    I stopped into Castaways for a Sunday lunch and hands down I was super impressed. I have noticed this place for years and finally got the chance to check it out. It's a very small spot, with a nice indoor/outdoor setting. It gives beachy vibe, yet in the middle of the city. Everything was so delicious and the drinks were smooth and strong. It was very clean and well kept. All the staff that I encountered was very friendly. I will definitely return! The crab dip and wonton chips were my absolute favorite!

    Rockfish Special
    Katie W.

    Favorite spot in Savannah. Chef Kirk is a master at what he does. His dishes are consistently excellent and I've yet to have anything less than stellar here. My favorite is the Key West Rock Fish special. A flaky filet over asparagus and the most flavorful potatoes you'll ever taste. It's a must try! If you're craving something heartier, the Rasta Pasta is another standout. It's a the perfect bit of spicy and loaded with fresh yummy shrimp. For starters, you can't go wrong with the blue cheese chips if they have them or the tuna tower. Both taste as good as they look. And don't forget the drinks! The pear martini is a personal favorite. It's refreshingly crisp as can be. Whether you're dining in or celebrating a special occasion, this spot never disappoints. Chef Kirk's passion comes through every dish, making it a treasure for locals and visitors!

    Grilled Flounder , extra Veggies

    Maps suggested this place for lunch and it did not disappoint, food is just like pictured and super delicious, the portions are great, the service was amazing and the ambiance was very beachy felt like if you were eating next to the ocean.

    A Delicious seafood restaurant hidden away
    Angelita O.

    We drove an hour to find this hidden treasure. The locals know why it is hiddenthe blackened fish, the salmon and the flounder were cooked to perfection not dry or greasy.my Maui Wowie was delightful. The key lime pie dessert better than key west Danielle gave us excellent service with a smile and made our stay very pleasant.

    Kingston Curried Salmon - Beautifully plated and delicious!

    We stopped by for a late lunch after visiting Wormsloe Historic Site and was pleasantly surprised by the whole experience. The server (Jacob) was friendly and accommodating; there was plenty of shaded outdoor seating and fans; and the food was excellent. We had the Kingston Curried Salmon at the recommendation of the server, as well as the Lemon Cream Salmon. Both were great, the curried salmon was the standout!

    Special for the night, Key West Rockfish with asparagus and mashed potatoes

    Super cute place with a nice outdoor area. The service was friendly and fast. The food was delicious! I had a Rockfish special and the fish was delicious!

    Burger with cheese and sidewinder fries!
    Courtney B.

    We found Castaways from a YouTube search of the best burger in Savannah. After a 5 hour drive from NC, this was our first stop. We sat at the bar because the restaurant was completely empty. We were greeted by two friendly bartenders. We both ordered the burger and according to the YouTube recommendation, my boyfriend was after the house made aioli sauce. We each ordered a drink from the menu, the Maui Wowie for me which I highly recommend. The burgers came out hot and delicious and we loved the giant sidewinder fries!

    Calamari Chimichurri
    Tim P.

    Stopped by here for lunch and had an excellent meal with good service. Restaurant is located in a strip center in the back. Small sign off the front. We were seated right away and had our drinks ordered. We started with the calamari with a delicious aioli and chimichuri sauce over dish. Everyone enjoyed the appetizer. I got the fish and chips. Three nice fish fillets with fries and slaw. A lot of food. My wife got the fried shrimp with yellow rice and slaw. We both shared our dishes. They were perfectly fried. Our server was good. Good lunch experience.

    My wife and I kicked off a trip to eastern Savannah with lunch at Castaways, and it hit the spot…read more We started with the crab cakes. Awesome. Great flavor and a nice way to start the meal. For lunch, we went with the blackened Baja fish tacos based on our waitress's recommendation. Great call. The blackened fish added another layer of flavor, and the coleslaw was excellent--on the tacos or straight off the fork. The vibe was laid back, friendly, and easy. Local artwork on the walls gave the place a nice community feel, the staff was warm and welcoming, and the restrooms were clean--which always earns bonus points. Overall, Castaways is a great stop for a light lunch, good food, and a relaxed coastal atmosphere. Highly recommend.

You can sit inside and have a cute view at the booth ir your can sit outside in a little balcony type. Very surfer aesthetic! Pricing was okay too. We had 3 people and each of us had our own entre along with the 2 appetizer and it came out to be about $36 eqch with tips. I had the salmon blt and it could use a little bit more seasoning but it it was cooked just right! The home made chips were absolutely to die for because it was so delicious! Not salty at all and perfect crisp at every bite! We also got fried tomato and it was topped with I believe, goat cheese and it was so crispy and delicious, I do with it has a bit more seasoning on it but we paired it with the crab dip and it was perfect to the taste!

    I had a very disappointing experience at Jackie Seafood in Garden City, Savannah. I spent over $200…read morepurchasing what I was told would be fresh brim (bluegill). I specifically asked the gentleman at the counter how many fresh fish were available and made it clear multiple times that I only wanted fresh fish, as I was traveling back to Atlanta. He assured me he could provide what I needed. However, after he went to the back to gather additional fish, a significant portion of my order, at least 8 pounds out of approximately 20, turned out to be old and previously frozen. This was not visible to me at the time of purchase, as the fish was brought from the back and packaged without transparency. It felt deceptive, especially given that I clearly communicated my expectations and the purpose of my purchase. I have attached photos for reference, which further demonstrate the quality concerns with the fish I received. As shown in the images, the fish have cloudy eyes, which is a well-known indication that the fish is not fresh. This experience left me feeling taken advantage of, and it has completely eliminated any desire to return. Trust is critical when purchasing food, especially fresh seafood, and this situation fell far short of basic standards. I'm giving this business one star due to the lack of honesty and quality control. I strongly encourage others to inspect their purchases carefully before leaving.

    Sometimes I just want a local fried shrimp (and/or fish) plate with some fries, eat it in my car…read morewhile it's hot, and do so for less than $15. I keep it simple and it hit every time. It's a fish market, so not the type of place to sit and dine. You order by the pound, instruct them to cook it or not, then wait til your number/order is called. For $13, I get half a pound of fried local Georgia shrimp and fries. Can't beat it. Seasoned just enough, fried just right and piping hot. Just miss when their cocktail, tartar, and hot sauce came in the small, clear to-go containers. Now it's just individual packets. The tartar still decent but the cocktail is Kraft.
