50 Best American Restaurants in Savannah

“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“

“I had the best dining experience of my life so far at The Grey! The food was absolutely amazing. The people were so nice! If I didn't live 1000 miles away, I'd be here all the time! Can't wait to find a reason to be in Savannah again!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great food, great variety, fried chicken was amazing! Family style.“

“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“

“Best restaurant in Savannah, Ga by far!“

“I'll admit that today wasn't the best day to go b/c it was in the 40s, but we enjoyed the lack of a crowd and sitting out in the bright sun under brilliant blue skies. Such a great spot to have a meal or have a couple of beers. My husband had the cuban, while I had to go local with the fish tacos. The best and rice were awesome and the cilantro could not be fresher as it was grown out front. Friendly staff and lots of parking.“

“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!“

“I always enjoy the experience when I’m in town. A Savannah staple.“

“Great burger!!! One of my favorite Savannah restaurants.“

“Great place. Tenderloin great. Bartender looks like Russell Crowe!“

“My wife and I ate here with our grandkids.. we were on our way to miami for a cruise.. googled steak and seafood restaurants and this one just jumped at me .. I said I wanna go here . And I could of never made a better choice.. I had chicken Alfredo and the wife had shrimp Alfredo.. loved it thank you for a great meal.. my wife said she'd drive the 745 miles to eat there again.. and to be honest. I believe I would too“

“Colin,Tres, Becca, Becca. food. drinks and really nice,nice patrons.“

“We had the best experience at Little Duck Diner! Abed was our server & he recommended the burger and avocado grilled cheese. They were DELICIOUS! Highly recommend stopping into this little gem when you’re 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.“

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

“Café located in the JW Marriot. Great option for breakfast, brunch and lunch! You can order quickly at the counter, a la carte or a very complete breakfast buffet!
We were very well attended and all the dishes were delicious. The Greek yogurt with fruit easily serves two people. In fact, all the dishes are very well served. Highlights include the eggs benedict, which was the best we've had in the city so far.“

“Great place to eating and drinking“

“HIGHLY recommend you check this place out if you haven’t yet! Best fried chicken I’ve ever eaten in my life! PERIOD! We got a bunch of different sides and they were also all delicious and flavorful! Will be back ASAP! Thanks Ms. Rachel!“

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“

“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!“

“Get a great view of the river from up Rocks on the Roof. Had a smashed burger with an espresso martini- both really good. My date had the Hush Puppies which she thought were excellent along with her Garden of Eden drink. Very good place to go while visiting Savannah.“

“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.“

“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!“

“This place is amazing…all of it! The ambience is fantastic! The service is first rate and the food…perfection! If you want a perfect day out…include Gryphon in your itinerary! We easily found street parking. Our server included the history of the building which was really cool and when they brought the check it was in a book we could write in. There are a lot of special touches here.“

“Wow! We sat at the bar to enjoy the unlimited mimosas and they were so great. I got the crab cake benedicts....they ran out of fresh eggs was sad about that....the beet hollandaise was different but good, wished I asked for more. My husband had the steak and eggs. Steak was smoked and shredded apart...so yummy! We waited until the oysters were available...they were delicious! The atmosphere and staff here was so pleasant and peaceful. We weren't rushed away by the staff after sitting for 3 hours which was nice. My Husband and I enjoyed our date brunch! Definitely going to be our new brunch spot!“

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

“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 !!“

“Cool place, came here because I’ve heard they have the best burger and fries in Savannah. Their burger is nothing special, smaller patties not smashed and well done.

Their fries on the other hand are the best I’ve ever had anywhere. Perfect in every way.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“We were in Savannah for the day and stopped here for lunch—everything was remarkable! It’s one of those places where you can tell they care deeply about the food.

The ham baguette sandwich was one of the best I’ve ever had and the grain salad was wonderfully seasoned and composed.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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! 🥰“

“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!“

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

“Wonderful place and service. Love that it's part of the CreekFire RV Resorts to have a bite to eat without driving out and about to find a place. It's very convenient and has a nice store to shop in too. Very friendly, clean, and relaxing place to stay. Had a lake view site and was beautiful to see it every day while staying at this resort. The pool was not open yet as it was too cold at the time we were there. We would stay here again.“

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

“The Philly is excellent, great flavor like the meat was cooked on the grill, fries crisp, could use some seasoning but they do offer at the condiment station, servers very nice and ask great questions about what you want or don’t want, super fast for quality food“

“What a friendly place with incredible food! Easily the best breakfast we had during our Tybee Island/Savannah trip and at such good prices compared to other places. Very homey and welcoming atmosphere and we’ll definitely be back!

Kid-friendliness: High chairs and booster seats plus super friendly staff!“

“It was our first time dining here for my birthday. I had the filet mignon and it was cooked to perfection. The house made steak sauce was delicious. My husband and daughter had the pork tenderloin-also delicious. My daughter’s fiancé had the Parmesan tilapia. Also delicious! Our server, Darien, was attentive and very helpful with his recommendations. We didn’t get dessert because we were too full from dinner.“

“Lambchops and egg rolls were amazing. Very flavorful and well prepared.“

“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“
