So you're supposed to wait to be seated (to get a table number), then go up and order and they bring your food to your table. When I arrived, there was nobody at the maitre'd stand so I just got in line like the other two parties ahead of me. I quickly figured things out and made my order of the fried Fish and Shrimp platter with cajun fries. I just came from the gym so I was pretty hungry. The food came out piping hot and it was simply delicious. The food was fried/cooked perfectly with no excess oil. Portion wise, I feel that I got good value for my money. There were so many things on the menu that I wanted to try but I guess I'll have to visit again!

Steer away from Anna's gumbo as it was inedible. The taste was so weird and so salty it was like eating salt. The shrimp was hard inside. Unfortunately I had to throw away $16 of gumbo.

We opted to sit on the open air rooftop,which is super casual and offers wonderful views of Savannah from three directions. The bloody Mary's were spicy, bracing, and the ideal way to kickstart the day, with candied bacon, pickled okra, and in my case a freshly grilled prawn. But the food was what really shined. Everything was fantastic: chicken and waffles (perfectly executed waffles and perhaps the best piece of chicken ever), the chicken biscuit (same elevated chicken breast on a light and hot biscuit with a perfect egg and the same candied bacon), and an extremely well executed plate of bacon and eggs (with magical home fries). Service was super, with even Chef Jeff coming out of the kitchen and sharing some of his secrets about how he makes the chicken so addictive. A shout out also for the oysters, which were fresh and delicious, and reasonably priced. Sorry Charlie"s is a gem, and has forced me to reconsider by previously negative view of brunch as an institution.

It feels high-end but keeps it strictly comfortable, kind of like a classic 90s beat--smooth, but with enough weight to keep it real. I rocked the namesake seafood soup and the Brussels sprouts, and they both hit. But the real MVP of the night was my wife's cornmeal-crusted fish and grits. She's been eating her way through Savannah all week, and she called this the undisputed champ. The waitstaff was 100--on point and kept everything moving. Word of advice: parking looks like a whole situation, so we just walked over from the hotel. If you're looking for a legit spot that's easy on the eyes and the palate, this is it. Peace.

The bisque is a vibrant pinkish orange and absolutely delicious. It is rich so a cup was all I needed. I then ordered the ICEBERG WEDGE (A crisp wedge of iceberg lettuce topped with blue cheese crumbles, bacon, tomatoes with house made blue cheese dressing).

To kick off the lunch, I went with their clam chowder with potato. This was pretty good with a good amount of clams, but it was a tad on the salty side.
