Really great service! I wasn't watching my blood sugar levels and they dropped. The manager was calm and great offering to get me something to eat while our food came out. Really grateful!

Anna Wanzer

They have the best food. The shrimp Orleans is amazing and is a definite must when eating here. Oysters are fresh and clean and delicious. I would come here a million times over if I loved closer.

Jeremy

Great food right on River St with a casual atmosphere and good prices. Something for everyone. I got the low country shrimp boil and crab chowder . Both excellent!

Shout out to the homey at the black dog for recommending this place. The food was amazing and Simply Southern. Go for the gator tail and shrimp & grits to get that true Florida Georgia Line vibe!

Crab Cake Sandwich with fries : really good.Fried Green Tomatoes BLT : where has this been all of my life!! The potato salad was average. Oh well.Local beer selection is worth exploring: I did ????

Jess Keathley

Crab cake appetizer was really good, as well as the Club sandwich . Prices are a little high but that’s par for the course on River street. 4/5 stars!

Amazing food and great service. The shrimp and tortellini was to die for. Scallops were cooked perfectly and nice and fresh. Make it a point to eat here

Great place! All the food is great. Be brave and tempt your curiosities with the alligator bites. They're great! My first time. Tastes like chicken

Eryka Jennings

The Tybee crab chowder was very good. The house salad with chicken was good and was a very large portion .

You know you have found a great spot to drink when as soon as you walk in the bartender threatens to smack the person next to you.

Great little place to sit at the bar or take a beer to go -- yummy sweet potato waffle fries

I'd have to say this was the best meal I had in Savannah ... Cajun tortellini is where it's at!!

Try the shrimp n grits , pasta Alfredo , and Bloody Mary !

Better than many tourist traps, but is still a tourist trap. At least they have many seafood options . I had the Mahi poboy for lunch - not sure it was really Mahi , but it was still pretty good.

The blackened tuna bites are highly recommended. Get extra creole mustard .

The ray-gun spray bottles they use to bus tables actually ionize water, allowing them to clean the tables without harmful chemicals or plastic bottles!
