Shrimp N' Grits
Gabrielle N.

This place was delicious! We got an order of biscuits that were so buttery and light. For an appetizer we got the crab dip which came in a skillet and served with pita. The crab dip was very creamy and hot and the pita was light and fresh. The shrimp and grits was incredibly flavorful and was served in a Cajun cream Sauce. The pecan fried chicken was crispy and tender, we cleared both plates. The portions were generous. Our server was very friendly and attentive. For dessert, we got the Keylime pie. Which was creamy and rich. Would definitely recommend. The place was very spacious. There were a lot of different dining rooms.

Salmon with mashed sweet potatoes and asparagus. . .tasty
Jay W.

Our evening at the Pirates' House began with a fairly early arrival--we like supper around 4:30pm when dining out--and we were seated quickly. The staff is young but professional and we never felt neglected even though we were the only folks in our area. Drinks were tasty (Skullcrusher is as advertised!) and the food took barely ten minutes to arrive. My wife's salad was an excellent mix of blackberries, some veggies, but needed both more fruit and more shrimp for the price. My salmon was good and the asparagus and mashed sweet potatoes were solid, not remarkable. All in all, the pirates roaming the restaurant were a bit of a disappointment. . .but the food, even with the issues here, made up for it. The decor is delightful--not too much, just right--so yes, give this place a try and enjoy a touristy spot in Savannah.

Chicken Gumbo
Shavie J.

This restaurant was highly recommended by travelers on social media and even our tour guide. The restaurant was nice, the staff were friendly, polite, and accommodating. Our waitress, Veronica, was very attentive to our requests and needs. There's a pirate ‍ that roams around the restaurant interacting with guests as they dine and apparently a tour that we heard offered to others with small children. There's a treasure box near the entrance filled with lollipops They also have a gift shop upstairs. The menu was plentiful but honestly not picky-eater friendly, when you have teens that prefer tenders over delectable foods. One of the teens and I had the catfish with "creamy" grits and collard greens. The catfish was fried to perfection but fell short on flavor, the grits weren't as creamy as imagined but worked well with the catfish because they were a little more flavorful. I wasn't a big fan of the collard greens, they were a little vinegary and overly seasoned. There were no side options to choose from either. My son had the award winning pecan fried chicken and he enjoyed it. My other teen had the Mardi Gras pasta with chicken. She stated that the sauce was flavorful but the chicken was bland. My husband tried the gumbo with chicken and said it was a little too salty for his liking. We also tried a couple of appetizers, crab dip and spring rolls. The girls and I had the crab dip, it was delicious but the naan was overcooked on the outside and undercooked on the inside. The guys had the spring rolls and had no complaints. They also offered complimentary biscuits. The waitress inquired about whether we would like to see the dessert menu, so we took a gander and they had great options to choose from but we chose not to have any because we didn't want to be disappointed. All in all, it's definitely worth a try because they have so many options to choose from.

She Crab Soup
Lori C.

First I need to mention our amazing server(Lexie?). If I got it wrong I'm sorry but she was so friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the food was just OK for us. I got the she-crab soup and fried green tomatoes appetizer as my meal. I wasn't super hungry so this sounded like the best choice for me. My husband got the buffet and my mom ordered the she-crab soup and calamari appetizer as her meal. My fried green tomatoes were delicious but I felt the tomato portion was too small and the delicate flavor was lost because of the very strong and generous portion of pimento cheese that was under each tomato. I love pimento cheese but usually with crackers. I can't just eat it straight off a fork so I ended up leaving 2/3 of it behind. My she-crab soup was delicious but as I kept eating it became more and more salty. I didn't use any extra seasoning on it myself either. My mom's calamari was good but it started to get tough to chew pretty quickly and it seemed like it was a frozen product that came already breaded and not made fresh. When you're in a town near the ocean seafood is usually one of the highlights but not for us today. My husband loved the fried chicken from the buffet but that is really the only notable item he mentioned. I think the draw for The Pirate's House for most people is the atmosphere of simply pretending to be eating inside a pirates ship. I get it. It kind of felt like that and there was a kid there all dressed up like pirate having a great time. For me, Lexie made my visit but the food was not worth coming back for.

Drink menu and bad patch job
Shad K.

This place is the definition of tourist trap. Unique old building that's been scabbed on to accommodate large crowds. Mediocre gift shop upstairs with 40-50$ t shirts and trinkets. Food tastes like it was served out of a high school cafeteria. Free cornbread was the highlight of the meal. Salmon came with sweet potatoes and broccoli. Sugar coated hot garbage plate. If you want good food this is not it. If you're looking for a run down building and a hefty price tag with a disappointing tour this is your place...

Pirates' House Award Winning Pecan Fried Chicken
Lizabeth Y.

I'm going to start off by saying that I am visiting Savannah, Georgia for the first time and within a day of my travels, this place was recommended to me twice. At this point, I didn't know if this place was actually that good or if it was a tourist trap. Initially called the restaurant to see if I needed to make reservation orders or if I can walk in, was told that they typically take reservations, but if I were to walk in now, I would be able to get seated. Decided to take our chances and dine in by walking in. There were plenty of seats. Hosts greeted us, but we're not very friendly. Got seated immediately. The table we were at, maybe I was sensitive, but the light that dangles from the ceiling onto the table was not low enough and aligned with our eyes. Uncomfortable honestly. Our server was very quick, you can tell she wasn't trying to work that day. Cornbread was complementary, wasn't very tasty to be honest. Extremely dry, even the jam was helpful. I opted for the New York steak with fries, nothing wow. My boyfriend got the award-winning house fried chicken with pecan sauce on the side. It was pretty good fried chicken, but not something to always come back to. Honestly, we were very disappointed because this place was very overhyped. I'm glad I tried it, but it's not something that I would recommend because it was mediocre.

Mardi Gras pasta with shrimp
Gena A.

My Mardi Gras pasta with shrimp was exceptionally tasty. We had walked all over Savannah and we're hungry and tired, but we did not have reservations, However, they still accommodated us. Our waitress/bartender was very busy. It took her a while to get to us, but it was worth the wait. When I asked what is the green stuff in my food she said I don't know. She had to go ask someone. She might be new. The place is decorated like a pirate ship.

She crab soup
Am O.

Fantastic food and service. A goal while visiting the South was to try fried green tomatoes, they didn't disappoint. The She crab soup was silky and rich. Will definitely come back.

Brunch Buffet
Kat J.

Came here for our first meal in Savannah and thought this would be the perfect place to get a variety of southern food. You can order Ala carte or buffet and the buffet lunch prices were super reasonable ($21/adult & $14/kids). There were about 14 dishes to choose from and complementary corn muffins/biscuits. Service was prompt and extremely friendly. Now in terms of food, it was just ok. They were serviceable, nothing to write home about. I am rating it above average due to the great value and friendly service, but the food is probably just about 3 stars. The fried chicken was oversalted on the outside and overcooked. The space is really cool with a fascinating history. Ask for a tour at the end. Fun way to finish the experience

Outside
Kika G.

The ambiance of this restaurant is all things pirate! Walking into this place feels like stepping back in time. The floors and walls are wooden as with the hostess table. They had an open chest with a booty of lollipops. When we got to the table we noticed the children's menu doubled as a pirate hat, mustache, and earrings. What a cute touch! The little one tried & loved the She Crab Soup. We all enjoyed the Honey Pecan Fried Chicken and the Crab Cake & Broiled Shrimp. The 3 of us left full with leftovers.

Kayli D.

Being honest, this isn't a place I would've picked but it was great! We were staying nearby and starving and this hit the spot. Easy wheelchair access and its own parking lot. The fried green tomatoes were crispy, big buffet option, the burger loaded with pimento cheese, even pulled pork sliders with pimento cheese! Very southern and delicious. Everyone we talked to was so friendly, and what a cool vibe inside.

Alan N.

The honey pecan fried chicken is actually pretty fire. It was delicious. Prices weren't that high. It's a famous house that used to serve to pirates. There are some cool artifacts and remains of the old pirates building. You can get a 2-5 minute tour of it at the end of your meal. It's free... although they ask for tips. The honey pecan fried chicken is ONLY for dinner. After 4pm. Before that, it is only the lunch special which has a very different menu. Pressable penny by the entrance across from the hostess

Pirate's House Award Winning Honey Pecan Fried Chicken
Kylie M.

This was an amazing dinner! We came for my daughter's 5th birthday . Everyone was so amazing and nice. I got the pecan chicken which was okay it wasn't my favorite but my husband got the shrimp,fish, and fried oysters po/boy which was amazing! The sauce it came with was amazing as well! It was a bit busy when we came but we got a table within 15mins. Our server Donta was so kind and patient when my kiddo was ordering ! We would love to come again and try another dish . Also while we were there we got to tour the whole building which was epic to see all the history from 1751! The gift shop is also a must to hit while your there and take home some pirates gold ;)

Reviews are mixed. Many highlight the friendly attentive service and historic pirate atmosphere. The popular fried chicken and she-crab soup are standouts.

How is the buffet is the food good what does it come with?

Did not have the buffet but it looked so good and smelled even better. We went for an early lunch with a group of people so we all ordered off the menu.

Is outdoor area dog friendly?

From I saw , there were some seating on the outside and can't see there being an issue as far as pets go. You can always call the main number or reservations and sure they can answer this question further.

Yes! We were there in late September for lunch, and the buffet was open. It was fantastic

Are y'all open on thanksgiving?

Yes, they are open on Thanksgiving. They serve a huge, grande buffet only. No menu service. I suggest making a reservation in early September. That may seem early but the time slots fill up fast before October. It is reservation only that day. 11AM…

But once you do, you will find this to be a very adequate buffet experience. First of all, this restaurant is tucked in the corner of a strip mall located in a larger complex with multiple Asian dining options, including two different. Korean restaurants. But they are plenty of parking spaces. So you shouldn't have any issue here. The restaurant is not extremely large but has plenty of seating. And on the Saturday afternoon that we visited we were immediately seated. Now the restaurant is a bit dated, and the booth we were in definitely shows some wear and tear with both bench seats having the vinyl split right down the middle. There are a couple of TVs on running Fox News, and the dining room is relatively quiet with just the chatter from other tables and booths. The selection of food is pretty good given the size of the restaurant and the overall price point. They have pre prepared sushi, hibachi and a plethora of fried food options,both on the Chinese and American side. They have a small dessert menu, but not much in terms of options. They have a pretty impressive fresh bar with fresh peeled shrimp, mussels, and oysters, which I was a bit, surprised to see. The oysters were refreshed while we were there, so I decided to try a couple and they weren't bad at all. I'm usually a bit nervous about trying oysters at buffet, but they did a good job of keeping them really iced and chilled. Service was also really good with the owner greeting new customers as they walked in and our server staying on top of our drinks and picking up our empty plates promptly. And the best thing about this place is the price. For two people our total bill came to a little bit over $40. This is a really good value given the variety and the service. Definitely will be a standard in my rotation of buffets here in Savannah.

They have a nice mix of Chinese food and traditional American comfort dishes, so their buffet has plenty of choices to make everyone happy . They also have a nice dessert section, hibachi grill (included in the buffet price), sushi, and a decent salad bar. I have always been able to be seated rather quickly even during their busy times at lunch and dinner. They can accommodate solo diners and large groups. There is plenty of free parking in front of the business. They are conveniently located right off highway 80, so you are able to avoid most of Poolers Outlet Mall traffic. It is a great spot if you desire variety as your meal.

Without question, one of the best dining experiences we've had in Savannah!…read more Sisters of the New South exceeded every expectation. The food was absolutely outstanding, from the quality and preparation to the incredible flavor of every dish. I ordered the fried pork chops, which were perfectly crispy on the outside, thick, tender, and incredibly juicy on the inside. The green lima beans were seasoned beautifully, and the Southern-style baked macaroni and cheese was exceptional. My husband ordered the smothered pork chops and was equally impressed. Every single item we tried was delicious. What made the experience even better was the outstanding customer service. The staff was welcoming, friendly, and attentive, making us feel genuinely appreciated as customers. It's rare to find a restaurant where the food and service are both this exceptional. Sisters of the New South has easily earned the number one spot on our list of favorite restaurants in Savannah. If you're looking for authentic Southern cooking prepared with care and full of flavor, this is the place. We will absolutely be back!

We had a chance to visit 912 Korean BBQ and hot pot last weekend. We were looking for something…read morecasual but filling for dinner and because we had not tried out this place yet but had driven by several times, we decided to check it out. Definitely a great decision on a hunch. This is an all you can eat hot pot concept and frankly my first time attending this version. While I have visited hibachi restaurants in the past, this is not that. Basically this is a dual table side prep concept where you can either make your own custom soups and broths, and hot pot seafood or you can select the grill and grill of a variety of fresh meats and fish and vegetables, or you can get both. Both come with a small dessert bar and seem to be accompanied with the additional Fresh salad and sauce bar, although I'm not quite sure if one of those may have been restricted if you did the grill only or the hot pot only. Pricing is pretty fair at about $30 a person which rises to mid 30s if you decide to get both options. We went with the combo because we had never tried this concept before, but in the future, I may lean more towards the grill option only. Especially if I'm not in the mood for hot pot or soup. But I definitely enjoyed the combination choice for our first visit. The meat and vegetable selections at this restaurant are pretty vast and this is after the server first sets you up and allows you to pick from several different types of broth for your hot pot. In addition, they have a sauce bar that must've had 20+ sauces available to choose from. I think one of the most overwhelming aspects of this concept is lack of familiarity with the right combinations of hot pot and grilled options. For this we leaned heavily on our server and she did a great job of guiding us through a couple of her favorite combinations, as well as some of the favorite combinations of other patrons. This was really helpful because there isn't a menu or chart to help you unlock all of the really cool combinations that you can put together including Ramen udon and Thai soup varieties. All of the ingredients you need to make any of those dishes, but in your own customize version, are here to your heart's desire. Service is really good as they do switch out the grills rather rapidly as they will get charred and start to burn and smoke after three or four rounds of fresh meats and veggies slapped on them. However, they do not switch out your broth choice so once you make your choice, that's what you're rolling with for the rest of the dinner. All in all we were really satisfied with the freshness and the preparation of most of the ingredients and sauces. I did think the dessert bar was a little weak given the multitude of options elsewhere, but I also understand that this is consistent with the cultural preferences, which don't skew as heavy on traditional sweets, like American taste do. All in all this is definitely a treat for those looking for a great date night or just looking to take the family out for a really engaging and tasty cook at your table experience - all you can eat style!

Himalayan Curry Kitchen in Richmond Hill is hands down one of our absolute favorite restaurants…read more The service is always warm and welcoming, and the food--every single dish--is nothing short of phenomenal. We've celebrated so many special moments here, from Diwali to my son's first solid food (butter chicken, of course!), and it's become our go-to spot for both the lunch buffet and countless family dinners. There is truly something for everyone on the menu. My personal favorite is the paneer makhani, while my kids are obsessed with the butter chicken (I can't blame them--it's incredible). The chicken tikka masala, curries, and kormas are all rich, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. My sister and I can't resist splitting the chili paneer, and we never sit down without ordering a few vegetable samosas and plenty of garlic naan for the table. It's just as delicious when ordered on DoorDash--which we do often! My only complaint? They're closed on Mondays, and for whatever reason, we always crave it on Mondays. If you're looking for authentic, flavorful, and consistently outstanding Indian food, you can't go wrong with Himalayan Curry Kitchen. It's a true gem in Richmond Hill, and we feel lucky to have it close by.

Our server, Jackson, was equally impressive. The service simply could not have been better. I prefer my oysters roasted, and Sorry Charlie's offers six varieties. Unfortunately for me, four contain pork, which I do not eat. The fifth, Nduja, was unavailable, leaving the Garlic and Parmesan. As it turned out, they were excellent, so no complaints there. The beer deserves a mention as well. I had an ale that was cold and fresh, just as it should be. Even better was happy hour, when a beer normally priced at $7 was only $3. That's a discount of nearly 60%! Happy hour also features some oysters for just $1 or $2 each, which is quite a deal. We shared the She-Crab Soup, which was every bit as good as anything we get back home in Maryland, where we know a thing or two about crab. The Blue Crab Cakes were Savannah-style and slightly overdone, as the accompanying photos show, but nonetheless very good. There were plenty of other menu items we would have liked to try, but we finished with the Skillet Brownie, served hot in a small cast-iron skillet. It was pretty commercial and nothing particularly memorable, but heck, we came for Sorry Charlie's oysters, not Sorry Charlie's skillet brownie. The bottom line: Excellent oysters, very good seafood, cold beer at terrific happy-hour prices, and outstanding service from Savannah and Jackson. The kind of restaurant we would happily visit again, with plenty still on the menu worth exploring.
