    Shrimp po boy
    Tim P.

    Went here for lunch on a Wednesday afternoon. We were told a 20 minute wait so we went to the bar. Ordered beers and then our food. Beer was cold as we waited. I ordered the shrimp platter and substituted collards for fries. My wife ordered the shrimp po boy sandwich. Both came with a delicious broccoli slaw. Our shrimp was fried perfectly. The tartar sauce was very good. Really enjoyed the collards over the fries. Restaurant is very nice and the bar area also. Server was good and took good care of us.

    Fried Green Tomatoes
    Kyle W.

    Cool and cozy spot! Was visiting Savannah and happened to hit this place for a "hangover lunch" and it did the trick! Ordered the fried green tomatoes as an appetizer and they were absolutely delicious. Best I've had for sure. Fried perfectly and great flavor. The goat cheese garnish and aioli (forget which kind) were the perfect additions. Kept it simple and ordered their wings as the main course; they weren't anything special, but were tasty for sure. The bartender was very attentive and made a very good Paloma (more drinking offsets hangovers ). Would give this place a 4.5 if possible. They had other menu items I was intrigued by so I would definitely revisit!

    Don't try.

    They ran out of cheese bits and the waiter was all over the place. Needless to say this is a place I will not come to again !!! The service sucks. The collard greens and bacon dip is a miss. The rum punch was more juice than rum. man this place is not what we (black folk ) thought it was gonna

    Chicken and biscuits with collard greens.

    The food was good. I enjoyed my breakfast. My husband said it's ok. The kids enjoyed their pancakes. The restaurant is clean and super cute. The server was attentive. All in all, I would eat here again.

    My wife and I kicked off a trip to eastern Savannah with lunch at Castaways, and it hit the spot…read more We started with the crab cakes. Awesome. Great flavor and a nice way to start the meal. For lunch, we went with the blackened Baja fish tacos based on our waitress's recommendation. Great call. The blackened fish added another layer of flavor, and the coleslaw was excellent--on the tacos or straight off the fork. The vibe was laid back, friendly, and easy. Local artwork on the walls gave the place a nice community feel, the staff was warm and welcoming, and the restrooms were clean--which always earns bonus points. Overall, Castaways is a great stop for a light lunch, good food, and a relaxed coastal atmosphere. Highly recommend.

    Service was excellent! We walked in and got seated and order taken within the first 5 mins. It is…read moresuch a cute vibe type of restaurant! You can sit inside and have a cute view at the booth ir your can sit outside in a little balcony type. Very surfer aesthetic! Pricing was okay too. We had 3 people and each of us had our own entre along with the 2 appetizer and it came out to be about $36 eqch with tips. I had the salmon blt and it could use a little bit more seasoning but it it was cooked just right! The home made chips were absolutely to die for because it was so delicious! Not salty at all and perfect crisp at every bite! We also got fried tomato and it was topped with I believe, goat cheese and it was so crispy and delicious, I do with it has a bit more seasoning on it but we paired it with the crab dip and it was perfect to the taste!

    We were not expecting anything spectacular at this little place in what's almost a strip mall, but…read morewe were happily very wrong. For an appetizer, we had the lobster & crab rangoon dip, with won ton chips, fantastic! I have never understood why more places don't make this. I make this for every party we host and it's always a big hit. He had the fish sandwich with Wasabi coleslaw. The fish portion stuck out of both sides of the bun. He really liked the coleslaw and anything above like from him is a big compliment. I had the shrimp tacos with a vegetable medley, expecting the latter to be blah. Wow, deliciously sautéed red onion, red & green bellpepper, yellow & zucchini squash. The tacos were also fantastic. This is the first restaurant I've seen with Painkillers on tap! And they garnish them appropriately.

It does get busy, so be prepared for a bit of a wait at peak times, and the outdoor seating is pretty straightforward (right along the sidewalk), but don't let that deter you. Once the food hits the table, none of that really matters. The tuna tower appetizer is absolutely the way to start. That said, you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Everything I've had has been flavorful, well-prepared, and clearly made with quality ingredients. And do not skip the drinks, specifically the pear margarita. Get one... or just go ahead and get two. It's that good and pairs perfectly with the seafood. Bottom line: it may not be fancy and it may be a little crowded, but if you care about great seafood and solid drinks, this place is worth becoming a regular

    My boyfriend and I like going around finding new local places to try when we're out of town and the…read morelocation of the place is great, along with good parking. They did have a sign saying they are open 24 hours as well. There are plenty of signs throughout the restaurant when you walk in letting you know of upcharges (because of the egg shortages) and if you're paying with a card, which we were fine with cause we saw it before we sat down. We were greeted with friendly faces and sat pretty quickly. It was pretty busy in there! 2 elderly women serving and 1 cook. It took about 45mins-1hour to get our food, but it was pretty good for a breakfast sandwich especially the bread it was served on. It was hot and ready. We understand when it get's busy like that it'll take a little longer to be served. The only issue we had was my boyfriend never got a refill on water nor I on our coffee. Again, I'll say because of how busy it was in there. I would come back and try this place again. I loved the nostalgic setting this place has and hope that they keep it like this as time goes on and repairs/updates needed. Truly don't see many diner's like this anymore. The bathrooms are for customers only & we did use them. They were clean as well & cleanliness inside was well-maintained.
