We were greeted and seated right away, and our server Sophia was very attentive throughout our visit. The restaurant is clean and has a nice casual vibe, which made for a comfortable dining experience. My mom ordered the 3 Egg Omelette with shrimp, crab, onions, mushrooms, and cheddar cheese--absolutely top tier! It was cooked to perfection, full of flavor, and definitely something I'd recommend. I ordered the shrimp and grits, but unfortunately, it fell flat. The dish lacked flavor, which was disappointing. To their credit, Sophia kindly offered me something else, and the shrimp and grits were removed from my check. I covered the toast I ate. Her professionalism and kindness didn't go unnoticed. Even though my dish didn't work out, the omelette more than made up for it, and I'd return for that alone! My cousin (who texted back too late) also recommends the fried fish, so I may have to try that next time. read more

At first, I thought a bit pricey for what I received. Compared to an older menu with old pricing. I'm gonna start off by stating that the food was pretty good. I did have some slight drawbacks though. I feel that it should've been a little more onion and peppers since that was an additional $2.25. Also the croquettes had bone in them (personally, I'm not a fan of it), if you like it/ don't mind it, then you'll love these. The eggs were cooked perfectly. Overall, I did enjoy my meal. I would order it again, but without the toppings. Be advised that there is also a 5% takeout fee read more

Great food. Shrimp & grtiz is OFF THE CHAIN!! Don't go out to breakfast often but "Smoking Egg" is certainly one of our favorites read more

Delicious grits and chicken n waffles. Great service. Just a note, they are not dairy-allergy friendly.

I recently had breakfast here at my Daddy's recommendation. I was not disappointed. Where do I start? There is a saying that we eat with our eyes first. On that note, The Smoking Egg is visually appealing. The restaurant is spacious and bright with yellow and white walls. The lighting was just right. The seats and tables were comfortable and spaced apart just right....and CLEAN! The staff was amazing! They really made dad and me feel welcomed. My dad is a regular and noted that this is the norm, and I got to experience this for myself. Everyone was so friendly! Our waitress was the best - so nice, energetic, and attentive! Now, the food! It was breakfast time. I felt like I could have eat everything, but settled on the crab cakes, eggs, grits, and raisin toast. Dad had the salmon cakes. We traded so that we each had one crab cake and one salmon cake. The crab and salmon cakes were smallish but solid - packed with meat and seasoned just right. The crabmeat was sweet and tender with a nice crust on the outside. The salmon cakes were just like what my mom used to make. The grits were thick and creamy, salted just right. Thanks to Chef for preparing my eggs just the way I like - over medium hard. Daddy had no complaints about his food. Oh, and the coffee was hot and delicious as well. We liked that Chef visited our table and asked about our experiences. He's got plans for expansion, so look out! Overall, I really enjoyed my visit to The Smoking Egg. It checked all my boxes - a warm and friendly atmosphere, great staff, and delicious and affordable food. I plan on becoming a regular. If i had to offer any suggestions, one would be to offer a complete menu. I would have wanted pancakes and bacon, but because they weren't on the menu, I wasn't aware that those options were available. Also, I inhale coffee by the bucketful. The coffee cups were nice, but a little small. It would,be nice to offer larger sizes. That way, in my opinion, the wait staff won't have to spend too much time refilling my cup. None of these things took away from my overall experience. I will be returning read more

This was The Smoking Egg's first full day of business, so there are some kinks to work out.  The time from ordering food to its arrival at the table was over an hour. Due to this, the experience turned from dine-in to take-out. When the food (fried whiting, scrambled eggs, and cheese grits) finally arrived it was underwhelming in presentation and taste. I am sure the kitchen staff will solve these problems in the immediate future. The check-in and wait staff were extremely patient and professional during this visit. I was comped for my order of bananna pudding due to the wait. I'll come back and visit this smoking in a few months and hopefully, the kinks are worked out. read more

I wish I could give you a negative less than one star cause that's what you deserve. The shrimp and okra gumbo is a absolute fail, cause why when I start eating the shrimp and okra gumball I got excited cause I thought it had another type of meat in it, but as I look at the other type of meat, which is darker that some of the other shrimp. I don't know if anybody ever seen old shrimp mixed with new shrimp and there's a big difference. The old shrimp are brown and tastes old and nasty like what is going on at this restaurant how you mess up shrimp and okra gumball is a very simple task just keep it fresh and don't mix old and New. Anybody should know that. Yall should be a shame shame shame shame shame read more

The Smoking Egg - Old and I guess somewhat new shrimp shame shame shame - Seafood Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

Stopped in to grab breakfast and do some computer work. Was not expecting to have such a wonderful experience. I got the fried whiting, cheese grits, two eggs over easy, the raison bread, and strawberry jam. Man, it was all so tasty! And the service was exceptional, also. I have never seen fried fish for a breakfast meat nor have I ever seen whiting on a menu before. I love whiting as I catch them on the Texas coast. So I couldn't resist. What a good choice. The whiting was perfectly cooked, the grits were tasty, eggs perfectly cooked, and the raisin bread was special. Next time I am in Savanna I will treat myself again to the Smoking Egg! read more

I noticed this place a few weeks ago ago as I was looking for a filter for my spa. Well I tried it today. This is a quaint little restaurant nestled behind the Bojangles on 17 near Chatham parkway. I'm glad I did. I had the Oxtail. Yum. Cooked til falling off the bone with springs of rosemary which added to it yummyness. When my husband and I go out of town we try to eat where the locals go. Well locals if you aren't coming here then you should. read more

1 I eat oxtails on the regular but will not eat from here again. Oxtail was good eggs was bland and grits was busting but the main problem Is the price they gave. Me two oxtails for 25 dollars. I called and complained and they don't have a set number of oxtails they give you which is a problem for me. Mind you I ordered two oxtails meals came to about 50-60 for basically 4 oxtails and don't get me started on size one big and one little read more

Probably one of the best brunch places I've gone to. The food was delish. I got shrimp and grits, my partner got the chicken and waffles. Absolutely delish. The service was great and the waitress clearly knew the menu well. The ambiance is great and comfy and cozy. It's a very welcoming vibe. Loved it, will be going back. read more

To the Pittmans..... First I must say thank you for being great role models as entrepreneurs as a couple as well as being friends to us. We thank God for you both. Now for the real reason for this message. Today was my 2nd visit to the restaurant. On Monday I had the oxtails with grits and eggs. Brunch today was the shrimp po-boy. Everything was outstanding. On both visits, I walked in to multiple greetings and smiling faces. The place was CLEAN and the staff was NEAT. Everyone was matching in their assigned areas. Service was courteous and on time with EVERYTHING. Even the cook communicated with me to perfect my order. Other servers had short conversations with other guests and checked on us often. The temperature and entertainment was spot on! The prices and portions were perfect as well. We thank you for the invite and look forward to our future visits. May God continue to bless your endeavors, James & Teia Moore. read more

We had a fantastic brunch. The vibe was chill and bright with a great playlist. The service was friendly, efficient, and precise. I had the crawfish and grits in Tasso cream sauce, a side of chicken livers and onions, and collard greens. My partner ordered salmon, candied yams, collard greens, and Mac n cheese. Everything was delicious - the collard greens were outstanding. We will definitely be returning. read more

The . YOU WILL LOVE IT!!! We couldn't tell if it was open b/c you cant see inside of the restaurant?rom the ou 1. FOOD IS GREAT ! PRICES ARE ON POINT! GREETED with SMILES. It was self seating. We chose a booth. (Our fav seating choice) 2. VISITING FROM ATLANTA for our sons 14th birthday. So, wdyk? A 14, year old and his only request, was 2 spend it w/mom & dad in Savannah! 3. GREAT PLACES TO EAT was one if our goals andI wanted to take him to a restaurant that would add to the memories of this blessed occasion. I chose THE SMOKING EGG"! 4. BLACK OWNED was a great surprise. Getting to support small businesses that helps people who look like me, like us... And to get outstanding service with smiles and with a welcoming atmosphere, is a definite plus! 5.FOOD WAS DELICIOUS. 6.The Chicken & Waffles, was enjoyed by my husband. The hubs said that the chicken was cooked to perfection, with just the right amount of seasoning on them. 7.OUR SON AND I CHOSE the cheeseburger with fries. CHEESEBURGERS was given a thumbs because, they were indeed very tasty! Just be sure that, if you like your burgers cooked well done... Pls check it 1st, b/c. the burger looks well done on the outside but the inside was pink(ish). I asked for "well-done but not burnt" so maybe it was a misunderstanding so I didnt send the burgers back. My son said his burger was still "mooing " but he was going in. He devoured it! And I bit into it multiple times before I noticed it was pink. So you know it's good if you'll eat it after noticing it's not cooked how you prefer. And I'm not that girl okay!!! I bit, chewed, &, swallowed several times and was not giving it back! After the 1th bite, I was willing to risk it ALL mmmkkay! 7. GREAT FOOD, GREAT TIME WITH MY FAVORITE GUYS! HOPE YOU'LL ENJOY YOUR VISIT TOO! read more

Great location, clean bathrooms, but food portions were very small. Whiting was very tasty, but only one filet. Should have choice of one or two pieces. Salmon patties were good but very small. Chicken wings were plentiful. Beverage glass for tea is very small. Service was a little slow but very friendly. We were seated quickly upon arrival. We may give them time to improve before visiting again. It was only the second day. read more
