    We stopped by here as we were walking around. We were hoping to find a table, but discovered they removed most of their tables, in efforts to force people not to hang out for St Patrick's day. Pretty stupid considering they are one of the few places with only outdoor seating, yet all the indoor restaurants are serving at capacity. Let's use some common sense. Sitting outside is way safer than indoors, yet you're taking outdoor seating options away from people. The complete opposite of what should be happening. We grabbed a giant pretzel, which came with 2 beer cheese and 1 mustard. My husband also grabbed a beer here. We had to try and walk around to find a bench to sit on because of the stupidity mentioned in the above paragraph.

    Live German music on the accordion
    Chris W.

    Let me start by saying I was super excited when I heard a Biergarten was opened by the Savannah River. This was my first visit and I was disappointed and doubt we will return. All beers were over $10 per glass! It was actually a plastic cup which is a lesser experience than a glass, but I understand why they stick to plastic in the open air setting. First impression is this is super expensive. Additionally, the garden isn't very big. If I am paying over $10 for a beer then I don't want to carry a traveler and walk around. There needs to be a seat so I can sit and enjoy the German atmosphere. Now there weren't many people there on the Friday night that I was there, but it was chilly outside and is still in the COVID reduced traffic. There are two counters, on opposing sides of the Biergarten pergola. One side was German themed but offered local beers, not actual German beer. They offered a few German inspired munchies like pretzels. On the alternate side was an Asian Spring roll counter. It seemed very out of place. It was a really odd choice for the Biergarten. We enjoyed the live German music, consisting of a single man playing the accordion. The views of the River, bridge and boats was nice. Of course it's a great place to just sit and people-watch. I just couldn't get over the high price of the beer, and they eclectic mix of German and Asian fare. It's one of those things that make you go hmmmmm.

    Brat-dog with caramelized onions

    So glad we stop here! We got some delicious bratwurst dogs and pretzel bites. We got our dogs without sauerkraut and with caramelized onions. The pretzel bites were fresh, crispy and had a hint of something we couldn't recognize but was delicious! Sure, it's overpriced but it's in a tourist area and still worth it!

    Over priced and over rated. Buying a frozen pretzel at the grocery store would have been better than this one. Keep walking East down River St and you'll find better food.

    Holy moly, for an unpretentious little place shared with a Sushi shack the prices are certainly outrageous. We shared a small entree and an appetizer, drank 2 beers and 2 sodas and spent $61. Live German music was ok. Food tasted authentic, but I can't get over the price.

Had the texture of very fresh shrimp and was actually large shrimp....like 16 to 20 count. My one complaint was the cup of "butter". When I dipped my first shrimp, the taste wasn't what my brain expected. So I had another...same thing. It had a buttery flavor but it just didnt taste like butter. I used a spoon to dribble some on my plate. I think it was butter flavored cooking oil like you would use to make popcorn. The color was just like butter flavored popcorn oil. Next time I would specifically request butter.....I'm sure they have some in the kitchen. Waitress: awesome. Good service, checked on us regularly...very nice.

The fries were hot, fresh, and had just the right amount of crunch. The Reuben had great flavor. Service: There was one woman who appeared to be handling about 7 tables plus the bar (I was sitting at the bar). She was nice and pleasant, but it did take a while for her to acknowledge me and then another little while before she came back to take my order. Honestly, I wasn't too bothered by the wait. I was dining alone, wasn't in a rush, and it was raining outside--so I was actually happy to be inside and out of the rain! Ambience: The restaurant had a dark, traditional pub feel--casual, and fitting for the type of place it is. Overall: Good food, pleasant service

    I have been hearing wonderful things about Darling's Oyster Bar since it opened near City Market…read morebut hadn't had a chance to check it out. It's right in the heart of downtown off Congress Street and across from the Rail Pub. There is street parking, but being downtown, it can definitely be limited. I finally stopped in after dinner hours around 7pm on Friday. Since it was date night we ordered the raw tower, which comes stacked with everything under the sun: oysters, shrimp, snow crab, lobster and mussels. I also ordered scallops and asked if it could be prepared without butter because of my dairy allergy. The kitchen has no problem making them with olive oil instead. Super delicious! I enjoyed it so much that I came back the following weekend with friends. I made reservations online during happy hour (4-6pm) and we were lucky enough to be seated in the small back dining room tucked away behind the bar. Our server was wonderful and very attentive, and I especially appreciated that she actually paid attention to the allergy notes I included with my reservations. Of course we all ordered a dozen oysters each because they're $1 during happy hour and who can beat that? I ordered the scallops again because I liked them so much the first time, and around the table we had a mixture of lobster, mussels, dressed oysters, turtle cheesecake, finishing everything off with espresso martinis. Hands down delicious. The service was top-tier too. Our server never hovered, but somehow always checked on us at just the right time and made sure we had everything we needed. Two great visits so far and I'll absolutely be back to try more of the menu.

With a classic laundry theme you will feel the charm of this restaurant throughout your meal. Food- The food was very good and with an open kitchen you can tell that the chef's take their job very seriously. However the flavors for me just weren't my favorite. I found the gravy of the chicken and waffles to be very herbaceous. Too much so for my taste. The breakfast plate was also just alright. The duck fat fried fries were pretty good although they lacked seasoning. Very well decorated with good service to boot. Check it out whenever you're downtown!

The drinks were flowing, the food was cooked well, the service was great--and when I looked over and saw the two-year-old at our table eating the Captain Crunch waffle exactly as intended, cereal AND waffle in the same bite, I knew we had a winner. We started with the mozzarella nuggets and disco fries. The mozzarella nuggets were some of the best I've had. Fresh cuts of mozzarella with this really thin, crispy, almost chicken-fried batter, so you actually get a good bite of CHEESE instead of mostly breading. They came with a chunky, fresh-tasting tomato marinara that worked really well with them. Then there were the disco fries. I'm just going to say it--they did not look good. Mushroom gravy and dollops of pimento cheese over fries is apparently not the most photogenic combination. But they were DELICIOUS. The fries stayed crispy under the gravy, and those little bites of pimento cheese were perfect with it. I'd zhuzh up the presentation a bit, but I wouldn't change much else. Now, back to these catfish and grits. The catfish comes over grits with a chorizo gravy, and when we first saw it, we thought there was no way the fish was going to stay crispy sitting in gravy. We were wrong. The batter was thin and perfectly crisp, the fish was cooked beautifully, and when you got the catfish, grits and chorizo gravy together in one bite? That was it. Easily the star of the meal. We also tried the short rib hash bowl, which was good, but I have notes. I'm personally not an over-easy egg person, but I understand why it's there because the dish needs that moisture. Without it, it's really short rib, potatoes and eggs. I think some type of gravy or sauce would round everything out and take it to the next level. Still good, still fresh--just missing that one thing for me. The chicken and waffles around the table got good reviews too, and for drinks we had the Pep Talk, peach and blueberry sangria, and mimosas with fresh-squeezed orange juice. No complaints from anybody. I also have to mention the service. Everyone was genuinely friendly. We had a toddler with us who was having a moment, and one of the hostesses brought him a little toy to help settle him down. It was such a small gesture, but incredibly thoughtful. Honestly, I don't have much bad to say about The Laundry Diner. If you're asking me where to go for brunch in Savannah, this is at the top of my list. And again--get the catfish and grits.

On this visit, I just explored the hot dog side of the house. I ordered the chili cheese hot dog and fries meal. The employee taking my order also appeared to be responsible for preparing the orders in the kitchen. My order took about twenty minutes to appear at my table after paying. The all-beef hot dog was hearty and filled me up. The French fries were a different type than I am used to receiving, but they were delicious. There is an electronic ax-throwing game in the restaurant, which was closed, so I did not experience that. Crave is located in the middle of what I call a SCAD block of dorms and classrooms.

The iPhone GPS brought us to the back side of the building, but we eventually found the entrance across from the former Ghost Coast Distillery. It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop inside (no background music). I was surprised to see an axe throwing lane! And a wall of beers on tap. There were few other patrons dining at the time. This is an order at the counter and they bring your food out joint. It took about 15-20 minutes to prepare our one to go meal. My husband ordered the pulled chicken sandwich, which came with fries and a choice of side. He opted for the coleslaw. They offered us a complimentary cookie which I enjoyed on the way out. The to go order was served in a paper box and a paper bag. No napkins or utensils were given (this is the new "green" initiative businesses are doing, which I appreciate). By the time we got home to eat, my husband said the sandwich was great but needed more sauce. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. They mentioned there will be a grand opening party in coming days. I am glad to see this area of the historic district being built up with hot & new businesses!

You can order online for pickup while you're seated at Two Tides sipping their amazing sour beers, which is such a great setup. The patty was nice and crispy, flat, and well seasoned, and the Crispi sauce really makes the whole thing. That said, my patty melt had a few misses: the bun could've been toasted more, there was way too much sauce (it was practically drowning in it), and my patty didn't even cover the bun. The onions also needed to be caramelized more. The potato stix on top gave it a nice crunch though, and overall I still enjoyed it. They offer a gluten free bun for +$2, which was a nice option -- quality, soft bun, and both my husband and I got our burgers on it. His double patty was even better than mine, with tons of meat. We were both stuffed by the end. Overall a solid stop if you're at Two Tides -- would go back and probably ask for less sauce next time.
