    Patio

    The food is good and the service helpful. The Ambiance is relaxed. The barbeque is good, something is missing.

    The Butterfly
    Paula R.

    Visiting Savannah for a race. This was where packet pickup was located. I had The Butterfly pork sandwich. The pork was lacking a smoky flavor but the sauce was good. Slaw and house pickles were very good. The service was good but a bit slow considering there were so few customers. We sat out back on the covered patio which was nice. Loved the tall fence around it so you were not looking at the parking lot. Overall a nice lunch.

    No smoke ring, cut with the grain. Hard to tell this is a brisket!

    I am adjusting my review from 2 stars to 4. I haven't been able to come back to the area to revisit this restaurant. While I felt at the tome that 2 stars was justified, looking at the recent pictures of their food, it seems like they are getting it right. Also, the fact that the restaurant manager reached and offered to comp a meal to give them another try means a lot to me. Tells me that this business cares about their quality. Even though i never took them up on their offer, it feels like it's the roght thing to do to revise my review. Hope to be back soon

    It's okay, it's not my personal favorite. The times I've been the meat has been fatty and not so great. The sweet tea is on point tho!

    This wasn't worth the money. The bbq sauces didn't have a good flavor at all. I had a prime rib sandwich and there was more fat than meat.

    We had a fantastic dinner at The Olde Pink House! Vanessa was our waitress, and she was absolutely…read moreawesome--friendly, attentive, and made the entire experience even better. The chicken-fried lobster was excellent. The butter beans and collard greens were outstanding, and the cheddar grits were out of this world! The sweet potato ravioli was also very good. The fish special was good, although it tasted a little fishy for our preference. Dessert was a great finish to the meal. We were able to eat downstairs in the basement, which was such a treat given the history of the building. The atmosphere, food, and service made it a memorable Savannah experience. Definitely a five-star meal!

    What can I say other than the rave reviews are well deserved!…read more The restaurant is a converted mansion, so it has multiple rooms and has a homey feel. It reminds me a bit of the Goblin Market in Mount Dora, only not as busy with the decor. Service is top notch and I believe reservations are required, although I'd HIGHKY recommend reserving in advance either way. We reserved the night prior and only 9pm was available, which is way later than we usually eat. Anyway, we ordered the she crab soup, shrimp and grits, corn bread fried oysters, sweet potato ravioli, and the chef's fried chicken. Our favorite was the Shrimp and grits, but really every bite of every dish was amazing. After the horrendous meal we had earlier at the River House, it was truly a delight to have my already high expectations for Olde Pink House not just met, but blown away! I'd give 10 stars if I could!

The table was…read morecovered with what seemed like every Southern dish imaginable--far more than anyone could reasonably try in one sitting. I managed about ten, and everything was well prepared, generous, and full of flavor. The communal-table atmosphere makes the meal feel less like dining at a restaurant and more like being welcomed into a very large Savannah family dinner. The service was warm and attentive, and the whole experience felt genuine rather than staged for tourists. For anyone visiting Savannah, Mrs. Wilkes is a must. Come hungry.

    Where to begin. There was hype of this restaurant and it lived up to it all!…read moreIt is a beautiful home that is a restaurant along a street with old homes and trees lining and overhanging the road. The hospitality is off the charts. You need to come early at least a half hour as the line quickly grows. You sit and eat family style. The host will assign you to your table with others to fill it up. 8 to a table. There is sweet tea waiting for you and dish after dish of goodness! Then they bring out the fried chicken on platters. 21 different bowls of southern dishes- okra, rutabagas, greens, beans, corn, biscuits and corn bread.... Oh my there was a lot. You will not go hungry as the staff are near each table and bringing refills of items needed. Then when you've had your fill, they bring by peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream on top and/or banana pudding! They take cash or check only. They thankfully had an ATM inside. But the man at the cash register said we could leave and go to our own bank if we wanted and come back to pay!! That wouldn't happen at very many places. Southern hospitality, great food, memories- it is all here. Don't miss this place when you come to Savannah!!

Looking back, we probably should've kept right on walking. We ordered the fried chicken, potato wedges, red rice, New Orleans rice, and cabbage, jalapeno cornbread and pecan cornbread. Unfortunately, the only things we actually enjoyed were the fried chicken and the potato wedges. Once again, it was an epic fail. The cabbage tasted like it had been boiled in plain water with absolutely no seasoning. Both the red rice and the New Orleans rice reminded us of Minute Rice or Uncle Ben's microwavable rice--bland, lacking flavor, and nothing like the rich, seasoned rice dishes we were expecting. The fried chicken was crispy, juicy, and well-seasoned, and the potato wedges were cooked perfectly, but those two items weren't enough to save the meal. We came hoping for authentic Southern comfort food, but left disappointed. Sadly, this is one restaurant we won't be adding to our list of places to revisit.

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.

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 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.
