    Blackened Grouper sandwich
    Beth C.

    We thoroughly enjoyed the delicious and decadent Surf and Turf burger. It was topped with a beautiful seafood blend of unctuousness that complimented the beef patty. We ordered it medium rare and it was a bit over but was still juicy. We also had the Grouper sandwich prepared blackened. The sandwich was also very good and the fish was cooked to perfection but it needed more seasoning--we added a kick of hot sauce to spice it up a bit. We sat outdoors to enjoy the beautiful view and it was also heated and dog friendly. Service was friendly and attentive.

    Five Stars -- Three Thumbs Up! We spontaneously walked into Broken Keel on New Year's Eve, and honestly, it turned into one of the best restaurant experiences we've ever had. From the moment we walked in, we were seated in rockstar seating right next to the band, which instantly set the tone for an unforgettable night. The live music, the energy, the crowd -- everything was absolutely spot on. Our server Xannah was nothing short of AMAZING. Truly some of the best service we've ever received anywhere. She took care of us all night long, never missed a beat, and treated us like family. Friendly, attentive, fun, and genuinely awesome -- she made the entire experience next-level. The food was great, the atmosphere was electric, and the people were fantastic. We stayed all the way until midnight, ringing in the New Year and watching the fireworks -- it couldn't have been more perfect. If you're anywhere near Savannah, do not miss Broken Keel. Highly recommend -- 5 stars, 3 thumbs up, and we'll absolutely be back!

    Grouper Sandwich, Firecracker Shrimp, House salad

    Great experience! Service did take a little while but the live music helped the time pass. When food arrived it was amazing. I think the grouper could have had a bit more flavor (the provided sauce helped compensate for this), but otherwise there is not much to complain about. The other food items were amazing and our plates were licked clean.

    Side salad (forgot the pic of my cheeseburger!)

    Ate here several times while staying upstairs, and each time we tried something different and really enjoyed everything. My husband really liked the oatmeal for breakfast, as it featured fresh fruit. We both loved the cheeseburgers --cooked to perfection and juicy. Staff were very friendly and very nice; great view of the river if you eat outside. We'd definitely go back!

    A decent cocktail stop with patio seats overlooking the river. We heard the music and went upstairs. Service was a bit awkward as we weren't sure who to flag down for an order as any servers seemed like they were avoiding us instead of finding us a seat and menu etc. We got it worked out. Drinks were satisfying. CritDicks

    First time in Savannah. Staying at River Street Inn. This seafood place is located in the hotel. It definitely achieves the nautical theme with ease. Very pleasant if not a little noisy for my taste. Extremely large portions. The bisque was excellent. Service was decent.

    Garden Omelet

    Came for breakfast and thought everything was just mediocre. The omelette also had a ton of oil -- which wasn't ideal given I ordered it to be on the healthier side. I'd also stay away from the coffee which tasted just like grounds and water had been sitting in a pot for a few days. The food also takes a long time to come out so be prepared to wait a bit. The positive was our server was very nice.

    Frozen strawberry drink and almost ready martini (lol)

    Monday night on river street in historic district Savannah. This great bar is on the Second floor patio overlooking the river. The martini was ginormous and I could only handle one but it was super good. The strawberry frozen margarita was very tasty. Raw oysters were good but tiny, but the Firecracker Shrimp made the night. It was sooo good, you have to try it!! And the servers were so sweet. They were so nice to allow us to bring Lexi along and even brought her water. Really, Savannah is such a dog friendly place, it makes my heart happy. I highly recommend a visit here.

    Surf-'N'-Turf Burger
    Kelly W.

    We had an ok experience at Broken Keel. It started out good and then somehow our order got lost in the kitchen or it was never entered into the system. Our server let us know and we were playing a game so we didn't really notice how long it was taking for our food to come out. Once he told us it still took almost another 30 minutes. During our visit it rained multiple times and the weather started to cool off. We asked for the heaters (above our heads) to be turned on and the manager offered to turn them on and bring us blankets. We waited and waited and had to ask again for this to actually happen. We also asked for something to munch on since our food was taking so long. They brought chips and salsa which was great but in our opinion that should have come as soon as they realized our order was lost. Once our food arrived we enjoyed it but we were so ready to leave and our stay just kept getting drawn out. We had to track down our server to get our check and we got 10% off our bill. We felt like that was pretty measly considering what happened. We ended up being at the restaurant for almost three hours. The atmosphere is great and the food was good but unfortunately our experience wasn't the best. We'll probably skip it next time we're in town.

We came for the early show/dinner and saw Deas Guyz on a Sunday, the music was incredible. I highly recommend seeing them if you can (they play The Jazz Corner every Sunday per the website). Our server was also helpful and great. Shows sell out, so make sure you grab tickets in advance on their website. For dinner, I had the Filet Mignon with Lobster Tail. The steak and lobster were a bit overcooked for my taste, but still tasty. The meal came with mashed potatoes and green beans, both cooked and seasoned perfectly. My mom had the halibut special, and the fish was definitely overcooked as well. For drinks, I had the TJC Hurricane with dinner and the Hershey's Kiss after. Both were probably the best drinks I've had in Hilton Head, strong and delicious. If you like something sweet and chocolatey, the Hershey's Kiss is a must, honestly better than dessert! I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Hilton Head.

The whole place is designed to feel like the inside of a trailer--spray-painted antique chandeliers, old pictures of different trailer parks, and random little details everywhere. It's kitschy, but very intentional, and honestly pretty cool. We came in late after a 4h drive into town after work, and the staff was still super friendly and accommodating. No "we're about to close" energy, which I appreciated. We started with the creamy collard dip, which is basically their take on spinach-artichoke dip, but with collards. Really good. I do think the chips were a little too heavy for the dip--a thinner chip would've been perfect--but that's a small note. The chicken pancake tacos were probably my favorite. The chicken was fried perfectly and still really moist. And at this point, I'm convinced Savannah just knows how to cook chicken. Everywhere we went, the chicken was consistently good. My partner got the grilled apple pie sandwich, which has fried chicken, grilled apples and bacon. He's not even a big pork person, but that bacon was so crispy and the whole combination just worked. Even the waffle fries were good--crispy, fresh and actually seasoned. We had the Grateful Dead and Wicked Kiwi cocktails, plus a couple of shots, and the drinks were strong, good and reasonably priced. Honestly, I don't have a ton of notes here. It's not trying to be some elevated dining experience. It's just a really good late-night spot with good food, strong drinks, friendly service and a fun atmosphere. We sat inside because Savannah in August was not about to have us sitting on anybody's patio. Definitely recommend, especially if you're looking for somewhere to eat late. It was a vibe, the food was good, and it did exactly what it needed to do.
