    I think everyone is grand, however,there are many LOCAL restaurants that have much nicer dining options than the Chart House etc...Some of the River Street Restaurants charge alot and give a little. Do your homework and try some of the City Market venues!

    Sambo's Restaurant. On the way back from Disney World, we also stopped in Savannah, staying at the same hotel. That evening, 2 August 1978, we ate at Sambo's restaurant (a restaurant in the style of Denny's). Unlike Denny's, however, we waited for nearly an hour to be served and when we got the food it was cold. It wasn't like we ordered pâté de foie gras and duck à l'orange, just simple American cuisine. I only had a jumbo hamburger. You would think they had to chase down the cow and everything. Because of this poor service, Daddy only tipped the waitress a penny. That was to protest the bad service and to show he hadn't forgotten the matter of tipping. Hopefully, this sorry excuse for a restaurant, at that time across from Oglethorpe Mall, has either improved its service or given way to a real restaurant.

    Make sure you take a big snack beforehand to tide you over until you actually get served.

    Anything else except McDonald's

    • If visiting TEEBEE ISLAND make sure you pay for parking meter. They are everywhere. And even though
    90% were not being used I forgot to put a quater in one and got a $8 ticket.(A tourist trap)

    Oh, I thought it said taps... With so many choices of beer at Moon River Brewing Co., it's no wonder I was trapped there for days!

    • River St. (the Riverwalk) is a pretty touristy area of touristy shops, touristy restaurants, and touristy tourists. That said, it's still a good place for a beer and some shrimp.

    Bad service at AJ's on Tybee Island!
  • By mrschan on January 19, 2007
  • Savannah Page by mrschan
    • A guy from a bus tour company in Savannah told us that we should go to AJ's on Tybee Island which has a great view overlooking the sea, with a beautiful sunset. Well, the service at AJ's was slipshod.

    Our server had a sulky demeanour. We didn't even ask for the check when the server came by and slipped it on our table. Then, she came by a short while later to ask whether we were ready to get it. Ok, we get the hint. We'll leave.

    To add insult to injury, we were not given a choice, but were slapped with a 20 percent gratuity because we came in a group of 6.

    The view was great though.

    Crab Shack on Tybee. Crazy portions. No one goes hungry there!

    • Half of restaurants are below average for Savannah & expensive for what you get. Good ones include "The River House" & Chart house are excellent but at the higher price range.
