More than just typical Southern Food in Savannah!
Breakfast
Maple Biscuit Company
I love fresh biscuits, so was really excited to try this place out. Warning there is a line, but that usually means its worth it! I had the Squawking Goat, which was featured on Food Network. Flaky biscuit, all-natural fried chicken breast, fried goat cheese medallion and house-made pepper jelly. IT WAS AMAZING. They sell their house maple and one with bourbon but man I wish they sold this jelly! So much flavor, and filling! My friend got the three layer cake appetizer and she said it was the best thing she ever had! Fried hash brown cake with smoked gouda cheese, topped with chives, gravy, and an egg.
Goosefeather
Another great gem that tends to have a line. They have fresh breads, pastries and pies for sale in addition to your typical breakfast food. I opted to try the peach bars and it was SO GOOD! Croissants and bagels were so fresh and they serve coffee in cups or large steins!
Huey’s
Cajun comes to Savannah! We came here for the variety of eggs benedicts and beignets and they did not disappoint. My friend went with the crab cake benny that came with a fried green tomato, I had the friend chicken one with pepper bacon hollandaise, both were packed with flavor and a good portion of food! Beignets come in 3 or a dozen!
Lunch/ Dinner
The Grove
Made a reservation for lunch but decided instead of eating in the main restaurant, to enjoy the beautiful day on the rooftop. BEST DECISION! They have both high tops and couch with table seating. Live music and gorgeous views of the city. For starters we did the hummus and guacamole plates. Large portions both delicious. First round of drinks HAD to be the champagne pop that came with a King of Pop popsicle! That day the flavor was blueberry and it was amazing. Perfect on a summer day! We also ordered burgers with fries and switch to their adult capri sun drinks called the Cruel Summer Pouch, so much fun! It was flavored vodka, fresh fruit, OJ and club soda.
Graffitio Pizza
I love pizza! I love specialty pizza even more! Graffitio is located on the riverfront within the JW Marriott property. There is indoor and outdoor seating. We started with the melon and prosciutto and it was out of this world! They fried the prosciutto like bacon and the saltyness paired perfectly with the fresh melons and mint. The honey and balsamic was also a perfect touch! For pizza, we split the quatro formaggi and it was a mushroom lovers dream! So much flavor and the crust was crisp but still fluffy.
Corleone’s
Italian restaurant in the heart of DT. You could smell the amazing food just as you walk up! The wines were great, make sure to ask for the pairing with the food you have. Everything was delicous!
Drinks
Electric Moon
What a fun spot! Rooftop bar but covered so it was perfect when it started to rain! They have a variety of clusters of tables and seating and also hightop and bar seats. We only came for drinks but they do have some food options. I had the ELECTRIC MOON LEMONADE which had Absolut Citron, Blue Curacao, Lemon Juice, Simple Syrup. It was very sweet! My friend opted for the BLACKOUT which had Tito’s Handmade Vodka Muddled Blackberries, Lime, Simple Syrup, Sprite, Soda Water and she liked it. For an extra $10 you can get your drink served in a really fun lightbulb cup and you keep the cup. Unfortunately they were out of them when we went.
Two Tide Brewery
Originally had this on my list because they have a huge mural on the side of the brewery but I’m so glad we decided to go inside. This brewery is in a converted house which is pretty cool! Each room has a super cool mural, eclectic furniture and seating and a great vibe. Pro tip to get on the balcony, just open the windows! They have so many beers on tap, I recommend doing flights so you can try a few options!
The Grove
Adding this here twice because even if you only have time for drinks, add this to you list! In addition to the great options we had listed above. They also have large group drinks like a big cups that have like 12 drinks inside which make for good pictures too!
