    House made chips!
    David M.

    I was in Savannah for a business trip and visited Wright Square for lunch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Everything about Wright Square was pleasant but unremarkable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I enjoyed my meal well enough but I will not recall it or Wright Square for very long. Service and the room itself were similar. No complaints but nothing either bad or great.

    French dip sandwich with coleslaw
    Tricia D.

    Do you ever just put off mandatory training for work to write an (urgent, duh) Yelp review? Me neither; never done it (eyes avoiding contact). The headliner here is the owners and staff of WSB really pay attention to detail and show great pride in what they do! Bravo! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The fresh cut (real!) roses at every table were a nice touch. Yes, each member of our family did a mini iPhone photo shoot by those pretty pink and yellow centerpieces[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. While there is no dedicated kids' menu here, our waitress had a few recommendations, and we ordered the baked mac 'n cheese and ham and croissant sandwich for the kiddos. Both were fresh and plentiful. I had a satisfying tuna melt with onion rings (that ended up getting traded for the uncoveted side salad that came with my 6yo's ham croissant). My husband enjoyed the pickled okra (surprise!) that came with the deviled eggs, and he inhaled (faster than usual) his French dip sandwich. I wish I had saved room for dessert! The case had offerings like red velvet cupcakes, key lime poundcake, and coconut cake slices. Drool, drool, and triple drool. [[HIGHLIGHT]]On the walls are also prize ribbons and articles about one of the staff's show corgis! So fun and congratulations![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thanks again to Yelp for putting this Savannah gem on our radar. We had a lovely Sunday brunch here prior to some souvenir shopping and being tourists on a walking ghost tour.

    Cheesecake and tea
    Jordan R.

    FANTASTIC! What a lovely experience, we will absolutely be back, we got the lunch special which is $32, including a starter, main + side, dessert, and tea / coffee. The whole meal was wonderful, service was super fast and friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is quaint and fun, just 11/10.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Cheese cake was lovely with the tea, the fries are INSANE! You have to stop here for a lunch. Absolutely delicious.

    Meatloaf sandwich
    Jeremy T.

    I was actually planning to visit another restaurant a few blocks away, but this one was closer to where I parked, so I just ate here. The Cafe has a small lunch menu of salads, sandwiches and apps. The space near the front entrance has a counter display with chocolates and other desserts. A few items looked good on the menu, but I ended up going with the meatloaf sandwich, which sounded unique and the waiter said its filling. It tasted good initially, as it is visually daunting due to its thick stature. Very hard to eat without cutting it in half. When I did that and took the 2nd bite, I noticed the inside was cold but outside was warm to melt the cheese. It's supposed to be completely warm of course, so for that I am deducting a star. It comes with potato chips, nothing special there. Overall for the price, I thought it was a 2/5 They have several different types of desserts, including chocolates, bars, cakes and a brownie. All are supposedly homemade by a local lady. I was going to order dessert anyway, but since my entree was cold in the middle, I was a comped a brownie and took this back to the hotel. I've eaten a ton of brownies all over the US and was extremely dissapointed in this one. I felt it was very basic and didn't seem to contain any exotic or high quality ingredients. To me, it seems like a teenager made it instead of a local town lady. In summary, I am sure other entrees are awesome, but I just happened to come on a bad day.

    The sidewalk chalkboard beckoned us in with a $5 Blood Orange Mimosa, so in we went. Cute little shop with a dining area, and counter service. The guy behind the counter was quick to give us his attention but seemed deflated that we were not eating so our drinks were just plopped on the counter with no care given to presentation. * The "blood orange mimosa" was a small plastic cup of Prosecco with the juice frozen into a cube, so we had to wait for it to melt for any taste. * The peach Bellini was a semi frozen chunk of peach likewise dropped in a small cup of Prosecco with no discernible nectar or juice to help flavor it. I'd never tried marzipan (which looked really good!) so I ordered one, and was handed a cute little banana. If you've never also never had marzipan, it's apparently a a gritty sugary almond flavored clay that people shape into fruits. Yeah...

    Flounder Fish n Chips with side of cole slaw
    Mara C.

    I don't believe in coincidence however I do believe in happy accidents, and this one was prime. We planned to visit another Yelp location but could not locate a parking spot anywhere nearby. Lucky for us this gem has its own parking lot. Score You enter what looks to be just a counter cafe, yet after receiving a kind greeting you are led into a very light and airy room with small tables and side booths. See photos. Luca, our server was just stellar. After seating us he came back a few moments later introduced himself and took our drink order. Returning fairly quickly we ordered the flounder fish and chips and the bacon wrapped meatloaf sans the cheddar cheese. I also wanted to try the homemade onion rings, and the meatloaf came with homemade potatoes chips I also wanted to sample. Score again! The meatloaf was tender, and the bacon savoury. I took one slice of bread off, preferring a more open sandwich style. The chips were fantastically crunchy with perfect seasoning. The onion rings; some of the freshest and beautifully battered I could ever hope to enjoy. One of the owners, Todd, came out to enquire how we liked the food, and also serve us while Luca was busy, and regale us with tails of his championship corgi's he and his partner have shown and bred. I told him how much we enjoyed the food and also as West Coasters we have recently discovered the Atlantic flounder which makes for tasty eating. Todd told us his comes mostly from Florida. I mustn't forget how my husband spied the lime pound cake in the front as you walk in. So glad we ordered it. Not only an interesting green color but also comes with tasty fresh black berries on the side. Plenty to share. Don't be fooled by the outside of the restaurant which rather looks like a bar or a pub. Be sure to venture inside where you will be delighted to find excellent culinary delights as the menu is varied, prices are reasonable and the service is excellent.

    Okra and Ruth's croissant sandwich
    Corinne B.

    Service is friendly and patient. the food.... Omg, farm and garden fresh deliciousness. They were out of a few things we wanted to try but were treated with delightfully off menu garden peaches with goat cheese from the chef. What an amazing experience, we will be back every time we visit Savannah. Thank you for the services

    Shrimp salad tomato

    This place is awesome! The food was so good it made my eyes water and the service was great! It's run by these two older men and they are lovely. The food was so fresh and they are so accommodating to any dietary needs. Highly recommend the shrimp salat stuffed tomato and the house made chips!

    Ham & Cheese croissant with fruit side and blood orange mimosa
    K R.

    Very friendly & prompt service of a delicious brunch. Nice selection of foods, ingredients are locally sourced. And did I mention their chocolates? Wright Square cafe has a charming area to eat in, a couple of tables for dining al fresco, tasteful decor and very clean. We will be regulars!

    Shrimp stuffed tomato
    Maggie D.

    If we could put six stars here, we would! Tod and Michael have the most amazing restaurant, and we enjoy everything on the menu! They know what great food is made of... fresh ingredients, excellent preparation, and simplicity. Add excellent service and you have a winning combination. Wright Square Bistro never fails! PS - don't forget to try the potato chips

    Excellent experience. We arrived after the main crowd and were seated right away. The table was…read morecovered with what seemed like every Southern dish imaginable--far more than anyone could reasonably try in one sitting. I managed about ten, and everything was well prepared, generous, and full of flavor. The communal-table atmosphere makes the meal feel less like dining at a restaurant and more like being welcomed into a very large Savannah family dinner. The service was warm and attentive, and the whole experience felt genuine rather than staged for tourists. For anyone visiting Savannah, Mrs. Wilkes is a must. Come hungry.

    Where to begin. There was hype of this restaurant and it lived up to it all!…read moreIt is a beautiful home that is a restaurant along a street with old homes and trees lining and overhanging the road. The hospitality is off the charts. You need to come early at least a half hour as the line quickly grows. You sit and eat family style. The host will assign you to your table with others to fill it up. 8 to a table. There is sweet tea waiting for you and dish after dish of goodness! Then they bring out the fried chicken on platters. 21 different bowls of southern dishes- okra, rutabagas, greens, beans, corn, biscuits and corn bread.... Oh my there was a lot. You will not go hungry as the staff are near each table and bringing refills of items needed. Then when you've had your fill, they bring by peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream on top and/or banana pudding! They take cash or check only. They thankfully had an ATM inside. But the man at the cash register said we could leave and go to our own bank if we wanted and come back to pay!! That wouldn't happen at very many places. Southern hospitality, great food, memories- it is all here. Don't miss this place when you come to Savannah!!

Looking back, we probably should've kept right on walking. We ordered the fried chicken, potato wedges, red rice, New Orleans rice, and cabbage, jalapeno cornbread and pecan cornbread. Unfortunately, the only things we actually enjoyed were the fried chicken and the potato wedges. Once again, it was an epic fail. The cabbage tasted like it had been boiled in plain water with absolutely no seasoning. Both the red rice and the New Orleans rice reminded us of Minute Rice or Uncle Ben's microwavable rice--bland, lacking flavor, and nothing like the rich, seasoned rice dishes we were expecting. The fried chicken was crispy, juicy, and well-seasoned, and the potato wedges were cooked perfectly, but those two items weren't enough to save the meal. We came hoping for authentic Southern comfort food, but left disappointed. Sadly, this is one restaurant we won't be adding to our list of places to revisit.

Because of that, I came in with fairly low expectations, but I left thoroughly impressed. The restaurant has a fascinating history and a great atmosphere, but what really stood out was the quality of the food. We started with a couple of appetizers, and every one of them was excellent. For our entrees, we tried the shrimp and grits and the fried seafood platter. The shrimp and grits were exceptional. The sauce had incredible depth of flavor, the grits were perfectly smooth and creamy, and the shrimp were cooked just right--tender, delicate, and never rubbery. The fried seafood platter was equally impressive. The white fish had a light, crisp breading that enhanced the flavor without overpowering it. The fish itself was moist, flaky, and cooked perfectly. The fried oysters practically melted in your mouth, with none of the graininess that fried oysters can sometimes have. The fried shrimp were outstanding as well--so good that several people at our table couldn't resist stealing a few from my plate! Our server was fantastic. He offered excellent recommendations, described each dish in detail, answered all of our questions, and checked on us regularly throughout the meal without ever being intrusive. We also enjoyed learning about the restaurant's history from a tour group that passed through while we were dining. Before leaving, we browsed the gift shop, which had a nice selection of pirate-themed memorabilia at very reasonable prices. Overall, this was an outstanding dining experience. I came for the history but would happily return for the food alone.

That search led me to The Olde Pink House--a magnificent historic mansion dating back to 1771, now home to one of Savannah's most memorable restaurants. The décor is beautiful, with antique furnishings, fireplaces, elegant woodwork, chandeliers, and enough historical character to make any ghost hunter feel immediately at home. The building is surprisingly large, with numerous dining rooms, each decorated and arranged differently. Exploring it feels almost like wandering through a well-preserved haunted mansion--though thankfully, the staff were much friendlier than the ghosts I had recently captured. The food was excellent, and everyone in our party enjoyed what they ordered. I'm not usually much of a beer drinker, but I tried the Hostess City, a craft beer brewed exclusively for The Olde Pink House, and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. Our server was wonderful, and we were even able to exchange ghost stories with them. We all had a good laugh, although I'm fairly certain one of the portraits nearby was laughing along with us. We arrived dressed entirely in black, and not a single person batted an eye. In Savannah, this is apparently considered perfectly respectable evening attire--or perhaps everyone simply assumed we were attending a funeral for one of the restless dead. After dinner, we asked whether we could explore the other sections of the restaurant, and we were told it would be no problem. We were able to visit the different dining rooms and examine the antiques and objects respectfully without disturbing the other guests. Be sure to visit the bar downstairs, Planters Tavern. It has a wonderfully haunted atmosphere, with brick walls, old-world décor, and a beautiful fireplace that must be especially inviting during the winter months. The basement's fireplaces were reportedly part of the home's original kitchen, which only adds to the feeling that the room remembers far more than it lets on. The Olde Pink House offers excellent food, beautiful surroundings, friendly service, and just enough supernatural atmosphere to keep a ghost hunter interested. I arrived looking for somewhere to recover from the night's haunting. I left well fed, pleasantly spirits-laden, and only mildly concerned that one of the ghosts may have followed me home.

    Alligator Soul has quickly become one of our favorite restaurants in Savannah…read more The food was incredible. We had the frog legs, duck frites, a wild boar ribeye special, and the swordfish boat catch of the day. My wife actually said the wild boar was the best steak she has ever had, which shocked me because we have eaten some very good steaks over the years. They also brought us a complimentary bowl of turtle soup, which was something I never expected to try, and it was fantastic. What really separates Alligator Soul, though, is the entire experience.

We had their summer special - warm peach one, and traditional. Aaaaamazing!! Atmosphere and decor were magnificent too. It's located in the basement, so it made our experience even more unique and fun.
