Hong Wild Platter
Forest B.

Some of the best BBQ I've eaten has come at the recommendation of friends (locals), long before being discovered by authentic food critics. Sandfly BBQ falls in that category. I shared a "Hog Wild" Platter with a friend while his wife tried the vegetable plate. They were sold out of ribs, so we rounded out of order of brisket (sliced), sausage, and chicken (white meat) with a second order of brisket. All of the meats were flavorful enough to eat without sauce. The sliced brisket was on-point. The sausage was grilled (vs. slow smoked) and had great texture and flavor. They gave me chopped brisket instead of a second order of sliced brisket and unfortunately it did not compare favorably to the slided brisket. The sides were solid. Crispy french fries pair well with BBQ as does savory, well-seasoned collard greens. The vegetable plate (fried okra, mac and cheese, cole slaw, and sweet potato fries) also received high marks. There is no review of the chicken, as we ran out of stomach capacity before touching it. We boxed it up for my friend to take with him. Hopefully he will write a review.

Beef Brisket Sandwich Mac & Cheese - Regular
Connie P.

Was here for the first time on Monday10/13/25 6pm & This place was recommended by a local and Sandfly bbq did NOT disappoint! I really enjoyed my brisket sandwich with the a slight crunch from my buttered slightly toasted buns with the bbq sauce. It was good. Mac & cheese was just cheesy enough. Service was awesome and informative. Not too many tables inside but was cozy. I highly recommend this place and would come back if ever in town again

Brisket & double fries plate
Sarah H.

I have never been to sandfly bbq when it isn't Poppin' but I took a late lunch break today and was delighted to have the plate to myself at 2pm on a Thursday afternoon. I had the double brisket and a whole mess of fries . My meal came out fast- fresh and most of all delicious! This is my favorite bbq place on this part of town and it was nice to experience it when it was but calmer than the normal Saturday afternoon rush.

Veggie platter
Rico M.

The food is the star! I visited Sandfly for the first time in Feb 2026. I was accompanied by a mate who travels the country and eats Bbq nationwide. He was impressed. I was in heaven! I had the Hog Wild Platter. The sliced brisket was melt in your mouth good. They were out of ribs, so an extra portion of the delicious brisket filled in. The pulled pork was well prepared although a bit dry. The chicken... ohhh the chicken was tender, juicy and delicious. For sides, the collard greens reminded me of my childhood in Florida. Better than mom's? Yes sorry mom! I love that it's unpretentious. It's not a tourist trap. It was filled with real local folk. The vibe is neighborhood friendly food. The service was friendly and helpful. Summary: Amazing Q, chill vibe, reasonable prices. I will return again and again!

Pulled chicken
Olivia T.

I don't love barbecue but I loved this place! It was super fresh and the meat was very tender. Sauces are great and so are the sides. Friendly staff and there is plenty of outdoor seating with our dog. Highly recommend the pooled chicken.

Three sliders plate and collards
Tim P.

Had lunch here on a Saturday afternoon. We got there around noon before the crowd about ten minutes later. Small dining room inside and tables outside. Order at a counter and they bring your food quickly. I got the three sliders,(sausage, pork, and brisket) with collards. My wife got the six wings with fried okra. I really enjoyed my sliders with their sweet sauce. The collards were very good with pepper sauce on the table. My wife got the wings dry rubbed with a dipping sauce she enjoyed. Fried okra was good. Good barbecue experience.

Brunswick stew - quart $18
E C.

Delicious bbq, one of the best out there. The Brunswick stew is probably the best we've ever had and is at the top of its category. A little pricey though, but the quality stands out.

Sally C.

Stopped in on a recommendation from our daughter. So glad we did. We ordered the Hog Sampler which gave you a portion of all their meats, two sides, and two slices of Texas toast. All the meat was nice and tender and had a great smoked flavor. The brisket, pulled pork, chicken and ribs was very tasty. The baked beans have a nice flavor, however, was too much meat and very little beans. The macaroni and cheese were not that good, noodles way over cooked. Potato salad wasn't bad. The building is small however, does provide outside seating . Service was provided with a welcoming friendly smile. Even though a few of the sides were not to my liking the meat definitely was. We will be back.

There was more than enough food for everyone. The baked beans and corn were delicious as well. Kelly was so nice and accommodating. I would definitely cater from them again. Slow Fire is one of Savannah's best!

I will revisit these meals in my dreams and wish I was a quick trip away from Savannah…read more I had read about this spot before our trip and knew we'd be close by one day. When we cruised past, I was convinced they were closed. We went ahead and parked and poked our heads in and were delighted they were open! We learned about the history of the truck and their new historical building location. We opted for the brisket (because its my fave) and the Cheerwine burnt ends (because Cheerwine and burnet ends? Need I say more?). We always do mac and cheese as a BBQ side and then we added the brussel sprouts due the high recommendation from the young lady at the counter. We hung out for a bit, and sipped our Cheerwine, and before we knew it, our buzzer was buzzing and the amazing smell was wafting towards us. We tore into all of it because everything smelled so good. After one bite of everything we couldn't pick a favorite. By the time the plate was licked clean, I knew it was brisket for me and the burnt ends for my wife. The mac and cheese was creamy while still retaining a nice crunch from the topping. The brussel sprouts were light (despite being fried) and a nice balance to the heavy meat and dairy. We were full and happy and grateful. When we said goodbye to the staff we mentioned we'd be back in the area later in the week. They said to come back and try to smashburger since it's made from ground brisket. So naturally we came back a few days later and tried it! My wife stuck to her burnt ends and I went with the burger. Again, 10/10 on everything. I am heartbroken to live so far from this delicious brisket. Do yourself a favor and treat your tastebuds to high quality BBQ when you are in town. Also, feel free to send me a to-go box full of brisket. haha

These are a must try if you like wings. Chicken and pancake tacos were delicious. Pancakes had a touch of sweetness. Fried chicken inside with a spicy mayo. Topped with a strawberry salsa that worked well. 3 of these were very filling. Fun and very good. Son had the double wide footlong. Topped with sloppy Joe. After that the 2 sides were different. One had fried banana peppers. The other side more classic with toppings. Son said it was really good. Others had the ahi tuna salad. Tuna was perfectly rare. Salad was good and the wasabi dressing had great flavor without being too spicy. Service was quick even though jam packed. Also very friendly.

Treylor Park was probably exactly what we needed at 11:30 at night…read more It's somewhere between a diner and a sports bar, but the decor is what makes it. The whole place is designed to feel like the inside of a trailer--spray-painted antique chandeliers, old pictures of different trailer parks, and random little details everywhere. It's kitschy, but very intentional, and honestly pretty cool. We came in late after a 4h drive into town after work, and the staff was still super friendly and accommodating. No "we're about to close" energy, which I appreciated. We started with the creamy collard dip, which is basically their take on spinach-artichoke dip, but with collards. Really good. I do think the chips were a little too heavy for the dip--a thinner chip would've been perfect--but that's a small note. The chicken pancake tacos were probably my favorite. The chicken was fried perfectly and still really moist. And at this point, I'm convinced Savannah just knows how to cook chicken. Everywhere we went, the chicken was consistently good. My partner got the grilled apple pie sandwich, which has fried chicken, grilled apples and bacon. He's not even a big pork person, but that bacon was so crispy and the whole combination just worked. Even the waffle fries were good--crispy, fresh and actually seasoned. We had the Grateful Dead and Wicked Kiwi cocktails, plus a couple of shots, and the drinks were strong, good and reasonably priced. Honestly, I don't have a ton of notes here. It's not trying to be some elevated dining experience. It's just a really good late-night spot with good food, strong drinks, friendly service and a fun atmosphere. We sat inside because Savannah in August was not about to have us sitting on anybody's patio. Definitely recommend, especially if you're looking for somewhere to eat late. It was a vibe, the food was good, and it did exactly what it needed to do.

I rolled down the windows because I could tell somebody was making BBQ, and the smell made us both perk up. We drove by and said to one another that we should try that sometime, because it smelled amazing, then we made it one street down and both agreed we needed to turn around and try it today. There was free parking at the church across the street, and the second we parked and crossed Waters to check the place out, we were greeted by clouds of decadent-smelling smoke billowing out from the screened porch attached to the building. I told my wife that I hoped we would smell like that smoke all day. The place was packed when we walked in, but it turned out everybody had ordered and was just waiting for their food to come out, so another customer told us to wait by the register, and about 15 minutes later we ordered a large combo plate and were given a ticket with a number to be called out when our food was ready. 10-15 minutes after we ordered, our number was called, and we took our bag (which felt like it weighed 5 lbs) and walked it back to our car across the street. We opened up the container just to get a sample before heading home, and ended up eating nearly the entire meal in the car, trying our best not to spill sauce everywhere but really not caring either way. The combo plate came with two chicken legs, about 3/4 of a rack of pork ribs, a side of baked beans, and two slices of classic white bread. It usually comes with potato salad, too, but neither of us are huge potato salad fans. However, we will try it next time, because I imagine they could put a shoe in a container and it would taste amazing given their cooking skills. The pork ribs were the most tender ribs I've ever had in my life. I've always said that it doesn't matter how easily the meat falls off the bone, but rather how easily it melts in your mouth when you've taken a bite. These ribs melted in your mouth. The chicken was equally delicious. The meat was tender and juicy, and--somehow--there was actually crispy skin on part of it, which had audible crunch when bitten into. The sauce was incredible. You can ask for it to be put on your ribs and chicken, or--like we plan to next time--buy a bottle to go. It's a mix of mustard and vinegar based, which is hands down my favorite. I grew up in upstate SC where you can find both options, but having them all in one was a dream come true. The baked beans were a great, sweet break from the chicken and ribs, and a slice of classic white bread is always great for soaking up extra sauce. I can't recommend this spot enough. Oh, and local, family-owned! We will 1000% be back.
