    We have been to B. Matthew's more times than I can count, always for brunch, and it has been consistently fantastic. One of those places you recommend without thinking. So naturally, we decided to try it for dinner. This is where the phrase "stay in your lane" gently taps you on the shoulder. We started with the crab cakes, which arrived with confidence and left with regret. These were aggressively fishy and had the texture of a breakfast pancake that had dreams of being seafood. Not lump crab. Not delicate. Just... ocean forward. Neither of us liked them, and we tried. We really tried. Next up, the biscuits. At brunch, these things have charisma. At dinner, they were just... present. They took the edge off my hunger, which I appreciate on a human level, but the flavor was missing. The butter and jam also showed up emotionally unprepared. No sparkle. No joy. No brunch magic. At that point, we did what adults do when they realize the evening is not going to turn around. We paid the check, cut our losses, and went somewhere else for the main course. This is not a bad restaurant. This is a great brunch restaurant having an off night at dinner. I will absolutely be back. Just earlier in the day, with coffee, and with my expectations firmly seated where they belong.

    Banana Espresso Martini

    The food at this restaurant is fabulous. The menu is very creative and everything that our table ordered was sooooo yummy. I had a banana espresso martini and a crab cake/ fried green tomato Benedict. The restaurant is located in a historical building and has been restored very well. If you can- make a reservation. We waited a good 35 minutes for a table for 4 on a Monday morning. The service was mediocre and we waited a very long time for the food to come out.

    Ship and grits

    Absolutely fantastic meal! Fried green tomatoes were unique and tasty. Shrimp and grits equally good

    Crab cakes Benny

    I haven't had a bad meal in Savannah and B. Matthew's didn't dissapoint. Tregg was our server and his suggestion of the fried green tomato crab cake Benny was on point. We sat outside because it was an hour wait but sitting under the live oaks and watching the world go by was great.

    We had a reservation and were seated within five minutes, which was great. I really loved the atmosphere and overall vibe of the restaurant, and the food was excellent. My only complaint was when I ordered a Coke, it came in a glass with a dried lipstick ring AND a crack down the side of the glass. I pointed it out to the waiter, and he replaced it quickly, but there was no apology or acknowledgment of the issue. That part was a bit disappointing, but everything else was very enjoyable.

    Met some friends for dinner while in Savannah. Was very pleased with all aspects of this restaurant. The food was fresh, nicely presented and at proper temperature. Our server was knowledgeable and attentive to our groups needs. The ambience was warm & friendly. I would recommend checking out this establishment as I believe you'll have a great experience!

    Long overdue review. I took my son here pre-Covid when I was on a work trip. Savannah has a lot of unique dining options in older commercial buildings that have been converted into cafes, hotels, restaurants and shops. I loved the aesthetics here. As for the food, we did breakfast, and it was a nice twist. Simple but decent! We have not been back to this spot since the 2019 stop, so apologize in advance for the old menu post.

    Chef Will's Blueberry Orange biscuits are to die for, will be coming back for these strictly!

    10/10 will be coming back for Chef Will's Blueberry Orange biscuits, great first experience

    Local review! There are so many good restaurants in Savannah, but every time I eat at B. Matthews I wonder why I don't dine here more often! I took my mom here for brunch on a Friday afternoon. They have a few tables outside so we went with that option. I had the omelette and potatoes. It was good! I ordered toast as well, which was super thick and yummy. My mom had the fried green tomato & crab cake benny-- now that's a photogenic dish! I instantly had to put a picture on instagram, ha! She said it tasted just as amazing as it looked.

    This was our first time here and the restaurant is super laid back and very well organized. The staff are super friendly, our waiter also gave amazing service and gave us some great advice on what to eat. The food was delicious served hot and seasoned to perfection. We will definitely be back.

    Phenomenal! Best bacon and French toast ever. The chicken biscuit = delish!! Highly recommend

    Veggie Scramble
    Lauren S.

    Enjoyed my brunch experience here! The food was very fresh and the portion was perfect. I did ask for a substitute (fruit instead of potatoes) and unfortunately it didn't come out that way so I needed to wait for them to remake it. That aside, I would recommend this as a spot to try if you're looking for something with healthier options as well.

    Are there any non-pork substitutes for red-eye gravy/Tasso ham for the shrimp & grits entree?

    Yes! We have a fabulous mushroom gravy that’s great with our shrimp & grits or biscuits & gravy.

    Do they take brunch reservations?

    Yes , we reserved a brunch party there for a bachelorette trip

    I see a lot of reviews for breakfast but how is it for dinner? menu item recommendations?

The first time I visited was near Christmas and it was freezing outside, but they had a burning fireplace and the cutest little enclosed glass houses you could sit in to enjoy your drinks. During my recent visit, we had our 1 yr old son with us and decided to have dinner there and enjoy the weather. I had the Valencian Spritz (reposado, orange aperitif wine, fresh orange, white pepper, and cava) which was the perfect summer drink. My husband had the Soft Light mocktail (zero proof gin, papaya, kefir, and saline). For food, we started with the Labneh dip topped with olive oil, za'atar, and honey with fresh pitas on the side. Wow, this has got to be the best pita I've ever had. They were so fluffy, warm, and well seasoned. We even got a second order. The labneh dip was phenomenal -- highly recommend for an appetizer or just a snack. We also shared to the falafel bites and the Alida Burger which was very tasty! We'll definitely be back for another visit the next time we're in Savannah!

Beautiful glass, marble, deep colors of navy, mauve, and gold. Service was wonderful, felt welcomed immediately. For my appetizer, I had the crab cake with homemade tartar sauce, which was a light, bright way to start the evening. For my entree, I had the filet mignon. The server will tell you, the menu says tapas, but the servings are larger than that. Meat portions are generous at 6 oz. My only complaint is that I ordered my steak medium and got closer to well done. At least the steak was still moist and not dried out, but I would be hesitant to do the steak again. The spinach risotto I had with it was creamy and cheesy, however, so that was nice. Other options for food include burrata, a charcuterie board, grilled shrimp, sea bass, salmon, scallops. The cocktails are the real star here. They fall under the categories "strong and adventurous," light fare," and "signature." Non-alcoholic cocktails are also available. I started with the medusa 1597, under "strong and adventurous." Made with Old Tom Gin, extra dry vermouth, truffle, grapefruit, and amaro, it was extremely strong. A bold, slow sipper I would have done better to have later in the evening, but I still appreciate the complexity of it. I also had the Bella primavera, a lighter cocktail under the signature section. Made with pisco, blanc vermouth, French herbal liqueur, watermelon, and basil leaf. A smoother, brighter, faster sip than the Medusa. And I also had the blood orange martini, made with French vodka, blood orange, lime, and cranberry. A little sweet, but not cloying, and again, would have been a better starter as opposed to a closer. I think when I return, I will ask the bartender to make me off the menu drinks. This place seems creative enough that the outcome would be fantastic. I loved this place. The vibe, the view, the service, the offerings. Can't wait to see what more they have in store.

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.
