Walked in the building is bigger than it looks outside. Lots of seating. The waitress was friendly enough to. She took our order He ordered the fried chicken sandwich with fries and a side of fried tail on white shrimp. I ordered the combo 3 with grilled tail on white shrimp, fried catfish and deviled crab with coleslaw and French fries. We got our food and checked it out. Looked good and fresh. His chicken sandwich you could tell was a fresh chicken breast not too thick or breading and decent seasoning. The fries are thicker crinkle cut and were good. My plate came and the shrimp were definitely seasoned I'm pretty sure blackened but that was great I love that flavor. I was disappointed thinking I was just gonna get boring grilled shrimp. My car fish was flaky and delicious. The Cole slaw was ok tasted homemade. The star for me on my plate was the deviled crab. I thought the crab taste was delicious and it actually tasted homemade and I hope it was! If I was passing by again and craving seafood I would make a purposeful trip to stop! They have that wonderful nugget ice, another reason to stop lol read more

If you know anything about Savannah GA you know about this restaurant. This restaurant has been around since the 1960's just a little back story. I was born and raised in Savannah GA and I always visited the Skidaway location. I've always got seafood from the restaurant. Like 2 or 3 years ago I was back in town with family after a funeral dining in and I realized the expansive menu because a lot of times prior I used to pull up get my food and go. This location has a lot of business because of the location and the site says award winning. I got a 3 plate with fish, shrimp and oysters and Mac and cheese and a baked potato with butter and sour cream. Service and food is good and delicious. I visited with my sister Medinah on 10/17/2025.Pull up and support. read more

Called in a order and ask for French fries to ve extra crispy and when we got home the are not even done half raw .

So I was trying to find a spot to grab lunch with my parent before I got on my flight. Decided on this spot because it has Salmon for my dad and it was close to the airport. We got in and the place felt a little dated. We were quickly seated and got some waters(no alcohol served). We ordered and the food eventually came out. My ribs were okay, but nothing mind blowing and a baked potato is a baked potato. My stepmom had the fish sandwich and was a bit dumbfounded that it had bacon on it even though bacon wasn't listed as an item on the menu. My dad had the Salmon and baked potato which came with greens and once again there was bacon and again not listed on the menu. Since he doesn't eat meat, it was a bit worry some for him as there might be meat cooked into the dishes. We quickly ate and moved on and I can say this might be a one and done. read more

Very mediocre seafood. No raw bar. Everything is either fried, grilled or blackened. I would consider it a low end seafood resturant. There is also no alcohol served. Service was good and my waiter kept my soda full. The ambiance is more like a diner. read more

I've been to Carey Hilliard's several times and every time I have the best experience here. This is one of my favorite Savannah restaurants, they have reasonable prices in everything. My favorite is their fried chicken which takes about thirty five minutes to prepare after ordering it. With those type of preparations you know it's gonna be delicious. The fried chicken is so crunchy and flavorful, they get it right every time. I had Mac and cheese which was good as well. I also like the green beans My favorite is the cheddar bake which is the baked potato topped with cheese, cheese and more cheese. I also enjoy the ribs which is on the appetizer menu. STEW was an amazing server all the other servers in the past were great as well. Whenever I'm in the area this is where I'll be. read more

Everything was fantastic! We used to have a Karie Hilliard's in Charleston, South Carolina and I'm so sad that they aren't there any longer! This was my husband's first time trying them and he agrees, they should come back to Charleston! Someone wanted a dinner someone wanted at lunch someone had breakfast and we were all able to get exactly what we wanted! Everything was cooked perfectly. Even though it was extremely busy with a line out the door, our waitress did a fantastic job keeping up with us. It's like you were eating in a family members kitchen and dining room. Very friendly place very delicious food and wish we could've saved room for some Dessert!!! read more

Just pulled into the Savannah GA location and crab stew was ordered ceasarsalad and a regular side salad.a kids cheese burger meal,catfish and shrimp, flounder and catfish and chicken strips All with assortment of sides such as Mac and cheese, fries,coleslaw green beans The crab stew just ok had alot of crab yet lacked flavor and substance in the base. Chicken stripe were exceptional and the fried catfish was delicious. Overall this was pleasant stop before resting but the star of the night was our server Madison who truly the epitome of superb customer service our beverages never went dry our food came out quickly and she check on the entire family with a pleasant smile!! Madison Super server. And the music in the background brought back memories of the 1980 and beyond good times read more

Food and service were nothing to write home about. Prices were pretty good and serving size was good. Brunswick stew was mushy but had a really good taste. The food was tasty enough for the price. I wouldn't go out of my way to visit them though so it's good that they are conveniently located right off I-95. So if you're on a budget, this would be a good place to stop. Otherwise i think you could find other places to try. read more

Carey Hilliard's used to have locations in Charleston, SC. I grew up going to the restaurant from the time I was a child before they closed their Charleston locations about 20 years ago. The food is so good (especially their onion rings, fried chicken, chicken tenders and club sandwiches) that my husband and I make a few trips over into GA each year just to dine at one of the many CH locations around Savannah. People who are panning their food are perhaps ordering the wrong things. I admit I've never been a big fan of their seafood nor BBQ, but as I said, there are plenty of other menu items that keep us going back, even if it means we now drive at least an hour and half one-way to do so. Furthermore, I've never been into a CH location that wasn't clean and where I wasn't treated properly by the staff. read more

This was my first time here. The reddish was amazing but it took extremely long to come out. I waited about 30 mins while the rest of my party received their food. I understand that the kitchen happened to be short staffed on this day. The manager rectified the situation. I will give it another try if I'm ever in Pooler again read more

Tried this place for the first time while in town. I really enjoy seafood. Ordered the three item plate. Blackened shrimps, crab cake and fried catfish, coleslaw and beans. Everything on my plate was absolutely delicious. My hubby enjoyed his meal as well. Only thing we did not was the ice tea. Not sure what was going on but someone certainly dumped an extra bag of sugar in there. Other than that we had a wonderful dinner. Service was great also. read more

After driving nine hours, we appeared for a late lunch at 3 PM yesterday. The weight staff was beyond belief. They accommodated us in every way possible and the servings were so great. We took half home each and had them the following day. The food, especially the very large salmon salad as well as my 1/2 pound of pork. We're more than satisfying and delicious. The prices were also most reasonable. Couldn't ask for a better experience. read more

The food was not the best. The fries were close to raw, but as I looked around I felt like that's the way they cook them because other's looked exactly the same. The manger offered to replace the fries, I chose onion rings. The onion rings were delicious. Dine in just after 12 noon on a Monday. We were seated fairly quickly. However, service was slow, but was our waitress Kyah was very polite and friendly. The dinning area and bathroom was clean. I may consider giving this place another try. read more

the seafood was very over cooked like it was sitting under a heat lamp not fresh cooked at all fish also had very strong taste like it was old. we waited close to an hour for food that appeared to be precooked and left over from the lunch rush. read more

One of the best places for the hush puppies in Savannah. Not too crispy, not too oily, just right. Service could use some improvement pertaining to speed of delivery but I also was hungry. Overall the experience was passing. Nice music playing. read more

Service was great - food not - so many other places should have trusted my gut. Atmosphere is cool thought it would be a good local spot - wrong. I ordered the fried fish with French fries and hush puppies- hush puppies weren't cooked all the way and the fish was just not what I like. read more

Food is mediocre. Server was friendly but slow. Restaurant reminded me of an old school Bigboy.

The chicken was amazing. Had to wait for it to be cooked fresh but received it and all you get for the price well worth it!

They got my family's order wrong 2 TIMES!?!?! the food was fine. and the whole ambiance was not too bad.

Avoid this location. I'm local and was born here. I've been eating CH my whole life. In the last six months this location has had a huge decline in service and food. The last three times we've come our meals were missing items and cold. One night I didn't even get my meal because they forgot to put it in. How? The server used the iPad right in front of us to take our order. We are sitting at a table now as they have messed up our order again and everyone around us is having issues as well. Just don't come here. Choose another location. read more

The food tasted good except the fries were cold. Waited about 5 minutes for waitress to come over. Not really so bad but she took our order and 10 minutes later we still didn't have anything to drink. We asked for it and when she brought it to us she slammed it down so hard the people across the aisle thought she threw it at us! Then she stomped away without a word. Gave us harsh looks the rest of our time there. If you go and Mia is your waitress, you should ask for a different table away from her. We've never been treated so rudely! read more

Got 2 bbq sandwiches and Brunswick stew. It was awful. got to go. Wo have returned but too far. Bbq had alot of fat. Stew was ground up mush. With chunks of potatoes. Will never go back. read more

We had lunch there today! Everything was just perfect. I especially like our waitress today--a super nice lady who was well put together and talked with such a soft, gentle, pleasant Southern accent. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed her service and feel she's exactly the type of servers a classic restaurant needs. I wish I got her name. We sat in the back booth facing the kitchen--we had Coke, BBQ ribs and baked fried wings. Anyway, thank you! P.S. The lady who ran the cashier today is absolutely pleasant too! We didn't see our waitress when we were paying but we wanted a to go coke, and she nicely fulfilled our request. read more

The place kind of reminds me of an off the strip seafood restaurant you find in Vegas. The service was awesome. Staff were attentive and friendly. I liked the hush puppies and grilled shrimp, but the fried food choices left a lot to be desired. I had the founder fillet which wasn't done to golden brown. Also, the fries weren't hot and crispy either. I would definitely go back for the fried pickles, grilled shrimp, and friendly service. read more

Went to Care Hilliard on sideways for supper..I order the shrimp salad. It was awful. It tasted like shrimp past.. could not see any shrimp in it...I've live in Savannah my whole life and never had shrimp salad like that bf..Hopefully they will change it back...Guess the grandchildren are running the restaurant now. Won't be back anytime soon. read more

This review comes with Brittany in mind. Brittany is an outside server at the Pooler restaurant. She gives service with a sm. ​ile which is so important. I ordered three t's and went around the corner and waste them all but one. I came back around. Saw Brittany and she smiled not knowing what I needed but after I told her what happened she smiled again and accommodated me which I really appreciate it. Britney, thank you because there is not many people serve with a smile. We often get what we put out. Thank you Brittany. Be blessed read more
