    After having tried out their Wrightsville Beach location just outside of Wilmington, I knew the Savannah location of Poe's Tavern would be a reliable option for a meal. They take reservations via Resy, which would be recommended during busier tourism periods. It's ideally located just steps from the riverside and JW Marriott hotel. The main dining area is tastefully decorated with all the images and posters related to Edgar Allen Poe, but the bar area sticks out like a sore thumb with practically no decor whatsoever. We started off with the chips and queso dip (3/5). It wasn't overly strong on the cheese flavor, and it didn't have any sort of zest or kick to it, so a bit on the bland side. For meals, we went with the Gold Bug cheeseburger and Amontillado chicken sandwich. Both of these were a solid 4/5, as they were filling and well prepared using high quality ingredients, although the fries (3/5) were merely average, as were the crispy onions that came with the sandwiches. Service (4/5) was friendly and cordial, and our waitress was kind enough to proactively offer us a refill of chips when she saw we were running low on them. Overall, this was a good meal and would recommend Poe's Tavern to others visiting Savannah.

    Outdoor patio with games

    We came to Poe's Tavern hoping to watch the second half of the Husker game. When we walked in, a server saw my husband's Huskers hat and told him which tv had our game on and where to sit for a good view of it. The tavern is inspired by Edgar Alan Poe and the walls are covered in Poe-themed art. We sat at the bar and were greeted promptly by our server. My husband tried the Mountain Jam Southern Lager and I ordered a Poe's Punch. The punch was delicious, fruity without being overly sweet. We weren't hungry enough for a meal so we split an order of chips and queso and a chicken quesadilla. Both were very good. For the dog lovers, this place is pet friendly. It was Wag-o-Ween the day we were there, and the covered patio section where we were sitting had a half dozen customers with dogs in Halloween costumes. As a fun little adventure, Poe's hides mini ravens around the restaurant--if you find one, you get a prize. I found one! We are so glad we tried this place. Highly recommend.

    Service was excellent to go with the fabulous tasting food. I had the sleeper burger and it was cooked to perfection, I had the bacon blue cheese coleslaw as my side. It was a great flavor combination that I wouldn't have thought of. My husband had the brisket burger and potato salad. He loved both! We had the cheese quesadillas and they were delicious. The place is in a great location and the decor is perfect for all the Edgar Allan Poe fans. The noise level was not bad as you could talk to each other without shouting.

    Beef Rue Morge. Onion Straws.

    The onion straws were no better than French fried onion you put on top of a green bean casserole. I paid a $2 up charge for this as a side and I got something cold that taste like it came from a can. The salad was not very good. There was one good item on the menu, the Beef Rue Morgue. Best dish and I would go back for this. Too bad my husband ordered it as I was stuck with blah onion straws and droopy salad.

    Black Bean Burger with Fries and Onion Crisps

    The Black Bean Burger was very delicious and has plenty of vegetarian options! Their burgers are very delicious and worth a try! The Bar and the ambiance is very nice and chill and the service is also pretty good. Would recommend!

    Awesome place for some food! The food is delicious and the staff were great. The venue is very great to hangout with co-workers or friends. Definitely worth the trip to try!

    Blackened salmon & veggie burger

    I got the blackened salmon fish tacos and I was so excited to eat them. They looked good but tasted slightly old and dull. Had to drown it out with cholula hot sauce. The atmosphere & menu are seriously cool though

    Buffalo shrimp tacos with onion straws
    Claire A.

    I am in savannah to see a savannah bananas game, with my son, who is a vegetarian. Per Yelp, Poe's Tavern had vegetarian options and it just so happened its directly across the street from our hotel. The atmosphere was nice, the staff very friendly and ,yes, good options for a vegetarian. They have a large burger selection, all named after Edgar Allen Poes books. Each burger comes either beef or vegetarian. My son had one with a name i can't pronounce which had guacamole, aoili, lettuce, tomato and pickle. All come with a side, he chose potato salad. He liked the burger and said the potato salad was good but oniony. I had buffalo shrimp tacos ..the dish had 2 tacos with 5 shrimp each in them, shredded cabbage and choice of bleu cheese or ranch. I chose onion straws as my side. The tacos were delicious and I couldn't finish it all. Our server Chris was excellent. Our drinks were never empty and he was very attentive. We may go back while we're here. I recommend this establishment

    Burger
    Brian S.

    Stopped by after hearing good things and enjoyed the place. The burger was really delicious and cooked perfectly. The sides, however, were sub par. The fries that came with the burger were not crispy at all and kind of soggy and bland. The coleslaw looked unique with bacon and blue cheese was extremely watery and tasted almost bitter. Would go back, but for the burger only. Service was good.

    Shrimp salad
    Kath R.

    The service was great. Super attentive and seemed to operate as a team. Our server was Grey she really did great with recommendations and keeping our drinks full. Food hit the mark, fresh and good amount. Price on par with area . Ample and comfortable seating. Would eat here again.

    tavern salad
    Vickie R.

    I am a fan of Poe, so when we saw that there was a tavern devoted to the author, we just had to try it! The hostess and waitress were both super friendly and welcoming. The ambiance was dark and amazingly Poe-esque! I took many photos of the art and books and quotes that decorated the tavern. I was so in love with the theme that I also purchased a teeshirt, which is super soft and one of my favorite souvenirs from GA! The menu had your standard tavern food, but served fast and came out hot. The tavern salad was fresh and my quesadillas were delicious. Hubby got a burger and said it was good, but very basic. The hallway leading to the restrooms was dark and moody...books lined the shelves between the men's room and women's room. I felt like I was visiting a Poe museum and it was a bonus that they served some decent eats! If you're looking for an atmospheric tavern that serves your basic bar food, this is the place! The staff were all very friendly and served your food with a smile.

    Walking through this residential neighborhood of single and 2 and 3-family homes I was surprised…read morewhen this place appeared, still a few blocks away from the main commercial areas. Tacos, perfect for a light meal. I asked for a table on the semi-enclosed patio. It looked cozy, with its low painted walls, table umbrellas and overhead canopies, birds chirping and Mexican music softly playing. I had two street tacos, a la carte, and a house margarita. That would be enough with the complimentary chips and salsa for the small lunch that I wanted, but I'd recommend three for a normal size lunch. The Lamb Barbacoa was tender pieces, moist from the rich simmer sauce, with raw and fried onions and lots of cilantro. A bit salty. The Pork Belly was large pieces, relatively lean, nicely rendered and curiously sweet/sour. With radishes, tomatoes, picked onions. Both were very good. As were the two hot sauces brought when I asked, one very hot and the other smoky and sweet. The chips and salsa were nothing special but both decent. The margarita was just ordinary in flavor and strength and served in a disposable plastic cup. It was refreshing nonetheless. As for other menu items, there are all the Tex-Mex standards and some Mexican entrees but I think I'd get some street tacos again; there are a large variety, many which I've not seen before. All the staff: greeter, bartenders, waiters, were fully bilingual, today serving a roughly equal mix of English and Spanish-speaking customers. My waiter checked on me frequently and his advice to try the pork belly taco (his favorite) was spot on. Another person was engaged in cleaning the entire time I was there, and I watched in fascination as she tackled every conceivable surface, using a variety of tools and stepladders where needed. Dinner and a show. I am easily entertained.

This review is specifically about the bartenders during our most recent visit... because wow. The female bartender? Incredible. Friendly, attentive, exactly what you'd expect at a place like this. Now for the issue: the two male bartenders (mullet and top knot). From the second we walked up, mullet acted like we personally ruined his day by ordering drinks. The attitude was immediate-short, annoyed responses, zero effort to be welcoming. When I asked for a simple margarita (tequila, lime, agave), he hit me with an eye roll and a condescending "I know how to make a margarita." Cool-then maybe try making one without the attitude? Top knot wasn't any better-same dismissive energy, like basic customer interaction was a burden. The whole vibe behind the bar felt more like we were bothering them than paying customers. It's honestly wild how two people can drag down the experience of an otherwise great spot. I'll still come back, but I'll definitely think twice about sitting at the bar.
