What a great find on Tybee Island! The beers are great, but the food is what brings us back! My go-tos are the smoked beet salad (no dirt tasting beets here!) and the Thai chicken naan, but today I had the pimento cheese and brisket. Soft shredded brisket over top of pimento cheese served with toasted bread- So very good! My husband had the the buffalo chicken wrap and said it was just as good as the brisket quesadilla he usually gets. The staff is always personable and prompt. You will like eating here!

Consistently amazing food -- the chef is extremely talented. At this point we have ordered most of the menu and EVERYTHING has been first rate!

We were blown away by not only the fantastic brews, but the gourmet 5 star menu! The food was incredible and what you would expect from a high end cuisine. Down to earth bar and atmosphere with fun decor. We will be back thanks!!

The food and beer here should win an award if they have not. I don't think I have ever been more pleased with an establishment. Top notch. The prices were decent and both nights that we were there there was live music.

Best food on Tybee! And definitely the best food I've ever had at any brewery. Casey and the crew are outstanding. Live music on Friday was great also. Will definitely come back.

You gotta go if you’re visiting here. Wonderful food and beers and amazing service. We even showed up a bit after 9 when their kitchen closes and still made our party of 7 food.

The best food we've had all week in Savannah. Came in at 9:12 PM with a group of seven and management checked with the kitchen to make sure they could accommodate us since the kitchen had closed. They served us all and let us know there was no rush. The grilled cheese and tomato bisque is absolutely perfect for the cold season. Drinks were fantastic, service was excellent with super friendly staff. Vibe is laid back and it's cool to be able to see inside the clean kitchen. Can't wait to come back for live music! Visiting from Gainesville, Fl.

Not really a beer guy, but I am a foodie - don’t miss this place, very good food,
Disappointing Experience – Hours Not as Advertised
Very disappointing experience at Back River Brewery. According to their website, the kitchen is open until 9:00 PM. My family arrived around 8:30 PM expecting to be able to order food, only to be told that the kitchen was already closed.
If your family is looking for a place to eat around 8:30 in the evening, I would avoid this place. When a business can’t honor the hours they publicly advertise, it raises concerns about reliability overall—and frankly makes me question the quality and consistency of the food as well.
Accurate hours matter, especially for families planning dinner. Unfortunately, this visit was a letdown.

I am so glad we stumbled upon this hidden gem!! You enter to go upstairs through a Mexican restarting, but don’t let it fool you. I didn’t try the beers because I didn’t want to get full, but the food was incredible and we can’t stop talking about it!! I want to take the 4 hour trip back just to eat there. The Pimento Chrese Brisket appetizer was to die for, the Brisket Quesadilla was incredible, and so was the Smoked Turkey Sandwich. The cucumber salad was so unique as it was creamy and so full of a unique flavor. At first it seemed a bit pricey, but once you Taste it and the fresh ingredients, you can see why. A must try!

A casual, awesome local bar and restaurant. Really feels like this is the place where everyone knows your name. Outstanding craft beers brewed on-site, specialty/ gourmet food made from scratch. The bruschetta was the best I've ever had and the brisket quesadilla was a hefty portion. Owners happened to be there and made us feel very welcome.

Bartenders, food, beverages everything is always great every time we go. I miss the veggie wrap they had years ago and I wish the place was bigger! Great all around place!

Awesome staff and a dang good sour. So thankful for this brewery on Tybee. Go to the stairs and hang out. You'll be glad you did. I'll definitely be back.
