Queso Fundido with Chorizo
Laura P.

Strange Bird is located in a well restored, 1967 vintage streamliner. It will certainly catch your eye when driving by, and the casual Mexican fare is yummy! We shared the Queso Fundido and enjoyed every cheesy bite! The crispy wings were indeed Crispy, but tender chicken on the inside. They were finger lickin' good! Service was friendly, efficient and we look forward to returning!

We stopped in for lunch around 3 on a Saturday! It was slight busy but we were lucky enough to sit down immediately. I love the decor in this quaint space, it's very nicely done. The tacos were delicious - 3 for 15$ so not a bad deal at all. I ordered the chorizo, pork, and chicken. The chicken was mild but juicy. The pork was a little dry but still very good with their house made sauces. My favorite was the chorizo which was mixed with peppers and delicious. They have a super cool drink menu as well, with alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks alike. I cant wait to come back again and try more of their dishes!

Shrimp, cauliflower and mushroom pastor, crispy chicken tacos
George E.

In Savannah for vacation and was directed by Air BNB host to Strangebird. They are located in an old 1960 metal diner that is elevated. Strangebird is definitely a step back in time. The vibe is nostalgic, retro and cool. The wait staff is attentive, helpful with suggestions and very friendly. The seating is limited and the AC is rocking. We ordered the queso fundido with chorizo, pumpkin seeds, pico de gallo, and chilis. The chips were hot and lightly salted. This selection was delicious. The series of three tacos were chosen: crispy chicken with garlic and lime; GA shrimp salpicon with cilantro and green chili; and the cauliflower and mushroom pastor. The chicken was dry and lacked flavor. The shrimp also contained minimal flavor and unremarkable. The cauliflower and mushroom was packed with and great pineapple flavor and was deemed our favorite. Our waitress also suggested the refried butter beans with cotija, Mexican crunchy corn, red onions and cilantro. A unique choice and good flavor. A great suggestion by our waitress. The nostalgic restaurant was fun but the food did not meet our expectations. Overall, we found the meal to be only average. We wish Strangebird the best and would be hard pressed to recommend.

Inside/menu

Very impressed!! I stopped by here on a Monday evening when I saw that they were open. Inside there were only a handful of people and eclectic music playing on the speakers. I had a seat in a booth, and my waitress provided me with the specials. I opted to go for the mushroom and cauliflower pastor tacos, crispy potatoes and Jamaica Agua Fresca. OMG! The tacos were absolutely amazing and definitely top 5 tacos I have experienced. Being vegetarian is not for the weak, lol. The crispy potatoes were good, but I wasn't a huge fan of the sauce on them, wish it would have been placed on the side. The Fresca was good, and refreshing, too. I hope they never take those tacos off the menu because they were so delicious. (They have a parking lot, too, so parking was easy and accessible.) I will be back for those tacos!

Crispy chicken tacos + crispy rice
Lindsay S.

If you haven't tried Strange Bird yet you're definitely missing out!! A little gem tucked off Henry & Barnard - this streamliner is restored so nicely! There's limited seating inside, with a few tables outside on the sidewalk. The staff is very friendly and the service is quick. I got the French onion burger with a side of crispy potatoes. One word... delicious!! It was a crispy smash style burger served on toast with mushrooms, onions, cheese, potato chips and an onion sauce on top. Everything was perfect about it. The side of potato wedges were good too. Honestly, I would love the potato wedges with the onion sauce of them! Maybe something I'll try to customize in the future. My husband ordered the crispy chicken tacos. He said "oh I'll be thinking about these tacos tomorrow, they're so good!" 5 stars all around!

Plenty of parking
Liz M.

Food, service and ambience all fantastic. We just moved here from Chicago and finally got a great meal! Super fresh and the flavors were original but not too exotic. Homemade sauces, dressings are always fun to try! The diner atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. Prices very reasonable.

Great staff, amazing food! The flavors in each dish is so rich and complex. I came here for the first time today and left with a good high!

Banana pudding
R A.

This little place will give you a unique dining experience not only because of cuisine fusion but also because it is an old school train. The chips tasted fresh and were perfectly thick and crunchy. We ordered a blackeyed pea salad that was very flavorful & fresh & went well with the chips. The corn was also very tasty, some of the best I've had and the presentation was also very fun. The veggie & chicken tacos were warm with gooey yummy cheese and there was a lot of depth of flavor. The banana pudding was creamy and the churro bits on top were a perfect addition! Our service was fantastic. Very glad we came here!

Pork dumplings
Harry G.

My normal Wednesday location was closed to I headed over to Strangebird tonight and am thankful I did. They had a Ramen Pop-up going tonight and I am happy I got to experience this and enjoy the food there. It's an old style diner so it is t large. Think there are 6 4 top tables and I think 14-16 seats at their bar areas. So don't expect large groups. The service there is wonderful and they all want you to have a good time and enjoy yourself while there. I had their pork dumplings which were very filling and the Keegan Fillion Tonkatsu ramen. If I had to give one detractor was the amount of pickled ginger in the ramen which I felt over powered the subtle flavors in the ramen broth. I'm thankful I got to eat there tonight and hope that they hold more of these pop ups in the future.

Dinner! We had a really good time here! And the tacos were really good! I can't wait to see their drink menu! I ended up having the shrimp cocktail and 3 tacos

Special of the night - a chimichanga from any of the burritos listed on the menu.
Adam C.

Talk about a local treasure! Located close-by Forsyth Park, this Streamliner was the perfect impromptu spot for dinner with my friends. We walked right in and sat at the bar which has ample seating. You know a place is good when the locals immediately start making recommendations with their favorite items. I had chips with guac and salsa, a salad, and the chimichanga which was a special of the night-don't worry, there were leftovers and they were just as good the second time around. The service was great, they had a decent selection of beers and of course their own version of a margarita. I'd probably go here once a week if I lived there.

This is the absolute cutest setting!
Kristen L.

First time trying Strange Bird. We will definitely be back. The setting is cozy and very nostalgic of an old fashioned diner. We were seated and served promptly and had excellent service throughout our time there. The food was absolutely DELICIOUS!!! W

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.

Bubba Garcia is a Mexican place located off of busy Bay Street in downtown Savannah. Street parking…read moreis available if you can find any or there is side streets parking. The menu is a mix of individual street tacos and basic mex dishes. It's not your typical Mexican restaurant with fresh chips, and table-side guacamole. But Mexican inspired with a southern twist added to it. The seating can be cramped since the tables are close together. They have a full bar and live music on the weekend. The menu has a mix of everything with some healthy paleo options along with a few traditional dishes. They were knowledgeable of allergies and happy to talk to the kitchen to check ingredients for me. The pulled pork, shrimp and beef taco meat was seasoned so well. Juicy with perfect flavoring. Whomever they have in the kitchen knows what they are doing.

The complimentary chips were crisp, the beer was cold, and I could have eaten their salsa like soup with a spoon- yummy! Their guacamole was delicious, too. For my three burrito meal, I chose one pork, chicken and ground beef. The chicken and ground beef were very tasty, but I found the pork filling to be dry and actually some bites were crispy. Not a reorder on my next visit. We will return!

My Cozy Go-To for Date Night Vibes…read more I love this place so much, it has officially earned a permanent spot on our date night rotation. Órale Tacos + Tequila has everything I want in a restaurant: comfort, good food, and people who make you feel like you're right at home. My husband and I are hooked on their American-style quesadillas--mine with shrimp, his with chicken--and let me just say, the portions are generous and they somehow taste even better the next day! Moffie (I hope I'm spelling her name right) is usually our server and she is just the sweetest soul. Always smiling, always kind, and just a pleasure to see. But then... there's JAZMINE. I don't know where she learned how to make an Old Fashioned, but I never want it made by anyone else again. Her hands are blessed. Seriously, I get happy when I walk in and see her behind the bar. The very first time we came, she was experimenting with a jalapeño drink and asked if I wanted to try it--it was FABULOUS. Since then, she's just had that "it" factor. Warm, creative, and magnetic. One time we came in and she wasn't working, and I genuinely felt a little sad! But the time before that, we hugged as soon as we saw each other. That says everything. This place has heart. From the food to the cocktails to the people who make the experience so special, Órale is more than just a restaurant--it's a vibe. A cozy, joyful, delicious vibe. Can't wait for our next visit!
