Fried flounder, mac n cheese, red rice, green beans, corn bread
Lisa W.

My first time here. I had driven pass this restaurant several times and always wanted to stop in. Finally made it and I wasnt disappointed. Unfortunately, on my day of visit, there were no collard greens...ughh!! I ordered the flounder and chose green beans with mac n cheese as my sides. The fish is served with red rice, but was shocked the red rice didnt have sausage. I've become accustomed to sausage. Despite that, the flounder was amazing. I SAID AMAZING!! The mac n cheese was pretty good, right around an 8/10. The green beans had no burst of flavor, a tad bit of salt needed. Personally, I use a little chicken bouillon. Nevertheless, i enjoyed my meal. The owner was present and very kind. I will be returning for collards.

Fried shrimp platter
Alison C.

We were told to try this place by the manager of the Beech Institute, a school turned museum funded and created by freed blacks 2 centuries ago. We came and unfortunately, a lot of the food we wanted to try was gone. But what was there was outstanding! The cabbage was slap yo momma good. I was talking to one of the chefs and told her I was gluten free and she made sure to fry my shrimp in just corn meal, not flour as she would normally. My youngest daughter had the friend fish and ate everything within 10-15 silent minutes. Food tasted like home. The service was like family fixing you a plate. My one issue is that some food was a bit salty for me. But I felt more like that was a flavor choice rather than an issue with the food. I was very happy.

The food was delicious and the service was excellent. All orders were cooked to order. It's best to go early in the day when they have all items available. This is definitely a place I'll be coming back to when I'm in the area.

Flounder platter
Barry K.

The food was phenomenal, I'm a foodie so I'll drive to receive great food and customer service with a smile. The fish was seasoned nicely, Mac and Cheese was very delicious, collard greens was like my grand mother was back in the kitchen cooking. Everything was slap your momma good. I'm a Regional Executive Chef and highly recommend this hidden treasure to anyone that's looking for a wonderful home cooked meal.

Cinnamon rolls
Oscar R.

Left a graduation and was looking for food and stumbled upon the sign at the corner of East broad st and it didn't disappoint. Shrimp, fish, cabbage was fire. And the cinnamon rolls are hands down the best I've ever had. Thank me later

Fish & Shrimp Rice & 2 Sides

Great food! We took our food to go and food was still hot when we got back home. All food is cooked to order. We ordered the fish & shrimp, smothered pork chop. It was all amazing! Will visit again when in the area!

Smothered shrimp and rice/smothered fried pork chop

Not a fancy place, but super nice folks and some of the best, most authentic southern soul food I've ever had (I've had a lot) if your looking for atmosphere keep scrolling, outstanding food, you found it.

Fried chicken with collard greens, Mac and cheese, and cornbread.

Had an amazing meal! Wish I was still in Savannah this weekend so I could enjoy the all you can eat…read moreseafood boil. I had it for dinner last night and it was fantastic! Spicy and so good. Mom enjoyed her po boy. Said it was very good. My daughters LOVED the Mac n cheese and really it was delicious. I may have stolen a couple bites. We also enjoyed a couple tiki drinks during happy hour. Strong and good. The service was good overall. And it's a nice looking restaurant. I did not like that for a family of four they wanted us at high tops. By my little one was asleep for a bit and then just sat on our laps. As a short person I hate high tops.

Our Uber driver highly recommended Sorry Charlie's, so we decided to give it a try. Our first visit was genuinely pleasant, which is why we came back. However, our second visit was ruined by an encounter with the manager. This person was extremely rude and dismissive--I'm genuinely shocked she works in the service industry. We arrived for dinner and were told there would be a 10-20 minute wait, which we agreed to. After approximately 20 minutes, the manager stormed across the restaurant and yelled at us as if we were children, demanding we not stand by the hostess stand. We had never been instructed to wait elsewhere. My wife reacted as anyone would have and expressed her frustration. The manager then escalated the situation, exchanged words with us, and ultimately kicked us out while threatening to call the police. Hoping to resolve things professionally, I returned the next morning to have a mature conversation about the incident. The manager's response was condescending: "You guys are brave coming back in here." This unprofessional comment from management spoke volumes. The food quality is excellent and the staff is great, but this manager is a significant problem. She is unsuited for customer service and needs to find work elsewhere.

Rhett was hands down one of the best servers we've ever had. He was incredibly personable and attentive, and genuinely seemed to care that we had a great experience. The food was absolutely delicious, and every dish we ordered was spot on. It's rare to find a place where the drinks, food, and service are all equally outstanding, but this place nailed it. We left saying this was the best meal we had in Savannah, and that's not something we say lightly. We can't wait to come back the next time we're in town!

We sat at the bar, ordered a drink and enjoyed so many plates! Warm wood finishes, exposed bricks, and more Edison bulbs than you can count. All of these details made our experience cozy and relaxed. We treated the Happy Hour menu as if was a tapas menu, sampling nearly all the items available. The staff was so friendly, attentive, and helpful as we made our selections. Baby Back Ribs - Tender! Charred Wings - Spot on! Crispy Street Corn Cannoli - Light & Bright! Red Curry Rockefeller - Such a fun twist! Single Smash Burger - Top-tier simplicity! I am looking forward to going back to try their dinner menu!

During our Savannah eating bonanza, we had brunch at Common Restaurant. The brunch menu is fairly…read moreextensive, so we had some difficulty choosing what to order....but definitely come hungry because the portions are large and the food is pretty rich. To share amongst the table, we ordered the cinnamon toast banane and crispy gouda grit croquettes. Thumbs up on both, particularly the croquettes which were the right balance of gooey and structured enough to eat with the delicious sauce on the side. The cinnamon toast banane was not so much toast as cinnamon rolls with bananas foster; the cinnamon rolls were really tasty and the bananas foster was good, though the bourbon flavor was strong. For my entree, I ordered one of the lighter vegetarian dishes - the mushroom tartine with tomato soup. I think it is one of the lighter dishes - certainly lighter than what my dining companions ordered - but it was still quite rich with a fair amount of gouda fondue in the tomato bisque soup. The mushroom tartine/sandwich was really flavorful with the pesto, cheese and tons of mushrooms. The restaurant is quite large with an upstairs seating area.

I will say the food is very delicious here. We enjoyed everything we ordered. The waiter was also…read moregreat and pleasant. However, the lady at the front was not welcoming to us with our children. She said upfront that there are no kid menus, high chairs and strollers had to be placed elsewhere. I get it, it is good for us to know but it came across a bit unfriendly. She also did not want my daughter to momentarily sit in the waiting area with the other guests. I would understand if this was a fine dining upscale restaurant that was quiet but the ambiance was very ordinary. There was regular restaurant noise and people dressed casually. If you are going to advertise your establishment as "good for kids" please consider the way you are talking to families who want to dine here.

I have been here a number of times, both as solely a patron and also as a guest of the hotel…read moreimmediately above the restaurant. I've been with big groups and sat by myself. Been here for both dinner and lunch. All this said, I think my approach to this review is comprehensive. With regard to food, I think they have a decent (not expansive) selection of food, which I think lends itself to quality. They do most things really well. This said, I do think there is inconsistency based on staff at the restaurant. On one occasion they have accommodated a request, and on another I was denied the exact same request. I found this frustrating. On one occasion I've also seen management talk down to staff here, which is a big no no for me. All people (especially staff) are due respect and this rubbed me the wrong way. This was an isolated incident but it definitely made my dining experience uncomfortable. Especially because I was getting excellent service from the server!!! I've always had quality service from servers here. In the future, I would come to Rhett for convenience as a hotel guest (the hotel is lovely), but would likely not spend my money if I wasn't staying at the hotel. Overall- it's good food, decent ambiance... but there are soooo many good options in Savannah. You have to be exceptional to stand out in that city.

If in Savannah, everyone should go to Vic's…read more As part of my usual routine when traveling solo, I sat at the bar. I ordered a brown ale from a local brewery. It was good. I asked Katie the bartender about her martini making skills. She killed it to my specs. I then ordered the blackened medallions and shrimp over linguini. My only complaint is it could have had a more blackened, spicy flavor. However the sauce was similar to a light stroganoff and was very tasty!! And they gave biscuits to snack on!! I saved one for the left over sauce. Atmosphere-5 Food -5 Service-5 (Sorry Katie, that's as high as I can go) Katie was great--attentive without being annoying!! And she's nice!! And she recommended a great wine pairing!! Piano player is a classy touch!!

We celebrated a friend's birthday over dinner at Vic's on the River, and despite a little mix-up at…read morethe start, it turned into a wonderful evening. I accidentally made reservations for Vic's River Grill instead of Vic's on the River (completely my mistake!). Thankfully, Renee, the hostess, was incredibly kind and accommodating. She quickly helped get our group seated in the correct restaurant, and I really appreciated how gracious she was. Our server, Marissa, was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. I can never pass up fried green tomatoes, and these were a great way to start the meal. I also ordered the she-crab soup, which was rich, creamy, and full of flavor...definitely one of the highlights of dinner. For my entree, I chose the fried red snapper with collard greens and Parmesan risotto. The snapper was just okay, and while the collard greens were good, the risotto was unfortunately overcooked and had a mushy texture. Although my entree didn't quite wow me, the outstanding hospitality from Renee and Marissa, the charming historic atmosphere, and the beautiful views along the river made it a memorable birthday dinner. I'd happily return for the she-crab soup, fried green tomatoes, and the exceptional service.
