Here are some other suggestions for a variety of culinary experiences while visiting Savannah.
Clary's Cafe
(912)233-0402
404 Abercorn Street
This place has been around since 1903 and used to be a drugstore with a lunch counter. It now serves everything from burgers to Caesar salads, and, of course, milk shakes and malts. We were told that breakfast is especially excellent. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Vinnie Van Go-Go's
(912)233-6394
110 West Julian Street
This place was voted "Best Pizza in Savannah" year after year, and I know why. Even though it's New York style pizza (not my favorite kind), I really enjoyed it. Try it with the excellent spinach salad. The building is set in a narrow wedge of a building in the City Market area. It's a low-ceilinged bohemian enclave.
Cafe Gelatohhh!
(912)234-2344
City Market
This is an ice cream shoppe with authentic Italian gelato that is made fresh daily. There are 24 flavors, superior coffee, specialty drinks, wines, and fresh lemonade.
Wall's Barbecue
(912)-232-9754
5151 East York Lane
This restaurant is located on a narrow alley in the middle of the historic district. It's like a shack, but it serves cheap deviled crabs, red rice, and smoked ribs with mustard sauce. (First time I ever had BBQ made with Mustard Sauce). Only a few tables so you might want to order "To Go"!
Old Pink House
(912)-232-4262
23 Abercorn Street
This is a landmark restaurant that offers fresh seafood and expertly prepared meats as their house specialties. It's an historic building with nine dining rooms and a cozy, dark tavern downstairs.
Gryphon Tea Room
(912)-238-2481
337 Bull Street
This used to be Solomon's drugstore, but it was recently refurbished by the Savannah College of Art and Design. It is now a charming but quirky tea room" which serves sandwiches, soups, and salads as well as hundreds of hot teas. The name comes from a carved mahogany gryphon clock in the restaurant...it's quite an ornate building too. Serves Breakfast and lunch only.
Savannah Candy Kitchen
(912)201-9501
Old Market
This is a great place for handmade southern confections, cakes, and candies. You'll just think you are in heaven!
There are others, but these are some of my favorites. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: See TextPhone: See Text

Allan and I had lots of fun at a landmark and tourist institution in Savannah called The Pirates'House.
It has been welcoming people to Savannah since 1753. It first opened as an inn for seafarers. "Here seamen drank their grog and discoursed, sailor fashion, on their exotic high seas adventures from Singapore to Bombay and from London to Port Said".
Today, The Pirates' House is a restaurant for visitors, locals, and is especially enjoyed by entire families. They have an extensive menu that appeals to almost everyone. I especially enjoyed the desserts! This restaurant is quite unique and spreads out in all directions. There are 15 separate dining rooms, and each one is different. There is a wide selection of wines, a Pirates' House Bar, and it is noted for its distinguished service.
The superb service was quite appreciated. I loved the lobster tail with an unusual butter sauce that was laced with citrus. I found the lobster to so tender it melted in my mouth.
Allan enjoyed the filet mignon that was sliced and served with roasted potatoes tossed with a blue cheese cream sauce. The flavors mixed nicely. Another time he tried the wonderful Peppered Rack of Lamb.
Of course I anticipated the much talked about desserts. It was difficult to make a decision, but I ordered the flourless hazelnut torte, and was I happy. I found that it was dense and fudge-like [ as it should be]. Allan had the Mocha Creme Brulee...if you love chocolate, you'll love it.
The combination of excellent service, friendly staff, and delicious cuisine made for an outstanding dining experience. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherPrice: US$31-40 » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than averageAddress: 20 East Broad StreetPhone: (912)233-1881

Fiddlers Crab House has an upstairs balcony/patio that you can sit at and watch the HUGE barges and other types of boats go up and down the Savannah River..It also has some VERY good seafood..The fish sandwichs are HUGE and the baked oysters are out of this world..The inside ambiance is really nice also but we spent our time outside on the balcony. It's very casual but nice.
Baked oysters on the Halfshell..Very good because they use real bacon bits and then melt cheese over the top..Super yummy! Leave a Comment Theme: SeafoodPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: 131 W. River StreetPhone: 912-644-7172Directions: On the River Front

Mrs. Sema Wilkes who ran her Dining Room 59 years died in 2002, and the restaurant was closed for some months. Mrs. Wilkes and her Mrs. Wilkes' Dining Room have been a Savannah legend for many years. Both locals and visitors loved her Southern charm and her delicious Southern style of cooking.
She won recognition and awards from Conde Nast Traveller and Southern Living Magazines, and she wrote and published two cookbooks.
Fortunately, her spirit lives on since her family reopened the restaurant.
The scene is still the same: at 11:00 am, a line snakes to the street from the basement entrance of this restaurant (a former boarding house). All the meals are served family style.
The sign of the restaurant stands beneath mossy oaks, but you won't miss it because of the lines of people waiting to get inside. The menu is seasonal and features a rotating group of traditional delights.
Grace is always said before you eat, and you clear your own dishes! A delightful experience.
The Southern fried chicken is delicious as are the snap beans, black-eyed peas, candied yams, buttery cornbread, and collard greens. Leave a Comment Theme: LocalPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: less expensive than averageAddress: 107 West Jones Street, SavannahPhone: 1(912)232-5997

I could not live in Savannah because if I did, the temptation to go to Clary's everyday for breakfast would take me over. The food here is great and the ambience is that of the small town diner where you see the same people everyday (we saw a lot of locals here) and can just sit back and read the paper over some coffee and a giant eclair. That's right, I said a giant eclair. We did not have one, but the eclairs were the size of a nerf football. We did have a pecan bun, which though smaller, was still insanely big and full of taste. Everything we had at this place (we went twice for breakfast over three days- that says something) was delicious and hearty. Make sure to do it right when you go and get your breakfast order with a side of grits and a buttermilk biscuit (in most cases, it is included). This place does not seem to have lost its local charm, depite becoming a tourist site after its appearance in Midnight in the Garden of Good And Evil.
The pancakes were maybe the best I have ever had.
The grits and the buttermilk biscuits rocked.
If you are brave, try a pecan caramel bun and then go back another day for a slice of warmed up pecan pie.

Cute little cafe' near the river front, the food was rather expensive but the food was good and so was the service. People were very friendly. We both had the Waffle with strawberries, perfect! The coffee was really good and they gave us a togo at no extra charge. This use to be an old basement and they turned it into this little cafe'.

I ate breakfast here... a lot.
They have a huge menu (breakfast and lunch) and everything is made fresh.
Eat in or take out.
Depending on what you order, it can be pricey.
The breakfast burrito or croissant, both with egg, bacon, and cheese (burrito comes with salsa).
They're bacon is excellent! Very crispy.
The banana nut muffin is tasty! Leave a Comment Theme: LocalComparison: about averageAddress: 39 Barnard St.Directions: On Barnard St. between Broughton St. and the City Market parking deck.

Every tour guide book tells you not to miss this. And I agree! My last trip had me waiting in line for an hour to get into this place for lunch. Worth every minute I stood out there! They seat you at a large table with other customers (who you may or may not know). The food is served "family style"---dishes just passed around. There was so much food on this table! As my grandfather always used to say, "if you go hungry it's your own fault"!!! Everything was wonderful. I even enjoyed foods that I normally don't eat (such as tomatoes and sweet potatoes). This place is a good deal for the low cost. No need to eat again the rest of the day!
