If you're in Savannah looking for breakfast or lunch, Clary's is a must-visit. Just a few blocks up from Taylor Square, it's in a convenient, neighborhood location. We stopped for breakfast twice during a visit to the city, and both times sat at the outside tables. Very comfortable, with not much traffic on Abercorn Street, so it wasn't at all noisy or exhaust-fumed. I had probably the best egg white Greek Omelette ever - perfect amount of feta. On another visit, I tried the oatmeal, and that too with the finely chopped pecans, etc., was perfect (the brown sugar, on the side, thankfully). Deputy Yelper loved The Georgian on a biscuit, and on our repeat visit got a customized shrimp salad on a biscuit. Do order the grits - not usually our favorite, these were excellent (even without cheese). Waitstaff on both visits was very attentive, keeping that coffee mug re-filled. Yes, Clary's is referenced more than once in "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil," as the site were Berendt breakfasts and observes some of the Savannah eccentrics he writes about. read more

Great service! We came later in the afternoon and had lunch. We think breakfast would have been a better choice. However, the Rueben was solid, fish sandwich hot and fresh! The shrimp salad was plentiful. Thanks for our first eating experience in Savannah!! read more

My sister and her husband had been here and she wanted to go back. We sat at the counter which was nice and roomy and we got to watch the staff work hard to get food and drinks to everyone waiting. The food is good, nothing fancy which is great. The sweet tea was so refreshing. I would recommend trying if you are in town. read more

A classic for good reason! This was our second visit and we were so delighted with both experiences. Service was friendly and quick. And their breakfast absolutely lives up to the hype. I got the Oglethorpe Breakfast- filling and full of flavor. My husband loved his Eggs Benedict. Can't wait to return on our next visit. read more

It was highly recommended by our Savannah Hop On/Hop Off tour guide. My boyfriend and I popped in for breakfast and were seated right away. Looks like there were plenty of locals dining there as well. I'm glad I decided to give this place a try because it was heavenly. Photos do not do it any justice. It was perfectly seasoned and very filling. Service was friendly, attentive, and quick. Highly recommend. read more

LOVE a traditional diner (rare these days), and was happy to find one near our Airbnb in Savannah. We had breakfast at a bustling Clary's Cafe three days in a row. Even though the menu offered many choices, I always ordered some form of eggs benedict with home fries. Consistently delicious, every time. I especially loved the potatoes, which seemed to be coated to make them extra crispy. Their coffee was hot and on the strong side, my personal favorite combo. Brisk, efficient service from staff who knew what they were doing. Thank you for starting our days off right, Clary's! read more

Fast, efficient and great food! It's everything you could want from a local breakfast place! The service is also exceptional. I was able to make my own omelet but the star of the show was the potatoes. If you're looking for a cheap, local breakfast place, this is it! read more

This place is so cute!! Everyone who works here is so friendly, great service, and great atmosphere. Rich in history, and flavor! Had the country fried steak from the brunch menu, and the fried chicken sandwich, everything was soooo fresh and delicious. Seriously so good! read more

Here's the thing. You go in and we sat on the kitchen side. I thought, why did we pick this place? I love to pick places that have a cool style and ambiance. This was chaotic, loud, a little dumpy (sorry). BUT, the staff was nice and the food came out in like 6 minutes flat! And it all was delicious! I'm not normally a breakfast potato fan, but their cubed potatoes tasted like French fries and I loved them. I read reviews that the sausage gravy and biscuits were good. My husband was going to get that, but they were out. He opted for an omelet. I got the Olgethorpe with a substitution of the stuffed strawberry and cream cheese French toast instead of pancakes (Because I couldn't decide and everything sounded good.) They are only open til 2 and when they start closing up, they're ready for you to be gone so they can go home. Take away: what it lacks in ambiance, it makes up for in speed and good food. read more

Ambience was local neighborhood. Service was great. Great home made food. Loved the cinnamon rolls.

Corned beef breakfast was yucky. Tasted rancid. Grits were pretty tasty though. Maybe I just ordered wrong read more

OMG, I was at the bike shop up the dropping off a bike for repair and asked were I could go while they looked at the bike for breakfast. Clary's was the first thing he said, the next was to ere will be a line. It was around 1030 so we drove there and yes there was a line at the door!! We found a parking spot around the corner and weekend you don't have to feed the meters, I was getting ready to pay and a local told me it was free on weekends. We walked back to Clary's and looked inside it was packed and lots of people were waiting. They have a few tables outside or you can it inside at a table or at the counter, we waited for the host to put our name on the list when he came we asked if we could sit at the counter he said sure it first come for the counter. Wife has tea and I has coffee, I saw eggs Benedict on the menu and knew what I was getting and the wife was having the biscuits and gravy. Our food came out and everything looked excellent I did ask for more hollandaise sauce because there wasn't enough for me, we started eating and both meals we tasting great. When I went to pay I saw that they charge extra for more sauce really if they'd put enough to cover the whole egg and muffin it be great you wouldn't need extra. This was one of the top 5 best eggs Benedict I've eaten, the hollandaise was excellent just the rite amount of lemon flavor and butter. Now the biscuits and gravy this is probably the best I've ever eaten well at least the gravy! It's very creamy and rich tasting I didn't really eat any biscuit but that gravy mmm. Can't sit to return to eat here again. We didn't have to wait, make sure you look for a seat at the counter. read more

Love Clary's! We get there every time we come to town. The staff is so friendly and the service is quick. You can expect a wait in the morning but people are moving in and out quickly. Their pancakes are delicious - slightly sweet and have a taste of buttermilk to them. The crab cake Benedict is good too - the egg yolks are a little hit or miss and sometimes a bit overdone but they are still good. We tried the oatmeal this time and it was awesome - packed full of granola, pecans and dried fruit - served with a side of brown sugar and milk! It's definitely got charm - been around for a long time - you've got the counter and seating outside as well as a beautiful stained glass replica of the Bird Girl. Looking forward to our next meal there ! read more

Visit this historic place on your trip. The food was delicious! Typical cafe-type foods. Always enjoy being able to pick breakfast all day. I was really hoping for a super friendly server to match the energy. A little disappointed there. The atmosphere was a nice diner-type style..we enjoyed the wall art. First time I got charged a sharing fee. My wife and I had been sharing a plate at a lot of places. They charged us for the extra plate, even with two kids who ordered regular meals. My son got the crab cakes eggs benedict. They were delicious. The eggs on top were nicely cooked. Daughter's chicken club (fried chicken, bacon, and cheese) sandwich was huge. I ordered the Oglethorpe... eggs, meat, grits, and pancakes. I did have to pay extra to get smoked sausage. I guess it was an upgrade. We'd visit this place again. read more

Wow...glad we discovered Clary's. Just spend the Memorial Day weekend in Savannah and had breakfast at Clary's all three days. Everything was home cooked and amazing. So good in fact that my wife had the Greek omelette all 3 trips, calling it the best she's ever had. I went for biscuits and gravy on day 1, pecan pancakes on day 2 and french toast on day 3....all were outstanding. Don't be worried if there is a line to be seated, it's well worth the wait. Also, if you get the opportunity, sit at the bar. It was a lot of fun interacting with the staff behind the counter. Lots of great hospitality. read more

This was a top rated breakfast place. We decided to stop by on a Saturday morning, they were packed. We waited about 20 mins to be seated but weren't too impressed with the food. The Philly cheesesteak was dry and the waffles were dry and hard to swallow. We were disappointed because we had high hopes. Great customer service tho. read more

Was taken here by friends to experience some southern style diner food and was not disappointed! Cheap, delicious food alongside along side a quaint indoor space made for an unforgettable experience. Was also seriously impressed with the speedy and friendly service. read more

A great historical place to eat. The wait was not too bad at all, the food and coffee were tasty and the atmosphere... busy! It's a small place and the restrooms were fine, truly, it's just the layout of the building that makes them a bit awkward to navigate. But, it is an early 1900s building so I can work with that. Definitely recommended and we'd be back. read more

Staff were friendly. Food was ok. Not expensive. An old diner atmosphere. Was expecting a little more from the neighborhood we were in.

We had breakfast here while visiting Savannah and it was so good we came back another morning! We had the stuffed French toast both times with a side of bacon and grits and my husband had a side of sausage and grits. It was all so good! The most perfect bacon and don't get me started on the delicious grits!!! The coffee was even better than most Places!!! The staff were beyond friendly and so attentive! Highly recommend and will be back when I return to Savannah! read more

WONDERFUL. Quick service. Rose our waiter was great!!! Sandwiches and "scoop plates" of ckn salad, shrimp salad and tuna salad. LARGE slices of tomatoes and cucumbers with the scoop plate. Real southern tea...excellent. A delicious place for lunch. read more

Corner diner with lovely comfort food. I had a corned beef sandwich that was almost too large to bite. The waffle fries were crisp and hot.

Local joint. Nothing to get excited about, but breakfast spots are hard to find. We had the gyro (skip it), chicken club (it was ok), and an egg breakfast (best option). read more

Visiting Savannah for a couple days and wanting Diner type food. On a friends recommendation went to Clary's Diner. Parking lot is small so good luck securing a spot otherwise street parking is the other option and it's pay parking in areas around the restaurant. Driving by there were lots of people outside waiting. After putting our name down on the list was advised under 20 minutes and under which went pretty fast. Inside is definitely a lot bigger then it appears. Ordered Old Fashion French Toast with no powdered sugar and The Georgian (breakfast sandwich). Nothing spectacular but sufficient for breakfast. As always extra star for Coke products. Service was fast even with a lot of people. read more

I had the chicken fried steak, grits, scrambled eggs and biscuits. It was all delicious. My waitress was excellent and friendly. I decided to take extra biscuits home to my family. Also, the host was very friendly and fast to greet me. Will definitely come back. read more

Clary's is a peasant yet busy local breakfast spot in Downtown Savannah. The interior is a bit dated but the food was mostly good and inexpensive for what you get. Even on a Thursday morning this place is packed and we waited about 20 minutes for a table. My friend ordered the steak and eggs while I ordered the crab cake Benedict. Steak and Eggs: pretty good, the meat was tender and everything worked well for it. Crab Cake Benedict: I like the crab party and hash brown potatoes, both were nice and crunchy. Overall a decent spot to get breakfast. The only problem is the wait which imo for the food I personally think it's not worth it if you're waiting too long for it. This place is popular and crowded but and it's a good choice if your wait is short. read more
