“This was our first visit to Savannah. The Olde Pink House was our last stop on our 3-day visit. Our experience there was the highlight of our trip. We had a lunch reservation and were greeted by Austin, an awesome member of your wait staff. He was the best. He did a great job explaining the menu and answered all of our questions. Being a MD native, I had a hard time understanding 'Blue Crab Beignets". Austin sold me on the She Crab soup and my husband had the BLT fried green tomato salad and we shared an order of the beignets. "Super Delicious". Austin gave us a high-level overview of the Pink House history and suggested that before we leave that we take a self-guided tour of the house. We highly recommend that if you go to this wonderful restaurant that you request Austin as your server and take the time to tour this fabulous house. Make a reservation; it's in high demand. We'll definitely have this restaurant at the top of our list for our next visit to beautiful Savannah.“

“The place was pretty small (7 or 8 tables) and it was PACKED. Patrons crammed in for their pickup orders and waited to be seated. Cars lined up outside and people stood inside and out for food/service. The host answered the phone, took orders and cleaned tables...clearly understaffed.

The GOOD NEWS...the food was PHENOMENAL!!!! The crab omelet was STUFFED with crab! The hash browns were perfectly crispy. The chicken and eggs excellent. And the biscuits were delivered from heaven!!!

If you're in a rush and want crap to eat in your car, go elsewhere. If you're enjoying the city and want to take a break for some delicious food...swing by and RELAX.“
