LOVE'S SEAFOOD & STEAKS

First time visiting. The ambiance was nice. It was a warm and inviting vibe. Price was on par with quality of service and food. Our waitress was Toi. Loved how she was knowledgeable of the menu and paid attention to her customers. Never got the feeling that she was dining with us or forgot about us. We had the fried green tomatoes as an appetizer (10 out of 10). Fresh, the right amount of firmness, and not greasy. And the stuffed flounder as entrees.

I’ve never had a steak that was worth the price you typically pay for a steak. This place changed that this is now my wife and I second day of eating here in a row. The atmosphere is amazing, yesterday we had Blossom as a server today we have Toi they are both amazing servers. The cooks know what they are doing and they can cook a steak.

We went on a Thursday night. Parking is, a bit difficult. Was told it would be a 20 min, turned out more like 5 to be seated, and 20 to get our drinks. The food was delicious.

We had a 2 1/2 hour wait as a party of 10. We enjoyed every moment. We were checked on during the wait. Catelyn along with staff at the front was very fun with us as we joked around. Toyrianna is a freaking star. A great treasure to have. The good goes without note. It has never been disappointing. I absolutely Love this place!!!

Went here last night, waited well over an hour for our food and the majority of it was ice cold. I got the stuffed flounder. Which by the way its NOT "stuffed" had some kind of crab & bread mixture layed on top. The waiter rarely came to check on us. We waited about 20 minutes for water...they said they were waiting on cups! The restaurant wasn't even full! I spent almost $100 and the best thing i had was the hushpuppies. Needless to say I wouldn't return.

Love’s Seafood is the gold standard of seafood restaurants. My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful Valentine’s Day dinner here. The lobster tail was cooked to perfection and my wife’s fried shrimp were wonderful. The red rice is always a favorite. Our server Toy was excellent. She was so attentive and so friendly! I have eaten here all my life. Love’s never disappoints.

It's a nice southern seafood place on the water. My wife loved the shrimp and grits

While visiting family in Savannah we were looking for a nice seafood restaurant and we found Loves. We were seated quickly and drink orders were taken. Food orders were taken when the drinks were brought out. Our orders came and the table had fried pickles, onion rings, grilled fish, burgers, hush puppies, crab stuffed shrimp as well as my request for pan seared fish in olive oil and steamed broccoli. Food was cooked to order and tasted good. I had no allergic reactions to my meal which I am happy about. Thanks for your attention to details and yes the sunset view was spectacular.

Love's is a staple of Savannah. Always good food, great service and great views of the Ogeechee River. On last trip there, we started with the Oysters Rockefeller. Holy cow were they delicious! Six baked oysters covered in cheeses and other goodness. Wow! They are now an automatic order next time I go. For entree, I had the surf and turf- an 8 oz filet mignon with 5 oz lobster tail ($49). Both were cooked perfectly. I could cut the steak with a fork. My beautiful date had the stuffed flounder. Very large portion and also very good. ($38?). Anyhow- Esmeralda, our server, was very attentive and friendly. We sat in the window area that looks out on to the river. Very nice views- but note that it can be a bit noisy out there thanks to the tile floors and big windows. Just an fyi. For you trivia buffs- Loves is featured in Forrest Gump as the club Jenny works at. Enjoy!

A local recommended this place to us and it was great! It's about a 25 minute drive out of the historic district. Food was fresh and well prepared. Came with a great view and the staff was friendly. We tried the fried green tomatoes, fried shrimp, and catfish. Prices were great for the quality. *I love coleslaw with fried fish but theirs is more like a sweet relish, heads up

Great view of the lake. Great service. Meal was disappointing Good Oyster's Rockefeller. Great baked potato (huge and fluffy) Bland fried okra. Gumbo not good (tomatoes not cooked) Bone in catfish were like minnows. (Over fried and, tasteless)

Food was served quickly and it was hot. The ambiance was amazing late evening and great weather. The staff was friendly and polite.

We had blackened flounder and the blackened shrimp. The food was pretty good. The service was not good. It was a slow Thursday and it took an hour to get our food. Kind of spoiled the meal.

I went on a Saturday night with a group of 4 and while it was busy we didn't have to wait more than a couple of minutes for a table. We were served quickly and the orders were all correct. The food is the real star here. The seafood is out of this world and I will recommend this restaurant to everyone. I also recommend requesting a table near the windows to get a good view of the water. It's very nice.

OMG, we loved this place! We were on our way north to Maine from Florida, looking for a place to stop for Mother's Day. So we Yelped Love's. Of course they were packed on Mother's Day, but we got seats at the bar right away. Our servers at the bar were great, Jersey and Biddeford (as I call her) such friendly and welcoming service, and the food was great. Warning, the portions are ridiculously large. We will make this a stop on our future Snowbird travels!

Love's Seafood is the kind of place that reminds you why Southern coastal dining is so special. Tucked along the Ogeechee River, the setting alone makes it worth the trip--peaceful water views, Spanish moss draped trees, and that easygoing Savannah charm that makes you want to linger. Seafood here is fresh, flavorful, and served in hearty Southern portions. The fried shrimp and oysters are crispy perfection, with just the right seasoning and a golden crunch that doesn't overpower the natural taste of the seafood. Their catfish is another standout--flaky, tender, and full of flavor. If you're in the mood for something indulgent, the Low Country Boil is a must-try: a steaming platter of shrimp, sausage, corn, and potatoes that feels like a true coastal feast. Beyond the seafood, Love's also delivers on classics like hush puppies, baked potatoes,cornbread, all made with the kind of down-home flavor you'd expect from a family-run Southern staple. Service is warm and welcoming, with staff who treat you like a regular whether it's your first visit or your fiftieth. Prices are reasonable considering both the quality and the portions, and the atmosphere is relaxed enough for families but still special enough for a night out. Love's Seafood isn't just a restaurant--it's an experience of Savannah's food culture and hospitality. Whether you're local or just passing through, it's the kind of spot that keeps you coming back for more.

My first time here was for Valentine's Day. The Service was great. The ambiance was very romantic for that specific day. We didn't get the water view due to it being super pack but I was very okay with our seating placement. The drinks were 8/10 more water than slushy. The lobster Alfredo was so good the second time. Unfortunately I did have find a piece of hair in my food the first time but the manager came straight to us to apologize and he also made me aware of what was going on with my order the second time they cooked it. The oyster Rockefeller was probably my favorite out of everything.

I don't know why I keep giving this place another chance. I'm done. Always terrible service. Food is fair at best and portions are inconsistent.

Great food here. Salmon blacken was perfect. New to the area. The menu has a variety of selections. The service once again was top notch. I have to give a shout out to the person that made my Carmel Cheesecake dessert. I believe that server said a Miss Pat. I've never had a cheesecake like this. Our Server was awesome for recommending the dessert. Thanks was making our dinner perfect.

Visiting friends from out of town and they recommended going here so off we went. Not good. Waitress was all over the place. Forgetting simple requests from salad dressing to correct side orders. My stuffed crab snapper was luke warm at best ( she told me careful the plate is hot), she had to bring back my baked potato that was supposed to be " loaded" and it still wasn't right. Ironic that was the best part of my meal. I normally don't complain but she only had 3 tables at the time. We waited 12 minutes before we even were acknowledged by her. My friends were embarrassed and apologized to me. I took it in stride. DO BETTER

Food was amazing, , nice atmosphere and great service. Will definitely be back.? Good good food

Visited for my 2023 birthday. Today visited for Saint Patrick's Day 2024 March 16th. Scored Flounder is always a hit. Lightly Fried Oysters was amazing as well.

Discretely located off Hwy 17, along side the Ogeechee River, nestle right up against the Chatham County Wetlands Preserve. For this visit we dined outside, but comfortable inside dining available. Start with spinach artichoke dip & some crispy triangled-shaped chips. Wash it down with your favorite drink from the bar, tap or fountain. Now gorge yourself on stuffed flounder, grilled salmon, ribeye steak, seafood platter, chicken Alfredo, just to name a few; and don't forget your two sides. Friendly service, seafood ambiance. Couple down sides in our visit was long wait for food & long wait on refills. Other than that the food is delicious and the views are beautiful. Enjoy.

The servers were amazing! The restaurant was clean. Decor was ok. The food was good. The shrimp could have been hotter. The red rice was good. The green beans are from a can, not fresh. The salmon was amazing. Great hush puppies!

If I could give zero stars, I would. Waited 50 mins BEFORE we even received our food. The garden salad came out first with coleslaw side. Odd pairing to start with. Waited 15 more mins before main meal arrived. My blackened mahi-mahi had nice flavor but was over cooked. Couldn't even finish it. The bed of alreadro the mahi-mahi came with was subpar. The fresh Parmesan cheese was the only binding ingredient that slightly made it tolerable but the Alfredo sauce was not creamy, fresh or palletable. Sorry but canned ragu would have been better. My fiancés seafood was heavily breaded, he couldn't finish his crab cake, the coleslaw- we had to add table sugar packets to help but it didn't . KFC was better! Just utterly disappointing and this was our date night so we got dressed up for this and paid $89 for crap we waited for a very long time while other tables received their food before us even after arriving after us! Very upset!

The best shrimp and grits I have ever had. Periodt. I want to drown myself in a bowl of their shrimp and grits. I could eat it for every meal. Amazing.

Everyone was friendly & professional! Had a 25 min wait and it was worth it. Started with fried pickles- best I've had. I ordered crab legs & hubby had a steak- both were cooked perfectly and delicious! Servers were attentive and friendly! Definitely will be back!

Was so delighted and surprised by this find! Truly a hidden gem. Nothing fancy smancy, but the food, service and prices were excellent! This may be new new favorite Savannah seafood joint!

How fortunate to find this gem while stopping overnight in Savannah. The blackened Mahi over Alfredo, mushrooms and capers was lovely.

This place has best oysters Rockefeller in the world! Great low country boil. I went for a 2nd time. Stuck with the low country boil and the oysters Rockefeller. The low country boil was great. Plenty for 2. Omgosh the Oysters Rockefeller. I may have to do this as my main someday. My friend enjoyed the super cold Chardonnay. Waitress was lovely. Perfect amount of attention. I'll be back!

What a find! 20 min out of Savannah is Loves. On the water. Busy!! We got a table for 6 right away. Short staffed but manager helped in all capacities. Our service was very good and with smiles! Food was great. Hubby had scallops and was large amount and perfect! Drink - lemon berry refresher from bar was divine! Was full all evening as we got to eat and see sunset! We will be back!!!

Great place for shrimp boil. Outside seating is a pleasant setting. Plenty of good quality fresh eats.

Had a wonder lunch at Loves. We went Sunday after church, and they actually have the lunch menu on Sundays. This is my husband's favorite place to have bone in catfish, I love their peal and eat shrimp, and their hush puppies are divine! We had a table right by the window looking out on the river, which was an added bonus. Service was fast and friendly. Love, Loves!

Great location on the river, excellent fried green tomatoes. Sometimes the service is a little slow, but everyone is so friendly

My husband and I never leave negative reviews because we understand how hard it is to run a restaurant. However, this was such a bad food experience, we felt the owner(s) should know in case they simply are not aware. My "Harvest Moon" margarita had no alcohol in it and the flavor was very unpleasant. The syrup around the rim was actually disgusting and salt had been incorporated into the syrup which only added to its poor taste. The gumbo was slimy and had no flavor. It tasted like a total mush of various things. I can only imagine the slimy consistency was from okra that hadn't been properly cleaned (at least I hope so). The fried shrimp were okay and my husband said the mahi was good. My fish wrap was not good. Some of the fries were not completely cooked. My kids didn't even eat them all which is really saying something. The view is amazing and the staff are nice; otherwise, I do not recommend eating or drinking here until some adjustments are made. I'm sorry to be that direct but hopefully it is helpful!

Had an amazing dinner at Love's! The waitress we had SarahAnn was funny and made sure we had anything we needed. The food was amazing and we will definitely be coming back again.

Pricy but worth it. Friendly staff. Right on the river. Everything is FRESH I'll gladly pay top dollar for great seafood and this was great. Thanks to the Loves and their team.

This is a casual seafood place that is off the beaten path and away from the tourist districts. Make no mistake, this is a locals hangout. It's located on the banks of the Ogeechee river and has beautiful views. In the summer they setup tables outside on the grass, but they also have outdoor tent seating year round (or almost her round). Our Favorites: - The fried shrimp here are my favorite. Super tender and tasty. Pick your two sides and you are good to go! This is what I order 90% of the time. It comes with both a delicious tarter sauce and a cocktail sauce. The tarter sauce is super delicious and has some seasoning such as garlic. - The shrimp and grits are the best in the greater Savannah area! Their menu claims they are second best (LOL). They are slightly spicy, super creamy, and covered in a tasty oil. They have sausage and bacon pieces in mixed in and it's topped with fresh green onion and green peppers. - Key Lime Pie is the real thing. It's white and slightly tart, not a sugar bomb. They drizzle some green something on top to satisfy those that think key lime pie should be green. - Our favorite wine on the menu is the Kendall Jackson Chardonnay. As a wine appreciator, the menu doesn't have much selection of fine wine. This Chardonnay is a good pick from the selection. - On the critical side, Loves is known for being understaffed with their waitstaff. This leads to slow wait service and shutting down sections of seating areas, resulting in long wait times to be seated. It's best to arrive on early side of dinner (5ish) to get seated without a 30-40 min wait.

Frist you well love the view of the river. When the weather is good I recommend setting outside. All the food was great, came out in a timely manner , and hot. They was out of a lot of things on the menu, maybe because of a busy weekend. Also parking can be fun. The oysters Rockefeller was amazing.

Stopped into Love's Seafood on my overnight stay in Savannah. The food and service were excellent. I wished that I had been more hungry as the seafood platters I saw being served looked delicious. I chose the fried green tomato appetizer and it didn't disappoint. Neither did the tart, tasty margarita I had from the drink specials menu. The star of the day was the side order of hush puppies. The best I've ever had and this southern gal has had more than her fare share! Crispy, fluffy and flavorful. I'd return to dine just for them but I don't think I'd miss out on the seafood. The prices are reasonable for the plentiful amounts served. It's not a fancy dining experience but a good old fashioned family feed.

Had a very nice dinner. First time having low country boil. The server was great and had a great view of river.

We find our way to Love's anytime we are in the greater Savannah area. Great service, wonderful scenery, and food cooked to perfection every time. Fried oysters are a must!

I was in Richmond Hill and saw Love's from the road. I brought my family there (turns out they'd already been a few months ago and were trying to find the place again). Gorgeous ambiance! Love the riverside setting, gorgeous lawn, picturesque complete with swings hanging from the trees and pretty lights. Oh, and the food! First time I went there, I enjoyed a cup of gumbo and the oysters rockefeller (massive serving!). Great cocktails. Second time I went was for a group special event. Very gracious and accommodating towards our fairly large crowd. I enjoyed the fried green tomatoes and alligator fingers. The fried pickles were too salty for my particular palate. Nonetheless it was a foodie adventure and fun trying foods I've never tasted before! Will be back again for more fried green tomatoes!

Wow!!!! I found this place while looking for local restaurants in the area while on vacation and I'm so glad we went cause the food was AMAZING!!! My husband got the ribeye and it was truly the best steak we have ever had! The flavor was WOW!! We got the spinach dip for an appetizer and it was amazing! I got the lobster Alfredo and the chunks of lobster were huge! Highly recommend this place!!!! This place has been in business for 75 years and I can see why! Wished we lived local so we could go back! It will be on our list for next time we are in town!! AMAZING!!!!

Best meal I've had in several years. Steak was excellent. Wifes grouper was outstanding. Five stars on everything

Love's is life, people! I stumbled upon this unassuming local joint after a day at Tybee Island and I'm so glad I did! Turns out some Love's fried shrimp, hush puppies, Savannah Red rice w/ cheese and bacon, and alligator nuggets is everything a growing boy needs! I didn't eat at the restaurant. I took a chance and ordered everything online, and the takeout was quick and easy. The smell from the bag was promising a great meal and the bag was right! OMG was this good! Nothing better well-seasoned food. My shrimp was *perfect*! I didn't even know what Red Rice was, but it was good too! Money well spent on a great meal. I'll definitely be back.

Beautiful setting especially at sunset! Great atmosphere and excellent service. The menu had a lot to choose from and the food was delicious!

Good food, great service. I would recommend this place and would visit again. I got the fried seafood platter, maybe too big a plate for one but it was delicious. I did find a long brown hair in the crab ball when I was almost finished. The waitress was kind enough to bring a new platter but I was stuffed at that point. I think I'll try the crab legs next time. They looked delicious!

One of our very Best Favorites If you need to host a party or Special Occasion, Loves makes it easy and reasonable

The food was delicious, and plentiful! Tyler was amazing in his care for us and the view was enjoyable! Highly recommend!

Our service was great, the food was good as well! The dynamite shrimp and the crab cake appetizer was delicious! My husband and I both ordered the 16 ounce rib eye steak. I was not personally a fan of the charred steak I received my husband loved his. This was an expensive place but majority of the food was excellent.

Great food! Service matches food! Great scenery... lake view! Snow country boil is a meal for three days! Our food was delicious! Fried green tomatoes are a must! I highly recommend this restaurant if you are hungry for seafood! April, our waitress, was the best!

Food and service were Excellent! What a lovely restaurant and beautiful grounds and scenery!

Out of Prime Rib, Filet, Crab Cakes and Stuffed Flounder on a Sunday evening at 5pm. Worked around that, but one person of our party of 6 received her food and finished eating it before the rest of our food was delivered. Waitress seemed uninterested when we mentioned to her that we were waiting. Once our food did arrive, the waitress asked what was missing, a few sides. She returned with the sides, sat them at the end of the table for others to pass. Food was mediocre at best! Same with the checks; laid them down at one end of the table for the group to rifle through and decide to whom which ticket belonged!! IF, I come back, it will be fir a happy hour drink, no food!

It seems our favorite seafood places in Savannah are closing down but Loves is still around although not as good as it used to be. The shrimp and scallops (fried) were good but the breading, especially the scallops, was a bit soggy and did not stay on the scallops very well. I understand fried scallops are a difficult cook, it takes just the right amount of cook time to not over cook them. The meat itself was perfect, cooked to perfection, but the breading removed itself. The fries could have been a bit hotter and crisper and the salad, ok. My wifes' shrimp and grits were excellent. Our server and the service was impeccable. I wish I remembered her name to give her a shoutout. Overall it was an OK meal but nothing I would recommend as being great anymore. I know prices have gone up and I have not caught up to the new "cost of everything" but I personally feel Loves prices have exceeded the market for what you get.

We have patronized this restaurant for over 15yrs, the food and service are always good. A pit pricey, but everything is now.

Establishment is only opened certain days for large groups. Parts of Forrest Gump Movie was filmed on this lovely property. The food is served open styled & very delicious. We arrived on Monday in Savannah GA the restaurant was closed except for bus tour groups. After a wonderful dinner there was lots of room to walk & stretch. The sun setting upon the water was stunning. The food was piping hot, beautiful crispy salad, catfish stew, fried shrimp, green beans, baked potato was very filling.
