    Sandwich
    Olesya P.

    Came here for brunch on Sunday morning. We didn't have a reservation and a line was pretty long. We waited for over 20 minutes to be seated. It gets super busy. The ambience is pretty traditional diner, I would recommend seating outside if weather allows, it's much more pleasant than seating outside. Service was friendly and attentive and very quick. They have a large selection of dishes. I had crab cake Benedict. Which was pretty good. We also had some decaf drip coffee. Our toddler got some pancakes that were really good. Overall place was very good, very traditional and I think many tourists go there.

    Very popular breakfast spot! They are known for pancakes! Menu has the usual breakfast foods. Only pork meats. No turkey bacon or chicken sausage. They only seat complete parties. They have 20ish tables. Breakfast potatoes were crispy and very good. Interesting here in the South they called out the dishes and hand it to you.

    A perfect blend of locals and tourists in an absolutely beautiful neighborhood. Service was friendly, lots of choices on the menu and your meal will arrive fast and hot. Lots of references to that movie based on that great book, definitely worth the visit.

    Looking for a true southern breakfast like grandmas kitchen? Here is your place ! Good service , cozy ambiance and incredible belly filling food. Every time I'm in Savannah , it's must I start my day at Clary's. The portion sizes are hearty and the fresh brewed coffee soothes my soul. Pancakes are the size of the plates and Omelettes are made for football players lol! Come hungry and wear stretchy pants !!

    I really enjoyed Clary's cafe, it's crazy i lived here for years and never heard of it until my friend made the recommendation . i enjoyed everything about it, i would say it is a hidden gem but it was very busy that morning. we had a slight wait but nothing a walk to the park and back couldn't fix, it has a great location. The food was great, 10/10. i loveddddd the pancake the most omg. The ambiance inside is cozy like a place you grew up in. the staff was so kind to everyone coming in and out , some of the waiters were even singing as they went back and forth. i thoroughly enjoyed and cant wait to go back.

    Arrived at 10:30am on a Monday - place was pretty full up. We waited about 10 minutes for a table. We were not in a hurry so no big deal. The breakfast menu has a good amount of options. Corned beef hash, biscuits and gravy, and multiple omelettes looked good. I eschewed all of those and went for a breakfast sammy with sausage. Came with grits (perhaps an acquired taste but I love them). The sammy was on toast with two sausage patties. Quite filing. All around good taste. Service was good, ambiance was old school diner like. N*joy!

    Solid place, with solid to good pricing. Pro waitstaff and cooks hustle and get things done and done _right_. Not frou-frou, but the kind of comfortable place where you know you'd better get there before the rush because otherwise you're going to have to wait. Food was cooked to order and was plenty tasty, and felt like a value for the quality and locatiion. We only visited once because there are so many great places in Savannah, but my wife and I are both already looking forward to a visit or visits on the return trip we're planning.

    The best corned beef hash, and I'm a connoisseur major diner vibes and something about it didn't feel totally clean but how good the food was I will be back

    If you've seen the movie, Midnight In The Garden of Good and Evil, or read the book, you know this place. I've done both, so stopping here for breakfast was a must. This cafe didn't disappoint, it's a Savannah classic! There was a line outside, but it went quick. Going inside, you feel like you stepped back in time. From the old Coke machine to the old fashioned counter, the ambiance here is awesome. That was all before we even got the food. The food was really good too! I had an omelette with grits and a biscuit. The grits were the best I've ever had. If you haven't read the book, go read it. If you're in Savannah, stop here!

    Great food and service. Will go again. No wait either. And affordable. We sat outside and the view was beautiful

    Over easy eggs, bacon, plain grits and two very large pancakes. 2nd dish is a Greek omelette with spinach, feta, peppers and tomatoes.

    From the moment you walk into this locals favorite breakfast place you feel the warmth of a southern welcome. Service is charming and attentive with not being too much. The breakfast are your basic reliable comfort fare, with the exception of pancakes so tasty and bigger than your head! So yummy. The restaurant itself is basic but not crowded or too noisy, especially midweek. We enjoyed it!

    Clary's is definitely on old hidden gem and staple in Savannah. It's been years since I have visited and recently when I was craving homemade corned beef, to Clary's I went! Surprisingly, there was NO wait; so I was able to get a table right away. The place still looks exactly the same and the food still tastes the same. I had the corned beef plate with egg whites and cheese grits. Everything was really good. I did get a cheese danish to go, which was ok; it kind of lacked flavor for me. Overall a great experience, besides the lack of flavor with the danish and I definitely noticed the increase in prices. The customer service was top tier from the hostess to our waitress and every staff member that approached!

    We chose Clary's because of our Old Town trolley tour and the fun story of it being part of a movie. We expected to have a wait time, but were seated quickly on a Monday morning, and breakfast was on our table in minutes. I ordered the veggie omelet, which was loaded with fresh vegetables. Because I am gluten free and passed on the bread, our server offered me a fruit bowl instead. My husband ordered the crab cakes Benedict with cheesy grits and said it was delicious as well. We left very satisfied after enjoyina filling meal with friendly greetings and service.

The online menu photos looked incredible (though I still side-eye those famous PB&J wings--maybe next time!). We chose the Treylor Park Double Wide Diner for breakfast and were thrilled we did. Pro tip: Head there early on a Sunday morning! Alcohol can't be served until after 11 a.m., so the place is surprisingly quiet and easy to get into--no crowds or long waits. We were seated right away, and our server was incredibly friendly and attentive from start to finish. My husband went for The Chupacabra--a massive chimichanga-style breakfast burrito stuffed with eggs, sausage, onions, cheddar cheese, fresh pico de gallo, Sriracha, and chipotle crème fraîche, served with cheesy grits on the side. I ordered the Brunch Nachos, which sounded fun as an "appetizer"... big mistake (or the best kind of mistake!). It was a towering plate of waffle fries loaded with cheddar cheese, bacon, sausage gravy, fried chicken, and topped with sunny-side-up eggs. Both portions were enormous and absolutely delicious--we had to pace ourselves to make a dent in them! Everything tasted fantastic, with bold flavors and that perfect Southern comfort twist Treylor Park is known for. We're already planning to stop by again whenever we're near one of their locations--highly recommend for a fun, hearty breakfast!

So we got there for 6:30, and knew we had to leave by 8:20, as we had a ghost tour shortly thereafter and we told our waiter as such. Unfortunately, despite not ordering an appetizer and going straight to mains, we didn't get our dinner until 7:55pm. The reason it happened was the waiter accidentally ordered us the seafood special, not the steak special. They were apologetic about it, but still, a dinner we were looking forward to turned to a rushed scarfing down of food. Would have been nice if they comped one of the dinners, or offered a free round of drinks for the inconvenience. As for the meal itself - the shrimp dinner was meh - only came with 6 shrimp for $32 (pirates house shrimp dinner tasted better and came with over a dozen large shrimp). The ribeye was perfectly cooked, but needed more seasoning. My guess is because they rushed it, they may have forgotten the salt. The steak sauce (tamarind forward a1) wasn't my cup of tea. On the positives - both of the sides were amazing - highly recommend they put those on the main menu. All in all - there's too many good restaurants in Savannah, I doubt I'll be coming back. Given the ambiance, maybe good idea to come for a drink and dessert? (Although the wine pour was a little weak too).

I really liked how they offered smaller portions for a lot of their items, especially since we had a huge lunch. Everyone's food came out but mine.

Yes, that was probably ribeye (it was tender and delicious) and while it was technically queso, Cheez whiz would have been a more apt description. That's ok, because it was good. Overall, a wonderful experience. I really liked how the waiter took accountability and fixed it. Very much appreciated. I would 100% return.
