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.

Steaks & Eggs, Chocolate Chip Pancakes
Jill B.

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.

The Georgian (a basic breakfast Sammy)
Christopher T.

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!

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

Greek omelet
Tommy P.

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.

Chocolate chip pancakes, French toast, scrambled eggs and sausage

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

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!

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!

Crab Cakes Benedict (a Clary's Original), Breakfast Potatoes
Lonnie J.

It's crazy to admit that I'm a local and have only JUST now tried Clary's. I have been missing out! I ordered the crab cakes benedict. I was beyond impressed with the amount of crab in the crab cakes!!! Crab cakes can be hit or miss because often places will use a lot of binder to use less crab. Not here!! Fine shredded crab mixed with flavorful herbs. And the staff were incredibly kind and happy. It felt like it was old school Savannah when everyone was friendly and talkative. What a breath of fresh air.

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.

Two Eggs , bacon & potatoes

Great breakfast spot in Savannah. Nestled within the historic district. This quaint Cafe has good ambiance, good food and excellent service. The place offers about 7 parking spots within its property & there is plenty of off street parking too. We arrived at about 10 am ( weekday) and they were busy, but we were sat right away. The staff was very nice and polite. We had a pleasant time and filled our belly with great food.

Grits and Scrambled Eggs
James R.

Greeted by the server and seated immediately. Our server was Paula and she was attentive to our breakfast needs. She took our order, checked on us after our food arrived and made sure we were fine with both our food and drinks. The restaurant was somewhat busy when we left the restaurant. Ambiance was cool and seemed like everyone enjoyed their food. I had the Western Omelette with potatoes, bacon and a biscuit while my wife had the grits and scrambled eggs. We went there on the recommendation of a tour guide who said this establishment is known for their cinnamon rolls but Paula told us they didn't have any at the time of our visit. . The food was good and we enjoyed our meal.

I finally took everyone's advice and tried out Leopold's Ice Cream…read moreShop. Thankfully, I was able to visit right as they opened around 11:15AM, so the line was not nearly as long as I have seen it previously. There are many nostalgic ice cream flavors offered here that other shops don't sell, such as the peppermint and tutti fruit flavors. However, we ended up getting the seasonal Girl Scouts thin mint flavor and chocolate flavors, which were both excellent. We opted for 2 scoop waffle cones, but I would say that they are very generous with scoop sizes, so in the future I may stick with 1 scoop. I was also impressed with the variety of treats, ranging from ice cream sandwiches to milkshakes to floats. The only really complaint I have is that the shop is small (which explains the constant line out the door) and there is a room for seating, but there are only about 6-8 tables capable of seating only 2-3 people each. So, I would not recommend visiting if you are in a large group -- you would basically have to take your ice cream to go.

However, there really is not a reason the process could not be made just a little more efficient. While waiting in line it would be helpful to easily see what flavors are available. From the way the coolers are situated you can't. So ultimately it becomes a bottle neck with people trying to decipher the flavors and going through the sampling process. And to pay, you end up summoned into the next room. Also not obvious. Higher efficiency will improve the customer satisfaction and your overall sales!!

The interior was beautiful, and overall felt upscale, while still having that Savannah charm to it. The food itself was absolutely wonderful. We ordered some oysters, and while only having some lemon and dollop of sauce, they were so full of flavor; and this was in the off months of oyster harvests. Very, very happy with the oysters. I also ordered the Husk Burger, interesting pairing I know, but it was juicy and tender, and just a delicious meal. The burgers are actually made in house, as they butcher the cow themselves and grind up and combine the parts to make the burger. I also ordered an old fashioned, and the house version uses grapefruit peels and syrup, and goodness it was one of the best old fashions I have had in Savannah. This was a lovely experience, and I will definitely be returning to try out dinner some night.

If you know, you know. The pastries here are absolutely worth the detour--and honestly, wherever I see a Paris Baguette, I do pull over. That includes locations I've visited in Northern California, North Brunswick, New Jersey, Atlanta, Georgia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and even the one here in Charlotte down in Pineville. It's a bit of a drive for me, but when I'm in that area, I always make a point to stop in and pick up a couple of their delicious croissant-donut pastries and marzipan or almond croissants. That's the beauty of this bakery--it's a chain, yes, but the consistency is what keeps me coming back. I have yet to be disappointed. Of course, I had to stop at this Hilton Head location--and I didn't come empty-handed. Food connects people, and bringing pastries to your host is always a winning move. I picked up three different varieties of their famous croissant-donut style pastries (similar to the well-known cronut): * Chocolate * Tiramisu * Mango And I added two large almond croissants that were beautifully filled, flaky, and indulgent. Everything looked fresh, full, and irresistible. The setup inside is easy and efficient. It's self-serve: you grab a tray, line it with parchment, use the tongs, and select whatever catches your eye--from baguettes to cakes to coffee drinks. Checkout was quick, Apple Pay was accepted, and the whole experience felt smooth and well organized. The space was clean, friendly, and inviting, with plenty of outdoor seating. Bottom line: Whenever you see a Paris Baguette on your radar, pull over. It's dependable, delicious, and perfect for picking up pastries to share--or to treat yourself. For me, it's one of those rare places that delivers the same quality every single time, no matter the city--and that kind of consistency is something I truly appreciate as a traveler and lifelong foodie.
