New American Restaurants in Savannah, GA

“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“

“Best shrimp and grits I’ve ever had. She put the chorizo in a small bowl in case it was spicy. I mentioned that I couldn’t do spicy. I appreciated her thoughtfulness. Even the shrimp had a wonderful flavor. My husband and son shard a gnocchi dish. They really liked it. I thought the atmosphere was perfect. We ate inside. This was our first time here and The Public Kitchen and Bar get a 10+ from me.“

“Had lunch here yesterday. Atmosphere was inviting, low light music playing. Place was clean. Service was great. Waiter/Bartender, didn't catch his name, but he had a wonderful personality and he provided us with great service. We didn't have long wait time on food. Food was great. Fried green tomatoes and mozzarella bites. Can't remember what my friend ordered. It was a bowl of something that looked very good and she enjoyed it. They have plenty of healthy options to chose from, that I didn't do. I had the 5 spot smash burger added bacon with fries. Their sauce that they put on it was great, didn't need to add anything more. Bacon was quality, veg was fresh. Fries were crisp and very tasty. I feel the prices were fair. The proportions were fine. All around great experience. Yes, I'll definitely be back to try other things on their menu. Thanks for giving a great experience!“

“Found Kayak Kafe on Yelp and decided to give it a go. The parking lot was packed which we believe is a good sign that the food is good but we may have to wait. To our surprise there were still a few open tables so we grabbed a seat. We started off our meal with a Cucumber Lemonade. It was light, tasty and very refreshing. I ordered the Turkey Cubano with Turkey Chili and my wife got the Lime Chicken Tacos. Everything was simply delicious. If I lived in Savannah then this place would be a must go to weekly. Highly recommend. Author David Moon Books on Amazon Zomosapiens Scales of Justice Pickle’s Pickle“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“One of my favorite restaurants in Savannah! So cute and creative!“

“Great place to eating and drinking“

“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!“

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

“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 at fair prices and friendly service!“

“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 had the Alabama catfish dinner; it totally was not I expected. the fried catfish was cooked perfectly; it was on a layer of collards and under that was cheese grits. i.ve never had catfish plated that way. but it was amazing, now you might need to be from the south to enjoy this. I did not miss a bite. but the combination was absolutely delicious. We ate upstairs on the patio, it was a little chilly and windy, they had heaters and it made it comfortable. Cudos to the wait staff running up and down the stairs to bring food and drinks in an efficient manner.“

“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 !!“

“Chez Carole’s food is amazing. Always fresh, hot and delicious!“

“We visited The Wyld Dock Bar after seeing it featured in a Samantha Brown travel video, and it had been on our list to try.

The setting is part of the appeal—relaxed, tucked away, and with a casual coastal, backwater feel. The garden-like grounds and waterfront views give it a laid-back atmosphere that’s easy to settle into.

Service is designed to be minimal, you order at the counter. We ordered the famous crispy local shrimp, Caesar salad, burger, and the local blue crab roll - which was outstanding, along with Mexican bottled Coke and a couple glasses of a lovely Albariño. Everything was solid and enjoyable, especially in the setting.

The weather was agreeable, even if the gnats were not, and overall we had a really nice visit. It’s the kind of place that feels like a bit of a hidden gem—unpretentious, scenic, and worth seeking out if you’re in the area.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Today our family of eight visited for the first time. What a lovely experience! Olivia took great care of us, as did the other young woman who's name I didn't get. Very personable and down to earth.
Portions made the prices worth the meals. They were delicious and satisfying.
Thank you to the whole team. Nice job. Next time we are in the area to visit family, we must return.“

“Great food great service all and all a 10/10“

“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.“

“Our JW Marriot rate included $60 for breakfast per room per morning.

The first morning we were surprised there was about a 10 minute line to even put your name on the waitlist. The waitlist was about 15 minutes. But there was a handy app they used so you could step away and see how many parties were ahead of you. The second morning only 1 of us stood in line to put our name on the waitlist while everyone was in the hotel room getting ready. Once on the waitlist, the wait was 20 minutes. Then, when the app showed only one table was ahead of us, we all went down to the restaurant.

During the month of April- whether due to spring break or easter- the breakfast hours are slammed even midweek. The earlier you go in the morning the less busy it will be.

The food itself is tasty.

We enjoyed looking at the framed photographs of the power plant.

The Le Creuset pastel colored mugs are nice to hold and pretty.

There is also a kids menu with a variety of items such as blueberry pancakes, blueberry banana French toast, eggs and bacon, etc.

Please note that if you don’t want to bother with table service, there is also a carry out line strictly for the market, where customers can purchase breakfast sandwiches, pastries, coffee and take them to eat at one of the tall tables in the cafe, or in the hotel lobby.“

“Food was amazing and drinks were strong ❤️“

“I brought my dog Woody Hayes for his 11 year Gotcha Day and he had a wonderful time. The beef carpaccio was so tasty I had to order a 2nd one because my other Chihuahua Preston wouldn’t stop crying for more. Woody had the Beef Carpaccio, Filet, Key Lime Cheesecake and Crème Brûlée (he shared with me and 3 other Chi’s). The food was so good and the outside is such a beautiful patio to sit on. I will definitely be back (of course with the Chi’s).“

“Front of house and service at Fleeting is spot on. Our waitress was professional and approaching Michelin * level. Most of the dishes we had (party of 5) were elevated. One exception was the pork which was dry and didn't seem to be brined. Cocktails were well executed, however the desserts seemed a bit over-thought and could use some tweaking. Overall a memorable and fresh dining experience in Savannah. Bravo Fleeting! 8/10“

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

“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!“
