“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“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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 !!“

“We went there for their High Tea which is outstanding- complete w fresh scones and Devonshire cream.
The place is run by SCAD students and it feels like it. It’s not a negative comment but the food and the book-themed interior design of the place are the standouts that spark return visits.“

“We booked this for Valentine's Day evening. We are visiting from the northeast. We had the prefix menu and everything they served us was exquisite. Service was impeccable and it was very romantic. It's not in the very best of neighborhoods, but the building itself is stunningly gorgeous, and the interior even more so.“

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

“#roadtrip 2nd stop on savannah trip to Treylor Park. Another awesome local place. #foodie Awesome place with awesome food and atmosphere and staff was great as well.

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

“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 Wyld Dock Bar was, without a doubt, one of the highlights of our trip to Savannah! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations.

The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, providing outstanding service from start to finish. Our food arrived surprisingly quickly, yet every dish tasted fresh and expertly prepared. The oysters were incredibly fresh, the fish dip was the perfect appetizer to kick off our meal, and the crispy shrimp was hands down the best I’ve ever had!

As someone who doesn’t drink alcohol, I especially appreciated seeing Athletic non-alcoholic beer on the menu. It’s always refreshing when a restaurant offers great options for everyone.

The restaurant itself is beautiful, with plenty of parking, spotless restrooms, and stunning waterfront views that make you want to linger. In fact, we were so comfortable enjoying the atmosphere that we stayed almost 45 minutes after we finished dinner, simply soaking it all in.

We can’t wait to return in August! The Wyld Dock Bar has officially earned a permanent spot on our “When in Savannah…MUST STOP!” list. If you’re looking for amazing food, exceptional service, and a relaxing waterfront dining experience, don’t miss this gem.“

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

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

“Everything about this place was perfect. The food choices and flavors are fun, the service was friendly and knowledgeable and the atmosphere was romantic and trendy.“

“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 had a great experience for lunch today! Delicious food, quick service (especially for 6), and extremely friendly staff.“

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

“Thank you JEff, Don, and Mary, and staff for a Fabulous meal in an outstanding environment. It was an extraordinary evening! The restaurant not to be missed when in Savannah. Barbara Tenbusch“

“Tucked away off abercorn is one of (if not) THEE, best burgers in Savannah. My only issue is how small the area is and you may have difficulty parking. French fries are THICC and crispy, burger is seasoned and cooked exceptionally. If I wasn’t bringing food home for my family I could’ve spent hours there sitting at the bar and enjoying myself. Laughed with strangers both bartenders were friendly food came out pretty quick. What an amazing hiding spot. I’m definitely coming back. Oh and the prices are good.“

“Stopped in during vacation and had the best lunch! Everyone loved their food. I would highly recommend the Potato Skin Style Fries!“

“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.“

“A+++ We will absolutely be back! Brought the hubby for a few unique beers and the food was even better. Service and atmosphere were also amazing.“

“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!“

“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“

“This was our first time eating there, since we don’t live in Savannah. Great and friendly staff! Our waitress Nia, greeting was warm, friendly and inviting! She gave wonderful service with a smile! The food was delicious and didn’t take long to come to our table. Giving a rate of 1-10… 10 for service, (Nia was fantastic) 9 over all for our food because the eggs and potatoes were warm not hot… but the cinnamon roll pancakes were a 10, 8 for the location due to the parking lot being small and we had to park at another restaurant next door. Would we go back to eat here…. Absolutely!! Thanks for a great dining experience!“

“They’re also willing to make almost anything gluten-free! Everything was delicious.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I just visited for the first time and bought a loaf of sourdough. It is some of the most delicious sourdough I have ever had!! The staff was so friendly and taught me how to refresh the loaf if we froze some. Wow! I’ll definitely be back!“

“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.“

“Great food at fair prices and friendly service!“

“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!“

“Saturday afternoon lunch. Restaurant was busy. Not a lot of atmosphere but, dining room was clean. We shared a combo plate with Philly Cheesesteak, 5 wings, fries and a drink. Ordered the wings dry with lemon pepper. They were great! Fries came out hot. Philly Cheesesteak (no bell pepper) was also very good. Ordered wings to go for an expected snowy evening. We will be back..especially for the wings.“

“The short rib was the best steak I’ve ever had. The asparagus was alright, good if you like lemony flavor. Brie appetizer was delicious. Ate every bite. Very good service, everyone is friendly. I don’t usually write reviews, but the short rib was too good to ignore“

“Such a meaningful coffee shop experience in Savannah. Bitty & Beau’s creates a welcoming space where people with intellectual and developmental disabilities are the heart of the team. The atmosphere is warm, friendly, and genuinely uplifting. It’s more than just coffee—it’s a reminder of what inclusion in the workplace can look like when it’s done right. Highly recommend stopping in if you’re in Savannah. ❤️“

“I just wanted to give kudos to Tony. My husband and I are visiting Savannah, Georgia for my birthday and Mother’s Day weekend, and Tony was absolutely amazing. First of all, his customer service, professionalism, attire, and overall presence were exceptional. Honestly, my husband and I truly thought he was the manager by the way he carried himself, led the restaurant floor, assisted other team members, and handled everything with confidence and grace. His entire aura gave leadership. What made us even prouder was realizing that this young man appears to be no older than about 25 years old, yet he executed excellence so effortlessly. Shortly after, we realized he actually was not the manager, and when we met the actual manager, we could clearly see that same spirit of humility and leadership reflected there as well. Not only was the food amazing — as always — because this restaurant has become a staple for us whenever we visit the Savannah area, but the customer service truly stood out this visit. When we first arrived, we initially hoped to keep the same server we remembered from previous years, who I believe is named Christy (if I mixed up her name, I sincerely apologize). She is an older Caucasian woman with such an outgoing, outspoken, spicy ball-of-fire personality, and she has always been amazing during our visits over the years. I’ll admit, at first we almost prejudged the situation when we realized we may not have her this time, but the moment Tony walked out, we instantly knew we were in the right hands. Thank you again to the leadership team for creating such a wonderful customer service experience. Great food will always bring people in, but great people are what keep customers coming back.“

“My friends and I had a wonderful lunch there. The food was so delicious, especially the soups and egg pie. The whole experience was great.“

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