Both unfortunately were underwhelming. The bread was tough to eat and chew, the size of the sandwich was also not worth the price. The chicken well seasoned and tasted good. The nachos were under topped leaving us with 75% of the nachos chips without any toppings. The chips were very sturdy almost too thick. The flavor was nice but with only a portion being able to be eaten with the toppings, not great overall. Maybe it was an off day or not the right things to order, but left us sad for $32 later and not being satisfied. Overall we would not come back when we are back in the area and wouldn't recommend to those visiting Savannah for one meal.

The combination of the jalapeño cheddar cornbread waffle topped with sausage gravy, fluffy scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, crispy bacon, and scallions was exactly what we were looking for. Every ingredient complemented the next, creating the perfect balance of savory, smoky, cheesy, and just a subtle kick from the jalapeño. We also got the tobacco syrup on the side, which added a unique sweet-and-savory contrast that tied everything together beautifully. I also loved their ordering concept. You place your order at the counter first, grab a seat, and then the staff brings everything out to your table. It's efficient without feeling rushed, and everyone we interacted with was genuinely friendly and welcoming. The café has a cozy, bustling atmosphere with an incredible bakery display that's hard to walk past without wanting to take something home. Despite being busy, everything was clean, organized, and ran smoothly. Overall, this was an excellent breakfast experience. The unique flavors, generous yet not overly heavy portion, welcoming staff, and charming atmosphere make Goose Feathers an easy recommendation.

The BLT had that same satisfying crispy, toasted bread and was fresh and flavorful. We also tried the Caesar Salad with blackened shrimp, which was a nice lighter option, along with a side of their fries. The fries were delicious thin, crispy, fresh, and nicely salty. Definitely the kind of fries you keep reaching for even when you're already full! The Breakfast Burrito was another favorite, packed with egg, chorizo, and cheese. It was flavorful and came with tortillas and salsa on the side, which added a nice touch. The service was friendly and informative, and everything came out fresh. I also really enjoyed the cute decorations and overall ambiance of the space.

We had a group of about 14 girls on a bachelorette trip, and we showed up around 11:00 AM. There was about an hour wait, so we went and walked around for a little bit while we waited. Once we finally got seated, though, our server took care of all 14 of us SO efficiently. He was absolutely running around doing his best! Getting everyone's drinks, taking all of our food orders, and making sure everyone was taken care of. The food came out pretty quickly considering the size of our group, and he was even able to split up all of our checks for us. Overall, the service was amazing. He was great! The vibes inside were really cool, too. We were seated in a corner area where we could see people coming in and out and watch everyone walking by outside the window. There was also another bachelorette group sitting near us, so it made the whole experience even more fun. And then there was my food... SO GOOD. I got the chicken sandwich, and it was HUGE. I honestly don't even think my picture does justice to how much food comes with it. Surprisingly, the fries were really good, too. But the chicken was what really impressed me. Sometimes when you order grilled chicken, it can be super dry, but this chicken was SO tender and juicy. There wasn't a single tough or dry spot. I was full after eating half of the sandwich, but I almost ate the entire thing because I genuinely could not stop eating it! I will absolutely be back here the next time I'm in Savannah!

I love that the menu encourages you to try duck in different ways than you may be used to. I don't typically like ordering grilled cheese out since I make a pretty good one myself at home, but the duck grilled cheese called to me. I'm glad I answered because it was delicious! It had the right combo of cheeses, and the caramelized onion gave it that little pizzazz it needed. It went great with the tomato soup. My sister's duck tacos were also very good. They do a great job of cooking the duck well, which I don't think is easy. The bellinis weren't groundbreaking, but they were very fun, since there's different flavors to choose from and they come garnished with a little rubber duck.

Now, I ordered the veggie hash with the salmon on top, and what I was expecting was what I actually got from the potatoes and that breakfast wrap. The potatoes in the hash were really soft and a little on the wet side, but the potatoes that came with that wrap were perfectly seasoned and crispy, just like I like it. Since my husband ordered that, I ended up eating half of his potatoes and substituting them for my potatoes. Other than that, everything was great. He loved his wrap, he loved his jalapeno jam that it came with, and we both loved his potatoes. My hash was fine. It was a pretty basic hash. The salmon was good and well seasoned, but honestly, it was just the potatoes for me. They were just so delicious, and I will come back for that. Our server was super nice and warm and attentive. He made sure we were in and out, but without making us feel rushed. The vibe was just very homey. If you look at the history of the restaurant, it literally used to be a home, so it's still set up that way, kind of.
