    Fig, feta omelette with grits
    Rachel H.

    Our group really liked this place for a late brunch on Sunday! The service was great and they had some amazing specials. This unassuming restaurant was a quite pleasant brunch experience all around. In our group we had the feta-fig omelette, a salad, a fried chicken dish, along with coffees and sweet tea for just over $80 minus til for 4 adults. All was tasty and came to us fast.

    Parfait, cheesy grits, and biscuits & gravy. Good southern breakfast!

    Excellent breakfast! First time we tried grits we actually liked. They had great flavor and texture. Loved the parfait...fresh, balanced ingredients of fruit, granola and yogurt perfectly. We ate outside and it was lovely.

    Very nice breakfast spot. The location is easily accessible and the decor is friendly but not overly fancy. The food is plentiful in proportion sizes and the options available make it very hard to choose just one thing. Our server Leah, was attentive and ensured we were taken care of. I would ask for her if you're here because she was that nice to us. If you're looking for a nice breakfast/lunch location in the Savannah area this is an easy choice

    Great breakfast. Kind server. No wait.Casual setting. Music was too loud. One of the few places we could find that had pancakes. Would go back.

    Poblano Benedict with a side of grits.

    Found a nice breakfast spot near our hotel. Tried the poblano Benedict (eggs Benedict, but topped with their poblano soup) with a side of grits. The food was great :) Service was nice and friendly.

    I found this restaurant on Yelp, and it was a short walk from my hotel. We dined here twice while in Savannah. The first day that we tried it, it was kind of slow. We were seated immediately, and had the pleasure of having Ian as our server ( I hope I spelled his name correctly). The service was timely, food was fresh and tasty and priced appropriately. My girls raved about the food. I was impressed that they served Turkey Bacon. This is huge for me because some establishments don't. I am allergic to pork, and I don't eat chicken, so it's nice to enjoy comfort food when I can. The food and service were so good, that we came back on our last day with my spouse. Saturday was a bit lively. Completely different than Thursday. Again, we were seated almost immediately. This time we had Kylie as our server. ( Again, I hope that I am spelling her name correctly). She was a ROCKSTAR. Very kind, upbeat, joyful and attentive. She did a great job with checking in on my family and me. Again, the food was a hit. Super delicious! The ambiance was very artistic, but it felt very homey. I was very impressed to see how busy they were, and they still provided excellent service and food. Please dine and enjoy.

    Great experience. The poblano Benedict and biscuits and gravy were very good. Ashley was a great waitress and offered up great suggestions. The buttermilk pancake is with the calories! Nice clean atmosphere.

    The Just Bubba - highly recommended!

    My husband and I enjoyed breakfast at J Christopher's one morning while visiting Savannah. We'd eaten at the one in Smyrna, GA when we lived there, and had forgotten how much we enjoyed their eclectic menu! I had The Traditional with scrambled eggs with cheddar, bacon, grits, and an English muffin. The eggs were perfectly cheesy and yummy. The grits were the stoneground type, and perfectly seasoned. My husband had the Just Bubba, with scrambled eggs with cheddar, sausage gravy, roasted potatoes, and a biscuit. He especially loved the slightly crispy biscuit with the gravy! We'd definitely return.

    Our table ordered the regular French toast, fruit plate, shrimp and grits as well as the banana pecan French toast. Everything thing was delicious! The banana pecan French toast is banana nut bread French toast topped with bananas, pecans and whipped cream. So yummy! The shrimp and grits are different but definitely a must have!!! The shrimp and sausage are cooked perfectly and the gravy has just enough and not too much spice! Our server Lisa was friendly and recommended menu items for us as well. The art is so cute!

    We came with our dog and are happy that we chose this place because it's so dog friendly! They seated us outside and just about every table had a dog at it. They also have a couple dog friendly menu items you can order for your pup. As a self-proclaimed cinnamon roll connoisseur, I wanted to try theirs, and I'd give it a 6/10. Good but nothing to write home about. The eggs Benny was decent. Service was great.

    Crab cake Benedict- good but not amazing
    Kate F.

    I was recommended this place by a local and I noticed a lot of people of people at the bar seemed to come there weekly. It's basically a diner. I just thought the food was okay but nothing amazing. Maybe I just ordered the wrong thing though

    Dog bowl with potato, bacon, egg, sausage

    What a great experience and service at this restaurant. We sat outside with our pet, the waitress was very attentive, personal and nice. Breakfast options were great and there is even an option for dogs. We enjoy our food, the are and sighting was beautiful. We would come back to this restaurant.

    Arizona skillet and the fig omelette with cheesy grits
    Maddie T.

    Omg SO GOOD!!! Best little breakfast diner in Savannah. Has really cool art everywhere inside and plenty of tables and booths. Couldn't decide what to get from all the amazing options, but we got the Arizona Skillet which was amazing-- along with the fig omelette which was one of their specials. So delicious! Will be back for sure to try more things.

The brunch menu is fairly…read moreextensive, so we had some difficulty choosing what to order....but definitely come hungry because the portions are large and the food is pretty rich. To share amongst the table, we ordered the cinnamon toast banane and crispy gouda grit croquettes. Thumbs up on both, particularly the croquettes which were the right balance of gooey and structured enough to eat with the delicious sauce on the side. The cinnamon toast banane was not so much toast as cinnamon rolls with bananas foster; the cinnamon rolls were really tasty and the bananas foster was good, though the bourbon flavor was strong. For my entree, I ordered one of the lighter vegetarian dishes - the mushroom tartine with tomato soup. I think it is one of the lighter dishes - certainly lighter than what my dining companions ordered - but it was still quite rich with a fair amount of gouda fondue in the tomato bisque soup. The mushroom tartine/sandwich was really flavorful with the pesto, cheese and tons of mushrooms. The restaurant is quite large with an upstairs seating area.

I got their chicken sandwich, while the rest of my family got the Dubai chocolate French toast, Bubble and squeak. My grilled chicken sandwich had a vast majority of flavors varying in the sandwich. The chicken was my only set back, it came off as under seasoned and bland, while the white bread and cheese melted together with the fresh lettuce. I also got their iced matcha latte with lavender syrup, which I was heavily surprised from how flavorful and sugary it was, I highly recommend this drink to any matcha lovers out there. The Dubai chocolate French toast was beautifully put together and delicious, shared across my family. From what I heard the bubble and squeak was amazing and was not too heavy or dull in flavor and is a great vegetarian option. Overall, the atmosphere inside was very light and put together, the creme walls contrasted perfectly with the historic stone walls.

When we walked in we quickly noticed we were going to be taken very well care of. We each started with a glass of wine and ordered the steak w Chinese broccoli and potatoes (it had a fancier name but I forgot to save it). Let me just say.... amazing dinner! Best dinner we ate the whole time we were in Savannah! Everything was cooked to perfection and seasoned perfectly and deliciously! We normally don't get dessert but was amazed with dinner so decided to take a gamble with the desert. I ordered the coconut sorbet and fruit compote and it was delicious as well! Truly a fine dining experience with a homey feel. There is an option to sit cook side with a view of the kitchen which we want to try next time we visit!

It…read morewas difficult to pick a restaurant to have dinner at, because there's so many great choices in Savannah, but seeing that the minds behind Common Thread were recently semifinalists for Best Chef SE through the James Beard Awards, it ended up being my choice. I'm absolutely glad I picked it. Walking in, we were greeted with smiles. The house/restaurant was stunning. It was quirky but still had its charm. We were escorted to our table, which was an odd little table halfway up the stairs, away from everyone. We were told that table was meant of anniversaries/intimate events. It felt awkward at first but it ended up being fun people watching and listening in to conversations as people walked by. Colton was our server. He was great. Extremely knowledgeable. He walked us through the menu, offered great suggestions on food and wine, did a proper wine service, and even properly pronounced the region in which the wine was from. Colton definitely made us feel special and gave us an incredible experience. I'll definitely give it to Common Thread. The knowledge in which every staff member presented was incredible. As every person dropped off an item at the table, they accurately described the dish in detail before they walked away. I've been in the restaurant industry for almost 20 years; serving, bartending, and managing numerous different types of restaurants, from casual to fine dining. I've opened up a few restaurants and have been a trainer as well. Common Thread is operating at a high level in terms of the staff's ability. The food: incredible. We started with one of each oyster, and it was insane how much flavor was packed in them. Our first course was also accompanied with the hand roll and the apple beet salad. The hand roll was fantastic. The beet salad felt like it needed some sort of acid/citrus with it, but still had great flavor. Course two was the mushroom cannelloni and the orecchiette. Both were phenomenal. My wife was obsessed with the cannelloni, the butternut squash puree was a perfect accompaniment. The pesto/parmesan foam on the orecchiette was an excellent touch. Course three we went against Colton's suggestion for the pork chop (almost got both, we were stuffed), and got the Ribeye. Great char, cooked perfectly. The peppercorn jus was an excellent topper for it. For dessert, we opted for the sticky toffee pudding. Although it wasn't sticky, the ginger pairing with it was an excellent touch. This is one of the best experiences we've ever had at a restaurant. This will be a staple for us whenever we're back in Savannah and will definitely be asking for Colton again. He is the kind of server I'd like to have at my restaurant. Props to Common Thread, props to Colton.

The space itself adds a lot to the experience: a thoughtfully repurposed former Greyhound bus station that feels stylish and warm without trying too hard.

Looking around at the tables around us nothing really caught our eye after reading the menu, we didn't want to leave since we were able to get reservations so we got some starters and shareables. There was a couple next to us who was having the same dilemma after over hearing their conversation. The kale salad was okay but a little bitter for my liking and the potato soup had a thick layer of oil on the top which looked intentional but wasn't our cup of tea. The cornbread and mashed potatoes were good but nothing crazy in our opinion to write home about. Service was okay on our end, once our waiter realized we weren't getting any main entrees it felt like he ghosted us with no water until our food came out and then never came back to check in on us until he brought the check. We are going to try to come again next time we are in town in hopes we have a better experience and different menu!

We were sat in what I believe used to be a front parlour, by a window over looking the street. We had a dual service with one person being the "main" server, his name was Michael. He was in charge of giving us the spiel and answering our questions. A woman (I forget her name, sorry! But she was lovely) was in charge of running the food and clearing the plates. It was a very well run machine. The menu is pre set, but there were choices on some of the courses, like course where an option was a soft shelled crab - I definitely wanted to take advantage of that! We started off with Biscuits with butter and homemade orange marmalade, these were delightful, so fluffy and soft, and the marmalade was sweet, not bitter like it sometimes can be. The Amuse bouche was a trio of tiny items: a pimento cheese tart, a mussel with chipotle sauce and panko, and a square of salmon with mild wasabi and ginger. The salmon was definitely my favorite. The fifth course had a special as I noted before, so I opted to go for that, it was a soft shell crab with garlic, herbs and a vidalia onion slaw. Topped with peanuts and a white wine sauce. I think my favorite course of them all was the scallops with the carrots and the whipped ricotta - so simple but so delicious! Phenomenal special occasion place or just to cross off your bucket list. If I am in Savannah again (and the likelihood is high, its such an amazing city), I will be back.
