Wendi Decker-MillerDecember 29, 2013Really great service! I wasn't watching my blood sugar levels and they dropped. The manager was calm and great offering to get me something to eat while our food came out. Really grateful!
Anna WanzerMay 24, 2014They have the best food. The shrimp Orleans is amazing and is a definite must when eating here. Oysters are fresh and clean and delicious. I would come here a million times over if I loved closer.
JeremyDecember 31, 2012Great food right on River St with a casual atmosphere and good prices. Something for everyone. I got the low country shrimp boil and crab chowder. Both excellent!Upvoted Feb 9
CJuly 10, 2021Shout out to the homey at the black dog for recommending this place. The food was amazing and Simply Southern. Go for the gator tail and shrimp & grits to get that true Florida Georgia Line vibe!
Dfw DeanMay 23, 2023Crab Cake Sandwich with fries: really good.Fried Green Tomatoes BLT: where has this been all of my life!! The potato salad was average. Oh well.Local beer selection is worth exploring: I did 馃榿
Jess KeathleyAugust 15, 2021Crab cake appetizer was really good, as well as the Club sandwich. Prices are a little high but that鈥檚 par for the course on River street. 4/5 stars!
岽� Derr BorundaMay 13, 2013This best damn place down on river front!! The sweet tea is amazing the fish and the potatoes skins are to die for!! I'm going to miss this place wish i could take it back home to Ohio :(
Terri BarkerFebruary 3, 2017The blackened pork chops, sweet potato fries and slaw were great! Hubby had grouper fingers. He loved them! I don't think you'd can go wrong eating here.
Sam HigginsMarch 8, 2024Excellent place for lunch. Very friendly and helpful waitstaff. Excellent place for salads and seafood.
Christopher JohnsonJuly 29, 2012Amazing food and great service. The shrimp and tortellini was to die for. Scallops were cooked perfectly and nice and fresh. Make it a point to eat here
Jeffrey AllenderJuly 18, 2013Great place! All the food is great. Be brave and tempt your curiosities with the alligator bites. They're great! My first time. Tastes like chicken
Eryka JenningsAugust 15, 2023The Tybee crab chowder was very good. The house salad with chicken was good and was a very large portion.
Avery ChipkaMarch 1, 2016You know you have found a great spot to drink when as soon as you walk in the bartender threatens to smack the person next to you.
Genevieve CallahanApril 12, 2017Great little place to sit at the bar or take a beer to go -- yummy sweet potato waffle fries
Sarah DavisJuly 19, 2013Kenya the server is very personable and bubbly and had great advice to Oder the Cajun tortellini!
Melanie LongMay 10, 2021The fried green tomatoes are a must try! The chicken Caesar teriyaki... not so good. But this place is prob better known for some seafood 馃し馃徏鈥嶁檧锔�/div>
Jenifer MathisJune 10, 2015Every time I'm in Savannah, I stop at the Cotton Exchange for the Cajun tortellini! Soooo good!
Johnny WongDecember 29, 2015Better than many tourist traps, but is still a tourist trap. At least they have many seafood options. I had the Mahi poboy for lunch - not sure it was really Mahi, but it was still pretty good.
Matt FOctober 12, 2015I'd have to say this was the best meal I had in Savannah ... Cajun tortellini is where it's at!!
Kathleen ChungDecember 7, 2013Great service, great food! Try the garlic shrimp, Cajun tortellini and blackened tuna!
Ginger W.October 16, 2010My three favorites on the menu are the Tybee Chowder, the Shrimp Salad (either in a salad or as a sandwich) and the Seafood Scampi Fettuccine. YUM!
Tiffany BAugust 3, 2012Most def a must when u come to savannah! We where 3 days and ate here twice! Blacked tuna bites are fantastic!!
Lynanne YndestadJune 16, 2012Seafood scampi was delicious! Also - ginger peach tea cocktail is super tummy!
Colin ErtleMay 14, 2013Good atmosphere and food if ordering a burger order rare. Medium rare is more like medium
Shane KeysDecember 26, 2012Slightly overpriced. Started with nice hot crab dip, but the chips were stale. Bought BBQ Chicken platter. Pretty good except the rice bed was cool and dry.
