50 Best American Restaurants in Savannah

“Food was homemade by the finest chef. Staff was very observant and happy to serve. The atmosphere was romantic, historic and all around elegant. Can’t wait to come back. HIGHLY recommend. Kim was our server and he made our experience with his attentive attitude.“

“After years of traveling around the world, Common Thread continues to be our favorite restaurant. Just returned to Savannah for the weekend after almost three years and Common Thread was still our highlight of the weekend! We LOVE this place!“

“Loved our brunch during our visit to Savannah! Everything was delicious. Deviled egg appetizer was my favorite.“

“Great place to eating and drinking“

“I am proud to recommend Mrs Craig Vanessa for a selfless and reliable investment service. I was constantly looking for a reliable platform to invest and my friend introduced me to her platform and I realized this is the best platform to invest on because she maintains discipline in her investment relationship and strategies to ensure the complete transparency and credibility of her investors. She helped me gained $16,000 with just a capital of $2,000. If you want to be financially successful invest with her ASAP via WhatsApp through Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“Ate there this past weekend. Service was excellent, dinning area and rest rooms very clean. I had the catfish with grits, very delicious .l highly recommend. I don’t recall having better food and dinning experience anywhere. We will be going back very soon.“

“Our first experience at their rooftop bar, Perch, was perfection. We went to hear the music, which was wonderful. We ordered the yellow curry and it was delicious. The cocktails were perfectly crafted. The part that elevated it even more, though, was the service. The staff working Perch last night went above and beyond to make our evening special. We can’t wait to return!“

“I ordered the Falaful bowl w/greens. My taste buds have NEVER been so excited. Every bite was delicious!“

“The food was delectably delicious, the prime cut the best I've ever tasted, the crab cake one of the best. The cheese cake was light as it should be. Be aware, there is no handicapped access, no way of getting past those steep stairs in front; getting up and down was painful to me using a walker; it would have been impossible for someone in a wheelchair. Yes, the 1901 building is historically protected, but there should be a way of building an inoffensive ramp.“

“Quinn's is not flashy but the food is exceptional! The food was wonderful, fresh, delicious. The staff is energetic, friendly and capable. The cooks do an excellent job. Eating here (twice) was honestly one of the highlights of our Savannah visit (and we did a LOT while we were here). When we are next ANYWHERE near Savannah, we'll make a trip to Quinn's for the pleasure of revisiting what feels like an old friend. Quinn, the owner, works just as hard as the rest of the staff. Everyone we saw was constantly moving. Think "whirling dervishes!" On our first visit, we saw a wide variety of customers-business people, tourists, locals, singles, couples, groups. I didn't notice anyone that seemed unhappy and everyone seemed to enjoy the food and the visit. On our second visit, we made it a point to be the first ones in the restaurant (which opens at 0630 but Tripadvisor wouldn't let me put in that time). We arrived probably at 0633 and soon after a steady stream of people (most likely locals) came in to start their day. Although they were constantly on the go, the staff somehow managed to carve out time to talk with us, talk about the business and generally engage. Amazing and such an absolute refreshing touch! We had the definite pleasure of being one of the first customers for one of Quinn's relatives (also an interesting story). She was very new to the electronic order system but Quinn was patient and our server was diligent making sure everything was correct. Quinn is clearly a "hands on" owner. She and her entire staff seem to enjoy what they do and take great pride in providing excellent service and food. Our dining experience was an absolute pleasure. Bottom line: Go to Quinn's - excellent food, exceptional service, fantastic atmosphere and overall a wonderful experience. I hope Quinn's Breakfast and Lunch continues to enjoy phenomenal success!“

“Our waiter was great. The sausage skillet and blueberry pancakes were great too!“

“Delightful light lunch spot in historic former apothecary on Bull St. Excellent service complete with a history lesson about the building! I had the chevre salad, my husband had the sesame tuna salad ( generous servings!) , and we had the scones of the day. I’d like to go back to try the afternoon tea!“

“We visited both the Tybee Island Beach Party and Savannah Double Wide Diner locations during our trip, and we were pleased with both. Food was outstanding, lots of unique options! The pancake tacos and crab cake sliders at Beach Party, and the brunch nachos and French toast sandwich at Double Wide will NOT be forgotten! So dang good. Manager and waitress-in-training at Double Wide were so hospitable and friendly. Highly recommend checking out either of these locations.“

“We sat outside, beautiful evening. The food was delicious. We ordered 2 entrees and shared them The crab cake entree and the Ahi Tuna We both agreed Best food we have ever eaten. Definitely give this food 5 stars. We will be back !!“

“This outdoor seating is to die for! The food is always good. We even like the order at the bar, vs at the table kind of service, but it sometimes it would be nice if there was a little bit more service. It's hard to explain, but sometimes it's like there are almost no employees working ... Like you could be there for a while and not see an employee, but maybe that's because we go during the week around lunchtime.“

“I had the Braised Beef Rigatoni, the Brussel Sprouts and the peanut butter pie and it was one of the best meals of my entire life! Just eat here“

“We had a beautiful dinner here tonight. The Fried Chicken Caprese and Short Rib plate were both amazing! The Banana bread pudding dessert was out of this world. The service was spot on. We hope to come back on our next visit to Savannah!“

“Great place for a burger and fries. Staff was as friendly as can be. Do yourself a favor and order a milkshake! Sign fell down in the storm the night before we came, the restaurant is in the American Legion building.“

“Stopped for something to eat after a Savannah Ghost Pirates game. Thursday night and they service bar food late and beer in cans. (I had the chorizo fries and they were really good.) Mainly art college students hanging out — mostly younger crowd.“

“Definitely not a place for a picky eater, but the food was excellent. The collards were off the hook ???!!! I had the French dip flat bread and a side of crisps (flat fries), but tasty. My wife had the deep fried chicken pot pie w/o the pico de gallo. She is use to “old fashioned” pot pie, but she ate outside her comfort zone.“

“What a nice spot in an RV Resort campground overlooking a lake with alligators!

We had burgers and chicken tenders which were very good. We also ordered the rum drinks that were excellent! Quick service on a very busy Friday night.“

“The French fries are addictive! I also had a burger and it was delicious. All the ingredients were fresh. The "mystery lemonade" was really good. I'll be back!“

“The food and service was fantastic! Probably the best buttermilk chicken tenders I have ever had. Also, dog friendly outdoor patio. They were so nice to our pup, Lucy.“

“The atmosphere is very dark and sexy located at the bottom of the Alida Hotel. The service was friendly, but sometimes could lack attention. But the food quality surpasses everything, and it is definitely worth a visit. The prices are not that high you would spend just as much money as going to a P.F. Chang's or a Cheesecake Factory. This was a little bit too salty for me but for the appetizer we got CRISPY CALAMARI BANANA PEPPERS, CALABRIAN CHILIS, PARSLEY, CILANTRO, ROSEMARY AIOLI. My main entree was the best burger I have ever had. It was the first time I could eat a burger without it sliding off the bun. From the bun to the sauce to the cheese and pickles everything was perfection. RHETT SMASH BURGER TWO BEEF PATTIES, AMERICAN CHEESE, RED ONION, PICKLES, NORFOLK SAUCE, OLD BAY FRIES. And dessert was just okay for me to much cream not enough banana. BANANA PUDDING WAFERS, VANILLA PUDDING, CREAM“

“Well after 20 years finally said let’s do it! My god the food was amazing, the people fantastic and the staff were the best! Must stop here! Prepare ahead of time! No eating for like 2 days prior! Laughing, all around great place and can’t wait to visit again next year!“

“Great food & wonderful staff. Bree took our reservation & was so sweet & attentive when we arrived. Heather our waitress was wonderful.“

“Chatham Academy hosts prom here every year. It is absolutely a beautiful venue. I have so much fun with my friends and the memories that we make. It is such a great way to bond with people here. There is great decorum.“

“Wonderful food and great service with a smile and genuine caring about the customer. Made us feel at home the 1st morning so we went back every day while we were there. They just got nicer and nicer. Buffet on Saturday was great. If we are ever in Savannah again, this will definitely be the place to go.“

“I’m traveling, staying in local hotel. I was in the mood for a burger, but not an average one. I ordered online. It was done exactly when it was supposed to be. And the burger was delicious. I’ll be returning tomorrow to try something else.“

“Best restaurant in Savannah, Ga by far!“

“Food was delicious. And I have to give a huge thumbs up to the waitress who was here today (5/24) ...I didn't catch her name but I hope she sees this. She was running the whole place by her self with one cook. All the seats were full, and this girl kept everything going like a well oiled machine, and never even let our tea run out! She is the best. We will visit again soon.“

“Hueys’s on the River is a must when you are in Savannah! Absolutely the best Shrimp and Oysters we have ever had. I wish they would open one in KY!“

“Palmer was our first introduction to Savannah (other than the airport). Her attentiveness, sense of humor and helpful hints kicked off our trip perfectly.“

“Very nice cozy nook to get coffee! The coffee and food was good! We weren’t expecting to pay that much for two breakfast sandwiches and two coffees. Basically $22 per person. The outside seating was nice and it was dog friendly! They had plenty of outdoor seating and even a walk-up window! When you enter to order your food it’s kinda like you’re in their kitchen! You can see what everyone’s making and that’s pretty cool! There was also a $1.20 delivery fee. I guess they charge for walking it out to your table.“

“The Homemade onion rings are a must try! And don't forget an old fashioned milkshake for the ride home! The waitress Kari is my favorite! 🥰“

“If you’re looking for service with a smile, you will not get it here. What you will get is a tasty, but small, chicken wing and a yummy Philly on soft bread. A for the food F because every single time I come the cashier looks like it’s physically painful for them to crack at least a half smile.“

“I throughly enjoyed the pancakes and fresh squeezed OJ!!“

“We came here for Sunday breakfast/brunch and holy crap! It was so good! The biscuits are worth the wait alone! The decor is so unique, you can feel the history in the walls but it’s also been updated to a modern feel. The menu choices are expansive and may cause stress on which delicious item to pick! I really enjoyed my Bay Street Scramble, and the rest of my party enjoyed their breakfasts too! Service was pretty good, not super fast but it was also super crowded. We got in without a reservation in under 20 minutes which was great! Highly recommend!“

“We are new to the area and decided to give this joint a try after a long day of running errands and we THOROUGHLY enjoyed it. The food was great!! The Buffalo Chicken Dip is a MUST, should you decide to check it out. In a world of declining customer service, this place has renewed my "faith" especially being that Faith was our AMAZING server! I'm sure this will be a regular spot for us to hang out, have drinks and great food! THANKS FOR THE AWESOME SERVICE!!“

“Total coolest find on our girls trip to Savannah. Friendly rooftop atmosphere with great service and fun vibe. Get yourself here!!“

“Great menu, fast service, fun venue“

“The Pirate’s House is a neat spot with a lot of history and character. The building itself is very old and full of charm, and it’s interesting to walk through the different rooms and read about the past. The food was good — classic Southern dishes with generous portions. We tried the fried chicken and shrimp & grits, and both were solid. Service was friendly and helpful. Overall, it’s a unique place to eat in Savannah, especially if you enjoy history and want something a little different from a typical restaurant.“

“The best soul food on a Good Friday. Thank you“

“Highly recommend! Great atmosphere! Great staff!“

“great looking place, great food, service slow, slow, slow. While our waitress was friendly, none of the staff was friendly.“

“Great food! Bene swine was my favorite! Very fast and friendly!!“

“Decent course in respectable shape. Fun and challenging layout. I went with my 8 year old son and they allowed him to play for free which I really appreciated. Didn’t have the best luck with the food at the turn. Ordered it via the cart on hole 7 and had to wait 20 mins at the turn for it to be ready.“

“Went with the Family and had a great time and great meal. Beer and Wine was ice cold.“

“Beautiful facilities and people. we always look forward to working here.“
