Ok, I have had the fortune of indulging in some outstanding and delicious brunch establishments in my time. From all over California to Chicago, Atlanta and many inbetween, I can honestly say that our experience at Belford's Savannah was THE BEST of them all! I would very much highly recommend this marvelous restaurant located in the heart of Savannah. From the ambiance to the exceptional attentiveness of our hostess, Shannon, we had such an exceptional time! I can most definitely vouch that their crab cake eggs Benedict (with grits and green fried tomatoes) truly were 'to die for'! Thank you very much, Belford's! read more

Came to Belford's with friends for brunch, and we had such a good experience! We arrived pretty close to 3 PM, which is when the bottomless mimosas end, but they were nice enough to let us continue a little past the cutoff. Definitely appreciated that! For my meal, I ordered the Crab Cake Benedict and OMG...it was so good! What I loved most was that the crab cakes were actually FULL of crab. Not a bunch of breadcrumbs pretending to be a crab cake. The Benedict was flavorful and definitely a brunch win for me. We were also celebrating one of our friend's birthdays, and they made it extra special by bringing out a little dessert with a candle. Such a sweet touch! Pioana took great care of us and provided excellent customer service. She was attentive, welcoming, and really helped make our brunch experience special. Good food, bottomless mimosas, great service and birthday vibes with friends--what more do you need? I would definitely come back to Belford's when visiting Savannah! read more

We decided to visit the historic Savannah. The Belford was recommended to us while on a tour. As soon as we walked up, we were greeted and seated. Our, waiter was very helpful eith making designs regarding food. They wrote great choices. The bread was delicious as well but would be even better if they used the She Crab soup as a dip. The Roasted oysters were my favorite. I can't remember the name of ny drink but it hit the spot after a 2-hour tour. If you are in the area, stop by abandoned indulge in the historical ambiance of classic system of the affluent life read more

We decided to come here for dinner and I am so glad we did. I got their halibut and the piece I got was overcooked and dry. I like my fish medium rare/medium. I told the waitress and she had it sent back. I got a different part of the fish and it was cooked perfectly. Literally melted in my mouth. My bf said it was a good call to have it sent back vs just accepting it. The waitress was super amazing and knowledgeable. My bf got the bison steak and that was really good as well. It was seasoned really well and all the sides paired well with it. read more

This restaurant is located right by the City Market and the patio if perfect for people watching. The food is a-ok, but I probably wouldn't return. We had scallops and salmon dishes and a lychee martini and negroni. All adequate but nothing special. read more

One of the best restaurants I've ever been to the green fried green tomato BLT was crazy. The elk chops were amazing. Service was amazing. Ambiance was great. Everything was really enjoyable in our experience. I'd come back again. This one of the best restaurants I've had in a while. The calamari was the best calamar I've ever had read more

The Belford is absolutely worth recommending for their creative and unique entrées. I tried their BLT, and it was such a fun twist -- the fried green tomatoes were the "bread," and it worked beautifully. The flavors were fresh, the presentation was charming, and it felt like something you can't get just anywhere. It was delicious, and I'm already looking forward to coming back to explore more of their menu. read more

I had a really unfortunate experience with Belford's on Juneteenth. I originally had plans to attend a festival, but due to the weather it got rained out; so I opted to make reservations at a black owned business instead to support. My wife and I showed up on time for our reservation and within a few minutes we were seated. After looking through the menu for about 10 minutes we noticed we hadn't had a waitress stop over, so we notified the hostess who stated they would get someone over. Another 15-20 minutes goes by and still NOTHING, at which point I am getting hungry and furious; but I opted to stay because trying to find a last minute spot in downtown Savannah on a Friday can be difficult with no wait. In the meantime we notice waitresses talking and looking at our table as if trying to decide who should take us, so finally a nervous young lady comes over and introduces herself. We explained our frustration, but advised we wouldn't take it out on her but we did want to also speak with a manager. We spoke with a manager who apologized and appeared to somewhat blame it on the waitress, but offered us free drinks to compensate us. I didn't necessarily think it was the waitresses fault and it didn't seem fair for her to solely blame her. I am not sure what the disconnect was, but we did stay and we enjoyed everything from the cocktails, appetizers and our steak. I will return because maybe it was a mishap, but with so many waitresses available and everyone being serviced around us; it did leave a bad taste in my mouth. read more

Cool historic building in a great location near City Market. The area has a lot of energy, making it a great spot for people-watching. The wait staff were friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service. The local beer was tasty and definitely one of the highlights of the meal. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the atmosphere. I ordered the $38 fried chicken, and while the portion was generous (half a chicken with mac and cheese and greens), the chicken itself had almost no flavor. The sides were decent, but nothing stood out enough to justify the price. Overall, the atmosphere and service were excellent, but the food was disappointing. I probably wouldn't return. read more

Always stop at Belford's while in Savannah. Albeit, it is overpriced and wish they offered more on the menu but the best crab cakes around. Service is fantastic, dog-friendly patio and the food is great. Kids loved the pastas dishes as well. read more

Belford's completely exceeded our expectations. We went in thinking the food may just be like any other overpriced restaurant. It's definitely not a cheap restaurant however everything we ate was absolutely delicious. Our waitress was amazing and recommend the prime ribeye and fried chicken. I was shocked at how good everything on each plate was. We even enjoyed the pre-dinner bread. We were celebrating a birthday and they helped make it special. We walked in with no reservation and they were still able to accommodate on a Monday night. We will definitely be back! read more

Fun antique classic Savannah vibes w/ current music and menu. BLT stack was my non seafood choice( bread replaced w/ extra fried green tomatoes and sugar bacon). Very filling but not easily cut w/ o spreading it all out! Seafood frittata was good and fried potatoes awesome, also very filling!! Friendly service. $45 + tip for quick lunch w/ water to drink... Menu seafood and meat!! Only one chicken entree. read more

Many of the more recent reviews are positive, despite the mediocre overall rating, so maybe I just stopped in on an off day. But my experience here was terrible. Service was cordial. I was seated right away. Not too busy or crowded. But the food and drink was a total miss. I started with the BLT stack, fried green tomatoes, candied bacon, arugula, picked red onion, black pepper parmesan aioli, and balsamic. The flavors were great--the onion and arugula offered a refreshing bite, and the candied bacon was just the right amount of chewy. The tomatoes themselves were just okay. I'm biased though because I think Vic's River Grill has the best fried green tomatoes in the area. The filet mignon was a giant disappointment. I ordered it medium and it came out well done. Flavorless. Chewy. What an absolute waste of 68 dollars. The fried potatoes also flavorless, partially too crispy on some edges. I had a rosemary based cocktail which was syrupy and sweet. It went largely untouched. Other menu items include she crab soup, shrimp and grits, grilled salmon, beef short rib, and other seafood. Hopefully it was just an off day, but it was an expensive mistake to have made, that I won't make again. read more

Yum! Shared the blt stack, arugula salad and she crab soup. They were able to do the fried green tomatoes with corn meal to accommodate gluten allergy and crispy Shallots on the side. Everything was excellent and Rose was knowledgeable and helpful regarding GF options! Great atmosphere. Others shared the discard raved about the honey butter and berry jam! read more

Delicious! We were in the mood for steak and another option we chose was booked so figured we would give this place a try -- and glad we did. My husband and I split the 18oz Wagyu Ribeye and it was sooo good! I usually need some sort of garlic butter or sauce just because I'm a sauce person but the flavor was so on point that it did not need a thing. The potatoes were probably some of the best I have had.. crunchy and flavorful! The table bread was good as well. Service great.. would go back again! read more

We stopped here on our food tour and tried the she crab soup, oysters, fried green tomatoes, bread, and fried calamari. The soup was definitely my favorite part, followed by the fried green tomatoes, then the bread, and then the calamari and the oysters. We were not fans of the balsamic glaze and all the other flavors going on. We most definitely would have just preferred an oyster with some pickle juice and cocktail sauce on the side. I can't speak to the entire menu of course but I wouldn't make it a priority to come back if we return to Savannah. read more

Incredible food and beverage! I stumbled upon Belford's looking for good dinner and a drink, jackpot! Elk chops and cocktails at the bar, Cheyenne was so fabulous, she's knowledgeable, competent, enthusiastic, professional- all the things! What a cool place, great history, I'll be back! So much more to try on this menu! read more

Great choice for a late lunch. Our waiter, Alex, gave us a lot if local history as we ordered. Cozy interior on Franklin Square. Super starters, including some of the best fried calamari I've had, garnished with blistered shishito peppers. Don't miss the smoked halibut dip. Perfectly smoked with not a lot of extraneous seasonings. Just good smoked fish flavor from start to finish. We got the biscuit tray and they were some of the best biscuits we've had. Flaky, buttery, and good to the last crumb. They came with a delicious raspberry compote and butter. I had the shrimp and grits which is in a deconstructed style witha fried grit triangle that was amazingly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. My wife, who doesn't like grits, happily helped me with it, dipping bits of it in the fruit compote. The shrimp were amazing and cooked to perfection. It also came with a side of greens, which were in the traditional style without a lot of adornment. Overall, a fantastic meal, and I would recommend Belford's wholeheartedly. read more

First of all, if you go to Savannah, you MUST stop at Belford's! Second of all, if requests can be made, ask for Bree!!!!! What an amazing server who went OVER and beyond. She was so precious and gracious. I truly appreciated her hospitality. My bestie and I dined here our first evening in Savannah. I had the southern fried chicken with WELL seasoned collards and Mac and cheese! Bestie had the shrimp greens and grits. Everything was delish. The food was the epitome of southern cuisine. Seasoned nicely and even though it was a busy hotspot, I can tell there's someone in that kitchen cooking with love. The restaurant had a cozy and comfortable feel. It's one of those restaurants that you feel like you could just stay for hours just because. The restaurant was busy, and there was a lot of chatter amongst the guests, but you never felt as if the noise level was overbearing which I found to be a delight. Back to Bree. Bree was so helpful in suggesting items on the menu, providing us with guidance to the special places to visit during our stay. If she's not, I nominate Bree to be head server if it's even a thing. If not, she should be a trainer. Bree has the IT factor and although I know she had more tables than ours she made us feel like we were her only guests. Her attention to detail and willingness to make your dining experience nothing less than stellar was amazing. I will definitely return to Belford's and I think I will have to give that tomahawk steak (at least that's what it looked like) a try, it seems to be the diner's choice. read more

We live in Savannah and eat out weekly. This was our first visit to Belford's. We reviewed the menu prior to the visit and our expectations were very high base on the exorbitant prices (we are willing to pay more for an exceptional meal). Our server, Lindberg, did an excellent job and was the highlight of the meal. The bread and the espresso martini were very good. Our main meals consisted of the short ribs and salmon. The short rib ($55) was good, but not exceptional...I could get much better at Common, Ardsley Station or Castaways at a similar or more reasonable price. The salmon ($46) was bland and clearly not wild caught...again not exceptional for the price. I had considered the 16 ounce ribeye, but at $90, I wasn't willing to take the chance. I have eaten at several excellent steakhouses in Savannah and never paid anywhere near that price for a ribeye. We both felt that we could have had a much better meal at several other restaurants in Savannah for the price point (Garibaldi is excellent and right across the street). We will not return . read more

We were pleasantly surprised by our time at Belford. We called to confirm that that dogs were allowed to accompany one for outside dining and the hostess was kind enough to confirm that they were. She is beautiful and so pleasant, I wish I asked her for her name, she has short hair and light eyes. We were promptly seated and greeted by Michael who went above and beyond with service, he is excellent at his job and very funny too. We enjoyed a burger and the fish and chips. Sitting outside was really nice! A cool breeze on a hot day at a wonderful establishment. Thank you to Michael for his phenomenal service. read more

Belford's Savannah - Al fresco dining - Steakhouses Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

I came here with my family for lunch. It's a pretty big restaurant with lots of seating indoors and outdoors. We sat indoors, since it was pretty hot outside. It took us an extremely long time to get our food (40+ minutes). There were only four of us, we didn't order anything complicated, and the restaurant wasn't that busy. Our server never came to our table to let us know why it was taking so long or to check in on us. The food itself was good. I shared a burger and a salad with one of my family members. The burger was served with crispy potatoes, which we all enjoyed. Overall, we were a bit disappointed by our experience here. read more

Wow,I can't believe I found a crab cake this good south of Maryland! It's is worth the visit. The service was also amazing. Great waiter that provided excellent recommendations and was super friendly. The BLT (not what you think!) was also incredible. read more

Enjoy some southern cuisine or a drink at the bar at this really cool venue.

This restaurant is located in the City Market area and is known for their brunch. We stopped in on Saturday for a nice indoor brunch. We were greeted by the staff and management and sat in the separate area of the restaurant which was very nice and quaint. My sister and I had to drive so unfortunately we could not do the bottomless, but we did order drinks. She ordered the top shelf margarita and I ordered the honey bee. The drinks came in these tall glasses and whoa is all I had to say. The honey bee was honeysuckle vodka, with local Georgia honey, and lemonade. It was pretty refreshing and surprisingly not sweet at all based on the ingredients listed. They were definitely strong drinks. We started off with 1/2 dozen of the baked parmesan garlic butter oysters. They came out hot and fresh from the kitchen. These oysters were plump and had a great briny taste mixed with that garlic butter. I could've eaten more! My sister and Dad both ordered the crab cake benedict, my mom ordered the arugula salad with a crab cake on the side. I went for the shrimp, green, and grits. While we waited, we got to do some people watching of the City Market - which this restaurant gives you a front row to all the action. Now for my entree - the grits came in a fried grit cake and had a great crunch on the outside. The grits consistency on the inside was thick where it would get stuck to the roof of your mouth thick. I would prefer just regular grits in a bowl. The collard greens were cooked perfectly. They were tender, had a great bite to them, and the juice of the greens was delicious as well. The shrimp were plumped and seasoned but came with this cheese melted on top was I ended up scraping off. I did like the chardonnay butter sauce and wish there was more of that instead of that melted cheese on top of the shrimp. I tried my mom's crab cake and was instantly mad I didn't order it. It was full of crab meat and the aioli sauce was tangy from the lime and savory. Next time I'm in Savannah, I'll be back to indulge in their bottomless and patio - once the weather cools down a bit. read more

We spent our Friday night at Belford's Savannah Seafood & Steaks, a gem my husband discovered while surfing YouTube. The restaurant is Black-owned and operated in excellence, and that excellence shows in every detail. We had a 7pm reservation, arrived early, and were seated right away. Our table was in a spacious dining room with only a handful of tables. The space was intimate, quiet, and not overcrowded. The oversized windows gave us a beautiful street view, which made the evening atmosphere even more charming. Our server, Sanyia, was incredible. She was warm, attentive, and present without ever being intrusive. For starters, my husband ordered the BLT Stack, a creative twist on fried green tomatoes layered with candied bacon, arugula, and pickled red onions. It was hands down the best BLT we've ever tasted. It was absolutely amazing. For our entrees, I had the seared sea scallops with risotto and broccolini. Everything was seasoned to perfection and cooked beautifully. My husband ordered the shrimp, greens, and grits, another dish bursting with flavor and made with care. Both plates were so satisfying that we had no room left for dessert! We left completely pleased with the service, the atmosphere, and the meal. We're already looking forward to our next visit. read more

The restaurant was clean and the decor was interesting and chic. The waitstaff was attentive and fun which wasn't easy with how busy they were.
