We came for a late lunch and were seated promptly by the window overlooking the river. Note there is no outside seating. We ordered Fish & Chips, a burger and a pretzel. Fish was most and tender with a light batter. French fries were golden brown and delicious. The burger was juicy and cooked perfectly. The pretzel was massive, chewy and salty- beer cheese was a great complement. Adrian was a great server- attentive and friendly. Highly recommend- will come back read more

Boars Head Grill - Pecan pie.. warm - Seafood Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

My wife and I paid a visit to the Boar's Head Grill & Tavern - the oldest continuously operating restaurant on Savannah's waterfront. Housed in a beautifully refurbished 18th-century cotton warehouse, the restaurant exudes a warm, historic ambiance with its exposed brick walls and views of the Savannah River. To start, we settled in with drinks from the bar, taking in the rich history of the place. For my entrée, I ordered the much-talked-about Low Country Shrimp and Grits, a choice I did not regret. The dish was phenomenal: plump shrimp and savory andouille sausage were sautéed with sweet red peppers in a rich Cajun spice butter sauce, all served over creamy cheddar cheese grits. The flavors were expertly balanced and incredibly satisfying, easily one of the best versions of this Southern classic I've had. read more

Boars Head is right on the river, in a good location. You can't miss it, it is just across the street from the trolly stop. I came in for a late lunch and had most of the restaurant to myself. To start off, my waiter, I believe his name was Kevin, was FANTASTIC. 5 stars for him. He was friendly, a bit silly, and made sure I was taken care of. I ordered Chef Philip's Crab Cake sandwich. And it was...disappointing. The crab cake was bland, it was also about a half inch wider than the piece of french bread it was on, and the whole thing just kind of came apart. The remoulade was tasty and added some zip, but you aren't paying $20 for a lettuce tomato and remoulade sandwich. The fries were tasty. It is an old stone building and has a great view of the river. I was told by a local that Boars Head can be hit or miss, but when they hit, it is out of the park. Maybe I just ordered the wrong thing. But if you are going to put your name on a dish, it should be a hit. read more

Boars Head Grill - Crab cake sandwich - Seafood Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

The service was very good but a little slow on the drinks. The food was solid. We shared fried green tomatoes, Caesar salad, crabcake, she-crab soup, red fish, special, and crème brûlée. For drinks, we had a peartini and an old-fashioned. Both were good, not great. The standouts were the crabcake, the red fish, and the crème brûlée. The fried green tomatoes were in balsamic glaze with feta cheese, which was a nice twist on a classic. The Caesar salad was the weak part of the meal. It was way too big. I would rather they focused on higher quality ingredients than copious amounts of lettuce. We did not enjoy the soup. read more

Came here for the first time with my husband on a Saturday night. We had a reservation so I had no problem getting seated pretty quickly. Our server came over within a few minutes and got us started off with some drinks. For our entrée, my husband, and I both did the ribeye and crabcake entrée with a baked potato. I switched out my asparagus for the cheesy grits. The food came out really fast and was absolutely delicious! The cheesy grits were some of the best I've ever had! Highly recommend if you're in the area. read more

Second time visiting within two years and still impressed! Wonderful service and such an inviting historic ambiance right on the Savannah River. Enjoyed the bouillabaisse and the shrimp-stuffed crab pasta. So rich in flavor and generous portions. Prices are appropriate for the quality of food you are receiving. My favorite dining experience in Savannah! read more

First time visiting this establishment. Staff was friendly. Seating was quaint. Food was above average. Honestly a little too early to judge much. Will visit again and update. read more

This place is located right on river street. You have to walk up a small little hill to get to the entrance as it's on a second floor. You can make reservations but it wasn't necessary on our visit. There were plenty of tables available and we were seated immediately. We started with the hummus (6 out 10) and she crab soup. (8 out 10). Hummus had a weird tomato glaze, peppers and jelly on top? Not our thing. I would ask for that to be removed or on the side next time. Toasted bread had butter on it. A little greasy but tasty. The crab soup was probably some of the best soup I've ever had. I dream about going back and getting more! I thought it would be too rich and creamy but it was actually more like a stew. So flavorful. Entrees we got the shrimp and grits (9/10) and the blackened fish sandwich (8/10). The catch of the day was swordfish and that was served in the blackened fish as the fish option. The fish sandwich could use a better bun, it's a little dry. Shrimp and grits were incredible and had pieces of sausage in there too. Highly recommend. Staff was friendly prices were reasonable. We would come again read more

The food I would say was hit or miss. My family had the Boar's Head Burger which they all liked very much. The Chicken Picatta was yummy according to my mom. The service was really nice and attentive. It is a very quiet restaurant which is nice compared to all the loud pubs around. Overall it's a nice restaurant to go to but nothing out of this world. read more

Boars Head Grill - Stuffed Shrimp - Seafood Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

Will not disappoint you. Our food was excellent, the service was top notch, and the menu has a wide range of choices, from a bluefin tuna special to mahi mahi with angel hair to a 1/2 lb. burger or a hot dog. The fried green tomatoes with balsamic glaze drizzled was a great way to start the meal. Our server Katie was attentive and friendly, as are the other staff. When I complimented their chef for making a mahi filet that was both crispy edged and tender and juicy, he was gracious and modest. If you're at the Riverwalk and not sure where to eat, everyone in your group will be able to find something great here. read more

Highly recommend. Excellent food and drinks, cozy ambiance, and outstanding service. In our dining group, all food got rave reviews. The crab cakes were large and flavorful. The house made hummus and crisp large pita chips were very good. The grilled salmon fillet was cooked perfect and the tasty cheesy grits were filling. The spinach Mediterranean salad with a topping of fish was great - a large serving and delicious. We had the special of blackened swordfish which also was excellent. We were so full that we had to skip dessert, but they looked fantastic and our neighboring tables seemed to love them. read more

First time visiting and the location was perfect, the style was spot on. I love the basement feel. Our sever explained all the highlights and what was out and what in. The food itself was very tasteful, I really cleaned my plate. The only thing that was a deterrent was the water glass that had lipstick stains all around the glass, we didn't notice it until after our meal ,getting ready to drink from it. But I will definitely try this place again. read more

Boars Head Grill - Grilled Salmon Filet, perfect - Seafood Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

I was in town with a large group of people looking for a nicer dinner and we settled on Boars Head Grill. It's located right along the water and is easily accessible walking from the city center. Because we had about 20 people, our party was split into two groups. The other table had spectacular service. He was extremely attentive and always ready to provide a refill or take an order. Our table's service was fine. However, seeing the contrast play out in real time made our service feel much worse. As for food, I had the steak and crab cakes. I requested my steak cooked medium and it came out pretty much exactly medium. That was not the case for other members of my party. Instead it was a classic Goldilocks with one cooked well and one cooked rare even though we all ordered medium. The crab cake was delicious though. read more

Lunch. I got a seat at the Bar with a window overlooking the Savannah River. Saw a Barge go by. HUGE. Got the Burger. Very tasty.

After spending a day exploring Savannah, we decided to try the local Boar's Head Grill overlooking the riverfront. It is a cozy tavern with window seating so we had a view of the water. Our server was Sharon, and she was very pleasant and welcoming. It was a very hot day in downtown Savannah so we were happy to take a seat and settle in here. We started off with an Oysters Rockefeller appetizer. Cheesy and Delicious. For entrees, we tried the black eyed peas burger, stuffed shrimp (2 of us ordered that: so good!) and a Chicken Caesar salad. Food here was carefully prepared and really tasty. I loved the shrimp stuffed with crabmeat. It was very filling! The black eye pea burger was yummy and looked great. The chicken Caesar salad was enormous and very delicious too. Loved the ambiance here as well. Boar's Head is located in a charming, old building, but the food is classy and nicely prepared! If you are in Savannah, stop in to the Boar's Head Grill and Tavern. Ask for a table by the window for a beautiful view! read more

Super cool spot with amazing food!! Will go back again when we visit Savannah which I hope will be soon.

We chose this restaurant by a local recommendation - they suggested the shrimp and grits. The location lovely, ideally located in the historic downtown area. So pretty. The ambiance of the restaurant was very nice. We loved it! The shrimp and grits were wonderful! Recommend. read more

Braving the age-old stairs on the way in is worth it for a meal at Boar's Head. It's non-pretentious service with high-end cuisine for a delightful experience. With a group of six, appetizers were on the agenda. Our server talked us into a shrimp dish which was basically a precursor to the amazing shrimp and grits main course item. More on that later. This was delicious, and the creamy grits outshined the shrimp (shrimp was also tasty). We also got crab cakes, which were legit with lots of lump crab and little filler. Our Maryland resident however said she never eats crab "away from home"". Her loss. One of us got the fish special with "poison" sauce. Just kidding it was hoisin but it was great seeing her reaction. That was thoroughly enjoyed, as were the other various seafood choices. Since it was my last night in town, and I hadn't gotten shrimp and grits this trip, it was time. I kind of already knew it would be amazing after the appetizer. Confirmed. So creamy, so flavorful, I made the right choice and was glad I didn't order this for breakfast or lunch. It was going to be nighty-night after this comfort food. But first, my colleague talked me into splitting bread pudding. This was excellent among the 4-5 other choices: key lime and creme brulee were enjoyed by others as well. It was a nice finale to my time in Savannah. read more

Boars Head Grill - Low Country Shrimp & Grits - Seafood Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

A true classic grill and tavern in every sense. From the traditional decor to the tasty beers and awesome comfort foods. The oldest restaurant on River street and locally owned and operated since 1959. The Boars Head turns out some beautiful and delicious dishes, like their Low Country Bouillabaisse. Loaded with tender fish,shrimp, and Sapelo Island littleneck clams then simmered in a tomato, saffron broth. Absolutely amazing! I'm kinda of a soup lover and tried many different kinds but their Blackeyed Pea & Ham with loaded veggies, then simmered in a chicken & ham broth was out of this world. A flavor explosion! Their entire staff from kitchen, to servers to host is what I like to call a machine in motion. They have to be to handle the many patrons that fill the place. And watching them, they seem to do it effortlessly. A very enjoyable and delicious experience from beginning to end. A must stop if you're in Savannah on River Street. read more

Nice upscale bar dining with excellent seafood options and specials. Our waiter was very nice and friendly. Very nice wine selection too. My only complaint is that I couldn't substitute another vegetable for the collard greens read more

I went in to sit at bar. I was the only one at bar. Asked for a Guinness. Bartender (she) filled 3rd of glass and tap went dry. She got another barrel, and started filling same glass w old barrel bear. Scooping out foam. Then she'd go and work around bar. Came back and scooped out foam, filled my glass a bit, and then walk away to dry some glasses. So she apparently was going to give me a 3rd filled glass w old beer and fill rest of glass w new beer, while scooping out foam. She didn't know how to pour a Guinness from tap. No I'm sorry, no greeting. I looked over at hostess and a server and they just smiled and shrugged their shoulders. All this took approx 10-15 mins. So, I smiled, said thank you and walked out. No need to argue. read more

Our party of eight was seated right away, but that was the only positive. From the start, the service was a disaster. The waiter had poor communication, was slow to bring drinks, and even slower with appetizers. We ordered three she-crab soups and three fried green tomatoes only two of each ever made it to the table. When we asked, we were told there was only one chef in the kitchen. Meanwhile, after more than an hour of waiting, tables around us (who arrived well after we did) were served their meals including dishes we had ordered. No acknowledgement, no apology, just a tacky attitude. Our waiter eventually ignored us completely and walked upstairs. We finally walked out. The hostess blamed the waiter, management never came to our table even though we asked to speak to someone. Absolutely unacceptable. Poor, poor service. Save yourself the frustration and stay far away from this place. read more

We ordered two grilled chicken clubs and they were delicious. Some of the best chicken we've had in a while the chef is great.

This was our first Restaurant on our vacation to Savannah, and we were not fans. The atmosphere was not pleasing to the eye. The grits were not fresh the texture more like dried oatmeal. I was disappointed. Or server was sweet. However I would not recommend. read more

Was not impressed with the food. It did not taste good. No flavor, and made me sick / upset stomach. You get the picture. I ordered the Stuffed Shrimp and Crab. The crab tasted bad, almost like it was not fresh. Our waiter was not great. I would not go back again. Seems like they are banking on their historic location for future bus. Quality of my dinner was bad. read more

We ate here last night. An evening to remember! The very best meal in Savannah. Crystal, our waitress, was lovely and helpful with our questions re the menu items. Lamb (two double bone), filet (cooked exactly as ordered) and best crab cake ever r! Dessert was their Jack Daniels Chocolate Pecan pie. EVERYTHING was absolutely fabulous! Reasonable pricing, too!! Only one problem: I know that whenever I order grits again it will NEVER be as creamy nor delicious as the grits I ate here. Seriously. read more

This place was recommended by a coworker of my husbands and I'm so glad we made it here! This place looks touristy especially being on the river walk but looks are deceiving. Had the she crab soup (first time having this) and the shrimp and grits. Holy smokes both were out of this world delicious. Staff were attentive and friendly. Would totally go back. Don't miss out on this gem!! read more

Boars Head Grill - Two pieces of bread, mashed sweet potatoes and two pieces of asparagus... WTH - Seafood Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

It's a very nice place. It has the look and feel of an old English tavern with lots of reference nautical travel of the 19th century. If traveling Savannah it's a good place to stop. I though the She Crab soup was a definite standout. It was rich, creamy and a very good deal for the money. The food was good and the ambiance great but overall a little pricey. However, if you a visiting the city it's probably a must at least for lunch because it captures the feel of a waterfront eatery from a few centuries ago. read more

Etouffee shrimp was incredible! Fried shrimp plump and tasty. Stumbled on this place just wondering one night told an hour wait, table in 20! Busy place with great choices and specials. Well stocked bar, yet small seating area. This is definitely a historic building with stone and brick exposed interior. Can't get more authentic. Great service from a fully exposed kitchen adds to the atmosphere. Don't miss this one! read more

What a great location and very cool ambiance at this restaurant! We came with our friends who are local and love this place! We ordered burgers and they were absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly! The service was great and fast! The view of the river was so cool and we saw a huge container ship go by! Truly a great place for a quick meal! read more

This place was on my list of restaurants to try so I was glad we were able to snag some seats at the bar on NYE. Hubs was starving and I was not so I figured I would sip on some drinks. The place was packed but there were 3 seats open at the bar luckily. We were greeted not too long after we sat and offered menus. We were then offered to place our drink order soon after. Hubs tried a local beer and I went for the blood orange margarita. It was really busy so I was waiting for my drink longer than hubs. It was a really good drink though. Hubs wanted some chicken salad fish but they only had a limited menu because it was NYE so he went with the chicken piccata. I chose the wedge salad. I missed out on taking pictures because we were distracted in conversation lol. My wedge salad came out a lot quicker than hubs' food but I'm a very slow eater so it worked out. My wedge was massive but I think there should have been more tomatoes and bacon. I requested extra dressing when I ordered and I'm glad I did because the lettuce was extra watery. Hubs enjoyed his chicken piccata and I thought it was really good as well. We spoke about desserts and hubs wanted the bread pudding, while I wanted to try the trifle. We went with the bartender's suggestion of the bread pudding. It's was sooooo good! Another couple seated close to us were intrigued and ordered it after us. I think it would be even better with some ice cream. The bartender offered us drinks to go and explained you can walk the streets with open containers. Since we didn't know what we were doing after, we ordered drinks to go. We were also given commemorative 2023 champagne glasses, so nice! We will definitely be back to try the regular menu. The ambiance was very cozy. It had an old feel, as well as a local's regular place to dine and drink. The flooring, construction, furniture, and over structure was old and that made it more cozy and likable. It was very busy and traffic was constant while we were there. It is intimate and did not appear too many tables are available. Makes sense because I did try to make a reservation ahead of time and there were no tables available. read more

this place did not have to be as good as it was. On the river, needing a break from walking, needing somewhere indoors with water. The food was surprisingly fresh and good. Nothing over-fried and several salad options. The daily special (steak wrap) hit it out of the park. I asked what was on the oysters and was given an ingredient list. When they came out, they had hot sauce on them which was not listed. Momma doesn't do vinegar, and they were so nice about brining a new dish. The manager even came over to apologize. Not necessary at all but appreciated. Good job. read more

I wish I could give a "0". I made a reservation for my son's college graduation dinner months in advance. I repeatedly confirmed the reservation on my own and when prompted by the restaurant. Now, 90 minutes before our time, I get a call saying they overbooked and could not get in any time tonight. They offered no comp or gift card . They just said we are screwed, FOR MY SON'S GRADUATION DINNER! Every decent place in town is long since booked because this is graduation weekend. Total POS attitude. What is this place, an f*ing airline?! Will make sure to tell everyone I know who has kids at SCAD never to go here. With this airline attitude, this place needs to be shut down. Do not patronize this place. It is the only way such an arrogant business will learn that honoring its commitment to customers matters. read more
