Smash burger
Jonathan W.

Serenity was a great server. It seemed like she was the only one attentive to the customers. Everyone else was hanging out in the back somewhere. The line had got to 6 people waiting on the host to be seated. The host ran so fast to seat people and place their menu down just to go back to wherever. The bartender spoke when we came in and said good bye. The host looking frustrated leaning on the desk said nothing. The food came out quick and taste good. It seems like the staff wasn't happy to be working and the customers noticed it as different ones commented. The smash burger and fries was very filling. If it wasn't for the lack of good customer service this would be a nice place to bring the family.

Deluxe club sandwich with thin shaved ham, good but could use some thicker toast.

I would classify this restaurant as a comfort food restaurant. That's not to say that's a bad thing, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of food choices that really stand out above and beyond comfort food. I would say it's a safe place to take a family or have a gathering where everybody would be satisfied by what's on the menu. I had the deluxe club sandwich, and while it was good, I didn't care for the fact that the toast slices were very very thin. It made the sandwich difficult to eat because the thinness of the toast was almost difficult to hold the sandwich because it absorbed the moisture in the rest of the food and kind of came apart. The toast between the slices actually was non-existent because again it had absorbed the moisture and come apart. The servers were friendly and at one point the manager came by to ask how everything was which is always appreciated.

Shrimp, scallops and oysters.

Not as advertised. Food was cold. Potatoes not done. Best thing was the onion rings and they were greasy. Service was not good at all.

10/10 - A Must-Stop Every Time I've been coming here ever…read moresince I was little, and it's one of those places that never disappoints. Every time I'm anywhere close, I make it a point to stop, and this trip was no different. I was driving back home to North Carolina and had to make one last stop because it's just that good. The food is always fresh, hot, and packed with flavor. The sandwich was perfectly toasted with fresh ingredients, plenty of parmesan, and an amazing sauce, and the fries were cooked perfectly. Everything tasted just as good as I remembered. Service was a 10/10 and wonderful seating options MUST GO!!!

This place has gone from amazing local food with a South African twist to complete commercialized…read moregarbage. Local Savannah foodie pages have been saying the same thing for years. Even after the 2021 rebrand, it still held on for a while, but something in the last 5 years at the main office has completely lost touch. They expanded to three locations: ; downtown, Tybee, and Hilton Head, and in the process the whole identity fell apart. The menu has been gutted of its originality. The "OG" items are now overpriced, portion sizes have been cut in half, and the original sides that made it special are gone. What used to be a simple, order-and-sit-down experience is now chaotic. You're herded in by an overstaffed but somehow still disorganized team of high-turnover employees with zero consistency and very little emotional intelligence. There are always way too many staff for the number of customers, yet service somehow keeps getting worse. Last night was the final straw. We tried the Tybee location first, waited 30 minutes just to be seated, only to be told they were basically out of everything and could only do drinks. So we drove to downtown. Same exact thing. Out of sausage. When we asked if we could just remove it or substitute it, we didn't get a simple no, we got an "absolutely not," because apparently everything is pre-mixed and nothing can be adjusted. Even worse once we sat down. It took 15 minutes just to be asked for drink orders. A different server came over, introduced himself like we were starting fresh, and then got visibly annoyed when we said we'd already ordered water and a soda. From there it just kept getting more awkward. At one point he bumped my cup while I was literally lifting it to my lips and told me to "watch out" while he was placing food down. He took forever to check us out and finally bring our soda to go, and ended the night by saying, "just so you know I'm faster than the other girl," like we were in the middle of some weird staff competition we didn't sign up for. On the outside it still looks like a fun Savannah staple. But once you sit down, you realize you're no longer a local guest, you're trapped in an overhyped tourist operation that's completely lost what made it good in the first place.
