This is a must to stop at. Ask for Lu, as she is the best server we have had. Her knowledge of the menu is impressive. But only second to her quick whit. We enjoy the Shrimp n Grits, steak n Shrimp, beef filet, and stuff Shrimp. These were fantastic and proportionally just. Old town charm and delicious food. Hats off to the Chef. read more

Great service from the time you walked through the door. Very limit menu, so I hope you don't dislike to much of any kind of food. I'm not a foodie, but my girlfriend is so she can eat anywhere. Because there will be something on the menu for her, me on the other hand am not a foodie. I like simple food such as burgers, chicken or fries etc. but tonight I had the lamb chops which I do like, just not a fan of ordering them. But I did this day. They where great, but one thing. They wasn't cooked to my liking, but I ate them because they was actually good. So short story, every time we gave the waitress our order she literally mixed it up between the two of us. I'm a well done type of guy, don't judge me, and my girlfriend is a medium well type of girl. My lamb chops was med well and her steak was well done. I ordered the chocolate pecan pie for my birthday, my girl ordered the key lime. The waitress put the candle In the key lime pie..lol. But overall the service was great and people was friendly. I even gave it five stars regardless of the food mix up. Only thing is the menu is very limited. But great food. read more

First time customers. Saturday supper was delicious. Busy night on Valentine's Day weekend. We didn't have a reservation, but were seated in less than 20 minutes. The she crab soup was delicious. The fried shrimp entree with a baked potato and the shrimp and grits entree did not disappoint. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. Would definitely eat here again. read more

Love the atmosphere (pub like) and location. The food was top notch. Everyone at our table loved their meal. Service was On time and friendly. It is obvious the meals are prepared by a Chef. Will return and strongly recommend. read more

We were struggling to find somewhere for a light dinner after having a big lunch and ended up here. All we had was soup and salad but both were delicious. My dad declared the black eye-pea and ham soup "maybe the best soup I have ever had" and my she-crab soup was excellent also. The salad was fresh and flavorful. Even though we had a small ticket the staff was friendly and the service prompt. Great experience all around. read more

with so many restaurants to choose from i would not choose this place. old world dark and dated interior. she crab soup was very bland. wait staff attentive. read more

They squeezed us in at the bar on Valentines Day! The bartenders were charming,gracious, professional and accommodating!! The food was extraordinarily delicious-- really great oysters rock and the best steak we've had in years! Great drinks, too! read more

Found this quaint little place. Nothing fancy more like a local tavern but the food was good. Some things were better than the others. The burger was well cooked, the oysters were good, the steak was average, because it didn't match the price tag, the lamb chops were really good. The fries were out of a bag which felt out of place considering it should be a pub staple. The deserts were decent but nothing to write home about, the Savannah triffle was okay, the pecan pie was sweet as expected and the chocolate torte was a bit on the bitter side. On the upside the wait staff and host were really good! read more

Went for my sisters birthday! Service was great, food was good, and ambiance was fun! Very pub and cool

Made a reservation here via Open Table. Was in search of a place open fairly late to accommodate my fasting schedule due it currently being Ramadan. Additionally, was looking for nice, but casual place to take our 15 month son who sometimes can get noisy. This place was perfect in terms of the atmosphere and service we were looking for. Very big with plenty of seating. The food however was just OK. My tilapia with lemon caper sauce was a disappointment. It was battered and fried with very little sauce, which I wasn't expecting. It tasted more like a $12 entree instead of a $22 entree. The fried green tomatoes however were excellent! I'd return, but would order something else. read more

I haven't had a meal this good in a very long time. I had the Shrimp Primavera and it came to me hot and fresh. There was ample amount of shrimp and they were cooked absolutely perfect with a delicious flavor. The Vegetables were cooked perfect and not over done, the sauce was wonderful and flavorful. The salad was mixed greens and often times when I get a salad like this the greens are getting old but this was fresh, the dressing was very tasty. Hats off to the chef, excellent job. I will be singing your praises all the way home to California. Thank you for a great experience. read more

What a great little gem it's been here since 1959. Cute interior, good service and great food even though it was just a hamburger and chicken salad they make it amazing. read more

This was by far our best dining experience during our visit to Savannah (other places we went included Vic's, Collins Quarter and AJ's). The shrimp and grits were outstanding, as was the bourbon chocolate pecan pie paired with a tawny port. My husband ordered the stuffed shrimp with angel hair that was great as well. Our waitress was wonderful as well. The building has a great ambience with exposed brick and I think was built in the 1700's. We went for our anniversary dinner...it was a louder, fun atmosphere and would also feel comfortable taking our kids here if we came back to Savannah. Highly recommend this place! read more

After walking all over town and exploring, we were ready for something good to eat. We walked up and down River Street, and places were either too crowded or just gave us a bad vibe. We turned the corner and found Boars Head and we were promptly seated. We found the menu to have a good variety of local favorites. We settled on the fried shrimp and blacked fish sandwich, with a local microbrew from Bay St, not far away (our server's recommendation). Food was EXCELLENT. Service EXCELLENT. We were more than satisfied with our choices we made. As an aside, our server gave us a lot of background of the restaurant and stories around the annual hurricanes. We learned a lot about the building and the original architecture. This all enhanced our experience in visiting Savannah for the first time (we are from Charlotte). Thanks for the history lesson Nate! Overall, a great experience and we would definitely be back!! read more

Omg what a special treat. Boars Head is off the beaten path, but don't let the location or name fool you. I visited this restaurant on a Wednesday evening at the beginning of May, and was seated right away. My server, Hayley, was awesome. She gave some great suggestions and was attentive throughout the entire meal. I ordered the Blackeyed Pea & Ham Soup and the Stuffed Shrimp. The soup was good and even though the consistency was thick it wasn't to the point where you would eat it and become stuffed. Now on to my main meal, the stuffed shrimp, omg easily one of the best meals I have had in a while. It was so good. The flavors flowed together, and the lemon butter sauce on the pasta along with the cooked asparagus was delicious. The prices weren't bad either. If I'm ever in Savannah I will most definitely be coming back to Boars Head. read more

Very frustrated. First visit to Savannah and was looking forward to trying this place. I made a reservation for my party at 11:00 and it was accepted. We arrived at the restaurant about 20 mins early and just waited. A hostess came out and was setting up signs. At 11:00, we go to the door only to be stopped by this same hostess to tell us the restaurant didn't open until 12:00 Come again? We had a reservation at 11Well she apparently "couldn't help us" and promptly slammed the door. Wow. - update - i was just contacted by management and it turns out it was a error through open table that allowed us to book outside of opening hours. She was very gracious . read more

Best dinner I had while visiting Savannah. I am allergic to seafood and shellfish so that plays a role with dining in a heavy seafood area. We had reservations, though not needed. Brian was a great server and explained all. I had Savannah salad which the blackened chicken was probably the best I've ever had. Guest has salmon dinner which he spoke highly of with peach bbq sauce and grits. Desserts looks good, but we did not order. I would return again! read more

We went here for drinks and apps before our Ghost and Graveyards tour. Drinks were great and the crab cakes were delicious! Service was great- for being a small-ticket table, our server was super nice and didn't rush us out the door. Atmosphere was perfect, right along the water. read more

10/10 would eat here again !!! Hotdog and burger were amazing! Amazing server, great views of the Savannah river

Wonderful place overall. Service was very good during a busy lunch rush. My wife had the warm chicken salad sandwich on a croissant. Very good! I had the daily special of teriyaki beef kabob with steak fries. Mine was five-star incredible. Beef was melt in your mouth excellent with a perfect teriyaki taste that was not overwhelming. I am not big fan of steak fries, but these had the peel-on that was crunchy with the potato nice and crisp! Outstanding! Waitress was very attentive with the interior of the restaurant very interesting. Could even watch the ships go by on the River. read more

My boss recommended Boars Head and it did not disappoint. Our server Haley was awesome. She took great care of us! The She Crab soup is outstanding. You must get a cup before the meal. I highly recommend the Shrimp with grits. One of the best meals I have had in a long time. Our daughter ordered the stuffed tilapia with garlic mash potatoes and left the plate clean. We will absolutely be back to try the lamb chops! read more

Arrived a little earlier then our reservation time and we were seated right away. The space is definitely old tavern feel. Felt cozy and smelled delicious. We ordered the chicken alfredo, chicken piccata and shrimp cocktail. The cocktail sauce for the shrimp had a kick to it and was delicious. The pasta dishes were excellent. The pasta was cooked al dente and properly seasoned. The service was spot on. The bread that came out before our meals was also great! I surveyed our table and they all agreed they would come back and order the same thing. That is a rave review from the teenagers I had with me! Cant wait to come back! read more

we were with a large group. service started out great. as soon as our food came that was the last we saw of our waitress. two people got the ribeye. they could not cut thru it. I ordered a medium rare hamburger and it was burnt, the cheese was totally crispy. it was $2 extra &cooked to a hockey puck. the waitress never returned to ask if we needed anything else or if our meal was good. worse meal I ate in Savannah. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. there are a lot of other places to eat. read more

We have been coming to Savannah for years and love it's food scene. This was our first time here but it won't be our last. Parents and kids alike loved their meals including the best shrimp and grits we have had in some time. read more

How often do you get a dozen medium sized shrimp in an order of Shrimp and Grits? ...and after finishing your meal, wish you could hold more? This is the real deal low country S&G, not that cityfied version. Then there's the classic cheeseburger with battered fries and "Meaghan the Great" (waitressing is her super power). Don't hesitate to come into Boar's Head - if you're hungry! read more

Savannah doing a great job in the kitchen!! Restaurants have been excellent. Today I was in the mood for a good burger and was not disappointed. I had their special, burger with bacon, tomato, onion, lettuce and a delicious peach barbeque sauce! I had fries with it and I had a coupon that was in one of the tour books for a free glass of house wine, which was very good! Great lunch over looking the river. read more

The atmosphere was ok. We were a party of six. Initially our server was attentive but after delivering drinks she faded out. I tried to get her attention for additional dressing for my salad and let's just say that didn't happen. She did spend a good bit of time at other tables though. The food was ok but not quite star quality. My entire party started noticing that our server was everyplace but where we needed her. Only one person in my party had positive comments about their meal and that was on the pork chop. The Oster Rockefeller fell short and was missing a few components for a good taste. The shrimp and grits was different. The grits were almost of a pasty consistency and the gravy was almost sweet and had a bit to much dairy. Trying to be fair on this but the overall consensus was we will not be back. read more

We stopped here after the wait times for Sunday lunch were over an hour at other restaurants. We were immediately seated and greeted by our server, Tyler. He was very friendly, offering us waters and drink suggestions. We ordered our meals and were brought fresh hot rolls. Tyler was very attentive, checking on us several times before our food was brought out. The food was outstanding. We ordered a few of the specials for St. Patrick's day, as well as a few recommendations from the lunch menu. The specials were delicious, but the regular menu items were delicious too! Our favorites were the grits. These were BY FAR the best grits we've ever had! Creamy and cheesy but not overbearing. We would come back for the grits alone! The only negative thing I have to say is that the menu was seafood heavy, which I wasn't expecting but we were still able to get some non-seafood items. We did have one member of our party order the catch of the day, fried tilapia with a creamy lemon butter sauce and grits, which was outstanding as well. A very pleasant experience, thank you!! read more

The host was very friendly. He seated us at a beautiful table overlooking the river so we could watch the boats go by. Donna was our waitress. She was very friendly. Hubby and I both ordered the ribeye which was cooked perfectly. He had a wedge salad and I had the house salad. Both were wonderful. Peach sangria was good. Definitely recommend this place!!! read more

Came in for lunch, no line-no waiting as the place is pretty large inside. The waiter was very nice and attentive. We got the kids hotdog, blackened fish sandwich (it was so spicy) and a cheese burger. read more

Loved this place for the historic qualities and the location to the river. We had a table with a window out to the river and could see the island and boats going by. I had the spinach salad with grilled chicken and my husband got the grilled scampi. Both were done very well and seasoned correctly. The bread was yummy as well. The kitchen was open and it was fun to see them cooking our food. read more

My wife and I arrived in Savannah on a Thursday and this was our first dinner out. I had a 7 p.m. reservation. The tavern has a great location, on the corner of one of the city's historic riverfront buildings. We were welcomed and promptly seated at a table with a window view. The lighting was fairly dark, and the bricks on the walls in our corner had seen many, many years, including a fire decades back. We ordered the fried green tomato appetizer, and that was our first good decision. Adorned with goat cheese crumbles and a small amount of balsamic glaze, these tomatoes were not the least bit greasy--yet were perfectly breaded, piping hot inside, and (most importantly) absolutely delicious. For her entrée, my wife had the Spinach and Chicken Mediterranean, which she really enjoyed. It was light but filling, fresh, and the dressing was perfect for the pecans, gorgonzola cheese, and other ingredients. Second good decision. I had the Local T-bone Pork Chop, with fresh peach chutney on top and a sweet potato mash as its wingman. As a t-bone, the chop made me work to get to the meat of the matter, but it was well worth it. The chutney was a nice complement, and the sweet potato mash also went well with the pork. Third good decision. Some restaurants give you too little food; others give you too much. Boar's Head gave just the right amount. This was most fortunate, because it left *just* enough room in our stomachs for dessert. The creme brulée was not only scrumptious; it was also large enough for two people (at least two people who love each other) to share. Fourth and final good decision. The dinner was pricey, but so is virtually every good dinner in Savannah. This food was worth it. The service was friendly, knowledgeable, and just the right level of present. A manager also visited our table to make sure that we were enjoying our experience. Boar's Head is a good place to go for a nice, somewhat expensive dinner, but it's also a good place to get a big burger and chill with friends. There was a large wedding party in the next room, while next to us a family of four with two small children was having a regular dinner out. There you go. read more

Visited here tonight for the first time on vacation with family. Even with limited capacity and staff thanks to the Covid mess everything was absolutely terrific! The oysters Rockefeller and BBQ shrimp starters... excellent! The prime rib... superb! The key lime pie... among the best we've had. Joe our server did an amazing job and everyone was incredibly friendly. Couldn't ask for a better experience. We will definitely be back on future visits to Savannah. read more

I am glad we ate here for our last night in Savannah. It was not super crowded since it was Sunday evening. We went at 5:30 p.m. The service was very good. I had oysters Rockefeller and fried green tomatos. Both were good. Others in my party had shrimp bisque, a burger and stuffed shrimp. Everyone enjoyed their meal. The theme of the restaurant is an old style tavern. It is very casual. The bar is at he front as you enter and seating is in the rear of the space. Overall, it was clean and appeared to follow covid guidelines. read more

I had the best meal of my life here. The restaurant is cozy, with beautiful views of the river. The prices are reasonable and it doesn't have the hipster pretentiousness of a lot of the bars and restaurants in the area. It's just a great, casual atmosphere. Get the low country shrimp and grits. It's so good it should be illegal. I don't even like grits and I was full halfway through, but I ate the whole dang thing anyway. Also, we shared the chocolate bread pudding, which was the best dessert we had the whole weekend, including a certain sexually-suggestive dessert restaurant that is twice the price of this place. I'm going to book a whole trip around the shrimp and grits next time so I can eat it every day I'm here. read more

Awesome restaurant on River Street in downtown Savannah Georgia. We had asked for recommendations on a good southern restaurant and a few people mentioned this place. We were not disappointed. Our party of 5 ordered a few apps and a variety of entrees. The bbq shrimp and crab cake apps were our apps and I really enjoyed the shrimp, however the portion was small (5 for $11). For my entree I ordered a seafood dish (can't recall the name but look at my pictures) that was delicious. It came w shrimp, 3 kinds of fish (salmon, tilapia and I think swordfish) and clams in a pesto garlic butter sauce with rice pilaf. Wow it was good! For desert we had cheesecake and truffle. Both above average. Recommend read more
