Huey's

My wife and I stopped in for breakfast before leaving town on Monday. We were greeted at the hostess stand and seated immediately. Within moments of sitting down, the waitress had water sitting at our table, and allowed us a few minutes to browse the menu. Both of us ordered our own version of an omelette, and finished the meal off with some beignets. The omelettes were fantastic, but even better than that were the potatoes that accompanied the breakfast. And of course the beignets were probably a little overkill for breakfast, but we just had to do it. They were a nice sweet treat, but since we were stuffed by the time we got to the dessert all I can say is they were fresh and delicious, but we had to leave some behind. Overall a pleasant experience at Huey's on the River, and we'll be sure to visit next time we're back in town.

We came to Huey’s with a big group of 19 people, including adults, teens, and seniors (one using a wheelchair scooter), and they couldn’t have been more accommodating. They handled our group really well, and the service was excellent from start to finish. Everyone in our party enjoyed their food, drinks, and desserts. The whole menu seemed to hit the spot for everyone, which isn’t easy with a group that size. We ordered a few rounds of beignets to share and they were amazing, definitely a highlight. The staff made sure we were comfortable, and even with such a large party, everything came out smoothly. I’d absolutely come back next time I’m in Savannah. It was a great experience all around.

We stopped in for dinner after driving all day to get to Savannah and really enjoyed Huey's. Relaxing atmosphere. No rushing us and no making us wait either. The food was fantastic! We had the Shrimp & Grits and the Red Beans & Rice with Sausage and both were perfect. Highly recommend this place!

One of my favorite breakfast places when I was in Savannah! I love that their hours are from 8:00AM - 9:30PM/10:00PM. A lot of comparable places opened at 9 or 10. I'm an early riser so I was looking for breakfast places around the historic district that were within walking distance of where I was staying. This fit the bill. I walked right in at 8:10 and there was no wait. I had a coffee and the Crabcake Benedict and they were phenomenal! This is right on the river and looks to be a great spot to watch container ships come in. You can check the Georgia Port Authority and find the schedule of when bigger ships are coming in if you do want to enjoy a meal while watching. I did have to go down a steep flight of stairs to get to this place so be advised if you do choose here. I also don't believe there's easy street parking - as I said I walked here and it was only a few minutes from my hotel. However, I wouldn't let that deter you. Great place and I will definitely go again!

The vibe and views were beautiful, and the service was good overall, except for the maître d’ who took a minute to come back?? maybe she was on a break. I mainly came in because I saw a couple outside enjoying a beignet, and since I was in Louisiana just a month ago, I was definitely craving them. They were nice and hot when we got them, but unfortunately, they didn’t allow the dough to rise properly, so the inside was quite dense rather than fluffy. Still, I’d give it a B+ for effort.

Love the location right on the river! The food and drinks were amazing and the service quick and friendly. I got the eggs Benedict with the grilled tomatoes, some beignets and a coffee cocktail spiked with kahula and baileys. My partner got the “famous” Bloody Mary which was good but definitely different than other bloody Mary’s I have tried. I would highly recommend!

Went for dinner here on a Thursday night. It wasn’t too busy. I did come by myself so I ate at the bar. The bartender was excellent! Very friendly and made suggestions. The house salad was amazing. It had blue cheese and toasted almonds. They brought out two big bottles of oil and vinegar for me to apply myself. The New Orleans poor boy was very fresh and delicious!

Fantastic! My Wife and I went for breakfast a few days ago and then decided to go again for dinner the next day. Delicious food, good portions, great atmosphere, beautiful views! If you’re in Savannah, highly recommend coming here!

Fabulous friendly service ! Best Gumbo I've had in a long time ! . Highly recommend

Huey's didn't have a large selection of food, but they do have something for everyone, I personally tried the shrimp étouffée and thought it was pretty good. The seasoning was just right and not underwhelming or overpowering. They also bring out cornbread before the meal that is moist and melts in your mouth. The service was good. We didn't have to wait to sit for a party of 5. We did arrive around 7pm. The ambiance was casual and welcoming. I'll definitely give it another try when I'm back in the area.

God no. I would not try anything from here again after having their shrimp poboy. The bread was cold, not soft, and there was barely any shrimp!! Not at all New Orleans style, nothing close. It was a sad sad sandwich. We did also get the cheesy grits which my husband approved. Hope others have had better experience with their menu items.

I was in town for several days with my parents as a pre-holiday vacation and my parents who have visited Savannah previously said we had to stop by Huey's to get the Beignets! I'm all for fried dough and powdered sugar! :) Huey's is right on the river and the front of the store is just windows so you can see the big ships when they come by. It was a bit stuffy in there and noticed the fans were not on. Our server was very nice and attentive and was able to get them on and cool us off quickly. We went around lunch time but me and dad were still kinda full from breakfast. And frankly, I was there for one thing...the beignets! We ordered a dozen because even though they are best hot and fresh we wanted some leftovers. They were amazing! My dad got the caramel praline cheesecake and it was not a small slice! Mom was hungry and got the fried oyster po'boy which she really enjoyed and I just got a plate of hot fries to share. Even though we didn't have a huge lunch our server was great and really made our visit special. If I ever get back to Savannah I'll be back to Huey's and you should check them out!

I've only been here a few times and it's always been for the beignets. They are delicious and the sauce on the side is so good! I was disappointed last time that they didn't bother putting the sauce in with my order. I didn't notice until I got back to my car and had to walk all the way back down River Street to request it. That was super frustrating.

Huey's on the River is a fantastic choice if you are in Savannah, Georgia. The restaurant is in an old cotton gin and the ambiance definitely added to my overall experience. My server was top notch and offered stellar service. I went with the crawfish etoufee and red beans and rice. Both were excellent. This was overall a great experience and I would definitely recommend here.

This restaurant is a hot commodity on Riverstreet, so be prepared to wait. Plenty of seating but space is really tight. Now on to the food, came out super fast!! Service was impeccable from beginning to end. Waiter was extremely polite and knowledgeable of the menu. The views from the restaurant were nice and plenty of options on the menu. I would visit again

Wow!!! We stopped there just to order a dozen beignets and I must say, they are the BEST we have had anywhere yet!! Delicious!! The view was amazing.. service was great.. will definitely be back!

Beautiful view of riverwalk & river from the dining room side. We were lucky to walk in with party of 6 and get a table quickly. Its a nice bright space. They also have an indoor bar with tables for dining thats more casual, to the right when you enter. We were brought into main enclosed dining room to the left. It was a pretty warm evening, so we were happy they had the glass doors closed to full enjoy our meal in AC. The gentleman who was our server is a Savannah native. Authentic southern hospitality, with great menu reccomendations. We started with fried green tomatoes and their french pastries, World Famous Beignets. Best way i can describe..like a french version of Italian zeppole, but its flat, much more light, airy crispy on outside and moist inside doused in powdered sugar. Both apps were absolutely delicious! Most of us had the shrimp & grits which is a Savannah flavor must have in my opinion. And every restaurant has a different take on it. But I haven't had a bad one yet, anywhere. I went with the catfish. It was a little disappointing in terms of flavor, but was clearly fresh and breaded/fried perfectly! Overall we enjoyed our meals, the service, the great river view, and the air conditioning!

The food was really good. The beignets were amazing. William, our waiter was both professional and knowledgeable. He gave us several recommendations and was always nearby for questions. The restaurant was decorated for the holidays, very nice touch.

I had the Cajun jambalaya pasta here and it disappointed me. I expected a flavorful Cajun marinara pasta sauce but it was only tomato and bland. There was nothing special about the Chiron or shrimp and the sausage could have been better quality. The only upside to this visit were the beignets which were spot on!. As a person, who hasn't had the real beignets in New Orleans nor at Disneyland ... lol these were good as a first time! I would go back here just for those, not so much for the food.

Huey's was recommended to me by a bar patron of mine that used to live in Savannah so we checked it out. Cute, right on the river, has a full bar as well. Was a little loud but the French toast and eggs Benedict made up for it in a big way! Very good and the staff was very nice. Will definitely return on a future visit.

It's a little breakfast spot right by the river. The decor was beautiful as we walked in and we were greeted. Everyone was friendly. Our server was amazing! She was knowledgeable and recommended the cheesy potatoes and grits. My sister ordered the steak and eggs with her side of cheesy potatoes. I ordered eggs Benedict with grits as my side. We got beignets for dessert and our server was so sweet and made a little plate for my baby niece as well. This is a nice little restaurant with good food. I would be back!

This place is by far my top favorite in Savannah. I love their beignets for appetizers. Mimosas are delicious. Me and Wife went here several times. Idk where to even start. There wings for appetizers are pretty good! The shrimp gumbo is phenomenal. The fried catfish is tasty. My goal is to try everything on the menu lol. The ambience is good very in an out and it's right by the river. The wait time and service is quick and fast, there's never been a moment where we waited too long. Best times to go is during brunch or even dinner. That's all I have for now! I hope you enjoy!

Lovely little spot. Got a table by an open window and the view was just what I wanted. Got to people watch, which is my favorite, while overlooking the river! Food is great and at a reasonable price. Had the bloody mary which could have been better, but was decent enough with my po'boy. Staff was attentive and friendly!

Anyone looking for good Creole/Cajun food is not going to find it here. While I didn't expect something out of Emeril Lagasse's kitchen, I thought it would be something on the level of an Olde Nola Cookery in New Orleans. But Huey's wasn't even as good as a lowbrow NOLA tourist trap. My wife had the crawfish etouffee and I had the fried oyster po' boy smothered with gumbo. Both dishes were underseasoned, and I've never had a po' boy with large chunks of tomatoes in it. I had fried okra for my side and it was not breaded well and fried whole. I ended up with tough, whole okra with spotty breading and didn't bother finishing it. Our servers were great, but I'm not sure I could recommend the food.

We had a fantastic experience dining here. The Riverwalk atmosphere added such a relaxing touch to the evening. Carolyne, our server, was absolutely wonderful--attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. And let me just say... the beignets? Hands down the best in town--crispy, fluffy, and perfectly sweet. We'll definitely be back!

There wasn't a wait and we had waters brought over relatively fast. Mark was a great waiter that was always around to help. He helped with placing our orders and answering extra questions. When the food did come, he was quick to clear plates and get fresh ones when necessary. It's a small location directly beside the water with great views. After eating, definitely walk along the water or look into some of the shops!

We certainly came here to experience the lightly fried, and deliciously powder sugar-dusted beignets, and we got what we wanted! We decided to have a small lunch before trying out the beignets, and we all enjoyed our meals! We kept things light with salads, but overall there was quite a bit of seating on the water, which offered spectacular views, and a relaxing get away from the busy Savannah streets. So, if you're looking for some delicious beignets with praline, then Huey's is the place to go!

It was a very busy Thursday night when we came in for dinner. Surprisingly, we were seated with no wait! They definitely pack you in, but not uncomfortably close. Even though it was extremely busy, it didn't seem so loud that you couldn't have a conversation. Our server came out quickly and took our drink order. Upon her return, we were ready to order. I ordered the Pastor Pesto and my son ordered the Pasta Jambalaya. The portion sizes were great. They probably should use a bigger bowl for the Pasta Jambalaya. There's so much, it's difficult to utilize the spoon to twirl an appropriate amount and not have to take a giant bite. We ordered the beignets and I DEFINITELY recommend getting them WITH the praline sauce. We will definitely be back!

Tried Huey's for a late lunch. Pasta jambalaya was very good. No unique taste to the sauce though and wish there had been. Spouse had an etoufee dish which she also liked. She also had a salad which was large portion wise to share with me. Good attentive service. Had a nice seat for 2 by the window. Dessert were 4 beignets. Best I've had, better than ones I tried in New Orleans.

Lunch with a river view! Our server was attentive and friendly. Complimentary cornbread which was soft and flavorful. Shrimp Po'Boy with fries was perfectly crisp and fries were nicely seasoned. The rice and beans were also delicious as well. The salmon was tender, flaky and packed with flavor with rice and spinach. The beignets were the topper just the right amount of powdered sugar. Definitely recommend this place!

I was surprised to see that on a Saturday morning there was no wait for this place for Brunch as I heard it was amazing for this meal. We got sat immediately with a great view of the river and the place feels cozy. I ordered the Chicken Pain Perdue with a side of the breakfast potato. The chicken dish was under the sweet section but everything named for it was savory so I was shocked to see that maybe the sweet part of it was the pounds of powdered sugar they add on top of it which wasn't listed on the menu. It definitely made me lose my appreciate with how sweet it was with the sugar but otherwise, the chicken and french toast itself tasted great and the breakfast potatoes helped with the sweetness for sure. Our waitress forgot to bring our silverware when we got sat so we had to wait a bit for that after the food was served and she didn't check up on us much.

Was riding the hop on hop off trolley and was given a heads up about Huey's. Nice place-clean-lots of friendly staff and comfortable seating. I chose a bar seat and had a Savannah Sour to start brunch. It was so hard to choose food but i knew the beignets had to be a part of it. They were perfectly fried and hollow-just right to pour the amazing praline sauce in. The entire plate was dusted with light powdered sugar. My main was the eggs Sardou-eggs covered in artichoke, spinach and a light lemony hollandaise. Great views through the big windows out to the waterfront. Def recommend!

I'm going to be the (slight) outlier here. Hueys was good but not Very good. I was hoping for outstanding Cajun food and I received pretty good Cajun food. The fried okra comes in long pieces and can be VERY difficult to eat. The red beans and rice were ok but I didn't find any sausage in our servings. My buddy really liked his fried oyster PO Boy. My shrimp etoufee was decent but different. It was a creamy cheesy style etoufee as opposed to a rue based etoufee. The beer selections were limited as was the wine options. Our server was nice but not easily available and we were there early in the evening so it wasn't very busy at the time. I will probably give another local Cajun restaurant a try for comparison next time.

First time visiting Savannah, Georgia and of course seafood should be the big deal. Huey's is right on the river along the cobblestone road. The upstairs was loud so I opted for the dining room below. Still beautiful. Never had fried okra before and they were delicious! Had the crab cakes with a salad, too. Worth it. Service was excellent and low keyed, just perfect.

We took a little weekend trip to Savannah and I'm so glad I found this place on Google suggestions for restaurants. Unfortunately, I enjoyed my food so much that I did not take pictures of it, but the salmon with the grits was amazing and the beignets are to live for. I forgot our waiter's name, but he was the one throwing it back in the kitchen and making those beignets for almost all the tables around us. Not a beat was missed and I definitely come back !

We stopped here for breakfast while in town, and had a wonderful experience! We got there shortly after they had opened and were able to be seated immediately. The service was amazing, our server was attentive and able to answer any questions we had! The restaurant environment was neat, as the windows could open to allow for an "outdoor" feel! The food came out quickly, was fresh and made to order! We really enjoyed our meal here, and it was a great way to start the day! I would definitely come back if we were in town again, and recommend this restaurant to others who are visiting savannah!

Huey's promises New Orleans-inspired cuisine, but unfortunately, it fell short during our visit. We ordered the combo fried shrimp and oysters, and it was a huge letdown. The fried oysters were riddled with bits of shell, making them inedible. Literally every piece of oyster had shell in it. There were more crumbs of breading than actual protein on the plate. What we thought was a shrimp was just breading with nothing in it. The shrimp were okay--nothing special--but lacked the bold seasoning you'd expect from New Orleans-style cooking. Definitely wouldn't recommend this dish. The seafood linguini fared slightly better, with a generous amount of protein (shrimp, chicken, and andouille sausage). The sausage was tasty, but the dish was heavily tomato-forward and lacked the spice and depth you'd hope for. The bread served alongside it was stale, which didn't help. The service was another issue. Most of the wait staff seemed out of it--many appeared high, and the smell lingered, which was off-putting. Service was polite but slow and not very sharp. Granted, it was the Saturday before Christmas, but it still didn't leave a good impression. What saves Huey's from a complete miss is its location. The riverfront view from the big windows is stunning, and it's clear that's the main draw. I can see this being a decent spot for drinks by the water--the bar looked well-stocked--but for the price, the food and experience don't justify a return trip. If you're hungry and looking for good food, I'd say look elsewhere.

Food was yum! Service was good too! We enjoyed the location and getting to walk around and see the shops!

This place is absolutely fantastic for breakfast. If you're in this area with all the choices, CHOOSE THIS ONE. It's so cute, right on the river, service was excellent, and the food was great. I had the crab cake benedict, and it was perfect. Lots of crab, perfect poached egg, creamy hollandaise. And it came with these amazing potatoes! I've never had potatoes like these for breakfast - they were like loaded smashed potatoes with tons of butter and seasoned perfectly. Yum! My brother had the chicken and waffles, and both of us thought it was the best version we've ever had. Real, homemade lightly breaded and fried chicken tenders with a perfect waffle and this amazing sriracha maple syrup. If I lived here, I'd be here all the time. A gem.

Went for a Late lunch - shrimp poorboy sandwich - shrimp were tender and lightly fried , French baguette was fresh and the overall a very good sandwich , fries were ok but not great- right on the riverfront with a view of ships, tourist walking by , etc - our server did a good job . Picture doesn't do the sandwich justice

We enjoyed dinner here. The atmosphere was lively and loud on a busy night. I very much enjoyed the shrimp étouffée and hub had the pasta jambalaya, both entrees big enough to share. We took some warm beignets to go, which were luscious. Service was kind and efficient. Recommend.

Beignets and side of pecan sauce were good! I've had better in New Orleans but I wasn't disappointed here. My disappointment is that they added gratuity to a to go order. No dine in service was received so it wasn't justified in my opinion. Moreover they add 2% for credit card charges. A bit sneaky.. I wish I'd have known or I would have dined in and brought cash.

The waitress was very attentive and we enjoyed the food. The table placement is a bit crowded and they need more space. A party of 2 gets sent to the wall on a tiny table not big enough to have plate placements.

Tooling around Savannah with our friends who live there we stopped here for lunch. So delicious. The fried green tomato's.....OMG! Everyone enjoyed their mains as well. Very tasty smashed potatoes. I recommend if you are spending any time in town.

The interior had a cool vibe reminiscent of the French Quarter and looked right out onto the water. Service was attentive and friendly. Visually my French toast looked great, appeared crispy on the outside and custardy on the inside, but unfortunately the inside was more doughy in texture. I sampled all the pieces to see if any achieved the custard like texture, but none did. The pecan butter was tasty, but I was a little off put by packaged maple syrup (Smuckers I believe). My husband really enjoyed his traditional breakfast of eggs and bacon. I did really like my cup of fruit, which was fresh and delicious. The coffee was very good also.

Located in Savannah next to the riverwalk is a great little restaurant Huey's. Serving one of the best Muffuletta's ever! The eatery has a large selection of fresh fish and outstanding creole dishes. The red beans rice were great as was the seafood platter shrimp catfish and oysters. Everything was delicious. Don't forget to try the beignets! Service was outstanding, we had a party of nine with three of that party being toddlers. Our server was fast efficient and very tolerant! She took our drink orders and appetizers choice of app Fried Green Tomatoes We had ample time to choose our lunch choices. When the food was delivered every plate was correct! Great service! The ambience was laid back the eatery was clean and not loud, no music. Huey's was great and the restrooms were clean! I'd recommend stopping by, even if it's just for one on their outstanding Bloody Mary's!

I don't think I've ever had better service in Savannah. Loved their restaurant by the river. Excellent quaint little (quite big, actually) southern style restaurant. We went for breakfast and I was pleasantly surprised with their menu. I had eggs Benedict over crab-cakes, accompanied by green fried tomatoes- oh my, they were delicious. Great prices and nice ambience.

Delicious food! I had the shrimp and grits which I enjoyed and my hubby had the shrimp and scallop linguini. He said it was the best he ever had. I stole a bite and I have to agree. The sauce was light with tons of flavor. The service was good and the restaurant was small but cute. Lauren was our server and she was personable, attentive and efficient.

By far my favorite meal on our trip. While I do have a passion for New Orleans food this was a pleasant surprise. I ended up having a muffalatta sandwich for breakfast and it was amazing. The break is light and fluffy and the olive mix is a delight. The beignet was fresh and hot. The fried chicken Benedict was heavy but delicious. Could have used more hollandaise sauce but still delicious. We went back for a lunch time snack to get the BBQ shrimp. Different than traditional but so yummy. I highly recommend.

Huey's was incredible! We spent a day on the Riverwalk and stopped in to grab drinks -- great decision! I went with the honeysuckle lemonade. It was delicious! Just as described, I was very satisfied with the portfolio of flavors. We sat on the outside patio and it was very lively and fun. Afterwards, our server came to check on us and provided a great selections of similar drinks that I might enjoy which was super helpful! I can't speak to the food, but I can say that the service and the drinks were 10/10. Any river day is not complete without a trip to Huey's!

I love Hueys! We arrived for breakfast at about 8:30 and were seated immediately. Our server was wonderful. We asked her favorite. She immediately said the chicken and pain perdu. I ordered that. My boyfriend got the catfish and eggs. We also ordered beignets with praline sauce. Everything tasted fresh and made to order. We will definitely be back!

I originally came here for the beignets as I read a lot of reviews on them and wanted to see what the buzz was about. After looking over the menu before arriving, I already knew what I wanted. The shrimp & grits and the beignets! Let me tell you this place did not disappoint. The restaurant is cute and the vibes were "jazzy" and classic. The hostess was very accommodating as we rolled in 9 deep. They were able to set a couple of tables together and we were seated quickly. There was plenty to choose from the menu but not too much to get confused. This restaurant predominantly serves seafood but they also had burger options as well. My coworker ended up with a big juicy burger and she loved it. The waiter was very attentive and we were served quickly for a big group. The food and drinks: - lemon Drop martini: Light and refreshing, I loved how they put their own spin on it and added a dollop of Italian ice in it - chocolate peanut butter martini: I got this as a dessert drink to have with my beignets...it was good but wish I got an espresso martini instead. The chocolate overpowered the peanut butter and tasted more like a alcoholic chocolate milk beverage - shrimp and grits: delicious! Came in a bowl with creamy grits (less cheesy) and shrimp was perfectly seasoned. Would get again! - beignets (3): Originally was going to share a plate of beignets with one of my friends but decided not to and so glad I didn't. They were TO DIE FOR! They were perfectly made, light and fluffy! With the right amount of powdered sugar too! And the side caramel sauce was perfect! I think they added praline nuts as well and it add a special touch! Would DEFINITELY get again! If you are ever in Savannah Georgia and looking for a place with good food and delicious beignets! Don't hesitate, just come here!

Very busy due to holiday weekend on River street, but we were able to sit right down at the bar! Food was okay, nothing great. Came out pretty quick even with a busy dining room. There are much better options a few blocks away. Best thing we had was the gumbo - Everything else was pretty plain. Even the red beans and rice unfortunately. I would like to come back to try the beignets as we didn't get a chance. Space was very crowded, they have a lot of tables in the dining room, but it is cute for sure.

Came back for breakfast before we headed back home and I am so glad I did. The wait wasn't long at all considering it's a Monday morning but we got seated right away. I got the seafood omelette with potatoes and a coffee. I think I saw another review where it was Colombian coffee but it was so good and refreshing. A great way to start my morning. The omelette was HUGE and had a good deal of filling with crab, shrimp and scallops. It was fresh, good texture and tasted even better with hot sauce. Whatever the sauce was they put in it was so creamy and actually went perfectly with the potatoes. It was a perfect breakfast. I couldn't leave Savannah without trying the beignets and omg I don't regret it. They were buttery, soft and fresh. Sweet from the powdered sugar and the pecan glaze was so perfect when dipped, not smothered on top. I wish I could have 50 of those things. Huey's is a must try if you're visiting Savannah. We will be back.

Stop #1 for the night in Savannah Georgia. Because the restaurant is do friendly, we ate here. The staff was very friendly and after a couple of cocktails, I ordered shrimp ettufee which was loaded with shrimp and a nice little kick to it. Took a picture but it did not come out but I recommend this popular restaurant along the river bank

After stopping into Hueys on a random Monday, they did not disappoint. I have never been on a weekday, so it was nice to get in and get a table right away. It was nice and toasty for a cold January day. The food was delicious and flavorful. Our waitress was always amazing!
