Highly Recommended 14 Dinner Restaurants Near Savannah, Georgia

Johnathan Morris We had reservations here for our company Christmas party. In a nutshell: everything was amazing!!! If I had to nitpick I would say the wait was kind of long but even then, we had very comfortable seating for the wait and its to be expected with a place like this. It was a packed house! Our waiter was a Jamaican gentleman who was very attentive, polite, and quick. A woman came to our table and took requests for songs....and she was belting out those notes!!!! We had a blast!!! I had the fried lobster and it was beyond excellent. This is one of those places where the food looks pretentious but it is VERY good and more than filling! In short, we would definitely eat here again and I highly recommend it!

Amy Durant Excellent dining experience! We started with the French onion soup - delicious! The braised short rib with mashed potatoes and green beans was outstanding. The serving was so generous that I ended up taking a large portion home. Of course we had to try a dessert so we ordered the chocolate mousse cake. It was good but not stellar. The service and atmosphere was fantastic with live music playing in the front room. Out table was further back and more quiet. I will definitely return when Im back in town.

Elizabeth Dudley stopped in for a quick lunch on way to a Tour at Owens-Thomas House and so glad we did. Our server, Kunal was amazing. He was super positive and helpful. We let him know we were in a rush and he made sure we got our food asap. The food was great! I got buttermilk chicken fingers and Bob got the double smash burger. Both came with French fries that hot and crispy, just the way I love them. They have a full bar and a menu that includes breakfast, brunch and lunch items. Great food and service!

Scarlet Hao It’s been my must-go-to place for years. I eat there every time I come to Savannah. I’m not the expert in Cajun food, but I really love theirs. The seasoning and the prices are great, and I will also highly recommend them!

Ilona Yakubenko This was our first time visiting this café — I found it online, and we were pleasantly surprised by how beautiful and delicious everything was. We sat outside, and the atmosphere was amazing: tables close to the road, people walking by, creating a lively tourist vibe that paired perfectly with the beautiful food and pleasant service. I ordered salmon, and the kids ordered burgers with fries — and even the kids were absolutely thrilled with the food. The fries were especially good. Later we tried fruit and a dessert inspired by Dubai chocolate with ice cream — a must-try. It’s very sweet, but even though I usually don’t like sweets, it was delicious. I also had a lavender coffee (can’t remember the exact name), and it was outstanding.

Karen Kerby We sat at the bar. Loved the rustic setting. Ordered a Bloody Mary and a Blue moon. Had the spinach dip appetizer. I had a grilled buffalo chicken wrap with side of potato salad. Spouse had the famous Reuben with onion rings. Everything g was spot on tasty. No complaints. Great bar service, exceptional food and historic atmosphere.

Sara Goodrich The scallops were the best we’ve ever had. They were cooked perfectly. The fish had great flavor and was cooked really well. The risotto didn’t have any salt but was amazing once added. Unfortunately the steak was more medium than medium rare but my husband liked the flavor. The potatoes were phenomenal. We also got the crème brûlée and it was perfect. It was the best we’ve had. The sugar wasn’t bitter and it was so creamy and custardy.

Matin Foomani The shrimp and grits at Huey’s were outstanding. The grits were smooth and simmered to a perfect, comforting texture, with just enough richness to complement the dish without feeling heavy. The shrimp were tender, well-seasoned, and beautifully cooked, adding a coastal flavor to every bite. Altogether, it felt like a warm Southern classic done exactly right. It had a kick with spices but didn’t bother. Loved it!

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!!!!

sean stutz The atmosphere is exactly what you would expect from a place with this kind of name. Everything inside is one giant innuendo but it just adds to the atmosphere. Its a great place to get some unique drinks and desserts for the end of date night; just make sure you eat beforehand this is a drinks and dessert place only no actual food. The staff were super nice and very helpful, they all keep lights on them so you can take pictures, the inside is kind of dark like low light mood lighting. I got a red wine with chocolate on the rim of the glass and i was not expecting much but it was actually a really really good combo. The cakes we got were a little dry but they looked great and still tasted good. My wifes drinks were fantastic and one was really unique looking. Over all I would say this is one of the cooler and more interesting places to go on a date in this era. I can not wait to go back and try all the different drinks.

Fatin Asnan Coming to this restaurant wasn’t planned, but we were pleasantly surprised with the food, service, and vibe. We made a last minute reservation (due to our original restaurant didn’t work out). Got there 20 mins early and got seated right away. For the food, we ordered the whole fried tilapia, a fried grouper fillet, an iron beer (Cuban version of coke)— and everything came just about $40. That price in the downtown of Savannah is unbelievable. Huge portions too. Photo of Tilapia with husband’s hand for scale, the Grouper, and the aftermath :) More importantly, the foods were actually really tasty. Fishes were seasoned well. Sweet plantains were a nice touch of sweetness to the savory fish. And the garlic bread they gave in house… chef’s kiss! Plus, they got live music and friendly servers. We were there for 1.5 hours and witnessed 3 birthday celebrations by the servers and the band. Service can be a bit slow due to how packed it is, but just set your expectations especially for weekend nights.

Dierra Jones One of my favorite restaurants to eat while I’m in downtown Savannah! I often times get my food to go and I always order their house special fried rice with shrimp and tofu for my protein choice. They also have the best spring rolls as well!! If you want good flavor definitely check them out!

Mason Lucas This place was excellent! We got a few salads, crab cakes, and the biscuits on a Saturday night. All of the food tasted fantastic and came out very quickly. Our server was very attentive. We don’t usually get dessert but they had a goat cheese cake so we had to :) it was exceptional. Highly recommend this spot!

Leslie Shinn Great new options for lunch and dinner. Upgraded bar food definitely! Update: my dad said this is the best sandwich he has EVER had. Wagu Philly cheesesteak
