“Tubby's in Thunderbolt is a great place to eat. Great food, friendly service and very nice atmosphere. Always happy when we can sit in James's section. He is an amazing server.“

“First off, shout out to Tiasha for the amazing service.

What a perfect spot for a double date night in Savannah! The Darling Oyster Bar has such a charming, romantic vibe with its historic Southern charm—dim lighting, beautiful decor, and just the right energy for great conversation without feeling too loud. Our server was attentive and made great recommendations.

We started with the clam chowder all around, and it was absolutely delicious—creamy, packed with flavor, and the perfect comforting start to the meal.

For mains, two of us went with the seared scallops (outstanding, perfectly cooked and flavorful), one got the lobster roll (fresh and satisfying), and the other had the shrimp and grits (huge shrimp and so comforting with that classic Lowcountry touch). Every dish was fresh, well-prepared, and hit the spot.

Highly recommend for a special night out—great food, wonderful atmosphere, and excellent service. We'll definitely be back next time we're in Savannah!“

“I immediately fell in love with the atmosphere when we walked inside. The staff were very friendly and inviting. They even asked about dietary restrictions right away.

We ordered the chive mussels, pan-seared snapper risotto and the shrimp and avocado salad. All so delicious! I would definitely come back for more!“

“We thoroughly enjoyed our 1/2 bird plate and biscuits. The best fried chicken we've ever had actually. We were not disappointed. Portions were generous. Staff was the most knowledgeable and friendliest that we've ever experienced and we travel a lot and always try local eateries.“

“No reservations available so we tried our luck at the bar..Donte & Adam were attentive and very knowledgeable explaining the menu and offering recommendations. It was quite possibly the best meal of my life, from the signature cocktails, phenomenal appetizers, delicious soup, out of this world entrees to the exquisite dessert (Tuxedo Bomb)..If we lived in Savannah I would be there at least once a week 🥰❤️😋 Thank you for the experience!!!“

“Great service. Phenomenal food! Family friendly. Everything we had was delicious!!!“

“I am proud to recommend Mrs Craig Vanessa for a selfless and reliable investment service.

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“

Seafood Boil, Shrimp n Grits, Fried green tomato sandwich topped with bacon and pimento cheese, crab dip with nachos, pimento cheese plate with pickled veggies and crackers (awesome), brisket
There are many other items we wanted to try so we will definitely be back next time we are in the area.
Staff was kind, friendly, and smiling
Place was busy, dining area is small, cute, charming, and clean. They also cater and take out is common. Very down to earth place with a positive vibe, you won't be disappointed and it's authentic southern food. Great experience!“

“One of our favorite places to dine in Savannah. It's wonderful to dine in a beautiful atmosphere where it's quiet enough to have a conversation. Was there last night celebrating a birthday and the service was excellent, the food was delicious, & the tiramisu was to die for. This is all typical for this location. We've always had a great dining experience there.“

“Been to this restaurant twice and it did not disappoint. Definitely my go to if I want to eat some amazing Cuban food! The only thing that sucks is parking isn’t the best.“

“Food and service was amazing!! Got the all you can eat and got more than my moneys worth 🙂‍↕️ 10/10 good eats“

“Rainy day, but a good time nevertheless. We were looking for an enjoyable dinner out while visiting Savannah, and found this spot.

Service was kind, quick, and on it! Suggestions for food were perfect. Though I would've liked a menu with a little more variety, I'm not disappointed with the taste.
I ordered the fried shrimp basket....eh...not horrible, but not jaw dropping. I also ordered the crabcake sandwich without all the fixings. I simply wanted the crabcake. Delicious!!
My family and friends ordered other items and enjoyed them, but we decided as a group we'd probably rank it a 6 on a scale of 1-10.“

“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“

“The best garlic crabs I have eaten. 5 stars!“

“A Magical Reception at Garibaldi – Truly Unforgettable! We hosted our daughter’s wedding reception at Garibaldi in Savannah, and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The evening was filled with elegance, warmth, and exceptional service that we will never forget. The passed appetizers were creative, delicious, and beautifully presented—our guests are still raving about them! Dinner was phenomenal, with every plate served hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The drinks were flowing all night thanks to the private bar, which gave the reception such an exclusive, intimate feel. While the dance floor was small, it added to the charm and brought everyone together in the best way—it felt personal and joyful rather than over-the-top. The room itself is breathtaking, and somehow it only became more stunning as the night went on. The lighting, the architecture, the ambiance—it all created this romantic, glowing atmosphere that was the perfect backdrop to such a special celebration. The staff was flawless—attentive, professional, and always one step ahead. They made sure every guest felt cared for, and we felt completely at ease knowing they had everything under control. Garibaldi was more than just a venue—it was part of the magic. We couldn’t have imagined a better place to celebrate our daughter’s big day. Five stars all the way!“

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

“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.“

“We had a phenomenal evening at Stone & Webster while celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary in Savannah. We were looking for a special place to mark the occasion, and this restaurant exceeded every expectation.

From the moment we walked through the doors, the experience felt magical. The atmosphere is elegant and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a memorable celebration. The staff was warm, attentive, and provided impeccable service throughout the evening.

The food was exceptional—every course, from the appetizer to dessert, was beautifully prepared and absolutely delicious. Each dish showcased outstanding quality and flavor.

We cannot recommend Stone & Webster highly enough, and a special thank-you goes to our incredible server, John Pierre, whose professionalism and hospitality made an already wonderful evening even more memorable. We look forward to returning the next time we're in Savannah.“

“very good and great service“

“We'd walked by twice and kept saying we needed to stop in. we were so glad that we did. The food was amazingly delicious and the service was friendly and fast. We'll definitely go back the next time we're in Savannah.“

“We happen to come across The Smoking Egg while down Chatham Pkwy doing some floor shopping. Establishment was very clean, service was too notch, and food to include mimosas were beyond delicious. The wife got the smash burger and fries. Both were seasoned well and cooked to perfection. I got the Ox Tail, Collard Greens, and Mac n Cheese. Let me tell you, run don’t walk to order this! It was so good! We definitely return as I’m eyeing the crawfish.“

“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!“

“5star service 10 out of 10 I will recommend“

“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 restaurant is one of our favorite in Savannah! We love the crab cakes and the steaks are always seasoned and cooked to perfection! We haven't try desserts, always to full from the meal! Service is great also!“

“Classy brunch spot - great for families or a good hangover meal in a beautiful, and convenient, location. Good mix of Savannah favorites, a bit of New Orleans flare, and lots of southern classics on the menu. The beignets were delicious and the entire brunch menu offered plenty of options for any taste - while being a bit more budget friendly than some other Savannah brunch options. Would love to come back and try some of the other options - table next to us had a mix of everything and it all looked amazing too. The restaurant was beautiful and offered a clean and classy atmosphere.

Service was good, but a little slow for how quiet the restaurant was for Saturday Brunch.

Would definitely recommend - the bar also looked like a great spot for a cocktail to escape the summer heat :) Great pick for your next trip to Savannah - and a wonderful spot for pics if that's your vibe!“

“My whole family love the taste!!“

“Great service. Phenomenal food! Family friendly. Everything we had was delicious!!!“

“I am so glad that PaPa’s is near my home. The food is always consistent, good and enjoyable. The servers are all good and soon you become attached to them. Their BBQ is very good as is their seafood. How can this happen, but it does! I love their food! I hope the recent loss of their owner will not effect the operation of the restaurant. Please come out and try this outstanding local restaurant!“

“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.“

“My hospital had a celebration for our employees and we chose WillYum’s food truck! He arrived on time and did NOT disappoint! Our second food truck came 30min before our occasion ended and although we did not ask him to provide that much food, he apparently brought back up because he was able to feed so many. Every dish he served up was tasty and well presented. Thank you for making our celebration special and we most definitely will be calling on you for any future events!!!“

“Best Low country boil I have ever had. Better seasoning, The crab was cooked perfectly. We didn’t need crackers except for the claws. The meat slid out in one piece. AND GREAT SERVICE!! Can’t leave that out.“

“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!“

“It’s my first time eating top crab seafood. Oh my God it is so good. I never ate so much and it’s nice and juicy and delicious. Thank you you guys.“

“The restaurant very clean & inviting was greeted at the door , waitress very friendly an knowledgeable will come again“

“We went here twice during our vacation because the food was great, cocktails delicious and staff friendly, accommodating and very fun. The vibes, energy and whole experience was 10/10 both times we went. Special shout out to Amanda, our server/mixologist who brought us the best cocktails and presentations! I would recommend this place to anyone looking for great food, drinks and service. Also the Oysters Rockefeller were delicious!!! Please give them a try. :)“

“First time was July 13,2024 of being here. I’ve heard good things about it and so when I came to Savannah I had to give it a try. I’m so glad I found somewhere I can get conch from when I’m in Savannah. The owner was so greeting and such good spirits.“

“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.“

“we ate there for dinner. tried a few different dishes, the pork belly guacamole was awesome. they have. large selection of tacos, burritos, quesadillas and much more for build your own. i had a scallop taco it was delicious. wife had rib tacos kids had shrimp quesadillas. the options to customize was great too. the coconut flan and tres leches was the "icing on the cake " it was all around delicious“

“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).“
