The Wyld

What a spectacular location! We had a crab roll, fish tacos and a Caesar salad. All the food was delicious and fresh. Had our dog with us and the staff brought him a bowl of water for the table. Lots of seating available including couches with a coffee table, bar seating and regular tables. View of the water is pretty and calm.

This is another area in Savannah that you have to visit. The setting is super cool with eating right on the river. While we sat there eating we saw dolphins in the distance and crab at our feet. The food is unique. Just be warned that the calamari is not fried!! 🤣🤣 Overall it was a really great experience and I would 100% come visit again if I were in Savannah! My ratings: Calamari 6/10 I'm sure it was delicious it's just not what we were expecting. Swordfish taco 10/10 Fried shrimp taco 10/10

Love this hidden gem! Love the ambience and where it’s located. You might miss this place if you don’t have directions. You’ll drive through a neighborhood to get to it. The food… had the Local Fish Tacos and the Crispy Rock Shrimp Tacos. Both were amazing and had lots of flavor! Decided to try the Crispy Okra. Wow!! You have to try those, if available. Their cocktails were good too!

A hidden gem! Visiting Savannah for a few days. Had an opportunity to have dinner here. Great atmosphere by the water. Wonderful food. Had the crispy shrimp it was delicious. Finished off the experience with their key lime pie - they top it off with roasted marshmallow - overall wonderful. Highly recommend. Keep an eye out for the gps directions. Worth the drive!

Absolutely loved this spot and was glad we stumbled upon it. Feels like a hidden gem, although it was very popular. (Get there early, the line gets long, and oysters sell out fast!) Loved the outdoor patio atmosphere, and that it was right at the docks. You could watch people get off their boats with their catches. Food was excellent, drinks were tasty, and the views were beautiful. AND it’s dog friendly!

Super cool spot on the marshes with fresh breeze and shade. I could have sat out there for hours. Only enjoyed drinks, but food looked appetizing! Decent amount of parking but it fills up quickly!

This place is so well done. Simple food done correctly. We had the fried local shrimp which come with fries, both delicious. We also had the crab roll (like a lobster roll). The sandwich was good but I do prefer a lobster roll. We had a side of fried okra at the recommendation of the cashier (you order at the host stand when you first come in). The okra was tasty also. We were told we had to get the frozen painkillers, we ended up getting three. It was probably our favorite cocktail on the trip. We also tried the Mai tai, another well executed drink. The only negative is no server, but I think more and more restaurants will go to this service format as more states do away with tip credits (that’s a story for another day).

THIS PLACE IS JUST TERRIBLE DON'T EVEN BOTHER! Two private chefs passing through Savannah. Staff is angry and or completely disconnected. Food might be decent if it was at least half the price it is. They are only still in business because you can pull up to their dock on your boat and get a mediocre burger for $17. You're in the South and no lemonade? 🍋 There are cheaper ways to enjoy a waterside seat without all the angry staff to "enhance" your serenity. Not to mention the translucent fried shrimp, we spent $90 on a $7 burger, basket of fried clams and translucent shrimp, fries and 2 fish 🐟 tacos that had all the flavor you would expect based on every thing else here = ZERO. Not a single draft beer 🍻 everything is in cans. $8 for a can of Corona. Corona! 🙄🤮The Caesar salad tasted decent, was small and also $17. 🙄Everything is walk up and order at counter or bar, don't make eye contact or they will ignore you longer. This place just needs to shut down.

Fun spot to hang out for the afternoon with an adult beverage or two while enjoying the view and good eats! The ceviche was an excellent appetizer to start then I had the Shrimp Tacos while my wife had the clam strips. All food was cooked properly and tasted good! The service is a bit different than most places as you order at a kiosk then they bring your order to the table. A little different but was affective. I guess a process held in check since COVID. If in Savannah and have a beautiful day and have some time to hang out this is a very good place to do so!

Great ambiance, relaxing atmosphere. Dockside seating with beautiful marsh views. Small indoor dining area above the outside lower seating area, but deck seating is the way to go. Food was good, the wait in line was not long but you order at the entrance before you sit. Choose your own table as well! Bar is stocked well, food is good. Oysters were delicious and our favorite part of the meal. the hot sauce on the fish tacos was great, salsa was fresh and fruity. Beautiful sunset views as well. Enjoy!

Go for the view, stay for the food. Relaxed vibe right on the water with tasty food that isn't just your typical seafood restaurant fare.

Went on a Sunday for lunch. Really good burgers and fried shrimp. Excellent comfort food matched up with a low country setting on a creek south of Savannah a little off the beaten path. All covered outside seating. Full bar. No table service. Line to order food is right when you walk in and it was long. Waited in line for 30+ minutes to order, but food came out quick. Be patient. Really peaceful and worth going if the weather is good.

A bit outside of the city, on a literal dock (that you can bring or watch other bring their boats up to). On a perfectly sunny, this was the place to relax and enjoy lunch and a drink. You order at a kiosk at the front of the restaurant. The menu is small, which I find preferable at this type of restaurant. You order, they give you a number, and they bring it out to your table. The have a bar facing the river and a pour your own for water. We shared a few items, all that we had was great. The crab soup was flavorful, lots of veggies. The shrimp and fry basket had nice crispy and hot fries. The tomato salad was simple and fresh. I noted they had a few herb beds off to the side. We ended with the key lime pie, which was a stand out. We had a great experience, I would return.

Loved it here! The ambiance and service were great. My frozen painkiller was delicious. My mom got a Mai Tai and she enjoyed that as well. The shrimp was tasty. The key lime pie was the perfect end to our meal. We just had an all around great time!

We went to the The Wyld Dock Bar for dinner. It looked like a fun place to try, and friends had been there before and loved it. The restaurant is in the Savannah lowlands, and is a really cool spot. People can drive their boats up to the dock and have some dinner. The view of the lowlands is so pretty. It was really busy, and it is the type of restaurant where you order your food, sit down, and they bring it to you. We found a table on the dockside for the 6 of us (and 2 pups). As we ordered our food, we were informed through both the blocked out items on the menu and the cashier that some of our choices were no longer available. That news may turn some people off, but I thought it was great and a part of the experience. They had a small menu, and only made so much. We were also there on the later end of the night. Even though some of our choices were no longer available, we had much from which to choose. Between the 6 of us, we ordered shrimp tacos, burgers and fries, clam strips, street corn on the cob, and pork tacos. Everything was delicious and just the right amount of food for everyone. We are looking forward to returning to The Wyld in the future!

Loved the atmosphere of the wyld. My frozen pain killer was fab. Everything we ate was great. The service was good. We enjoyed having drinks and food on the water

Super cool place! Definitely a locals vibe down by the marsh/river. You can even boat there if you have the means. Okra and Ceviche for apps, Crab Roll, Fresh Local shrimp and Fish Tacos for our mains. Order at the counter but super friendly staff. Will go again when I'm back in town.

I'm not trying to hurt the place which is why I gave it four stars but I haven't eaten there. They decided to close at 7 on a Saturday night after Thanksgiving when their website said they were open until 9, their recorded phone line said they were open, and no one picked up the phone to tell me different when I called twice. They don't take reservations and this is probably one reason why, so they can close early at will. But we took a long and expensive Uber there and then had to take it somewhere else. The people still there said it was cold so they closed. But they are open all winter and I saw pics of tents and references to heater so I figured they had a plan. I mean, it's supposed to be good food, but it's way out of the way and if they close when they feel like it I guess you have to eat dinner at 4 to be safe.

The setting on an outside dock setting is absolutely gorgeous. The menu is a little limited but we enjoyed the crab roll. Kids were wanting fish and chips and we were surprised it was not offered on the menu. You order your food and drinks as you enter the establishment and find a seat to enjoy the beautiful views. A server brings your food out to you once it is ready. Everyone was friendly and helpful. I did get an earthly feel and was very relaxed during my visit.

Location location location- marsh views are fantastic. The people are friendly. The wait was long and the food was meh. Ordered oysters, fish tacos, shrimp tacos, and Caesar salad. Salad was good (bacon helps so much!) fish tacos were bland. Shrimp was good but paired with a too sweet mango salsa. The Wyld G&T was anything but wyld. It tasted like a strawberry and watermelon jolly rancher. Perhaps this was an off night. This place came recommended. We left unsatisfied

The Wyld was awesome! First, the atmosphere is sooo nice and relaxing that I literally told my friends "I love the vibes here!" as soon as we walked up. I also loved the music and found myself Shazaaming a few songs, which always factors into my opinion of a restaurant, haha. Just keep in mind that it's outdoors by a marsh so if you're a magnet for mosquitos (like I am) just come prepared for that. It's a casual restaurant: you don't need a reservation and there's no table service. You go order your food at a stand with a menu that you can see when you get to the front. A small suggestion for them would be to have either menus that you can grab to decide what you're ordering before getting to the front of the line or having the menu displayed somewhere so that you can decide what to get from a distance as you approach. But the girl taking our order was super patient and friendly. Then you grab a number and they bring the food to your table. Second, the food and drinks were on point! We ordered: - Fries: thick and crispy on the outside but soft on inside - Ceviche: the star dish at the table! I only wish the portion was bigger - Sliced tomatoes: refreshing, with a slight bite, nothing to write home about - Shrimp tacos: I didn't realize they were breaded/fried (my bad, since the menu says crispy), which isn't my preference, but I still enjoyed them, especially with the pico de gallo (I left out the sauces) - Fish tacos: I was coveting my friend's fish tacos, which looked delicious, definitely plan to order this for myself next time - Clam roll: my other friend got this and she seemed to really enjoy it - A bottle of sauvignon blanc, which was lovely - My friend ordered a cocktail that I wish I had ordered too- it was delicious and I believe it was a flavored margarita (maybe watermelon?) The Wyld was by far my favorite restaurant during our weekend trip to Savannah and I can't wait to go back next time I'm in town!

We spent the day in Savannah and I asked my chef friend from Savannah, John Benhase (@chefbenhase great guy - give him a follow), on some recommendations. He recommended The Wyld Dock Bar (@thewylddockbar) located on Livingston Ave with a beautiful marsh view. All food and drink orders are done via tab. Give them your card and order to your heart's content and close out your tab at the end. I got the Clam Roll. Flash-fried clam strips, horseradish tartar sauce, arugula, pickled red onions all in a buttered and toasted bun with a side of fries. This was a beautiful roll. Crispy, creamy, acidic, perfect. I also got a Peach Salad. South Carolina peaches, crispy pancetta, feta cheese, locally-grown mixed greens, and purple onions all tossed in a shallot thyme vinaigrette. I love this salad and all future salads will be measured against it. The SC peaches are just now in season so they were bursting in juiciness and flavor. I thought the raw purple onions would be too much, but they were tamed by the vinaigrette. The feta added a tangy bite. The whole salad was an ethereal experience in textures and flavors. It was bitter with the mixed greens but also sweet with the peaches. For dessert, I got the strawberry crisp served with house-made buttermilk ice cream. Wonderfully sweet and tangy. Next time you're in Savannah, go check out The Wyld.

When people say "here for the views" this place is the true definition of that saying. I got fish tacos and they were the saddest fish tacos for $18 As seen on the picture the piece of fish on that tortilla is barely enough for a half tortilla. $18 is way too much for those tacos. So yeah, go where for the view but not the food.

The atmosphere is great here. But when it comes to the food it's lack luster relative to the price, you can't beat this location tbh. The only staff member who has a positive attitude is the front person you order from(shout out, they're incredible). The food is good, but over priced and small portions, feels very catered towards tourists and not so much the local crowd. Eat before you come because you'll pay $21 for 6 tiny oysters. (great quality oysters, but severely over priced when you're a local and have more knowledge on the area) Enjoyed my time here simply because of the location and the views. also the fries are incredible. Drinks are decent and interesting, but nothing to write home about. You pay for the location here. i'd only return if I had out of state visitors and maybe special occasions where i'm willing to spend $$$.

Oh my gosh. I'm in heaven right now eating at Wyld Dock Bar. Tucked away on the edge of the salt marsh, I enjoyed my local caught shrimp and my sweetheart had a crab roll. All the was terrific! I'd also highly recommend the Painkiller Slushie. Coconut and nutmeg! Wonderful combination. Highly recommend for the marsh views and wildlife adding to the ambiance. I'm coming back!

LOVEEEEE! You order ahead before you sit and then find your seats yourself. The service was great and the whole ambiance was so beautiful! Very relaxing. The food was incredible! The shrimp had so much flavor and was cooked so well. The fries were also amazing. Crisped perfectly. Also the Caesar salad was perfect too. I had no complaints. I also couldn't stop eating because it was just that good. Also I don't remember what drink we ordered, but I asked for the sweetest alcoholic drink on the menu and this is what it is. It was 10/10, tasted like juice, could not stop drinking it. I loveeeeddd this place and would definitely come back!

Great location on the water and very laid back while being extremely comfortable. I had the Trout Dip and the Crab Roll and it was great. Will definitely return but next time after the 12 o'clock mad lunch opening rush is over.

Lovely deck w creek view it for outdoor dining. Exceptional "snacking or picnic foods" made to order. Fish specials. Beer & wine bar. Boat access. Car park. Get directions! Can even catch a glimpse of Cape Caneveral rocket launches on occasion.

Outdoor seating amid beautiful marshes. The food is pretty good too! We went for lunch on a cold windy day, but it was worth it.

Food is yummy but a bit pricey to me. Location and view are huge plus though, really nice view and relaxing. This is more like a half self-service where you go to the counter to order food then take number and waiter/waitress brings food to you. Staffs are nice and friendly though.

5 star for the view. 3 star for the food It is kind of surprising that this is the only restaurant on a river in the area. It looks like you can boat up to it and that's probably a huge plus. It's definitely a place that you would want to take any out of town visitors because it has such a unique atmosphere and beautiful setting. And probably after COVID, and because of its remoteness they stopped having table service and scaled back their menu. You order from the shack when you first arrive, both food and drink. Go find a table and they bring your food. Portions of small and uninspiring. The Patrons are friendly and it's easy to get into a conversation. And did I say the view was amazing? Very tranquil and peaceful. Not that easy to get to and not unusual for Uber to cancel enroute to the restaurant

Caesar salad with grilled shrimp was outstanding. Perfect combination of lettuce, cheese, croutons, bacon and dressing. Fries are beer battered- worth the calories. Dockside dining on a beautiful day- you've got to come here.

Food, atmosphere, views, and service are all amazing! The fried clam strips are the best I've ever had! A hidden gem that is worth going off the beaten path for!

When my mind wanders off to a happy place, it's always a memory of my visit here. So calm and peaceful, yet so cool and casual too. Great food & drink, great staff, great atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit when in Savannah! Ideally around sunset.

Madones. Like this place needs another review; My first time, visit Savannah every 3 months, this will be a must every time Start w their Awesome outdoor deck seating space enjoying the killer views of Williamson Creek and magical Wylly Island. :/ Can't go wrong w Anything on their menu. Comes highly recommended from local aficionados Start w the their house Guac if unsure; and their fried shrimp platter goes long way Know their Seared Flounder and Fish Tacos V Popular. One small Recommendation - much more convenient for everyone if Food AND Drinks were brought out to your table after ordered at entrance.

Cool, little tucked away place to get away with a great atmosphere great food! Servers were kind and the food was quick.

The Wyld is a beautiful waterfront dining spot in Savannah! Whether you're boating here for drinks or dinner or dining with a big group, make sure you call ahead to ensure they are open! They host weddings and large events often and we have have boated over before just to find out they are closed. Their cocktails are always great and it's a fun spot for bachelorette parties and big groups who want to dine Al fresco!

Try the ravioli and the fish tacos. The chowder is out of this world and the drinks are good! Even bought a sweatshirt! We will return soon.

This place is so unique and the food is always delicious. It's definitely different from other local restaurants but you will not be disappointed. Outside seating by the water and the staff are amazing.

Great atmosphere on the deck, good view, and a gentle breeze. I had the pork tacos, and joni had the fish tacos. Both had great flavor profiles and large portions. I was impressed with the amount of pork on my tacos, highly recommended. You order as you enter, but the service didn't stop there. They checked in a few times to ensure the food was good and our drinks were replenished.

This dock bar is a authentic Savannah experience, an outdoor shrimp restaurant situated adjacent to vast swampland. Even between lunch and dinner when the place is relatively empty, you'll wait an hour for your food because business is hopping. So come prepared to relax and talk with friend and just enjoy the outdoors. The french fries are pretty good and arrive piping hot. Unfortunately, the fried shrimp comes out room temperature, and there is no question that fried seafood should always arrive hot. That was odd, and kind of a turn off, but the shrimp quality was evident and the batter was decent. But cold? Really? The crab chowder is horribly mediocre. The flavor isn't right, not compared to the chowders I've fixed in my restaurant days. There is little crab to speak of, the crotons are all wrong, and it just wasn't an impressive experience. If you want a local experience, The Wyld is a cool place to come hang out with the family and the food is okay. But the cuisine is certainly nothing to write home about. I suspect the ratings are higher than 3.0 merely due to tourists who are in the moment carelessly selecting four and five star ratings.

Hidden place by the water in Savannah There's first come first serve seating Ample parking Clean restrooms The menu is limited and needs more options. The servers are friendly and accommodating. I recommend this place for the ambiance, views and drinks. The food needs a lot of improvement. I was excited to try because the reviews are good but I felt sick afterwards. Items we tasted: Crab soup (taste was off) Fries ( pretty much what I recommend...a little salty though) and rice and beans (which comes with curry) this should be advised when ordering. Cheese quesadilla for kids Tomatoes (needed seasoning) Brussels sprouts (too charred) And fish tacos (were ok) I wasn't to excited to try more menu items because the food needs to be better.

Amazing fish tacos, cold beer and a dog-friendly, waterfront setting! Super friendly and helpful staff as well. Be sure to get your dog a burger just for them!

Nice vibe, below average food. Price to quality ratio just isn't there. No service which is ok but could be clear about refills and at least check up on customers through their meal. More of a order at the window and sit down and that's it. I'm ok not coming back, wouldn't recommend.

is one of the best - Mackerel dip was very good - not a massive fan of the roll - overall a very good 9/10 based on our second time here.

So, if you are prepared to wait 45 minutes in line to order dinner, and then be served by a non-existent staff, this is your place. Oh, can I add that when the food was served there was no salt/pepper or any condiments on the table. Maybe that was a good thing as the sand flies nearly ate us alive. Apparently this venue has decided that there is no need for servers to check on your meal, and heaven help us, refill your styrofoam cup. Did I mention that the coke was flatter than a sixth-grader? Finally, $71 for tacos, clam strips and drinks is waaaay more than the food was worth. Captain D's can fry everything just as well for 1/2 the cost.

Stopped in yesterday for the first time for a drink and to relax for a while and enjoy the view. Great vibe and even better views. Boyh employees with whom we interacted were friendly and efficient, although the setup is a bit unusual. As you enter the bar, you give a credit card and your drink order to the first employee, and then you walk around the corner to a second area/bar and pick up your drink(s). Once you've done that, you then seat yourself anywhere that's open. (And since we were there at ~3:00pm, we pretty much had our choice of any table.) My wife ordered a Pain Killer for $8.00, and I ordered a PBR for $3.50. I thought the drink prices were more than reasonable, and I was surprised again when I was given a 16oz Tall Boy can. Usually, bars with great views tack on sort of a "view surcharge" to drink prices, but not here. Given that it was the middle of the day, we didn't order any food, so I can't address that aspect of the bar/restaurant. But if you want a good, inexpensive drink, served by friendly employees in a location with an outstanding view and vibe, this is definitely the place to go.

We enjoyed our experience here. They have a great atmosphere with outside seating on the water. My sandwich was good, but after seeing the shrimp roll I wish I had gotten that instead. My clam strip roll did not have that many clams to it. My husband also quickly ate the taco and was glad he had the side order of fries. If you get nonalcoholic drinks they come in flimsy cups and you will most likely need a new cup halfway through your meal.

Agree that the setting is beautiful, probably nowhere better to just sit and enjoy the low country. Period But... Be warned, do not buy one of their souvenir cups. They are very cute little tin cups with the Wyld logo, however, one washing, and the logo completely disappears! Along with all the other writing on the cup. We spent $20 on this "souvenir".

Best meal in Savannah area! Great views and great food! Worth the visit if you're nearby

July 22, 2023 I celebrated my 88th birthday at The Wyld. There were fourteen of us enjoying being with one another. I cannot imagine being anywhere else than at The Wyld. This rustic establishment overlooks a waterway as we dined outside on a covered open deck. The weather cooperated, the service was professional and the menu's offerings was descriptive and varied to such an extent that it was hard to choose. Among our group, every item on the menu was ordered and shared. To just say that the foods were wonderful is an understatement. Every item was beautifully prepared & presented. I had the honor to meet the Executive Chef and owner, Tony Seicrist. Tony is a classical, European trained, Chef with impeccable credentials. His love for great cuisine is only exceeded by his passion for using fresh, locally sourced, food items. Having now dined at The Wyld, meeting Chef Tony, experiencing the entire mise en scene and devouring such wonderful foods, I will now look for ways to come there from Statesboro, Georgia often. I recommend The Wyld highly. Just go and be wowed for yourself. It is worth the drive by land or boat. Beach casual dress is more than acceptable. How ever you dress, I recommend you dress to be comfortable.

Have not had a pleasant experience here after 3 visits due to poor service. Wanted to love it because location is gorgeous! If you sit at a table you may have a better experience, we've sat at the bar each time. Have heard from a few friends that they've had similar experiences here.

Good Inspector review in July 2023 Inspector Notes: Observed handwashing sink near hot line did not have paper towels available. A towel was sitting on top of faucet. Observed multiple items in 2 door reach-in cooler with temperatures over 41F. Observed handwashing sinks without any signage. Observed mildew-like substance on racks, gaskets, and interiors of multiple reach-in coolers. Observed mildew-like substance on and in basin of handwashing sink behind bar area. Observed build up on signs, ledges, and on ac units in kitchen area. Observed carbon build-up on back of stove and sides of oven. Observed a leaking pipe under 3-compartment sink with a large bucket full of dirty water under the leak.  I hope and pulling for them to get this remedied quickly.

Always a good menu. The best fried shrimp in town. My mom thinks it's the best fried shrimp she's ever had!

It is a little drive from Savannah and I thought Waze had lost it's mind but we got there. First you go to a little hut to place your order, then to the bar eating area. Your food is delivered to your table. With me was my wife, sister in law, son and granddaughter. It is set in a scenic area of back water. Saw some fish jump and we are told there are Manatees in the area. But back to the food and drink. Drinks from the bar are excellent and they do not skimp on the ingredients. My son, SIL, and wife ordered a crab roll and the granddaughter and I fried shrimp. The food came and it looked enticing and that is when my granddaughter said, luckily before taking a bite, "did we ask about peanuts"? Blank stare on our faces. Opps. My granddaughter is extremely allergic to peanuts. So I got up and asked about peanuts and sure enough they use peanut oil. Damn. They quickly made her a double cheese burger which she scarfed but that was a close one. Her attitude, "well I could have had shrimp with an eppy dessert." Ok, back to the food. My fried shrimp was good but I would not say great. On the other hand the three that ordered the crab rolls were all in agreement that they were the best that they have ever had. In closing, a little find in the middle of nowhere but is well visited by the locals who come in their boats and tie right up. Give it a try if you are in the Savannah area.

The Wyld Dock Bar was a lovely spot to start our long weekend in Savannah. Even though it was gloomy and chilly when we got there, it was still a good time. We arrived and placed our order. I like how they leave your tab open and you close out on your way out. If you are ordering beer, they have it ready at the bar while you wait on your food. You can also order additional items and they add it to your original tab. Very cool concept. Of course, we ordered a couple local brews. We picked them up at the bar and grabbed a table. Both brews were very good and were from Three Taverns Craft Brewery. Hubby tried a hazy IPA and I tried a sour. Our food was out super fast and looked great. Hubby ordered local fried shrimp with French fries and I ordered local fish tacos (Mahi) with rice and beans. The shrimp tasted fresh and were seasoned well. The French fries were nice and crispy. The Mahi in my fish tacos tasted very fresh as well. Tacos were simply dressed. I really liked the poblano aioli which added a nice little kick to the tacos. I like that they change their menu seasonal and use local, fresh ingredients. Great spot for grabbing drinks and food, just hanging out. They have tons of seating including lots of waterfront options. The fire pit area is really cool, too.

Loved this spot on the water. Their IPAs were good and really liked the shrimp roll and pork tacos. Nice casual place to hang out with friends and they are very dog friendly.
