Great Irish bar atmosphere! The bartender makes excellent Old Fashioneds! The food looked really good (the people around us said their meals were excellent). We will be back for dinner. read more

Love it! The split pea and ham soup is kinda like minestrone with all the veggies. I like it. The BBQ shrimp is very tasty. Somehow they make the bacon a little crispy. The fried shrimp has a really nice breading. The baked potato is exactly like............. a baked potato. Get extra butter and sour cream. The chocolate bread pudding is delicious. It's more like the center of molten lava cake than traditional bread pudding. I'll get two next time. lol. read more

We have had 3 great meals at Boars Head. First in 2012. Then on 24 May when we had Shrimp and Grits and the Bouillabaisse which were both fantastic! We and the shrimp and grits at the Pirates House and liked the Boars Head much better. We went back to the Boars Head in 25 May. This time we both had nice Ribeyes. Yummy. Both times this year we had dessert. The bread pudding is fantastic! We had the flourless chocolate cake that was very tasty. Have a look at their menu and if you see so thing you like. Give them a try! read more

First of all, it is my first time in this place. And I like it a lot. The waiter was very kind and attentive to us. Regarding the food, it arrived on time and hot. My shrimp were delicious and the portion size was very good. The soup was on another level, it was something out of this world in how tasty it was. My husband also liked his food. The price of the dishes are a bit expensive, but it is worth it, because the portion is acceptable, in addition to being all delicious. read more

This IS the spot to go on River Street. We were in town for vacation and stopped in for dinner at Boars Head. We had a reservation and seated immediately. Our server was amazing! I wish I remember her name, she was the nicest and most helpful I've had in a long time. Such a warm presence. My partner and I ordered the stuffed shrimp, Low Country Bouillabaisse, and a cup of of the crab bisque. Everything was delicious but you HAVE to get the low country bouillabaisse. It's an explosion of flavor and one of the best things I ate in Savannah. The service is great. The food and drinks are worth every penny. Make a stop at boars head, you won't regret it! read more

2nd time in Savannah, 2nd time here at Boars Head. Outstanding food & service, again! I thanked the owner for such a wonderful first time dining experience, that I brought entire family with me this time. Tonight I had the salmon in peach BBQ sauce, with grilled asparagus and cheddar grits. M mouth is watering just thinking about it! The GRITS are UNBELIEVABLY delicious! So light and fluffy, and flavorful. I've had grits before and never liked them. Their cheddar grits are heaven on your plate. Everyone in my family tasted and wanted more. Rest of my family had filet mignon which was also outstanding! Just know before you go..this place is riverfront but not outdoor dining. Trust me the food is so good you won't care! Sometimes it's so buggy on the River, it ruins outdoor dining. Please please try this place for lunch, dinner or drinks. It's awesome!!! Gonna be frequenting Savannah now, so I will be coming here every time! read more

Wonderful food!, service was perfect and loved the brick walls inside. The chicken salad on greens was tasty and the serving size was more than plenty. read more

Hear me out before you scoff at my 5 star review of a Tavern. Give me a minute to tell the story like it should be told. So, my son and I were headed out of East Bay Inn down to River Street to scope out a place for dinner. Within just a few steps from crossing the street to hit the steps down to River Street, a torrential down pour befalls upon us. Lightning hits and the sky turns dark instantly. We run down the steps, down the hill, to the first awning we see. BEHOLD, A TAVERN! Yes, one of those many establishments that line River Street. As the rain continues to fall down, I realize our dinner options have dwindled to this one door in front of us. Truth be told, I didn't want to eat here. Bar food wasn't on my mind. We walk in, and it's got that Tavern vibe (semi dark, faintly dank) and are escorted in a room that has a view to the open kitchen. Tables are lined with glowing candles, and the crafted brick walls are holding up nicely painted pictures. The scene out of the arched, brick framed windows is one of beauty. Actually, this place is starting to seem like a nice option. Our server's name is Kevin (too perfect), and he takes great care of us. We start off with the fried green tomatoes, which comes with 4 slices on a bed of greens, covered with their own house-made balsamic reduction and goat cheese. My son actually ate two and liked them! I loved the combo of balsamic and goat cheese. Highly recommend! They also serve you fresh made bread with creamy butter. That was just delicious and a perfect combo of soft and crunchy. For my meal, I ordered their chicken salad. I thought it was a sandwich at first so I was disappointed when I found out it wasn't BUT it seems that all the disappointments for this evening turned into a great surprise. It was, hands down, one of the best salads I've had. No joke. That chicken was soooooo good. The way it was breaded and the seasoning to it. It had a slight edge of spicy to it. It MADE the salad. That blackened chicken combined with the fried onion rings, honey mustard and greens ... damn near perfection. My son had the Boars Head Burger and said it was the best burger he's had (ok, so he's 13 and just started eating adult burgers, cut him some slack). I don't eat red meat anymore so couldn't really back him up. I will say that the A1 sauce that comes with it on the side was really good. Not sure what type of A1 but I would've believed it was house made too. Look, check this place out and get the Savannah Chicken Salad. It's just scary good. So glad this was a happy accident! read more

Cool spot right on the river in the heart of all the action. Busy place so we had to wait a bit for a table. Went with the shrimp and grits and they were spot on. Great service. Solid place for dinner - cool vibe. read more

Pretty good restaurant. The Bloody Mary drink was the best part of the night! Our waitress was very nice and asked if we needed anything multiple times. I don't really have anything negative to say. I thought my dinner was a tad overpriced for what I got but other than that it was good. read more

Please don't go to this place. Every food was bad, super salty and the waitress didn't even acknowledge the problem. With the two people of over $100 for simply two entrees, the place doesn't live up to its reputation. I wish I could give it a zero star. read more

We had a friends birthday party here. As someone who has walked up and down River Street countless times, I have never taken much notice of this restaurant as it doesn't seem very popular and it is kind of located on the side of the building rather than at the front facing the river. After eating here, I don't particularly feel like it is worth taking notice of and I am pretty disappointed in it, in terms of downtown Savannah fare. I ordered the she crab soup, pork chops, and a side of French Fries. Starting with the soup, they charge 8$ for a cup of hint of crab. There are no notable pieces of crab in this soup. I personally felt like there was too much char on parts of the pork chop, which I had to eat around. Other parts of the pork turned out pretty good, so it may just have been a consistency issue. The waiter originally mistook my extra order of French fries as fried rice. Anyway, he brought out a rice pilaf that he let me keep when he realized the miscommunication. The gesture was nice but the rice kind of tasted like soap so I didn't even eat it. However, I did get a fresh order of fries so that was an upside. read more

Selected this restaurant from a list for restaurant week and we are pleased we did. The food was absolutely perfect. The server mentioned the chef was from New Orleans which inspired the special menu for Restaurant Week, well all of the items need to be permanently added to the menu. The Corn and Crab bisque reminded of another restaurant Copelands in Jacksonville and I was thrilled to know someone here makes it. Sausageband Alligator Cheesesteak may make you pause but the gator was cooked perfectly and the flavors blended together perfectly. Some restaurants play it safe but I'm glad the chef put his own homegrown flavors into the menu, definitely made it stand out. For my main entree u selected the Braised Lamb Shank, which was covered in a tomato sauce gravy that paired well with the creamy grits. And our server "Brittany " was great as well. The special Cranberry Mule was made perfectly as well. read more

Service was good but the food was so-so. Had the crab cake sandwich and it seemed like it was made far in advance

Great little stop near the river in Savannah. Ambiance and service was spot on. The burger was a 4-star burger: good size, variety of toppings, fresh bun. Steak sauce was a great add. It could have been seasoned a little more. Black eyed pea soup was delicious. Creme brûlée was solid and pecan pie was a hit. read more

Surprisingly delicious food for a place that appears to be a simple pub. Would recommend the shrimp and grits, the salmon entree, and the bread pudding. Just be careful on the steps outside! read more

We're happy we chose to make a dinner reservation at Boar's Head for the first night of our first-ever weekend in Savannah. Service was competent and professional, and the pork special quickly elevated itself to the tastiest meal of our southern trip (to that point). Sides were excellent too, as were the cocktails. Nice view from the windows of the pedestrian and boat traffic along the river as well. read more

Tourist trap. Small portions. The shrimp and grits has a ton of great flavor just a small portion for $25. It's not worth it because of the portion. Service was great. Very clean nice setting. Pricey for what they give you. You can tell they survive on drinks not the food. Crab cake tastes like it came out of a can. If you just have to have crab cakes get the starter version. It's the same portion as the entree. The entree just has a bun and fries for a few dollars more. Shrimp cocktail is $10 for 5 farm raised shrimp. Not worth it. read more

Had a REALLY great meal here when recently touring the city on the way to Florida. The shrimp and grits were excellent! Creamy grits topped with perfectly cooked shrimp in a sauce that was a medley of flavors. The grilled chicken salad with Gorgonzola, fresh spinach, pecans and a nice light dressing was spectacular. The burgers pleased the teenagers at the table and caught my eye as well. Service was top notch. Highly recommend. read more

The absolute BEST dinner during a weeks stay in savannah . Great decor in redone warehouse. Started with a bottle of Sauvignon blanc, followed by a bowl of blue crab soup. Tasted great. Shared a swordfish special that came with homemade mashed potatoes and shrimp and grits. Everything tasted perfect. Grits and potatoes probably the best I ever had. Brian, the waiter was superb. Would highly recommend this place ! read more

Neither of us was disappointed and we highly recommend when staying in Savannah . read more

After so many great meals over a 5 day visit, Boar's Head Grill broke the streak with a big disappointment. On a positive note, the she crab soup was awesome, better than all the others I've tried. Deep rich flavor with that hint of sherry you want. All down hill from there. Caesar salad was like lettuce with mayonnaise, no flavor. Barely ate much of it. The BBQ shrimp app was good but 4 smallish shrimp was placed on top of a Cole slaw that was much too heavy on the mustard for my taste. Neither of us could eat it. I had the crab stuffed shrimp over angel hair pasta. They must have forgot to put some sort of sauce over the pasta because it literally had no flavor. There was a puddle of water under it in the plate from not being drained all the way. I had to add a lot of bread butter and salt and pepper just to give it some seasoning. The 4 medium shrimp were ok but the crab stuffing was undercooked. My wife had the salmon and although the flavor was great, it was mostly raw and cold except for the outside edges and had to be sent back. Wasn't in the mood for sushi. It wasn't busy at all when we arrived and the kitchen was not slammed so not sure why the problems. Don't eat much of that. Service was great and atmosphere was a typical pub setting. Nothing special. Plenty of other places to go read more

This place is a local gem with FRESH seafood! Yes fresh seafood with no farm raised aftertaste! The service was attentive and very knowledgeable about the menu! It's a small menu however it does have something for everyone! The ambiance of the place is very southern and cute it's also very quite! There is one chef that makes all the meals so you can thank him for the peace because everyone is too busy eating then talk! I am very happy we found this place would recommend visiting if in town. read more

Our party of 3 walked in for a late lunch (around 3pm) after several hours tooling around Savannah. The outside seating is extremely limited (seriously, like two tables for two) but we were immediately seated at a table next to bright window inside a normally fairly dark setting. Frankly, even in early April the air conditioning was a welcome reprieve from the humidity, which is admittedly low this time of year. The location right on the river is great and we enjoyed watching the giant cargo ships go by. Most importantly, the food was terrific and our server was very attentive and knowledgeable. We all ordered from their sandwiches menu - a burger, the blackened fish, and a crab cake sandwich. Both the crab and fish sandwiches were served with a (chipotle?) tartar sauce, which had great flavor. The crab cake was the smaller of the three dishes and could have had more texture if it had a few more crab chunks (vs being all shredded crab), but the flavor was nice. The blackened tilapia was done very well and was served with the reddest tomato I've seen this early in the season. It was yummy! And the burger was truly a crowd pleaser. The patty went well beyond the limits of a large Kaiser bun and was cooked to perfection. It was thick and juicy with perfectly melted cheddar cheese and bacon on top. The burger is also served with a house made steak sauce, which our server said had "a bit of a peach flavor." We found it to be somewhat sweet + tangy, along the lines of a honey mustard, and we happily sopped up the remaining sauce with our fries. It was all good! My only suggestion (beyond larger crab chunks in the crab cake sandwich) was for the pasta salad, which was a little dry and bland. We were told it had artichokes and that would have added a lot of flavor; if it did, the artichokes were so small that I missed them entirely. To top off our meal, we split a key lime pie, which was super delicious! B O T T O M L I N E: Go! Great spot with good food and wonderful service! read more

Dear Boar's Head ..thank you for consistently bringing us here for years. Me and my husband discovered this place a few years back and come here specifically just for the filet and the ribeye. The flavors are robust and the char of the steak makes it sooo good. And we've been to an abundance of steak houses. Not sure if it's the must in the dark room or the fact that you sitting in a building so full of history. Prices here are fairly average. The shrimp cocktail was $9 for 5 rather small 41/50 shrimp. And $12 for oyster Rockefeller with small oysters. Our server was great exhausted from a ling st. Patrick's Day! Overall she was attentive to our table and took well care of us. Drinks here are pretty good. Located across the street from the river and walking distance from the busiest bars and other restaurants. We always come here to eat when we are in Savannah. read more
