella dedicated to shucking oysters and he takes great pride in his work! Service was perfect! Jason did a great job caring for us. Lots of specialty bar drinks and of course beer is available. I suggest reservations if going during a prime eating time. We will go back!

Oh WOW! This restaurant is not one to miss! We had the most memorable and delicious dinner at Common, now a must for our future trips to Savannah. From the service, to the drinks and food, we could not have enjoyed ourselves more. We started with the Mushroom Bruschetta, full of flavor and the perfect size for a starter. I knew before visiting that I was going to enjoy the Duck Confit Tacos and, YES, I sure did! The flavors were amazing and I had to save one to box and have for breakfast tomorrow…they were that delicious! My man had the Fried Chicken Caprese and just like my tacos, the flavors in the dish were so good! The black garlic pesto would be wonderful as a bread dip even. I can’t say enough about how wonderful the food is at Common! Our server was Justin and he helped to make our last night in Savannah perfect. Very personable, accommodating, and as friendly as one can be. We thank him greatly for the service and conversation. We are still talking about how wonderful the food is…classy, flavorful, without pretentiousness. A new favorite! Thank y’all!

We sat at the bar for happy hour and had an amazing experience at Common! The happy hour oysters, crab Caprese, and pickles were all fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The bartenders were friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere at the bar was lively but relaxed. The cocktails were also top-notch. Definitely one of our favorite spots in Savannah — highly recommend!

We were visiting from out of town for my sister’s birthday and made a reservation in advance. Our server was very kind and informative, especially since she was preparing to take her sommelier exam. The food was actually way better than I expected. The portions were large and we made it just in time to order a round of happy hour drinks. The oysters were also $1 each during happy hour which was too good of a deal to pass up. One of us paid $65 for the chef’s tasting menu- which was a 6 course meal. Overall, it was a well worth experience.

I had the ravioli stuffed with short rib. There were only 4 large ravioli, that averaged $8.50/ravioli. They also were served lukewarm. Tasty but not great. My friends food was much bigger portion and cost less.

Such a great dining experience! We went all in on the six-course Chef's Tasting Menu, and every single bite was incredible -- from the savory Rock De Jour and Black Eyed Pea Bruschetta to the melt-in-your-mouth Smoked Duck Confit and rich Crab Rangoon Ravioli. Desserts? The Peach Crème Brûlée and Espresso Panna Cotta were perfection. The staff went above and beyond for my birthday with a handwritten card, a cute pineapple pin, and two glasses of Prosecco on the house -- such a thoughtful surprise. Jared, our server, was fantastic, and the retro-chic atmosphere with great music made the night feel extra special. We were the last table in the restaurant, and the team was still warm and gracious. If you're looking for incredible food, genuine hospitality, and all-around good vibes, this is the place. Can't wait to come back!

Very nice establishment, ambiance, and staff. The food... delicious! The pre meal bread alone should get 5 stars it's so tasty. The burger was so good. Great bun, toppings, and texture. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because the wine service was particularly bad (which is fine if it's not such a big focus/so much emphasis is placed on the wines) + the pickled fries were extremely okay (and it's hard to make a fry to turn down)

I was visiting Savannah and looking for an early dinner with regional food, relaxing atmosphere and good service. I found it at Common! All the tables were taken with reservations, so I ate at the bar. The servers were friendly and attentive. There a lot of options, and I decided on the Southern White Gumbo. This is their signature white gumbo with crab, mussels, shrimp, andouille sausage, & okra, creamy black garlic & wild mushroom risotto. It was very rich and creamy and tasted great. I would definitely eat here again.

Came for the 75c prelude oysters, basically their version of Happy Hour. I believe prelude started at 3pm on their website but the sandwich board outside said 12pm. Service was lacking, the restaurant was empty and bartender didn't acknowledge us in a timely manner. Oysters are on special but no drinks - they are the same price as they are for dinner. We had a round of oysters and dipped for Sorry Charlie's instead - much better atmosphere.

Thanks to Yelp we found a really awesome place for brunch in Savanna... Common Restaurant has a really neat atmosphere and decor - really casual, elegant and hip. But better than the atmosphere was the food. All of the entrees were hefty sized portions. I had the chicken and waffles, and that was hours ago...and I am still daydreaming about it! Perfectly cooked chicken with a mushroom gravy over waffles. The syrup was delicious. It was a wonderful entree and one of the best chicken and waffles experiences i can recall. Our server was do nice and friendly, and really took great care of us. Everyone in our party ordered something different and everyone left happy, full and satisfied!

I've gone back here a few times, mainly because of the location and the fact it's usually close to where I am. The food is pretty consistent, even if some dishes are underwhelming. This time I had the brunch Mac n cheese, which was a HUGE serving. It was gooey, hot, sumptuous. Made with sharp gouda cheese and tangy andouille sausage and bacon bits, it had a lot of flavor. Wish it had a little more sausage in it, but it wasn't too bad. The runny egg on top added another layer of savory. This was probably the best dish I've had here. Will come back and try the mushroom toast and tomato soup next time maybe. Service also tends to be pretty attentive, but this last time they brought me the check without me asking. I usually like to linger and have an extra drink after I finish up.

My wife and I enjoyed dinner here while staying for the weekend in Savannah. We made a reservation in advance and were promptly seated upon arrival on a hot July Saturday evening. My wife was presented with a handwritten card and a pineapple pin for her birthday, which we were celebrating. Things were starting great. A litany of menus was presented to us, including a tasting and oyster menu, the evening's menu, and a wine and beverage menu. It took a few minutes for us to digest all the information and decide upon the tasting menu with a wine pairing. The tasting menu had six courses, two of which we could select from a few options. The first course was a bread course with a small flute of champagne. We asked the person delivering the bread what type of bread it was and also what the butter was. His reply was, "I don't know. I just work here." What? If your job is to bring dishes out from the kitchen, shouldn't you know what you are serving? We flagged our server down, and he enlightened us that it was homemade sourdough bread with truffle butter. It was warm and delicious. My wife picked baked oysters with prosciutto and cheese for the second course. She shared a bit with me, and we both agreed that it was the best dish of the evening. If we were to return, we would skip the tasting menu and eat oysters. My second course was a black eye pea bruschetta that was also quite tasty, but not quite up to the level of the oysters. The wines paired with this course were whites: a Vouvray and a Sauvignon blanc. The server rattled off their names too quickly for us to remember, so we asked to bring the tasting menu back so we could track everything. The Vouvray was the clear favorite with a fantastic bouquet. The next course was a simple scoop of sorbet in some type of sparkling wine or champagne. We have no idea which or from where, as we weren't told, and it wasn't listed on the menu. My wife selected the crab and corn cream cheese ravioli for our main course. The ravioli had an unexpected sweet taste to it. After eating two or three of them, she had her fill. It was not a favorite for her, and it was not helpful that the raviolis were swimming in a sea of sauce. I fared much better this round with an upgraded choice of a rib-eye steak. This thing was huge and prepared perfectly to a medium rare temperature. It came with a fantastic mushroom gravy that added to the steak's flavor. The creamy mashed potatoes were lovely, but the broccolini was a bit undercooked to my liking. This round's wines were excellent--an Albariño white for the raviolis and a red Bordeaux for my steak. For dessert, we both chose the peach crème brûlée. You have to have peaches at some point in the meal while in Georgia. The juice from the diced peaches on top messed with the texture of the crème brûlée, which was not our favorite. We called an audible ahead of time with this course and switched the wine pairing from a Moscatel to a port. The last course was a cute little box with a bow containing tea and tea cookies to take with you. It's a nice touch at the end of the meal. I don't know if the restaurant wants to be a formal or casual venue. The prices suggest the former, while the service suggests the latter. It seems to be stuck somewhere in between. Things could have been better, but they were not terrible.

Amazing service, amazing ambiance, and amazing food. Our family stopped by and split an appetizer and a couple of entrees, all recommended by our nicest host Isabella. We started out with the Gouda Fried Grits; nice and creamy and very flavorful. Great start. Next were the entrees. We all helped ourselves to the Gouda Mac and Cheese topped with fried chicken and a fried egg. This was easily a good dish to have, and I was very surprised the dish was not salty. Sooo good. Bananas Foster French Toast would be a must try when you come here. I'm telling you. Go get this entree. Savannah, Georgia. You keep surprising me! "They're your taste buds. Satisfy them!" -Allan Delacruz

THE BIG: Located in downtown Savannah on E Broughton street. The restaurant is apparently in a 140 year old building. It's very spacious inside with tons of seating at the bar, upstairs and outside. Limited street parking. THE BLACK AND WHITE: The wife and I came here for lunch after a weekend in Hilton Head. Fortunately we were able to snag seats at the bar to order. I highly recommend getting a reservation here because it did seem busy. For food, we got the crabcake bennie and the steak eggs and grits. The crab cake was nice that it had a decent amount of crab in it. The steak eggs and grits was alright. The steak reminded me of a really saturated brisket. It fell apart and still had the beefy taste but diluted. The sauce that came with it was weird. Almost gravy and really threw off my taste buds. Ambiance is nice and the bathroom is weirdly placed. Likely because it's an old building. but you have to go into the kitchen and then in the back to find the men's bathroom. I believe the women's bathroom is in the dining area. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Total cost for two brunch entrees was around $61. Pretty pricey but definitely give it a try if you're in the area and looking for an americana food.

We visited for brunch. I'd give it more like 3.5 stars. It seemed lacking on the shrimp and grits in terms of flavor, and the grits tasted like they'd been sitting out under a heat lamp. Cocktails were pretty good, and service was great. I just don't think we'd come back here.

What makes a restaurant manager offer to comp half your bill? A VERY bad night. First, they have no reservations on Open Table, but half the restaurant is empty all night. They force everyone to eat at the bar. They forget about people's food for a full hour. When they ask about it, it takes ten more minutes to track it down. Then when it arrives, the hostess actually shows up and asks if it's okay to take you off the waitlist for a table. You and the couple next to you start laughing because the restaurant is still half empty. And it's late and obviously no one else is showing up. Then the food. Portions are huge but gloppy and messy. See photo. Why so much sauce, why so much cheese? Solid 2-3 stars. And finally, when you walk by the next evening, half the tables are empty again and it's 100 degrees but they have reserved signs on all the empty outdoor tables at 8:45 pm. Do not recommend. Stay away.

Everything was great! We had a reservation, but got there a little early and there was space at the bar. You can order full service at the bar and we enjoyed it so much that's just what we did. All of the bartenders and servers were great! They had great suggestions, patience, and sense of humor. The food was top notch and the best meal we ate in Savannah. The white bean gumbo was the best we ever had. We thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered. We shared it all. Our only sadness was they ran out of the peach cobbler that the bartender sold us on haha. Amazing cool atmosphere. Casual and classy at the same time. We will be back.

Common was one of several stops on a Savannah food tour, and it certainly made an impact! I should be very specific here- that brown butter bourbon based drink- "The Honeypot" was literally the best drink I've ever had (and I'm a former sailor, I've had a lot of drinks...) The one drink we had on our tour was not enough so we returned later that evening for another (and another...) Folks, the absolute taste delight did not end there. Are you ready for this? Picture it! Pork belly sliders... on little donuts. I weep that I live too far away to pop in on a whim for more. This treat is an absolute "don't miss" in Savannah! The aesthetic vibe, the supercharged AC, the wonderfully friendly and attentive staff, the delicious food, the unique drinks make the Common delightfully uncommon!

Oh my gosh, what do I say about Common except that it's amazing! We had the Bacon Old Fashioned, which was tasty, and unfortunately, this review is a little overdue, so I cannot remember what else we had but I do remember the experience being incredible. The food was amazing. Our waiter was wonderful and the food came quickly. I would definitely go back.

My favorite dining experience during my 5 day stay in Savannah. My reservation for an 8:15 pm table for 2 was an easy check in process and were attended to immediately upon arrival. Their wooden aesthetic seemed welcoming and warm. Our waitress was quick and check on us regularly. For starters we tried their specialty oysters and dreamy Brussel sprouts. The Oysters were a flavor explosion with tangy lemon zest, fresh quality and overall perfect umami filling. They had a spicy option and did not disappoint. the Brussel sprouts were excellent and even then that might be an understatement. Their perfect mix of savory/sweet ingredients were tasteful, and plated with the classic slight char, small bits of ham in the appetizer which i adored. They were 10/10 and still fresh on my mind. The white Gumbo was also delightful. It was a truly souther plate that was not overly salty, and had lovely portions of different proteins across shrimp, mussels, and delicious sausage over its creamy grits and topped with sprouts. My girlfriend and I usually share our plates to get a taste of their different selection but this one was one I really wanted to keep to myself lol. For dessert we indulged in their Peachy brûlée. Its crispy top and creamy filling below was an exciting finish to what was an already remarkable dinner. We paired the dessert with some birthday champagne. Easily loved our dinner experience, the staff was very hospitable and food is to live for! I 100% recommend this restaurant for a taste of amazing Southern cuisine and personally I still reminisce on this meal to remember.

Food: A large group of us went for dinner and agreed that all the dishes were delicious! We ordered salads, pasta dishes, seafood dishes, and drinks. Service: Friendly, prompt, and quick considering we had a group of 14 people. Ambience: Cozy, warm, inviting space. Would come back!

We were visiting from out of town for my sister's birthday and had made a reservation ahead of time. Our server was really kind and helpful. She mentioned she was studying for her sommelier exam, so she was able to give us suggestions on wine and what to pair it with. The food was honestly way better than I expected. Portions were big, and we got there just in time to catch happy hour. They had $1 oysters during happy hour, which was such a good deal (we regret not having more). One of us ordered the chef's tasting menu; it was a six-course meal for $65, and totally worth it. Overall, it was a great experience!

Common Restaurant is a perfect place for brunch. The staff are very friendly and the service is top notch. Not to mention, the food was delicious. The restaurant opens at 10:00am, so that is when we made our reservation on Open Table. We were seated immediately at that time and our server, Justin, greeted us very soon after. Throughout our brunch, Justin was sure to keep our drinks full and the good vibes high. The menu has many options, from oysters to pulled pork to soup. Their wine list is very extensive and their cocktails seem to be a hit. We ordered the Common Brunch Bowl and their daily special of Shrimp and Grits. Both were full of flavor and absolutely delicious. I would recommend both dishes to anyone trying to decide what to order. For our drink, we revived chilled water as we were seated and ordered their Bottomless Mimosas. These are $12 with the purchase of an entrée. That is a deal that cannot be beat. You also receive a one to take with you when you leave, which was a nice surprise. If I lived in the area, Common Restaurant would be a spot I dine at often!

Great spot for brunch! My husband and I came around 1p on a Sunday and grabbed 2 seats at the bar. They have a variety of dishes and bottomless mimosas! Portions are massive. We ordered the steak and Gouda bowl and the crab cake Benedict. The steak was more of a Salisbury steak. Dry in my opinion, but I loved the Gouda grits. The crab cake and biscuit was pretty good overall. Quick service and good for groups!

I was in town for business and decided to try the Common. The restaurant is beautiful and has a great fancy yet cozy feel to it. I ordered the chef's tasting menu and loved it. The oysters were delicious and the shrimp on grits was some of the best I have had. The palate cleanser was lemon sorbet with a champagne float, which was delightful. The shrimp and grits were some of the best I have ever had. The shrimp was fresh and amazing while the cheesy grits was very flavorful. The hazelnut decadence dessert was rich and amazing. The service at the bar was amazing as I had several people looking out for me. I can see why this is one of the highest rated restaurants in Savannah!

Common is a must stop while in Savannah. We went for dinner and enjoyed it so much that we also came back for brunch a few days later. For dinner we enjoyed some raw oysters, a delicious short rib ravioli and a Savannah classic Shrimp and Grits. For brunch we had the steak and eggs and avocado toast. Service is friendly and informative. Make this a stop on your next trip.

I visited Common Restaurant twice while in Savannah. Once during a food tour, where I had the Pork Belly Donut, and the second for the Brunch menu, where I had the Steak, Eggs & Grits, along with the Pickled Poutine Fries. Everything was quite tasty! Both times, service was excellent and the ambiance was just right. In all honesty, the reviews and love for this restaurant speaks for itself! Reservations book out immediately (we couldn't get in for dinner service) and people truly just don't want to leave when they are seated. The only reason that I'm giving the Common Restaurant 4 stars is because unfortunately, my Steak, Eggs & Grits came out cold, which was heartbreaking because I knew it would have tasted phenomenal warm. Though, still delicious. But either way, it was Valentine's Day weekend, so I know it must have been hectic. I look forward to returning because tasty food quality, too-notch service and good vibes speak for themselves!

The service was good. We were a party of 4 and everyone seemed to like their food. I had the Mahi served in a pineapple boat. The presentation was lovely but the dish was just okay. I will try it again and order something different.

I loved common for dinner on my savannah trip. I got the mahi mahi (which I have never tried before) and absolutely LOVED it. It was served in a pineapple and had a teriyaki-like glaze. I don't love fried rice and the restaurant/chef accommodated me by replacing the rice with veggies in my pineapple bowl! My brother got the short rib plate and said it was good -- but the cornbread was overly sweet. We loved our appetizers -- brussels and house made sourdough. we both agreed these were the best apps we had all trip!

This was an excellent dinner experience. Our waitress was training another waiter, and both were kind and attentive. The menu had so many options that looked amazing to us, and the waitress helped us narrow down what to get. We split the Fried Brussels appetizer to start, and it was incredible. Whenever I see short rib on a menu, I usually have to order it, so I went with the Short Rib Ravioli, and it was extremely rich and filling (not always the case with ravioli). My husband enjoyed the Southern White Gumbo. If we were hungrier, we would have done the tasting menu, but we knew we wouldn't be able to finish it. I'd highly recommend this place! The decor of the restaurant was super funky - part modern, part retro, part who knows what. But somehow it worked. It was a really lovely experience.

We dined at Common while in town for my birthday. Beautiful spot with fabulous food! We enjoyed the Brussels sprouts, pork chop special served with sweet potato mash and roasted carrots and the pineapple situation which consisted of a juicy pineapple filled with delicious pineapple fried rice, Mahi Mahi filet with a side of yum yum sauce. They have a great bourbon list too. The manager, Michael was really sweet and charming. Our server, Tiffany was wonderful and we also enjoyed chatting with Chef David while he was shucking oysters. Overall, spectacular dining experience! We will definitely be back.

Common was our plan B brunch choice, and although there were a couple misses, we enjoyed it overall! Server seemed like a newbie, but she delivered and got some assistance from her team. The biggest disappointment is that the mimosa is pre-mixed. It was mostly OJ. My friend had to send it back and get something else. Besides that, they offer some great brunch cocktails and coffee drinks. I liked the Mezcal Espresso Martini. For starters, we shared the Smoked Oyster Rockefeller and Loaded Grit Puppies. I didn't taste the pork belly, but liked the creamed collards in the oysters. My friends were fans of the cheesy grit puppies. I had to get the Crab Cake Benedict. The crab cake was excellent, but would have preferred my eggs poached rather than sunny side up. I added the mimosa poached shrimp for $9 and that was not worth the 4 pieces that didn't taste like anything. The hollandaise had beet in it, giving an interesting pink color. My friends ordered the Chicken & Waffle, Shrimp & Grits, Brunch Bowl, Hash Bowl and Steak, Eggs & Grits. Nothing light here! We indulged and this brunch kept us full until dinner. Our leftovers heated well the next day too! Don't forget to check in on Yelp for 10% off the bill!

Went here for last meal before we left beautiful Savannah. Food was decent but wait staff was meh. We had Manager come over initially with newbe to make sure things got off on right foot. Entree was brought over. I looked at it and knew it couldn't have been what I ordered. Newbe came over and said "yes you got the right entree". She didn't have a clue really. As she was leaving Manager came back and said "no that is not what you ordered". She fixed it but my Wife was done with her food when mine finally arrived. Every restaurant except this one was excellent in Savannah.

Having visited Savannah a few times, we hadn't had the opportunity to dine at Common. Since we were in town for the annual St. Paddy's Festival, we stopped there on Broughton Street with the parade in full swing. We had a very satisfying brunch since that was what was on the menu. Combining southern charm with a sophisticated interior layout, Common delivers a bohemian ambiance perfect for a laissez-faire dining experience. Here, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy flavorsome drinks and rich, savory food. I enjoyed the Ordinary Bowl, a breakfast-like dish loaded with eggs, grits, cheese, and bacon that filled me up. The oysters, sourced from the James River in Virginia, were meaty and full of palatable flavors. For cocktails, I took my time on the sweet and spicy Illegal Chocolate cocktail that allowed me to contemplate existence while also serving as a substitute for dessert. Enjoying our meal surrounded by the historic but sophisticated character of the restaurant's interior design allowed for a pleasurable experience as dined on satiable culinary goodness while the parade continued on outside.

I came in recently after a not so great first experience with the food, but I wanted to try it again. I had a reservation for 10 right when they opened up, they instantly sat us and from that point on our waitress handled things very well. She was very helpful when it came to deciding on food/drinks and even let us switch out a drink at the last minute. I will be back to try more items. Food 9/10 Drinks 10/10 Customer Service 10/10

Where do I begin? I'll start with the ambiance at The Common, it's absolutely amazing and of course the wonderful staff here enhanced the ambiance. Everyone that touched our table was in a splendid mood, kind, offering suggestions, we had a grand time while dining here yesterday. Bottomless mimosas were a hit at our table! Arin took great care of us during our visit, so much, I can't wait to return. The food! The food was everything delicious! Everyone in our party ordered something different from the menu, of course, we all raved about our food. I had the brisket club minus a couple things and it was wonderfully prepared. The brisket was smoky, juicy, and tender. Let's talk about those spectacular fries it was paired with, yes they were giving epicurean style salt and vinegar, yum! Good times were enjoyed!

Beautifully decorated and cozy atmosphere, this place offers great food, great service and a great experience. The Pineapple Situation, Salmon Gastro Plate and the Duck Confit Tacos were amazing. Where this place shines is their Prelude Menu with 75 cent oysters and seafood tower that fuck. Must go!

We found this Resturant after a morning of wondering around the city. Friendly and fast service. We sat at the counter. Bartender kept the drinks filled. If you order a brunch entree you can do unlimited mimosas for $12; this is a deal. We ordered the brunch bowl; with pulled pork; cheesy grits; Gouda cheese , scrambled eggs; peppers, onions . Yum it was delicious; the pulled pork was tender and had very good flavor. Would I come back? Absolutely for sure.

Ambience Food Service Everything was excellent. The short ribs on cornbread was phenomenal. I had the creamed collards substituted for the broccoli but I wish I could've tried them with the short ribs and cornbread.

We came to this restaurant from out of town and sat at the bar and it was AMAZING! Being pregnant, I appreciated the zero proof bar menu and enjoyed the N/A Martini. We both got the Southern White Gumbo and it was to die for. Truly, one of the best Gumbo's I've ever had. The creaminess and all the ingredients made it so unique and scrumptious. Our bartender/server was very nice and helpful. The ambiance was very cool; and the moving sign at the bar was a nice touch

Went there with friends for Labor Day long weekend. Reservation recommended. The restaurant was completely full during dinner time. Our server was nice and considerate. She helped with drink selection and entree suggestions. However, since there were several big parties, the food came out slow. Crab + burrata with sourdough bread was the best this time. Great flavor. The pineapple was a bit Asian fusion.

We were in Savannah for our annual girls trip. This spot was referred to us by a local resident and we ran into a TV fave and decided to dine in for brunch. It was early so walking in, we were seated immediately without a reservation. The menu was limited in choices and only brunch was being served. Our entrees included the crab cake Benedict, Gouda grit puppies and the fried chicken sandwich with the pickled fries. The crab Benedict was good and my friend enjoyed her Gouda puppies. However, both my friends who ordered the fried chicken sandwich complained of the chicken being overcooked and not a fan of the pickled fries. Despite the mixed reviews in the food, our waitress was super sweet and accommodating. The ambiance was also nice for an afternoon brunch.

I had the Brunch Bowl. It was absolutely divine and the flavors really came welll together! I would order it again. DO NOT order the endless mimosas. It's nothing more than orange juice and a half shot of champagne.

Food, service, ambience Are all perfect. This Restaurant will blow you away. I was so surprised. Please do not leave without trying the cornbread./ I'm a drink man. Fried bacon bourbon. Couldn't pick a better place to celebrate my birthday. With my beautiful wife. Every bourbon you could imagine. The fried cornbread it speaks for itself. Fried chicken, if you're from the south, you know what I'm talking about. Espresso martini is made with a fresh cold brew .

Came here for lunch on Friday and wasn't impressed. The burger needed seasoning and my fries were cold. We also got the fried grit balls and they were okay. Sister got the shrimp and grits and they were mediocre. We also got the rose sangria and it wasn't something I'd get again. Overall kinda disappointed.

A nice dining experience with southern charm. The building itself is beautiful - historic and elegant. The service was excellent - although we did dine here on a Monday night. The fried green tomato caprese (generous portion and perfectly fried) and the short rib hot plate (beautifully presented with tender meat) were both impressive. However, I think the shrimp and grits took the prize. While it's hard to get shrimp and grits wrong in the south - this dish was particularly good. Given a 28 page wine list, there is a nice selection wines. I imagine the tasting menu would have been a worthwhile experience given a bigger appetite. I'm glad we were able to experience this restaurant.

This was THE BEST meal we had during our week in Savannah. The food was just spectacular! Our server Tricia was also super kind, helpful and friendly. My Caesar salad was different than usual and really tasty with pickled onions, a few capers and a little more of a vinegar taste. Yum. The fried green tomatoes we shared were sooo crispy and yummy and the add ons for it did not distract from the tomatoes as was the case elsewhere we tried them. My white gumbo was perfect-- so creamy with perfectly prepared seafood. My spouse had the short rib stack which was so tender... and the corn bread it came with--- to die for! We finished it off with a shared pumpkin bread pudding which came with dreamy caramel sauce. Sooo perfect! The place also has super interesting decor-- little rustic tidbits. Really interesting to look around.
