    billy goat omelette
    Lora J.

    The only reason I wouldn't recommend the place is because the waitresses were standing around, and nobody seem to see that I was sitting there to be served, well finally a waitress came to take my drink order, but another lady (turns out to be my server) brought my drinks to me. We ordered the Alamo omelette and the Billygoat omelette and the lemon pancakes and shrimp and grits. First the shrimp and grits with terrible grits where very running and you had to fish around to find the shrimps not the size shrimp that you expect in a shrimp and grits dish as you can see from the picture very runny and lacks flavor that Billygoat was mushroom is not enough mushrooms in the omelette very small again the grits on the side it was runny and most places when you ordered toasted give you two slices of toast, not one and last, but not least. Once I got back to my car realizes charge me a a supplemental fee. l call back to find out that it's because I use my credit card but there's nothing in the restaurant that states that there will be a fee to use your card that should've been known upfront but overall I wouldn't go because the food just didn't hit the spot for me. The food was pricey, but the portions didn't match the price and the quality of the food was lacking. Try it at your own risk. Did you decor was questionable not sure what the theme was but overall the paintings on the wall like it was someone's personal attempt at our but overall that was good.

    Food was delicious, but somewhat pricey for a small amount of food. Service was great. Our food came out quickly. The restaurant was big, open and clean.

    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.

    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!
    Andi M.

    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!

    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

    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.

    An Absolute Must-Visit in Savannah!…read more Our group of food-loving travelers had one of the best dining experiences we've had in a long time at Common Thread. From the moment we sat down until the last bite, every course exceeded our expectations. We started with the oysters, which were incredibly fresh and perfectly prepared. The shaved beef was an absolute standout--one of those dishes you can't stop talking about long after the meal. The yellowfin tuna was pristine, buttery, and beautifully balanced. The salads were anything but ordinary. Both the watermelon salad and the tomato salad were bursting with fresh, vibrant flavors that showcased just how incredible simple ingredients can be when they're done right. For the entrées, the gnocchi was delicious, but the real stars were the New York strip and the roasted potatoes. The steak was cooked perfectly, and those potatoes may have been the best we've ever had. The red snapper was light, flaky, and had just the right amount of spice to elevate every bite. Richard's Chicken was unbelievably tender, juicy, and literally melted in your mouth. What truly elevated the evening was our server, Lindsey. She was warm, knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely made us feel like welcomed guests. She even took the time to recommend local attractions and things to do around Savannah, making our entire trip better. If Yelp allowed it, she'd get 10 out of 5 stars. Exceptional food, outstanding service, and an unforgettable experience. Common Thread has earned a place among the very best restaurants we've ever visited. We can't wait to come back the next time we're in Savannah.

    First, the house is charming and the staff were all really great and attentive. They also have a…read morelift for folks who have trouble with steps or are in a wheelchair. So, that felt terrific, given their attention to making the space handicap accessible. I would only return for that specific reason - not for the food. We were there for a birthday, so we got the tasting menu and was told that it was served family style. We were 3 people, but for each course they brought out 2 plates of food (except for a single plate for the salad course). So, it felt weird sharing the dishes, like you didn't just get half and then to take 1/3 of 2 plates is also peculiar. Why not serve each course genuinely family style on a larger dish? For example, I usually tried 1/2 of each plate, but then there were some leftovers. And, one of the courses (the salad) came only on one tiny plate, and there was only one piece of the peach. So, there was no way to split that at all. They also brought us all new empty dishes and silverware after every course. It would have been easier to just give us each our own portion on our own plates. I kept thinking about all the dishes that they would need to wash, and it felt so wasteful. In fact, we had to ask for serving spoons, as they didn't offer that with the family style either. And honestly, the best course was the fried potatoes. They also brought us each one tiny tator tot with fancy sauce which was good. But, so tiny that it wasn't enough. The worst course was the tri tip meat. It had been cooked very rare which I like. But, it was so chewy that I found myself having to chew and chew and ... well, I couldn't eat. None of us liked that course, and it felt like a shame to leave it behind. I researched tri tip, and it seems that it needs to be cut in a certain way. The dessert was also really good. But overall, I was disappointed. Some places feel too fancy, and they forget that people are there to actually eat something rather than be confused by trying to guess what they are eating. For example, the delicious tator tot had a smoked oyster mayo sauce. But, the quantity of the sauce was so sparse, I didn't notice the oyster flavor at all. I suppose that my review may be heavy handed. I do appreciate that they provide farm to table, but they didn't take the time to profile that either.

The greeting from our arrival to seating was prompt and very courteous. We got suggestions from the wait staff and started our experience. They have an extensive cocktail and wine list. We started with a drink called Southern Hospitality and their branded Old Fashioned. Both drinks were exceptional. We accompanied that with Grilled Octopus, which was sensational. Very hard not to make it chewy. Great char and sauce that accompanied it. For entrees, we did the Perloo, an amazing interpretation, and a swordfish. Both dishes were immaculately prepared and perfectly sized. We chose a bottle of Loss and Lehn, something we had never tried before but recommended based on what we had ordered. It matched perfectly with both dishes. We also choose items from the pick 3 menu to accompany our entrees. We finished with the best bread Pudding we have ever had nd french press coffee. The price was very reasonable considering the quality and the service, and should not be missed next time you are in Savanah.

It came with a pickle juice shooter that at first sounded a little weird, but was actually tasty. We started with fried green tomatoes. They were definitely different than any I had ever had. First it was tempura. YAY! Most are cornmeal and the texture is weird. These were so good. It came with a pimento cheese topper. It was my first time having pimento cheese and I loved it! I had the grilled apple pie chicken sandwich. I was a little worried it would be super sweet but it was not. It was perfectly balanced. My husband had the Treylor Park Pot Pie.

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.
