Spankys River Street - Savannah (GA)

4 /5 Pink Peaches: Kid friendly place, the waiter accompanied us very nicely and asked if we didn’t like something that they would be able to switch it out. Nice peaceful quiet atmosphere. Nice outside view, drinks come with kids meals. Nice seating options. Friendly staff. Nicely refilled our drinks, Our server Bailey was great!!! Easy walking access. Took at least 50 minutes to get our food. The chicken is amazing and fresh!!!! I recommend coming here!!!!

4 /5 Kathy Parker: This place is kid friendly, although theres a bar near the front entrance. The menu had a good variety. The turkey burger was flavorful, the kids pizza was cheesy, and the chicken tenders taste more a of beer batter instead of the dry flour baste. Overall good.

4 /5 Local guide, KC: Spanky’s is a Savannah classic! The location on River Street is perfect, with a fun and laid-back atmosphere that feels welcoming the moment you walk in. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the whole experience easy and enjoyable. The food is exactly what you’d expect — casual, hearty, and great for sharing. The chicken fingers and spuds definitely live up to the hype, and the honey horseradish sauce was a standout. We also tried the pizza and burgers, which were solid and hit the spot after a day of walking the riverfront. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is that some dishes could use a little more seasoning, and prices are a bit on the higher side compared to the portions. But overall, it’s a fun, convenient stop with good food, a great location, and plenty of Savannah charm.

1 /5 Tayler Tanner: We have come here multiple times in previous years and the food was fantastic, but we were very disappointed to find that some things have changed for the worse since we last visited. We started out with mozzarella sticks that were fine, and the ranch was really good. Our server was super sweet and attentive. However, there was another server for a different area that we witnessed touching peoples drink straws at the top after touching her phone and the computer screen. She also picked something out of a drink (maybe a hair?) with her finger and still took both of these drinks to the table. The bartender was also touching her shoes and hair and then using her fingers to put fruit garnishes on drinks, never leaving the bar to wash her hands. We got Moscow mules and they tasted great but my friend found a chunk of something inside hers so we did not finish them. Also, the food was horrible. We all got chicken tenders with spuds expecting them to be great as theyve been in the past, but neither had any salt / flavor, and the quality of the chicken was terrible-very chewy and tendony. Unfortunately do not think we will be back. The restaurant overall, including the bathrooms, was not clean. Seats and tables were sticky and menus were disgusting. Very disappointing experience overall.

4 /5 Jennifer Combs: Stopped by on a cold and windy night, so it was pretty empty inside. Our server was so nice, but it took a little bit to get our food, especially considering how empty it was inside. Everything was piping hot when it arrived, though. I got the sampler platter, which came with fingers, fried pickles, taters, and mozz sticks. The chicken fingers and sauces were fantastic, and the ranch tasted housemade. The pickles were tasty and hand breaded, but the mozzarella sticks seemed frozen (like Arby’s), and the taters needed some seasoning as they were kind of bland. My husband got fries with his finger basket, and he loved them - they’re battered and seasoned fries. We would definitely come back, but we’d stick to just the chicken fingers and fries next time.
