Found this place on Yelp since our other dinner reservation burnt down, literally #RIPpinkhouse. It took us a little while to find the place as our Uber driver didn't want to drive down the cobblestone road . We made a reservation ahead of time and let them know we were running 5 min late due to the Uber issues, but once we found it we still had to wait for a table to clear up. I guess the wait was worth it since we did get a window seat overlooking the river. Our waitress was really nice and answered a lot of questions. Now, here's my honest opinion, even though some would say I am being overly picky.The atmosphere of the restaurant is perfect, knowing the history and the area of the building. The food was also really good. I ordered the steak and it was cooked perfectly. Where I have the problem is their level of presentation. Bowls of soup had paper lace doilies my grandmother would use. When asked for a side of ketchup or mayo, it's served in plastic portion cups. The bread bowl is a cheap wire basket, with yet another doilie in it. It looks cheap, like real cheap. I feel like a paid too much for my meal at the end of it all based on the presentation alone. Again, the food and service were amazing but I did leave with this strange feeling at the end of it all. read more

Don't skip this place. The food was amazing and the service was fantastic. My husband asked the server what they were known for and they said their grits and shrimp and their burgers. My husband made a comment about not wanting grits and the server asked if we ever tried them and immediately brought us a sample. They were amazing and my husband ordered the shrimp and grits and I ordered the burger. Everything was very good, my husband and I both devoured our meals. The inside is beautiful with all of the exposed brick. It was originally built in 1780 according to the service. We will definitely be back next time we visit Savannah. read more

Visited this place this evening. Started out with fried Green Tomatoes. They were delicious with a Greek touch with the balsamic and feta cheese. I had the stuffed shrimp which was also delicious. Ended with a cream brûlée that rocked my world. The staff was real friendly and helpful. Couldn't ask for more. read more

Good food and great service. Nice atmosphere. Hubby loved the warm chicken salad sandwich.

Since the tavern was established the year I was born I figured we'd give it a try. Even though it was a Saturday night we walked in and were seated. The service was great and the food wonderful. The shrimp and grits are soooo tasty and not spicy so I could enjoy it. Will be back. 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

Amazing meal! One of my favorites the shrimp and grits were outstanding. My first time trying them and I'm hooked I would eat them every week. We went two nights the first evening we sat at the bar for drinks and service was outstanding. We had reservation for the next evening for my wife's birthday we couldn't wait. We confirmed reservation and a window seat. Upon arrival there was no window seat available and we were put in the middle of the room. Our server was not very good kept waiting for him to come back for everything and never did anything for my wife's birthday. The food definitely made up for the service. read more

Went here on a whim; it was close to where I was staying. The food was subpar. I ordered the she-crab soup, but I got a blob of thicker than chowder soup. The waiter politely explained that this is not how it's supposed to be. He took it back and got me a new one. It was the same one, though-I'm sure of it; It was just heated up to liquify it. It was scalding hot when brought back. Then my grilled bacon wrapped shrimp came out less than room temperature, overly sweet, and the bacon was slimy; I guess the fat wasn't actually cooked-yuck! Finally, I got my salad, which was way over dressed. All in all, very bad food experience. I did give two stars because if the food was cooked right, it would have been good because the flavor was there. Also, the waiter was kind enough to take both the soup and shrimp off my check even though I said I'd pay for it. Won't be coming back though. read more

We wandered in for a quick dinner. It is casual dining in an 18th century restored cotton warehouse. We were seated immediately and split a very juicy cheeseburger and each had a salad. That was plenty for both of us and we left feeling full. Wait staff was attentive and there was not a long wait for our food. We were quite happy with the experience. read more

We went to Boar's Head for a late-ish dinner with average expectations, but we ended up being really pleasantly surprised. Inside is a nice date night environment, but several families were there, too. The bf had the special bottled beer - a 22 oz. Fat Tire for $7 - and I went with a German Riesling at $6.50/glass. For an appetizer, we had oysters rockefeller. I'm a big fan of these if they're done right, and these were tasty. A platter of six is served baked and topped with a mix of spinach, breadcrumbs, and hollandaise with half of lemon and a few mixed greens in the center. For entrees, I had one of the specials: local mahi served over angel hair with a lemon caper butter sauce and mushrooms. Pretty simple, but I find these dishes are often the best. The fish was cooked well and was practically falling apart being so moist and flaky. The bf had one of their regular menu items - stuffed shrimp, also served over angel hair. He enjoyed them, but I they had an aftertaste that didn't appeal to me when I tried them. The shrimp were a nice size, though. It seems as though many of their dishes are served over pasta, but the server informed me that rice or a vegetable could be substituted. Speaking of service, we found it to be pretty great. The only drawback occurred when our server spent a little longer than she should have regaling another couple at another table with all of Savannah's (other) great restaurants when she hadn't even taken our order yet. If we were sitting and eating satisfactorily already, that would have been a little more appropriate. Otherwise, our server was very friendly and accommodating. We wanted dessert, but wanted to take it back to our hotel to eat later. When we asked if we could have the chocolate bread pudding to go, our server asked if we'd be able to reheat the dish so that she could put the creme anglaise and chocolate sauce on the side. She even included the sliced strawberry garnish in our box. Our entire meal - two drinks, an appetizer, two entrees, and dessert WITH tip - was less than $100. You can't eat like that (and truly enjoy your food) in DC. If you can, tell me where! Overall - a really nice meal on River Street, known more for St. Patty's Day antics than genuinely good food. read more

While walking around downtown, hungry, we happened upon the Boar's Head Grill & Tavern, and we decided to drop in because it sounded good. We arrived around 2pm, with kind of a large party, but we were still seated right away, so it seemed like the ideal time for lunch. The ambiance is definitely of the tavern-y variety, with exposed wooden beams and stone walls. Rustic, if you will. I would best describe the food as Traditional American, in that it has burgers, seafood, and sandwiches (at least at lunch). What is interesting about this place is that it's housed in a restored cotton warehouse that was built in the 1800s, and coming from someone who loves old shit, I found this information to be a delightful nugget. I opted on the "special" burger at the time, which ended up being a chicken burger with some sort of peach BBQ sauce on it, and I remembered thinking it was an odd combination, but somehow it still worked. And this is coming from someone who isn't a BBQ sauce fan, but I still ended up enjoying it. It came with fries that can best be described as close to Checkers fries, but straight instead of curly. The food is also priced very well for being in the middle of a tourist-y city, and the quality is actually better than the price, I think ($10-15 for lunch). It does sound like their seafood is a specialty, so maybe next time we come by, I'll have to it. read more

We were first time visitors to Savannah and asked the advisor at our hotel for suggestions. He suggested Boars Head and we were NOT disappointed. The food was great the prices were reasonable and our server Jannie H was the very best, she made our visit pleasant and was very personable. We will definitely make another visit to Boars Head when we return to Savannah. P.S. The shrimp and grits were the Bomb Diggity y'all :) read more

Two words: shrimp, grits. I love the dish and can't recall a better version than you'll find at this little mom-n-pop gem on River Street. My only suggestion would be to call it grits & shrimp, for it's the grits that steal the show. Want the secret? Good luck. We begged the chef (Bobby) but he wasn't talking. Almost equally impressive was the seafood bouillabaisse, of which you'll need extra bread to make sure none of the delicious broth goes to waste. Finish it off with crème brulé and some coffee from a local roaster and you've got a great meal. Excellent service, good beer/wine selection, warm atmosphere. Not sure about parking. read more

Boars Head Grill - The Grits & Shrimp. - Seafood Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

The burger and fries were not bad and they had a decent selection of draft beers. The cheese wasn't completely melted on the burger however. Their credit card machines were down during my visit which was super frustrating; however they did give me a free beer to go in exchange for being able to write down my credit card information (though I felt really unsure about that but I had no cash). It's an average place on an expensive row of restaurants. You have much better options then to eat here; however they were less expensive then many of the other places. read more

We really enjoyed our dinner here. Our server Chris was quick and attentive, and the food was amazing. The Barbecued Shrimp is highly recommended, the burger was delicious, and the key lime pie and white chocolate cheesecake was the perfect end cap to a great meal. read more

What a surprise find! I savored the grilled chicken salad, and my date had the delicious mahi mahi with roumalade sauce. The service was excellent, and the drinks were a good pour, which seems to be a rarity these days. read more

We stopped in here for a drink and wasn't expecting much but was pleasantly surprised! The food was pretty good. I ordered the Salmon with Grits and at first I thought the sauce would be too much but was really good. And you can't go wrong with cheesy grits! My friend ordered the Steak and said it was good too. I would definitely return if I visited Savannah again especially for some drinks. I liked the "den" style decor and the bar was fun and energetic. read more

Loved this place. Felt as if I was walking into a 16th century Bar. It's very dark and dim with amazing decor. The feeling is 16th century American. Savannah Portside and Downtown is one of the greatest areas you can be in the USA for an authentic Southern American Historical feel. This bar was amazing. The Food was great. The Beer selection was good. And the wench was hot and nice with good service. :) I generally don't like bars. But I loved this place. Have to go back ASIC and get drunk. Great place! read more

I was solo for a night in Savannah and wanted something with local food that was within walking distance and the Boar's Head was just what I was looking for. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable and the bartender (whose name I regret to have forgotten) made a perfect dirty, and I mean DIRTY, martini. I had the She Crab Soup as an appetizer and the Blackened Shrimp and Grits as my entree and both were delicious. I have already recommended Boar's Head to several friends and they've come back with their own rave reviews! read more

Dropped in for dinner on Wednesday night. No wait and was seated right away. The building is old and is lovely - original bricks and wood flooring really help you to feel the history of the building. The service is excellent as well. Our waiter was knowledgeable and helpful. My husband ordered the shrimp and grits and he STILL hasn't stopped talking about this meal. He LOVED it. He said it was one of the top free meals he's ever had! I had the bouillabaisse and it was very good. We recommend trying this place for both the excellent good and cool vibes. read more

3 stars for the historic building and good service. This was our second (last) visit and the food is barely a 2. The oysters Rockefeller had a good flavor but were tiny. That's where good flavor stopped. Everything down to the bread is very generic. The chicken Marsala was boiled chicken. The salmon and cheese grits weren't edible. Gorton's salmon from the grocery store is seriously better. The wine prices were ridiculously high. Don't waste your money. read more

Amazing service, food was incredible. Great place to come when traveling, would 100% come back if we visit again. Highly recommend the chicken salad and grilled chicken blt. read more

Wow, I cannot say enough good things about this place. Fabulous service who gave us plenty of time to relax and enjoy the view of the river while ensuring great service. The food is so delicious I was shocked it was only rated 4 stars. I had the swordfish special while my boyfriend had the Cajun shrimp and grits. Both dishes completely wowed us with each and every bite filled with bursts of flavor. I HIGHLY recommend Boars Head Grill and Tavern to anyone visiting Savannah!!! read more

Our waiter was fantastic. Kudos on service. Food was good but a little lacking in flavor. We ordered crabcake and cocktail shrimp as our apps, Caesar salads, stuffed shrimp and pasta and the ribeye. Stuffed shrimp had an odd taste and the the ribeye, ordered medium, was over cooked and tough in center. We were so hungry we didn't make a fuss. The vibe in the restaurant was great, everyone was having fun and again the service as awesome! read more

Had a lovely dinner here the other night. Place has a nice vibe, tasty food, and pleasant music. The staff, including my server Austin were very welcoming and prompt in service. I started with the spinach salad which was on point. Next, I had the shrimp and grits. I quite enjoyed it, though it was a tad on the salty side. The pecan chocolate pie is really yummy and goes great with a cup of black coffee. Overall, I had a lovely evening and will definitely return. read more

Simply put, this place is amazing. Locally owned restaurant on the river that has a great menu with a lot of options that are all prepared fresh. Let me start by saying we are from the north. We don't necessarily have a good gauge on southern food. So when our server told us the shrimp and grits were his favorite thing on the menu, all I could picture was my poor attempt to make grits into something that's even recognizable. But, he swooped off and rushed back with a sample of the grits and all I can say is they are life changing. We both had the she crab soup which was very good. I ordered the shrimp and cheddar grits in a lovely spicy cream sauce with andouille and red peppers. The sauce was exceptional. Not overly spicy, just the right amount to cut some of the richness. My daughter had the crab stuffed shrimp with linguine and asparagus in a lemon butter sauce. Also fantastic. Then dessert. Our server recommended the chocolate bread pudding (award winning btw) and the key lime pie. We ordered both and they were both equally as good. Made from scratch and beautiful in presentation. Our server John was above and beyond great. They are lucky to have him. If we lived here we would eat here weekly to be sure. Don't miss this place. read more

This place is great, has great ambience and the staff was extremely friendly and nice. My wife and I both ordered steaks, they were cooked to perfection and delicious with a side of sautéed mushrooms. Everything tasted excellent including the complementary bread they serve with entrées. I ordered the ribeye , my wife order the fillet mignon... Both were absolutely delicious served with a side of garlic mashed potatoes and peapods which were also delicious. The manager who's name is Will was extremely gracious, nice and attentive. The whole staff was great and I can't overstate the sanitation is perfect!! Going forward anytime I am in Savannah, I am going to be here love this place! read more

We started at the bar and then moved to a table. The whole experience was underwhelming. The food was overpriced and unimaginative. The filet was undersized, served with a plain potato. The pork chop was okay but nothing special. Service at both the bar and table also nothing notable. read more

We are here for a volleyball tournament. We were excited about taking the ferry even though it was later, 9:00. We came across this delicious gem with zero plan in mind. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was excellent, the server was excellent. Highly recommend the black eyed pea soup and the key lime pie!!! Hot and flavorful on a cold dreary evening, then tangy and satisfying to finish off the meal. Thank you Boars Head for accommodating our party of 8. read more
