Had a lovely dinner with my dog on the back porch. Driftaway is very pet friendly they provided a dog bed, water bowl and even ask if my boy could have a slice of bacon. The staff is friendly, the outdoor seating area was cute with adorable planters everywhere. The food was tasty. The only downside for me was the chairs are a wee bit small, the arms are welded to the front of the chair. If you have good size hips the outdoor chairs are not your friend. ‍ Not a big deal for me but if you're not dining with a pet and you're larger you may want indoor seating. read more

Ever since we came to Savannah, the DRIFTAWAY has been our go to whether just ourselves or like last weekend with 8 of us -- adult married child, loads of grandchildren, on the porch (nine the kids@ They want to chase the house cat in the porch bushes. If you like tuna as sashimi, you have to order thee "Tuna Tartare" - an huge offering good for 2 or 3 at the table. Fish & Chips - excellent flounder mpt overly cooked, not oily read more

The service is always great and the food is delicious. Some menu favorites are the jerk salmon spring salad (the house vinegarette is divine), calamari, French dip, firecracker shrimp, and tuna tartare. For brunch, the chicken and biscuit is to die for. Pet friendly with great outdoor seating. read more

Good attentive service, every dish was piping hot and fresh no heat lamp leftovers here, they were on top of service throughout.

Food was delicious, and the atmosphere was fantastic! We enjoyed seeing the wildlife from our booth ! We will definitely be back on a regular basis read more

I finally caught brunch and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Angelina took great care of our party of 10! I ordered the Southern Fried Chicken Biscuit w/ Home-fries! My home-fries were burnt but I informed Angelina and she put in a order for more! As you can see the second order was great! The biscuit was soft, warm and flakey! The chicken was lightly breaded, fried, seasoned well and the gravy added more flavor! The Home-fries were crispy and flavorful! Everyone enjoyed their meals with no complaints. I recommend the Firecracker Shrimp Tacos, Crab Cakes, Calamari , Catch of the Day Sandwich and the Salmon BLT. Go visit Driftaway Cafe! read more

Popped in after a visit to Wormsloe. We were seated right away - the ambiance was amazing - fresh plants everywhere and outside there were turtles and live things running around. Our server was very nice. We had the crab dip which was a little spicy and amazing. The grouper tacos and grouper spring salad were perfectly cooked and just the right amount of food. Would love to come back - lots of other things we could try !! read more

After a long travel day in early April, we were starving and craving some fresh, Georgia seafood. We luckily found Driftaway Cafe on the outskirts of Savannah which has a beach-town restaurant vibe with a lovely outdoor patio we sat at to soak up the nice weather during lunch. Lexi was a wonderful server, offering good advice on the menu and ensuring we were taken care of with water refills and beverages. She also gave some great recommendations around Savannah for us to check out after our meal. The portions were great and quite filling while everything was fresh. I can't rave enough about the Tuna Tartare, Firecracker Shrimp, and Crab stew. We loved every second as the flavors popped and took our taste buds for a ride. It's not an easy feat, but the shrimp was some of the best we've ever had! Don't hesitate to visit Driftaway while in the Savannah area! read more

This was by far the best food in the Savannah GA area that we have experienced. The service was friendly, quick and not overbearing. Every item we ordered was the best we have had anywhere to include the shrimp and grits, hot crab dip and the fish and chips. Better than what I have had in London UK actually. Great local spot with a nice atmosphere and just a down home feeling. Perfect ambiance for families or a quiet night as a couple out without the kids. Definately returning soon. read more

Great diner near Wormsloe park and served diner style food with a side of warm and Southern charm service! Place was lively and a converted house with lopsided porch which gave its own charm to the place. Solid flavor but that shrimp on the brunch shrimp & grits was so flavorful and fresh and was my favorite! Will get it again if ever luck or circumstance brings us back to this area. read more

Came here for the first time and didn't disappoint. It was quiet and well lit on the inside. Service was okay, waiter was efficient and quick but didn't check in on us very often. The group I ate with got a variety of food and most of it was 4 or 5 stars! The salmon was ordered without the blueberry & phenomenal. The tuna was really good but the potatoes in the middle were cold (because of the fish) but would've been better if they were plated differently and warm. The salmon BLT wasn't a favorite.. Fish and chip, shrimp and grits -- a must :) read more

This place is a gem and we're lucky to have it in tiny Sandfly, just outside Savannah. The locals are loyal to Driftaway for a reason: consistently fabulous food, great service, reasonable prices. Had lunch there today, my husband said the firecracker quesadilla was the best quesadilla he's ever had. High praise. We love sitting at the bar, always friendly & attentive service. It's a must try restaurant. read more

This place is such a gem, especially for those that love a good lunch. Everything I have ordered I have liked but the tacos and specifically firecracker shrimp tacos are a must. The shrimp is perfectly breaded and cooked and the black bean and corn salsa adds a refreshing touch. The delicious firecracker sauce though... I could drink it! The inviting atmosphere and A1 service make each visit enjoyable. Ample parking and friendly kitties outside, benefiting from leftover fresh tuna, add the cherry on top to this delightful spot. read more

I'm going to start off with the only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because the asparagus I ordered was a little overcooked and my husbands potato salad was dry and lacked seasoning. The waitress we had was top tier, she was fabulous, the atmosphere was amazing. Overall I did enjoy the food. I ordered the blueberry salmon and it was excellent! The crab dip for the appetizer is a must try as well! read more

Great neighborhood restaurant with good food and great service. I make it there every week.

We are new to the Savannah area and graved from seafood we looked on yelp and found this wonderful gem! We had the fish sandwich catch of the day was grouper and we had it blackened with a spice sauce. The sandwich was so delicious the fish tasted so fresh and perfectly seasoned. The service was amazing our servicer Sydney was absolutely wonderful. Great personality and simply a dear. At the end of our meal as we were leaving we found ourselves having the most pleasant conversation with other members of the staff. We had such an amazing time and most definitely will be back. The ambiance and service was just so wonderful we really had a great time. Thank you so much for a lovely experience!! read more

Good food, good service, decent atmosphere. The food was priced decently, on average. There is a bar here as well as you walk in the door. There was a good selection of food. I opted for the fish tacos (~$15). Catch of the day was grouper. We were in at lunchtime and they were still serving breakfast. Wife got some sort of French toast with a rum batter (~13). It was delicious. Son got a sausage biscuit with taters for just $8. Daughter had a chicken biscuit with gravy for ~$13. We all enjoyed our food and would visit again if we were in the area. read more

This is a cute local spot. The murals on the walls are beautifully done. Waitress was prompt and nice, food has a great value for the price paid as well. Fried green tomatoes get a 4/5-they weren't greasy and had a sprinkle of feta cheese. Tuna tataki was a very generous portion of tuna that was perfectly cooked, thick slices. However the menu said the tuna was sesame crusted and it came out with a jerk seasoning instead. If it had come out as the menu described this would be 4.5/5 but the jerk seasoning overpowered the tuna and so it gets 2.5/5. Oyster sandwich was well done. Oysters were fried perfectly and weren't greasy to the touch. LTO and thick Texas toast were nice accompaniments. Sandwich gets 4/5. I got a side salad instead of fries and they brought a giant side salad instead of putting some greens on the plate. Mixed greens were a bit tired and some were on the verge of death but the shaved Parmesan cheese on the salad was a welcome surprise. Salad is about 2.5-3/5. I would not object to eating here again, but I wouldn't choose it either if I was given the option to go anywhere I wanted to. It does have a large local crowd that have been going for years so they clearly are doing something right! read more

Roomy place, bustling with patrons. They do have decent parking (+ after being downtown) Seated in the back with large windows facing a creek. Pleasant view. Food was good, server was good. For what it is, it was great- It's more of a roadside shack than fancy restaurant, but that doesn't mean anything other than don't expect some swanky place. No need to dress up! :) I was happy to have found this place and avoid my hangry!! read more

We had a great meal and great service. Would recommend stopping by if in the area. Fish tacos were great as was the burger.

To enter the restaurant you have to be able to navigate the steep ramp. Being physically challenged, this is not an easy task. I have not been there since I started using a walker as it is not safe for me. The waitstaff and food in the past were great, but, it has been several years since I have eaten there. read more

I stopped in with my wife for some lunch, based on the positive reviews. As the name implies, the ambiance was nautical themed and casual. The menu was basic American seafood and burger options with their house sauces to make them interesting. My wife and I both opted for the Firecracker shrimp tacos with their firecracker sauce. It was delicious! Also loved the potato salad and cole slaw! Highly recommend. They also had some nice local craft brews on tap. I love that! The service was fantastic. Our waitress, Ainsley, was very friendly, helpful and fast. All of the staff we encountered was equally friendly. Overall, a really comfortable local cafe that I would definitely make a regular spot if I lived in the area. Worth a visit. read more

Amazing lunch! Can't wait to go back. Tuna tacos were so delicious!! They also knew what was gluten free.

Cute local hangout serving up seafood , steak and much more . I really enjoyed the laidback vibe here . On this visit we only ordered two appetizers but they were fresh and delicious. Do yourself a favor and order the Firecracker Shrimp. The shrimp are flash fried and include sliced green onions, diced red pepper and tossed in Firecracker Sauce on a bed of iceburg lettuce. It is the perfect amount of spice and the shrimp are fresh and delicious. If you are worried about the level of heat you can opt to have the sauce on the side (we did). The tuna nibbles app is light and tasty and the wasabi drizzle is the perfect compliment. Looking forward to dining here again and exploring the menu more! read more

Our local friends brought us to this place since we said we needed some good seafood one more time before heading back north. It wasn't too busy on a Wednesday night and we were able to get a table easily. Our friendly waitress was very helpful. I started with a delicious rumrunner drink that was not lacking in booze. At $9 it was a good deal given that most bars these days are charging at least $12 for a drink like this. My wife and I got the fish sandwich with the fish of the day. We learned that the fish of the day is apparently always grouper. It was a big piece for fish and grilled nicely with just the right amount of seasoning. Our one friend got the blueberry salmon and he raved about it. I guess it was not the first time he has ordered this dish. We did try a slice of key lime pie for dessert and it was the best we had over the five plus weeks of sampling pie while we were in Florida and Georgia. Do give it a try! Prices were decent for what we got. I would eat here again when we are in town. read more
