    Grit bowl!!!
    Leonor C.

    Delicious food!! The best grit bowl ever!! Thanks to the chef!! You must try this !!

    Mimosa & awesome blueberry muffin
    Karen R.

    Such nice staff. Bread is awesome... In the pastries and rolls. Egg sandwich - meatballs sub! Mimosa served right.,double for less Order & take a seat and the bring it to you!

    Out uneaten non-cheesy eggs and super tough sausage.

    We went as a group of 5. My daughter, husband, and I ordered the "Wake Up Breakfast". My daughter and I ordered our eggs scrambled with cheese. When ours came we tried the eggs and noticed there was no cheese. When the "server" finally checked on us I informed her there was no cheese in our eggs. She replied she could check with the cook. She came back and told us he said he put cheese. Then said "he makes these all the time so there is no way he forgot". The sausage was tough, none of us ate it or the eggs. Drink options are limited so we got water. We had small plastic cups to fill out of a drink dispenser. I will not go back. Overpriced and overrated.

    The food & coffee was excellent, & the service was comforting. The cashier & cooks were kind & warm. The space is cozy & filled with natural light. A wonderful spot to sit & read.

    We popped in for breakfast one morning while on a weekend getaway and we had an excellent breakfast! We shared the egg sandwich and it was loaded with huge mushrooms, sausage, bacon, and two eggs! The eggs were cooked perfect and the mushrooms were amazing on the sandwich. The baguette was super soft and tasted so fresh! I enjoyed a Prosecco along side my latte! They have a few tables inside and outside, after ordering you choose your own seat. Highly recommend!

    After the farmers market, we went to Alexander's for a quick bite to eat. It was delicious. The staff was helpful and the prices were reasonable.

    Slow Start Scramble
    Mark S.

    We are visiting from out of town and wanted to try this place. The service was good. They were accommodating on changes to the Grit bowl (removing the bacon). The open ceiling concept and faux-wood tile floors make for a very loud environment. The service was fast and everyone was friendly. I had the Slow Start breakfast. It was great. The scallions and shallots really added a different dimension to the dish. I'd give it 5/5 My wife had the Grits bowl. She said it was bland lacking seasoning. The diced tomatoes on top were oily and bitter and that detracted from the taste. She gave it a 3/5 The specials board has a lot of interesting offerings, so we will be back.

    Sausage roll, $6 and Quiche $6

    Don't have an order window for customers with dogs if you're going to ignore them. See my prior review as the manager or owner touted this perk on a prior visit. I waited for 11 minutes, and watched through the window, customer inside being waited on after I arrived. Finally, I spoke to a male waiter that was delivering food to an outside table, and he took my order. Eliminate this service window if you're not going to wait on a dog lover.

    Baloo Berry Muffin
    Katie M.

    My friend's and I are on an "Alphabet Adventure" of Savannah's food scene. So, we started here on Sunday morning to check off the letter "A". We were super excited about this place after reading the reviews, but felt our experience was pretty average. Drinks: For obvious reasons, we first ordered the coffee sampler flight. However, we were informed they no longer offer this super cool option (it's still on the menu so, FYI!). So, my two gals friends settled for a lemon meringue latte & white chocolate mocha - the former is a MUST, so good. Food: I had the Full Breakfast - very basic IMO, so wish I would have branched out. One friend ordered Shrimp & Grits and it didn't settle great for her. The other ordered the Slow Start Scramble and she seemed pleased. We all shared the Baloo Berry Muffin, which was very sharable & tasty, but thought it could use some cinnamon crumbles on top. I would def be interested in coming back to try lunch or a coffee myself, as other menu items look good. Not sure I'd go out of my way to try again, but it's in a good location near Forsyth, so could find me here giving another try on my next visit to the Park.

    Alexander's is a bistro that you should visit. I'm glad that I did! Between the great food, service, and location I only have love for this new cafe and restaurant. It is conveniently located one block away from Forsyth Park. So it is a quick stroll if you are in the area. It is right at the corner of Bull Street and Duffy Street. You can park on the surrounding streets for free. Local 11 Ten is across the street if you need a building to look for. They offer seating indoors and outdoors. From the outside the bistro looks small. But once you step inside, wow so much space! There are multiple tables, banquets, and a small bar dining area too. I love the large windows and art on the walls. The counter where you order is to your right when you walk in. There is a digital menu up on wall. But they also have paper menus as well. And large menus directly printed on the wall in front of the registers. They serve breakfast, brunch, lunch, and small bites to eat. For drink options there are coffees, teas, beers, and wines. We enjoyed breakfast on Saturday morning with the following: slow start scramble for each of us, a side of fresh fruit, dirty chai latte, & the Elizabeth latte. The slow start scramble was delicious! And beautiful to look at too. It is scrambled eggs, white cheddar, shallots, bacon, and scallions, on a brioche bun. I got mine without cheese. It is a lot of food. I was only able to eat one half of my bun. The one item I would not suggest is the fresh fruit. It was certainly not all fresh. We each enjoyed our coffee beverages. They came in clear mugs. These are my favorite! And gorgeous with an edible flower too! The service was excellent. Everyone was friendly. We had questions since it was our first time in the bistro. Our questions were answered promptly and politely. All of our food and beverages were brought to us in a timely manner with a smile. We were thanked at the register for coming in. And when we were leaving we were thanked as well. This new bistro should be added to your must visit list!

    A cute little corner bistro, good variety of brunch options. Friendly staff. Food was decent for the price. Coffee was flavorful. Not an over expensive spot. ^However I'm rating this as average 3/5 for the worker that decided to touch my newborn without asking. Made me feel some type of way.

    TERRIBLE! Just kidding...and now that will be the first word that all eyes go to.... Joking aside.. All the reviews were spot on accurate. The "Baloo berry" muffin had the decadent crispy top, the inside was so (yes here i go) moist. No butter needed. The spicy turkey w bacon sub was made fresh to order. Even the in house bread tasted fresh. And the latte...uh may I R.I.P.. This place is small yet cute. Like a little French bistro...w/o the French. Im glad I went 19min out of my way of heading back to myrtle Beach..to stop for brunch. Pro tip.. Breakfast goes from 8am-11am. But pastries are served all day.

    Cinnamon & Honey Latte
    Alison B.

    We passed this spot while visiting White Whale Craft Ales next door (which I highly recommend!). There is a laid back vibe and a menu with a lot of variety. The decor is mostly local art work and neutral furniture. There are a handful of tables inside and about two tables outside. We went on a Sunday when they had their brunch menu. You order at the counter and food is brought to you. The coffee was delicious! I highly recommend the iced honey & cinnamon latte! My friend got the cold brew and that was good as well. The blueberry muffin was pretty good and the quiche was tasty. The scotch egg was not it. It should have a soft boiled egg in the center with a yolk that is solid but not cooked through. This egg was hard boiled. Overall the coffee was better than the food, but I enjoyed it as a light breakfast.

These are a must try if you like wings. Chicken and pancake tacos were delicious. Pancakes had a touch of sweetness. Fried chicken inside with a spicy mayo. Topped with a strawberry salsa that worked well. 3 of these were very filling. Fun and very good. Son had the double wide footlong. Topped with sloppy Joe. After that the 2 sides were different. One had fried banana peppers. The other side more classic with toppings. Son said it was really good. Others had the ahi tuna salad. Tuna was perfectly rare. Salad was good and the wasabi dressing had great flavor without being too spicy. Service was quick even though jam packed. Also very friendly.

    Treylor Park was probably exactly what we needed at 11:30 at night…read more It's somewhere between a diner and a sports bar, but the decor is what makes it. The whole place is designed to feel like the inside of a trailer--spray-painted antique chandeliers, old pictures of different trailer parks, and random little details everywhere. It's kitschy, but very intentional, and honestly pretty cool. We came in late after a 4h drive into town after work, and the staff was still super friendly and accommodating. No "we're about to close" energy, which I appreciated. We started with the creamy collard dip, which is basically their take on spinach-artichoke dip, but with collards. Really good. I do think the chips were a little too heavy for the dip--a thinner chip would've been perfect--but that's a small note. The chicken pancake tacos were probably my favorite. The chicken was fried perfectly and still really moist. And at this point, I'm convinced Savannah just knows how to cook chicken. Everywhere we went, the chicken was consistently good. My partner got the grilled apple pie sandwich, which has fried chicken, grilled apples and bacon. He's not even a big pork person, but that bacon was so crispy and the whole combination just worked. Even the waffle fries were good--crispy, fresh and actually seasoned. We had the Grateful Dead and Wicked Kiwi cocktails, plus a couple of shots, and the drinks were strong, good and reasonably priced. Honestly, I don't have a ton of notes here. It's not trying to be some elevated dining experience. It's just a really good late-night spot with good food, strong drinks, friendly service and a fun atmosphere. We sat inside because Savannah in August was not about to have us sitting on anybody's patio. Definitely recommend, especially if you're looking for somewhere to eat late. It was a vibe, the food was good, and it did exactly what it needed to do.

    An Absolute Must-Visit in Savannah!…read more Our group of food-loving travelers had one of the best dining experiences we've had in a long time at Common Thread. From the moment we sat down until the last bite, every course exceeded our expectations. We started with the oysters, which were incredibly fresh and perfectly prepared. The shaved beef was an absolute standout--one of those dishes you can't stop talking about long after the meal. The yellowfin tuna was pristine, buttery, and beautifully balanced. The salads were anything but ordinary. Both the watermelon salad and the tomato salad were bursting with fresh, vibrant flavors that showcased just how incredible simple ingredients can be when they're done right. For the entrées, the gnocchi was delicious, but the real stars were the New York strip and the roasted potatoes. The steak was cooked perfectly, and those potatoes may have been the best we've ever had. The red snapper was light, flaky, and had just the right amount of spice to elevate every bite. Richard's Chicken was unbelievably tender, juicy, and literally melted in your mouth. What truly elevated the evening was our server, Lindsey. She was warm, knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely made us feel like welcomed guests. She even took the time to recommend local attractions and things to do around Savannah, making our entire trip better. If Yelp allowed it, she'd get 10 out of 5 stars. Exceptional food, outstanding service, and an unforgettable experience. Common Thread has earned a place among the very best restaurants we've ever visited. We can't wait to come back the next time we're in Savannah.

So, that felt terrific, given their attention to making the space handicap accessible. I would only return for that specific reason - not for the food. We were there for a birthday, so we got the tasting menu and was told that it was served family style. We were 3 people, but for each course they brought out 2 plates of food (except for a single plate for the salad course). So, it felt weird sharing the dishes, like you didn't just get half and then to take 1/3 of 2 plates is also peculiar. Why not serve each course genuinely family style on a larger dish? For example, I usually tried 1/2 of each plate, but then there were some leftovers. And, one of the courses (the salad) came only on one tiny plate, and there was only one piece of the peach. So, there was no way to split that at all. They also brought us all new empty dishes and silverware after every course. It would have been easier to just give us each our own portion on our own plates. I kept thinking about all the dishes that they would need to wash, and it felt so wasteful. In fact, we had to ask for serving spoons, as they didn't offer that with the family style either. And honestly, the best course was the fried potatoes. They also brought us each one tiny tator tot with fancy sauce which was good. But, so tiny that it wasn't enough. The worst course was the tri tip meat. It had been cooked very rare which I like. But, it was so chewy that I found myself having to chew and chew and ... well, I couldn't eat. None of us liked that course, and it felt like a shame to leave it behind. I researched tri tip, and it seems that it needs to be cut in a certain way. The dessert was also really good. But overall, I was disappointed. Some places feel too fancy, and they forget that people are there to actually eat something rather than be confused by trying to guess what they are eating. For example, the delicious tator tot had a smoked oyster mayo sauce. But, the quantity of the sauce was so sparse, I didn't notice the oyster flavor at all. I suppose that my review may be heavy handed. I do appreciate that they provide farm to table, but they didn't take the time to profile that either.

Looking around at the tables around us nothing really caught our eye after reading the menu, we didn't want to leave since we were able to get reservations so we got some starters and shareables. There was a couple next to us who was having the same dilemma after over hearing their conversation. The kale salad was okay but a little bitter for my liking and the potato soup had a thick layer of oil on the top which looked intentional but wasn't our cup of tea. The cornbread and mashed potatoes were good but nothing crazy in our opinion to write home about. Service was okay on our end, once our waiter realized we weren't getting any main entrees it felt like he ghosted us with no water until our food came out and then never came back to check in on us until he brought the check. We are going to try to come again next time we are in town in hopes we have a better experience and different menu!

    In Savannah for work. Cotton & Rye was suggested on my previous trip but couldn't swing it because…read moreI flew in and out the same day. This time however ... I didn't have a reservation but I showed up minutes before opening to see if I could just grab a spot at the bar or luck out with a table since 1. it's a party of one and 2. I arrived before they opened. I should have bought a lottery ticket because not only did I get a seat, I had an experience that I won't soon forget. Starting with parking. There's a lot next to the restaurant. There's also street parking. I showed up early and was the second car in the lot. There was street parking too but when I left later in the evening, I didn't see spots available then. Then there was the service. EA was aces. She was friendly. Knowledgeable. Attentive. Just go down the list of all the attributes of someone you'd like to represent an establishment in the service industry and you'd check every single box. The team was just as great. As business picked up, the team took care of little things - even just checking in to see how I was doing. Then the food. See pics. I went with all of EA's recommendations including the wine pairings and dessert. If you're a follower, you know that I recommend checking out reviews we have in common to see if our tastes align - but here are my thoughts: Started with the Ceviche. Liked the flavor, though it was missing a punch like it was muted for my taste. I still cleared the plate. I really enjoyed the fried chicken, corn bread and broccolini. I liked both the seafood and mac & cheese but felt they didn't stand out like the fried chicken an corn bread. Remember now, that's my taste buds. I inhaled the panna cotta. Dessert is never optional. I'll sum it up and say that I'd order everything I had again, just probably not the mac & cheese. It was my first meal in Savannah. First time at Cotton & Rye. It won't be my last. And I don't even live in Savannah.

    Well this spot wasn't on my radar and that is too sad. I loved our visit! Wishing I had visited…read moresooner. Our server EA, was warm, engaged & knowledgeable.All We had Caesar salads & also their octopus app. For entrees: hot honey chicken, rainbow trout, vegetarian pasta dish and I had the fabulous smash burger with broccolini on the side. It was all so well executed. I could go back tonight! Their pastry chef is a genius. I mean it. Desserts were spectacular. Banana pudding was my favorite. Please consider Cotton & Rye soon! It doesn't disappoint! One of Savannahs best dining options! WE WILL BE BACK!

    You must come here at least once to experience this food, service and ambiance…read more Elizabeth on 37th is located in a huge old mansion with dining spread out all over the various rooms. We were sat in what I believe used to be a front parlour, by a window over looking the street. We had a dual service with one person being the "main" server, his name was Michael. He was in charge of giving us the spiel and answering our questions. A woman (I forget her name, sorry! But she was lovely) was in charge of running the food and clearing the plates. It was a very well run machine. The menu is pre set, but there were choices on some of the courses, like course where an option was a soft shelled crab - I definitely wanted to take advantage of that! We started off with Biscuits with butter and homemade orange marmalade, these were delightful, so fluffy and soft, and the marmalade was sweet, not bitter like it sometimes can be. The Amuse bouche was a trio of tiny items: a pimento cheese tart, a mussel with chipotle sauce and panko, and a square of salmon with mild wasabi and ginger. The salmon was definitely my favorite. The fifth course had a special as I noted before, so I opted to go for that, it was a soft shell crab with garlic, herbs and a vidalia onion slaw. Topped with peanuts and a white wine sauce. I think my favorite course of them all was the scallops with the carrots and the whipped ricotta - so simple but so delicious! Phenomenal special occasion place or just to cross off your bucket list. If I am in Savannah again (and the likelihood is high, its such an amazing city), I will be back.
