Just had Bowtie for the first time AND WOW. The brisket and ribs are some of the best I've ever had. I ordered from their food truck, and service was great. 10/10 experience. I've only posted a handful of reviews in my life, but I felt obligated after that trip to meat heaven. read more

Still a 10! I did a To-Go order. I ordered three different meals with similiar side options. Not once did they mess up my order. Y'all know to-go orders can be a hit or a miss. It was perfect! I had no idea they had a bar tucked away in the back where they have very reasonable drink prices and lots of selection. They have roll up doors that opens the patio area which is ideal for those cooler nights to watch a game or play a game because they offer trivia on Thursday nights. Football, bbq, whiskey, beer, or wine is right on time at BowTie. And sure, you can stroll up there in a pair of jeans and a tshirt. The bowtie is optional! I highly recommend BowTie Barbecue. They are local and they are awesome! A piece of Savannah is bowtied in the food. read more

Tender and beautiful smoke one the Edge. Our server, C.C. , she was so fun and knowledgeable!! Definitely great Lunch spot in Savannah! read more

Me and my mother stopped here an hour after they opened and was sat instantly but we wasn't greeted for another 15 mins after that since someone told our server that we left. When we finally were greeted food came pretty quickly but it was lukewarm at best and the meat was so tough. The only thing good on our plates was the Texas toast and the collard greens. This shouldn't have happened because when we arrived there was maybe one person at the bar area and we walked right past where it looked like they were having an employee meeting. We shouldn't have been forgotten and the food shouldn't have been so cold and tough on first opening. read more

Food was excellent. Service was great! This is definitely the spot for a good bbq sandwich especially,Rip's Train Station, the fried jalapeños are a special touch! The breadless fried chicken is crispy and tasty! read more

I have given this place so many chances. I want to like this place because I enjoy the trivia on Thursday night. However, this may be one of the worst restaurants in Savannah. Myself and friends have tried multiple dishes, all being lackluster. To charge the prices they charge, you would expect amazing food. The bbq is not even on par with dickies. Along with that, the service is not great unless you get Lexy. She is great. I wish this place was better, but it is just not good. read more

The chicken "sandwich" for $17 is a small handful of dry, unseasoned white chicken thrown across a plain bun with 3 small pickles. No sauce, no condiments, no nothing. If you want any flavor, you have to add raw sauce to the cooked chicken yourself. "The fries are so salty, I don't need ketchup!" -a child. read more

Brisket so tender it practically wrote me a love letter. And the ribs? Absolute smokey perfection. Whoever is running that smoker deserves a medal. You can smell that beautiful smokey bbq as soon as you arrive. Service was top-tier, friendly, fast and made us feel right at home. Already dreaming about another round (and maybe a nap after). read more

Paige was excellent! Food was great, service was phenomenal. Great experience. The brisket was amazing. Ill be back! read more

About a month ago, I gave BOW TIE only 1 Star as a result of the rude, inexperienced employee "working" that night. However...... I HAVE AN UPDATE: I went back this past Wednesday night only because my friend insisted I go with her to a music event. ..... and let me tell you.....what a huge difference one employee can make on one's experience!! This visit It was pretty busy and Rayanna was my server/bartender. She was the ONLY one waiting on the entire patio of 10-12 tables as well as a full bar! She was the definition of professional, friendly, and efficient!! I travel to Savannah once or twice a month for business and I sure hope to return soon to enjoy good music paired with Rayannas perfect Margaritas and winning service! (FYI: Cici is the person that waited on me my first visit. After to speaking to several people who frequently go to Bow tie, I've learned that she is known to be rather rude and unwelcoming as a regular occurrence. ****Maybe management should have her shadow Rayanna a few days to learn how it's supposed to be done?!? Idk - just a thought! Here is my take away: Avoid Monday and Tuesdays all together. For the best experience, go only on Wednesdays thru Sundays!!?!? Rayanna , Thank you for a great experience. My night was filled with good music, perfectly made cocktails, and phenomenal service!! Jenn read more

My husband and I are from Baxkley, GA. Our server was Jill. She was so kind and nice. I absolutely loved your food! I am a South Georgia person and I know BBQ, and yours was awesome! I am going to book a catering with you all in April! We will be back (to see Jill!! read more

Visiting Savannah for a race. This was where packet pickup was located. I had The Butterfly pork sandwich. The pork was lacking a smoky flavor but the sauce was good. Slaw and house pickles were very good. The service was good but a bit slow considering there were so few customers. We sat out back on the covered patio which was nice. Loved the tall fence around it so you were not looking at the parking lot. Overall a nice lunch. read more

Had a bowl of Brunswick stew 2 nites ago. All the vegetables were crunchy, not cooked. Potatoes, Lima beans, corn and onions. Big disappointment!! Boy have things changed since the days of Jonny Harris. Truly pathetic. But on a positive note, we discovered Wiley's. Would highly recommend. read more

I am adjusting my review from 2 stars to 4. I haven't been able to come back to the area to revisit this restaurant. While I felt at the tome that 2 stars was justified, looking at the recent pictures of their food, it seems like they are getting it right. Also, the fact that the restaurant manager reached and offered to comp a meal to give them another try means a lot to me. Tells me that this business cares about their quality. Even though i never took them up on their offer, it feels like it's the roght thing to do to revise my review. Hope to be back soon read more

We brought family from out of town to BowTie. The food did not disappoint! The brisket was amazing, grilled shrimp, fantastic. Oh, and the brisket nachos were so good! All of their salads are delicious. Lexy was our server and was so attentive, kept our drinks refilled and constantly checked on us. I recommend you ask for Lexy any time you go to BowTie! Always great food and a great experience. read more

This review is based on an experience solely with the food truck. Bowtie BBQ's food truck (BB) was present for a market organized by Anderson Mercantile in Richmond Hill on Mother's Day weekend. I've heard so much about BB so I was excited to check it out! - TLC - It was a one man show and the guy was super courteous and easy going. Since he was alone, it was a bit of a wait as he was taking orders, cashing out customers and preparing the food one by one. He did great! - Noms - A few items on their menu caught my eye. I was happy to see ribs and pooooooutiiiiine! Being Canadian (also) and having grown up in the province of Québec where poutine was created, I am always curious to see how poutine is interpreted in other areas, now that the rest of the world has caught on to this delicious dish! Unfortunately for me, my friend ordered before me and got the last batch of ribs! Noooooooooooooooo....it's ok though. Good thing I love her LOL. I ended up ordering the Smoked Wings and Poutine (without ranch/blue cheese). Wings - FYI, these are whole wings, tips and all! Perfectly smoked and these were good size wings! There were 4-5 in the order so that's about 8-10 if you compare how other places count their wings (drum and flat). Poutine - BB's version of a poutine is fries, BBQ pork, choice of ranch or blue cheese (I opted out of this entirely) and their BBQ drizzle. They've alllllmost got a winner here! How can they leave out the most important part of the poutine which is the cheese?! The major components of a poutine are fries, sauce and cheese (actually cheese curds)! Add the cheese, any cheese and it would be complete! It ain't easy being cheesy, but it's gotta be done! Besides that though, I LOVED the big chunky fries which were fried to order and the BBQ pork was flavorful and plentiful and the BBQ drizzle was great! I took this to go and drove about 15 minutes back home and everything held up well. The parts of the fries not topped with sauce and pork were still pretty crispy , considering it was continuing to steam in the styrofoam to-go box. Overall, a good experience with great service and generous portions, but just cheese please! Stay safe, Friends! read more

Food is really good, beer list is great, whiskey/ bourbon list is amazing. Service has always been good in my 4-5 visits. The rooms are pretty well broken-up to give some nooks for tables, lots of booths for some privacy. read more

Food was bland collard greens beans ribs. Side orders seems microwave. None of the food season right for me. For a big restaurant on a friday it was slow. Just not my style. This is good for others probably. read more

Food was terrible except for the collard greens. No ambience, too smoky smell; not enjoyable at all. Service was good however!

Our experience started off with the host opening the door for us and getting us seated promptly. Our server, Eric, was great! Informative, patient and on top of everything! I would definitely recommend the pimento cheese appetizer, freaking delicious. read more

Pros: the fries are good, the sauce is good, the service is good. Cons: half the plate they sold me was just fat. Feels like a total rip off and very poor business model. It was super expensive, too. read more

Great place to eat! Food was awesom! Our Server Eric was fantastic and the Host had great customer service! Great homey environment.Will definitely be back for sure read more

Tastes just ok... side item portions way too skimpy for what they charge. Rice was crunchy Greens nothing but stems Zucchini unflavored Cornbread... BOMB! It really saved the day! read more

Excellent attentive service, the whole way thru the meal. This is my second time here, and both times things have been great. The burgers were juicy, great quality meat. Clean facility and portions are large. We all had food to take back home. read more

I come here occasionally and it's always a nice time. The BBQ is very nice. They got rid of the Hickory sauce, but they still have their signature original which is good, and their Roasty one that is coffee-infused. That is my favorite! The meat is cooked to perfection! I always get extra to take home! The service is typical and the ambiance is what you would expect. I think the focus is on the food, which A-ok in my book! read more

Very southern aesthetics. You have option for outdoor seating, at the bar or booth inside. Our server came right away and offered us beverages. It was a Thursday evening, not too busy. We ordered pork shoulder with coleslaw, onion rings and habanero bbq sauce and Burger town burger with fries. The BBQ sauce was amazing. Not too spicy. Just enough for the kick. The burger was alright but fries was amazing. Service was quick about 10 min or less. Would visit again! read more

The food was excellent but I almost froze to death. At least I was getting a cold dish like salad.n

Such a great restaurant!!! The atmosphere was so great! You can definitely tell it was designed wry well ! The food was really good too! I ended up have a sour beer which was key lime flavored and it was amazing! My friend and I had fried green tomatoes as an appetizer. For the main course I had the ballroom burger can I just say the fries were the best I have ever had!! Definitely recommend if you like BBQ!! read more

Disgusting and a disgrace! Came in on my lunch break and sat with a coworker we ordered the SAME appetizer, and my co worker ordered a sandwich as well. Less than 10 minutes and the waiter brings out one of the appetizer orders, hands it directly to my coworker. 20 minutes after my coworker has completed his meal, my order comes out along with my co workers sandwich. Terrible customer service and I decided to just leave. The place had less than 6 patrons and wasn't busy at all. I'll never come to this place ever again. If I could have given it zero stars I would have. read more

This place was interesting. A nice mix of ambiance, great service and BBQ. Inside was nice and clean, full of character down to the tin ceiling look. Service is outstanding. Greeted promptly, seated and a super nice gal took my drink and food order. Where did we lose some stars? This was a tough one, as I can understand differentiating yourself from the all the other BBQ places. From what I can tell, the sauces and ketchup are not your standard commercial stuff. The ketchup was tangy and I believe was vinegar/tomato based which was excellent if you venture away from the traditional Heinz. The biggest ding was the sauce. Not sure what the direction was. It wasn't tangy, spicy, sweet or ??? Just very tomato paste tasting. I initially didn't like it from the first bite but decided to keep going, perhaps it will grow on me. By the time I was halfway through my 2nd rib I was dreading licking my fingers of the sauce. In all the years of frequenting Rib and BBQ cook offs, I have never not wanted to lick the sauce off my fingers. Yes, I am an uncultured swine but saves me napkins. Saving grace was the service, who was observant enough to notice that I didn't finish a 3 rib platter. They did bring me some dry ribs to try, which was much better but still lacked depth, flavor and "direction" if ya know what I mean. 5/10 may be back to try the brisket, pulled pork or chicken. Note: not a chef, influencer, critic or any of that other nonsense - just a fat guy that likes BBQ. read more
