    Fried flounder, mac n cheese, red rice, green beans, corn bread
    Lisa W.

    My first time here. I had driven pass this restaurant several times and always wanted to stop in. Finally made it and I wasnt disappointed. Unfortunately, on my day of visit, there were no collard greens...ughh!! I ordered the flounder and chose green beans with mac n cheese as my sides. The fish is served with red rice, but was shocked the red rice didnt have sausage. I've become accustomed to sausage. Despite that, the flounder was amazing. I SAID AMAZING!! The mac n cheese was pretty good, right around an 8/10. The green beans had no burst of flavor, a tad bit of salt needed. Personally, I use a little chicken bouillon. Nevertheless, i enjoyed my meal. The owner was present and very kind. I will be returning for collards.

    Fried shrimp platter

    We were told to try this place by the manager of the Beech Institute, a school turned museum funded and created by freed blacks 2 centuries ago. We came and unfortunately, a lot of the food we wanted to try was gone. But what was there was outstanding! The cabbage was slap yo momma good. I was talking to one of the chefs and told her I was gluten free and she made sure to fry my shrimp in just corn meal, not flour as she would normally. My youngest daughter had the friend fish and ate everything within 10-15 silent minutes. Food tasted like home. The service was like family fixing you a plate. My one issue is that some food was a bit salty for me. But I felt more like that was a flavor choice rather than an issue with the food. I was very happy.

    The food was delicious and the service was excellent. All orders were cooked to order. It's best to go early in the day when they have all items available. This is definitely a place I'll be coming back to when I'm in the area.

    The food was phenomenal, I'm a foodie so I'll drive to receive great food and customer service with a smile. The fish was seasoned nicely, Mac and Cheese was very delicious, collard greens was like my grand mother was back in the kitchen cooking. Everything was slap your momma good. I'm a Regional Executive Chef and highly recommend this hidden treasure to anyone that's looking for a wonderful home cooked meal.

    Left a graduation and was looking for food and stumbled upon the sign at the corner of East broad st and it didn't disappoint. Shrimp, fish, cabbage was fire. And the cinnamon rolls are hands down the best I've ever had. Thank me later

    Fish & Shrimp Rice & 2 Sides

    Great food! We took our food to go and food was still hot when we got back home. All food is cooked to order. We ordered the fish & shrimp, smothered pork chop. It was all amazing! Will visit again when in the area!

    Not a fancy place, but super nice folks and some of the best, most authentic southern soul food I've ever had (I've had a lot) if your looking for atmosphere keep scrolling, outstanding food, you found it.

It was giving chain restaurant a little more than I expected. We tried the grilled oyster sampler, and while they all looked slightly different, somehow they all tasted like variations of Rockefeller. I could not tell you which was which. The she-crab soup? Absolutely not. Zero flavor. I took one bite and sent it back, and I rarely send food back. The shrimp & grits were... interesting. Very sweet, very corn-forward, and the texture was more porridge/cream of wheat than the thick, savory grits I had in mind. Was it terrible? No. On a rainy day, I could actually see myself eating a bowl of it. But if you tell me shrimp & grits, my mouth has already prepared for something completely different. Now--the fried green tomatoes? THAT was the star. Crispy, topped with a little crab salad and this hot sauce that pulled the whole thing together. The crab cakes were pretty solid too, especially with the two sauces, and the collard greens were tender and well done. Overall, I'd come back for lunch, oysters, drinks and a few appetizers. But dinner reservation? I'm not jumping through hoops. Savannah has too many really good restaurants for that. 3/5 -- cute, fun, a few hits, but the food needed a little more love.

Been here for both dinner and lunch. All this said, I think my approach to this review is comprehensive. With regard to food, I think they have a decent (not expansive) selection of food, which I think lends itself to quality. They do most things really well. This said, I do think there is inconsistency based on staff at the restaurant. On one occasion they have accommodated a request, and on another I was denied the exact same request. I found this frustrating. On one occasion I've also seen management talk down to staff here, which is a big no no for me. All people (especially staff) are due respect and this rubbed me the wrong way. This was an isolated incident but it definitely made my dining experience uncomfortable. Especially because I was getting excellent service from the server!!! I've always had quality service from servers here. In the future, I would come to Rhett for convenience as a hotel guest (the hotel is lovely), but would likely not spend my money if I wasn't staying at the hotel. Overall- it's good food, decent ambiance... but there are soooo many good options in Savannah. You have to be exceptional to stand out in that city.

    After capturing several ghosts in Savannah, I found myself in desperate need of a proper meal, a…read morestrong drink, and a place where the spirits would remain in their glasses. That search led me to The Olde Pink House--a magnificent historic mansion dating back to 1771, now home to one of Savannah's most memorable restaurants. The décor is beautiful, with antique furnishings, fireplaces, elegant woodwork, chandeliers, and enough historical character to make any ghost hunter feel immediately at home. The building is surprisingly large, with numerous dining rooms, each decorated and arranged differently. Exploring it feels almost like wandering through a well-preserved haunted mansion--though thankfully, the staff were much friendlier than the ghosts I had recently captured. The food was excellent, and everyone in our party enjoyed what they ordered. I'm not usually much of a beer drinker, but I tried the Hostess City, a craft beer brewed exclusively for The Olde Pink House, and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. Our server was wonderful, and we were even able to exchange ghost stories with them. We all had a good laugh, although I'm fairly certain one of the portraits nearby was laughing along with us. We arrived dressed entirely in black, and not a single person batted an eye. In Savannah, this is apparently considered perfectly respectable evening attire--or perhaps everyone simply assumed we were attending a funeral for one of the restless dead. After dinner, we asked whether we could explore the other sections of the restaurant, and we were told it would be no problem. We were able to visit the different dining rooms and examine the antiques and objects respectfully without disturbing the other guests. Be sure to visit the bar downstairs, Planters Tavern. It has a wonderfully haunted atmosphere, with brick walls, old-world décor, and a beautiful fireplace that must be especially inviting during the winter months. The basement's fireplaces were reportedly part of the home's original kitchen, which only adds to the feeling that the room remembers far more than it lets on. The Olde Pink House offers excellent food, beautiful surroundings, friendly service, and just enough supernatural atmosphere to keep a ghost hunter interested. I arrived looking for somewhere to recover from the night's haunting. I left well fed, pleasantly spirits-laden, and only mildly concerned that one of the ghosts may have followed me home.

The chicken-fried lobster was excellent. The butter beans and collard greens were outstanding, and the cheddar grits were out of this world! The sweet potato ravioli was also very good. The fish special was good, although it tasted a little fishy for our preference. Dessert was a great finish to the meal. We were able to eat downstairs in the basement, which was such a treat given the history of the building. The atmosphere, food, and service made it a memorable Savannah experience. Definitely a five-star meal!

It's right in the heart of downtown off Congress Street and across from the Rail Pub. There is street parking, but being downtown, it can definitely be limited. I finally stopped in after dinner hours around 7pm on Friday. Since it was date night we ordered the raw tower, which comes stacked with everything under the sun: oysters, shrimp, snow crab, lobster and mussels. I also ordered scallops and asked if it could be prepared without butter because of my dairy allergy. The kitchen has no problem making them with olive oil instead. Super delicious! I enjoyed it so much that I came back the following weekend with friends. I made reservations online during happy hour (4-6pm) and we were lucky enough to be seated in the small back dining room tucked away behind the bar. Our server was wonderful and very attentive, and I especially appreciated that she actually paid attention to the allergy notes I included with my reservations. Of course we all ordered a dozen oysters each because they're $1 during happy hour and who can beat that? I ordered the scallops again because I liked them so much the first time, and around the table we had a mixture of lobster, mussels, dressed oysters, turtle cheesecake, finishing everything off with espresso martinis. Hands down delicious. The service was top-tier too. Our server never hovered, but somehow always checked on us at just the right time and made sure we had everything we needed. Two great visits so far and I'll absolutely be back to try more of the menu.

Unfortunately, that may be where the greatness ends. We ordered varying dishes: fried chicken sandwich with collard greens, fried shrimp and fish basket with fries, and burgers. There was one consistent theme throughout: bland. The shrimp and fish tasted like...water? And I don't mean a seafood taste, but as one in our party described it: like licking your arm. Just flavorless and uninspiring. The crust and color on the chicken sandwich looked like I was about to bite into a life-altering morsel. But alas, I tasted chicken. And nothing else. We had very high hopes and were let down. I don't know if it was off day or what, but the food left a lot to be desired.

Sitting along the river while watching massive cargo ships slowly make their way toward the Atlantic creates one of those uniquely Savannah experiences you simply can't find anywhere else. Our server, Matthew, was outstanding. Friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely made the evening even more enjoyable. Service like his is a big part of what turns a great meal into an unforgettable one. Now, the food... The crab cake was one of the best I've ever had--easily 95% lump crab with barely any filler. Just fresh, sweet crab prepared perfectly. The beef carpaccio was elegant, incredibly flavorful, and disappeared far too quickly. Then came the French onion soup. There's a reason the National Onion Association recognized it as the best. Rich, deeply caramelized, perfectly balanced, and topped with a blanket of bubbling cheese. Without question, the best French onion soup I've ever had. The black truffle scallops were buttery, tender, and absolutely decadent. The evening's special--a blackened filet paired with shrimp linguine--was phenomenal. The filet was cooked to perfection, and the shrimp linguine brought bold Cajun flavors that made us feel like we had been transported straight to Louisiana. To finish it all off, watching enormous cargo ships leave the Port of Savannah bound for destinations around the world while enjoying an incredible meal is an experience all its own. Vic's on the River delivered on every level: exceptional food, first-class service, and an atmosphere that's impossible to duplicate. This wasn't just another dinner--it was one of the highlights of our trip to Savannah. Don't leave without ordering the French onion soup. And if you're lucky enough to have Matthew as your server, you're in for a memorable evening.

We were seated in a corner near the bathrooms, and when I asked if we could have a table with a river view, I was told they had all been requested already. Nothing on the menu really stood out to me, so I ordered a wedge salad and a glass of wine. My husband had the French onion soup and a Caesar salad. The complimentary biscuits were definitely the highlight of the meal. They were warm, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The food itself was good, and the service was perfectly fine, but nothing about the experience felt memorable or special. Overall, it was just a middle-of-the-road dining experience. Personally, I wouldn't go out of my way to recommend it or return.
