Staying near Thomas Square, my innkeeper recommended the fried chicken at Cotton & Rye. As fortune would have it, there was a seat at the bar on a busy Saturday night and I counted myself lucky indeed. I was greeted warmly and ordered a Cuba Libre, which was crisp and well-balanced. Though their chicken wings are James Beard award-winning, I opted for their very attractively priced fried chicken dinner. That first bite - with a little dab of ranch dressing - was the best bite of fried chicken I've ever tasted. The dish came with mac&cheese, which was perfection: cavatappi with a rich béchamel sauce and lightly broiled on the top layer, along with crisp pickled cucumbers, a sweet/spicy dipping sauce, and a trio of cornbread donuts. Oh my god! I would happily return to eat here and would frequent it if I was a local. They offer a fantastic menu of regional dishes and the desserts looked to-die-for. On Thursday nights, they offer a burger, fries, and martini for $25. That kind of offer from a popular and well-regarded establishment goes a long way in my book for engendering loyalty. Thank you Cotton & Rye for making this Yankee feel right at home in Savannah.

The first thing I want to mention is the excellent service from the staff at this restaurant. We dined here during our anniversary trip to Savannah. The kindness and helpfulness of all of the staff from the moment we came in until we left was almost worth the experience itself. In a time where good service can be touch and go with dining, this stands out as exceptional for service. Our waiter was on top of taking great care of us the whole time, and brought a nice anniversary cookie to us to celebrate. He even added candy bars to our take home boxes as a special treat. The food was excellent. We almost loved the sides more than anything else that we tried. We shared and highly enjoyed the roasted brussels, broccolini, and cheese grits. The wings had a unique flavor. If you are used to buffalo wings, it's not quite like that taste. It is more of a spicy barbecue mixed with a little bit of Asian influence, but I'd say worth a try. The fried chicken was fresh and enjoyable. I especially appreciated the taste of the Mac and cheese. If you like Mac and cheese, it's very well done and worth a taste. The layout of the restaurant is great. Not a bad table or place anywhere. It can be a little noisy if very busy, but it died down while we were there as some started leaving. Definitely get reservations ahead of time like we did. 5 stars. Thanks for a great evening.

Absolutely OUTSTANDING food and service! Make sure to snag a reservation if you want dinner service. It's a little lively inside as the building is a remodeled old bank and pretty packed in for a smaller space but so worth the experience. This place has been overlooked by Michelin for sure. The menu is seasonal and the website isn't always updated for special menus so you might find yourself choosing what you want upon arrival. We got the Duck breast (which arguably was the least notable on the entire plate, but the cabbage was PHENOMENAL), the seafood crudo (by far the best octopus we've ever had) and the bread pudding (from their onsite pastry chef and which was the perfect ending to our dinner).

Cotton and Rye in Savannah is an absolute triumph and one of those rare places that feels special from the moment you walk in until long after you leave. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming with a sense of care and craft that shows up in every detail from the service to the presentation to the flavors on the plate. This is the kind of restaurant that reminds you why dining out can be such a joyful experience and why Savannah's food scene deserves so much praise. The Brussels sprouts deserve their own standing ovation because they are quite simply the best I have ever had anywhere. Perfectly cooked with incredible depth of flavor they manage to be both comforting and exciting at the same time. Even people who claim they do not like Brussels sprouts would be completely converted after one bite. They are balanced rich and addictive and I would happily come back just for them alone. They set a standard that feels almost unfair to other restaurants. And then there are the candy bars which are nothing short of magical. They are nostalgic and elevated all at once delivering pure happiness in dessert form. Every bite feels indulgent thoughtful and incredibly satisfying and they end the meal on the highest possible note. Cotton and Rye is a place that gets everything right from start to finish and leaves you already planning your next visit. It is a must for anyone visiting or living in Savannah and truly one of the best dining experiences around.

Probably the all-around best eats and drinks we had in Savannah, which is saying something. Brendan gave us probably the best service of the trip, too. Loved our mains. Loved our side. Loved our drinks. Pricing was reasonable. The room (physically cold) and music (annoying folk/rock) were downsides - both things drove my wife nuts. One ordering mistake on my part: Everyone foodie-ish I met loved hearing that we'd made reservations for Cotton & Rye and talked up the dessert chef (Peanut), all mentioning the "Twix bars" in particular. Me being a fool, I opted to try the special dessert (a gingersnap/apple bread pudding with ice cream) instead: it was fine, but not revelatory. We are planning to return to Savannah - and a big part of why is that we'd like to eat at Cotton & Rye again.

Cotton and rye has nice outdoor seating. Our waitress was friendly and offered honest suggestions. Felt the food was just ok - a bit of hit or miss, and the quality didn't align with the high prices. We had the wings (very good, liked they gave moist napkins to clean hands), the low country perloo (meh - a subpar paella, oversalted and sausage was almost non existent and tasteless), burger and fries (fries are homemade and very good, burger patty dry/overcooked, tasty special sauce). For dessert, we had the candy bars (tasted great, just like a Twix). All in - I'd consider coming for dessert, but otherwise would suggest looking elsewhere in Savannah.

This review is for dinner and coming from a non-local. Visited Savannah and this was by far the best meal we had on the trip. I'm honestly still dreaming of it! Ambiance / Service: casual, almost has an industrial feel to it. Minimal decor. It felt like this was a less touristy place, with more locals dining here. Server was super friendly and they split most our food into two plates in the kitchen for us which was nice. Food: I would come back here again solely for the food. I ordered the below for 2 people and it was too much, but I'd still order it all over! -Award Winning Chicken Wings: I know there's mixed reviews, but I thought these were amazing. Drenched in sauce & so flavorful, but somehow still crispy. More sweet than spicy. -Mussels: delicious. Sauce is creamy and flavorful. -Savannah Crab Rice: this was unique. Felt like it had some Indian inspired flavors. If you can't do spicy, I would skip. -Strawberry Panzanella: good to share. Fresh, light, and refreshing. -Fried Chicken: because I got so many apps I split the entree with someone. We each got a big piece of chicken. It was the perfect serving. Chicken wasn't greasy at all. Loved the homemade hot sauce & buttermilk ranch. Mac n cheese was delicious too. Comes with cornmeal doughnuts - recommend ordering as a side if your main doesn't come with. Sooo good! -Pimento Cheese Grits: YES. Sooo good. My favorite side. -Green Tomatoes: I didn't love the goat cheese with it, but this was a personal preference. Nothing "wrong" with the dish. -Collard Greens: very smoky flavor. -Peanut Butter Pie: no photo. Got this to go. I think it's an award winning pie. Literally tastes like a pb&j sandwich. It was really good. A bit rich, so recommend sharing.

An old bank is the setting for this very cool restaurant with one dining room even set in the old vault! Our waitress was extremely nice and helpful which added to the good experience we had. The cocktail list is extensive as is the wine list. We started out with an old fashioned and an Indiana Jones which were very good. The steak tartar starter was tasty. I had the seafood perloo which was excellent and my wife had the local trout on crab rice which she enjoyed. Make sure you save room for desert as their deserts are special. We had the candy bars, chocolate mouse, and vanilla cinnamon ice cream all made in house and delicious. When in Savannah, this is definitely a place to try!

Samantha E.

This place is fantastic. It gets very busy so reservations are helpful; when we got there, there was a wait for the bar. The cocktails are solid, though perhaps not the most varied flavors for the season. But they can make off-menu classic cocktails as well. The beef tartare was a great starter, fresh and light. The pork shank was rich and delicious. The trout was the showstopper, with lightly spicy tasso ham/crab rice. And do not miss the peanut butter pie. I haven't eaten that much of any dessert in years.

Harry G.

This place continues to shine and set the standard of quality for the city. Jason and Jay behind the bar make it fun. The servers are great and make coming here feel like a family; Asia, EA, Olivia, Kaitlin, Brendon!!! The food is excellent and the venue just makes your experience that much better!!!! This is a must stop when visiting the city.

Bianca I.

The food was very good, portions are generous also. Restaurant had a cool vibe inside, unfortunately we were sat outside under a tent during a thunderstorm so felt a little overpriced for the experience. Our server was efficient. Drinks were also good, recommend the mocktail! For dessert, we got the candy bars and peanut butter pie. The candy bar is like a homemade Twix bar. The peanut butter bar was rich but tasted very good and came with a scrumptious homemade brown sugar whipped cream on the side.

A fantastic start to my time in Savannah. I heard it was good but didn't realize HOW good. Every course I had was mindful, impactful, and memorable. My first impression upon arrival to Cotton & Rye was that the vibes were immaculate. It's a smaller and more intimate set up with a staff that was warm, approachable, helpful, and kind. My first impression carried throughout the rest of the meal. The shrimp and grits appetizer was absolute perfection. The trout entree was incredible, each component playing an important role in the harmony of the dish. For dessert I ordered a glass of the vin santo and a biscotti. Overall I can't think of anything that required improvement. I will always eat here whenever I'm in town.

Looking for a perfect date night in Savannah? This has to be top of the list. Everything we ordered came out perfect and paired well with the drinks on their menu. Latkes were crispy and had great accoutrements, wish they'd been on the side to avoid getting soggy but still great. Best part of the meal had to be the wings. "Award Winning" and they are every bit of that. Smothered in a sticky sauce that had a smoky chipotle flavor with a hit of honey and a blend of spices. Extremely crispy and fell off the bone. Chicken parm could have served two people! Huge cutlet and serving of bucatini with a mislay spicy sauce.

Excellent. We were able to snag a last-minute reservation here and were not disappointed. The standout on the regular menu was the crispy chicken wings, which lived up to the "crispy" title and had a perfect balance of sweet heat. They had two entree specials that we ordered that were both to die for, as well: (1) a white fish (can't remember exactly what it was) with a delicious pecan crust; and (2) crab legs, which were pre-cracked, so easy to eat without too much hassle and full of thick pieces of meat. We also got the mac and cheese, which was solid. Ambiance is buzzy and neighborhood-y. Good for a casual night out without a ton of frills, but reasonably upscale so you feel like you're "out somewhere." read more

We "picked" like the coldest, rainiest day to visit this restaurant. Almost cancelled because we requested an outside seat during the age of covid... But, ultimately glad we didn't. Their fully covered tent and heat lamps made the rain almost the perfect backdrop to a pretty perfect early dinner. I think something has to be said of just their ambiance and service. You can always tell when people actually like their job and like working with the people around them. We felt that immediately here. And with the warm heat lamps toasting us up right nice, we had an excellent meal. Every dish was great- but like others mentioned, we really enjoyed their "award winning (for real)" wings and rye cornbread, to start. For our two entrees, the pork osso buco and fish were also very tasty and perfectly prepared, even if not overly creative. All-in-all, basically a perfect meal with exactly the right ambiance and exceptional service. Not to be missed... read more

Absolutely phenomenal. If you're searching for a thoughtfully prepared meal crafted with true culinary experience, Cotton & Rye is the place to be. My beautiful family came into town for a reunion, and every time my cousins visit, they insist on trying a new spot in Savannah. I had just come to Cotton & Rye the month prior for my birthday and was so impressed that I knew I wanted to return with my family. Our dinner plans came together last minute, and with a party of seven on a Friday night, I wasn't sure we'd find a table. But then came Blair; an absolute lifesaver. She worked her magic and managed to fit us in. (Pro tip: make a reservation early; they book up fast, and for good reason.) Each of us ordered something different, and before long, we were sharing plates, passing dishes around the table, and falling in love with every single bite. Everything was flavorful, balanced, and just downright delicious. And because we couldn't get enough, we ordered shrimp and grits to go for breakfast the next morning; making my life easier, as I didn't have to cook and making our morning breakfast unforgettable. Here's where it gets even better: before we left that evening, we all agreed we wanted to come back the very next night. And guess what? Blair pulled it off again--this time setting us up in the vault room. Once again, we tried new dishes, and again, every single thing was exceptional. Blair was the kind of human you rarely come across; warm, intentional, and deeply kind; just beautifully spirited. She made us feel like more than just customers; we were like guests in her home. You can tell she's passionate about her work and genuinely cares about making people feel seen and valued. And let me give a massive shoutout to Olivia, who has been our server every time I've visited. She is an absolute gem; gracious, professional, incredibly hard-working, and attentive to every detail. She helped us navigate the menu, suggested amazing pairings, and managed to care for our group while also giving top-tier service to everyone else around us. We also had the honor of meeting Chef Chris, whose creativity in the kitchen is something to behold. The flavor pairings he brings to the table are unexpected in the best way, and nothing short of brilliant. He's a master of his craft, and it shows in every plate. The entire team, from the hostesses to the bartenders to the runners, were a joy. The energy, the service, the attention to detail... this is what dining should feel like. If you've found yourself discouraged by how service has slipped in recent years, come here. Cotton & Rye is the refreshing exception. And whatever you do, don't skip dessert. Even if you're full, take it to go. The pastry chef is an evil genius (in the most delightful way), crafting sweets that are equal parts nostalgic and gourmet. We were lucky enough to hear the stories behind Blair, Olivia, and Chef Chris, how they got started, what drives them, and how their paths crossed to create something truly special at Cotton & Rye. It was an honor to meet them and witness firsthand how their passion fuels the experience they give to guests. We didn't get the chance to meet the owner, Zach, but if you happen to see this: you've created something truly remarkable. The atmosphere, the team, the service, the food, everything was exceptional. Thank you for giving my family such a memorable and meaningful experience. Here's what we ate: Seasonal crudo, shrimp & grits, crispy wings, Savannah crab rice, octopus, salmon with peanut risotto, fried chicken, smash burger, cornmeal donuts, fries, collard greens, mac & cheese, empanadas, oysters (weekly special), peanut butter pie, and gourmet candy bars that reminded us of elevated Twix. Everything and I mean everything, was a 10/10. We will absolutely be back. No question. Blessing to you all individually and the business as a whole! read more

Found this restaurant via a google search and it was awesome! It's definitely off the beaten path and too far to get to walking if you are staying on the riverfront so plan to uber back & forth. We had a 6:45 pm reservation and were seated in the room where you walk in near the bar. I loved the vibe & décor of the restaurant. It was very lively inside. Our server was fantastic the entire meal. She was so friendly and gave us great recommendations. I can't remember which cocktails we tried and that menu isn't online however they were good drinks. There were several things we wanted to try so we ordered way more food that we needed for just two of us. To start, we shared the chicken wings. They are worth the hype - I loved the sauce and the chicken breading was tasty. For our mains, I got the shrimp & grits as my entrée and my fiancé got the bone in chop, along with sides of the cornbread and green beans. Everyone thing was the delicious - the shrimp & grits was very rich so I could not finish it but it was awesome. The pork chop was juicy and tender. The pecans on the green beans were a nice touch. My only regret is that we didn't have a microwave in our hotel to reheat our leftovers. We are very happy we stopped in for dinner during our trip. I'd definitely recommend this read more

Not as good as we thought it was going to be (based on the amazing reviews). The good: - The chicken wings are amazing - Waiter was very friendly - Good parking - Great ambience The bad: - The cheeseburger was underwhelming. We were surprised that it was only one thin patty (all of the pictures showed two patties). It tasted good, but it was honestly no better than what you would get at Five Guys. - Our food took 45 minutes to get to us. - The sides are pretty pricey for the portion sizes. In general, all of the prices seem a tad higher than what I would expect for the quality and size. We would like to give this place another shot, because we really want to like it. This is my honest review for now. read more

One of my favorite restaurants in Savannah! I've been back multiple times, often when people are visiting Sav for the first time and we are showing them around. The drinks are always delicious, the staff is always super kind, and not once has there ever been an issue with the food. The award-winning wings are award-winning for a reason, but my favorite thing on the menu by far is the curry chicken and dumplings. I'm not a huge fan of southern food, but this is a unqiue spin on a classic dish that makes it something totally new and worth trying (and loving!) If you are looking for a nice quiet dinner, this is the place! read more

Award Winning Wings were so big we had to take left over. It sweet and spicy but it was so juicy perfect appetizer to start. The sever Justin was nice to split the salad so we could both have some and it was actually good Caesar. Georgia wagyu beef was delicious i had mind medium and it was perfect temperature. The sauce hit the spot and the fries was seasoned right. We end up having room for dessert that we had COCOA CRÈME CARAMEL and it taste like a flan in a good way. The meringue was so I wanted more. I recommend to get a reservation for this place because it gets busy quick. I definitely will come back here , the service was great. read more

I ended up getting a light local beer which was delicious and we started with the award winning wings! Which I can definitely see why they are award winning!

This was the best restaurant we ate at while visiting Savannah! We got to the restaurant after traveling all day, for a late dinner (9pm). The place was hopping! Such a fun vibe. There was a mix of dress from casual (sweatshirts, shorts) to dressy. We started with the skillet cornbread (2 orders for a party of 4). It was delicious and hot out of the oven. We had one vegetarian in our group, who ordered three sides as an entree. This was a good choice and very filling! My husband and I each got the blackened catfish, which was delicious. My son who ordered a hamburger tried the catfish and wished he'd ordered it. I got the spicy greens on the side...which were collard greens. We shared two desserts - the candy bar and the brownie tart - both were delicious and two desserts were plenty for our group of four to share! read more

Ordered a bunch of stuff to share as a table and didn't do much of the mains since nothing really appealed to us and we weren't very hungry. Got the following: 1. Award winning chicken wings: for something that claims to be award winning, I expected a lot. It was good, but wouldn't call it award winning. Crispy wings with a sticky hot honey. The wings were huge. Worth ordering I guess 2. Salad: the bacon vinaigrette was way too fatty and oily. Defo switch it up to the red wine dressing instead. That bacon dressing was like all fat 3. Chicken and dumplings: it was alright - nothing special. Doughy and heavy 4. Mac and cheese: pretty good. It was the wet kind which I like and they used spirals instead of elbows so it was good. Could use more umami cheese and salty cheese taste but otherwise one of the better Mac and cheeses out there 5. Cornbread: this was great- you get lots of rosemary. Worth ordering 6. Brussels sprouts: have you ever had bad roasted Brussels? 7. Mushroom gumbo: not much mushrooms and a lot of sauce. I like the crispy rice block. But nothing mind blowing. Probably one of the only vegetarian mains 8. Peanut butter pie: this was actually fantastic. The peanut butter flavor was great with the "grape jelly" sauce. Not too sweet and balanced. The crust was great. Overall, Cotton and Rye is alright. Pretty good. Nothing mindblowingly different and amazing. Good dinner spot. read more

Everyone is so friendly here. Multiple people brought us drinks, dishes, and water for our pup. It seems like everyone cares for the guests, not just your server. There are four seating areas. You can sit at the bar, inside tables around the bar, tables on the original patio with wood slits around it, and the tables on the deck with the tent over it, where we sat with our puppy. Our server was so kind and knew the menu well. She gave exceptional descriptions of the items we asked about. We both began with a cocktail from their menu, and I did not take pictures, so I cannot remember the name, but it was served in a coupe glass and tasted like summer at the beach, so it had some coconut in it. For our appetizer, we shared shrimp and grits. They served it in mini cast iron, combining all the ingredients. It had cheese, peppers, bacon, and three shrimp. After my hubby took his first bite, he said it was the best shrimp and grits he had ever tasted. It was divine. For our mains, we shared the chicken thighs with Mac and cheese and the mushroom gumbo. Both were delicious meals, but the chicken thighs were the favorite. The chicken breading was so tasty and crispy. Then you could put honey, a yum yum sauce, and a pickle with the meaty chicken. I preferred a little bit of all three with my meat. The mushroom gumbo sauce was great, and the grit cake was crispy, but it needed more mushrooms, in our opinion. read more

Cool place, interesting menu and great friendly service. We liked the food ( all the dishes are not very big portions), the food is flavorful and tasty. There is a bar area, inside and a closed and covered patio plus a separate room for small gatherings (where we sat). I would definitely recommend reserving a table as the restaurant was packed. There is a free parking lot too. read more

Cotton and Rye gets all my praise! Every single ounce of it! I had the most spectacular service of my life here! Everyone works as a team and before you even ask for something it's being given to you! I had the wings as an appetizer. They were the best wings I've ever eaten and that's saying a lot! My sister and I split the burger and that was also incredible. I haven't had a meal I enjoyed this much in a very long time! read more

HOLY MOLY! Wanna talk about amazing food AND service? Come here. Right now! Cotton + Rye is a little off the beaten path from downtown but it is SO worth it. My husband + I were visiting from out of town and I came across this place and knew we had to try it. First off, the cheeseburger. All that melty cheese, the double patty and the SAUCE. Can we get a moment for the sauce? The fries were perfectly cut and fried. I don't know that I can say much more other than the whole plate was perfection. Of course, I needed to have some of the cheesy grits on the side and those did not disappoint. My husband ordered the chicken wings from the appetizer menu and a side of mac and cheese! The wings are nothing like we have ever had before. They were absolutely delicious. We can't wait to come back next time we are in Savannah! read more

This was a perfect dining experience. We had a 7:45 reservation and arrived at 7:15 to get a drink at the bar. Great selection of spirits and wines by the glass. Ended up eating at the bar with Amelia who was incredible. Wife had questions about gluten/nightshade issues and they could not have been more accommodating. We had trout, green beans, fried chicken, and spicy collard greens. Everything was magnificent. The chicken was perfectly marinated and fried served with a house made Ranch and hot honey. Honestly best I've ever had. Bottom line: go there. Everyone is amazingly friendly, ambiance is high vibe without being overly loud, and the food could not be better. read more

Traveled to Savannah for a work conference last week and was sure to get a table at Cotton & Rye. I am so glad we did! It was the best meal we had during our entire trip, and we at some great meals. The establishment felt nice and cozy, it smelt wonderful walking into it and we were greeted by the sweetest hostess. Service was spot on, we were constantly checked on, glasses filled with water and when it was time to order our sweet waitress did not disappoint with her recommendations. My colleague and I shared our meals. We started with the award winning wings, DELICIOUS. That crisp and flavor I will never forget, truly deserving of it's title. For mains, we went with the grilled trout with roasted garlic (we counted 15 cloves!) and pine nuts. What a combination! It was delicious. We don't get trout where we live, so this was a melt in your mouth treat. I ordered the pork shank with cabbage, rice and bacon jam. Wow! Talk about flavor in every bite, and perfect for a chilly night. We also got a side of their grits just because and I wanted to lick every spoonful of that dish!! For dessert we ordered the favorite dark chocolate cheesecake, decadent and the perfect amount of bitter and sweet. Drinks were flowing all night a glass of Sauvignon Blanco for my friend and their house old fashioned for me. Perfectly balanced with their apple turninado and rhubarb & cherry bitters. If I ever get to Savannah again, you can bet I'll be visiting this wonderful establishment again. Thank you for a wonderful meal and true southern charm. read more

I was a little perplexed as to why this restaurant was ranked so high on trip advisor when we first walked in. Top 10 in Savannah? You'd never guess it by looking at it, or the very limited menu. That said, this was the very best pot roast I've ever had in my life. My husband had the pork Milanese and he had a ton left over (which is unheard of for him). Server was decent (except never said please, thank you or even you're welcome), but the front of the house manager (maybe GM?) was very sweet and helpful. One of the very best meals I've had in Savannah! read more

I loved this restaurant. We decided to try Cotton & Rye out on a rainy Wednesday evening. To my surprise, when we arrived and asked for a table for two, we were told they did not have any tables inside available. My face saddened, and another lady looked over things, and she found a table for two inside. I could not believe they were booked for the evening. I'm happy for them. Well enough of that. Let me tell you about the food. We started with their Award Winning Wings, and they were all that and more. Nice and crispy and flavourful. I had to keep myself from licking my fingers. Just the right amount of heat and sweetness. Another surprise. Who would think that a white-cloth dining restaurant would serve fried chicken wings? Well, they do, and they are delicious. They top the service off with a warm wet hand towel to clean your sticky fingers. Next, we ordered the shrimp and grits, which were delicious. It came served it in a cast iron skillet and the shrimp was so fresh I thought they caught them right before they serve us the dish. I can't forget to mention the smooth velvet grits. We couldn't decide what to order next, so we tried the sides sampler. We ordered mac and cheese, cabbage, and brussels sprouts. At first, I was skeptic about ordering the mac and cheese because they listed grain mustard as one of the ingredients. Who puts mustard in their mac and cheese? Well, they do, and it was quite delicious. The Brussels sprouts were cooked to perfection. Flavorful and nice and crispy. As for the cabbage, I have to say it was just ok. A bit too greasy for me, but it was ok. Unfortunately, we were so full there was no room for dessert. I wish I remembered the name of the drink I ordered because it was quite refreshing. I know it was tequila based and champagne was one of the ingredients. I will return again soon. read more

I made a reservation for this restaurant about a month in advance for a bachelorette party and was absolutely blown away by the service received! When I made the reservation I specifically requested the vault, which is sort of a private room for our party of 8. If you want this room definitely call and ask for it in advance. When we arrived for our dinner reservation, the party before us was unfortunately still using the room. The staff were so nice and apologetic about it, and they covered our first round of drinks for the inconvenience. We had to wait almost 30 minutes until finally the manager went to speak to the other party and politely ask them to leave lol. True Southern hospitality. For the food: the hangar steak and the pork shank were very well-received. Nice big chunks of meat. And we all enjoyed the various drinks we ordered. I will be back next time I am in Savannah. The excellent customer service is what made this a great experience for me and the rest of the bachelorette party!! read more

This was our second dinner at Cotton & Rye (the first in 09/22), and both were absolutely fantastic! The atmosphere is beautiful, not too loud - but energetic. Service was excellent (even down to our server offering to provide "comparable" local liquors for our mixed drinks based on our preferences for more well-known brands - she NAILED it, great martini & old fashioned!). And the food... just wonderful! The first time we were there we had the fried chicken thighs (me) and the trout (him) - this was a while ago, but I remember both of us being extremely happy with our dishes. This time he had the steak - which was cooked perfectly. He enjoyed it! I clearly "won" this order, though - the pork shank osso bucco was hands down one of the best, most memorable dishes I have eaten in recent memory! I'm not a huge grits fan, but this dish came close to converting me (alas, had some grits for breakfast the morning after that reminded me the texture isn't always my thing). The sauce was delicious, the meat fell off the bone. I couldn't stop eating it! Absolutely the highlight of my meals in Savannah. read more

Heard lots of great reviews for this restaurant and so we made reservations a month in advance to check it out. Unfortunately, we were too full from our late lunch so we weren't able to order the award winning crispy chicken wings and opted to try a variety of side dishes instead. Almost everything we had tasted amazing. The shrimp and grits were delicious, the buttermilk eye cornbread had a earthy fragrance, and the fried cabbage was flavorful. The only side dish we thought paled in comparison to the others were the Brussels. If you like your Brussels almost burnt with a chip-like crisp, then this is for you. We were so full by the end of dinner, but we were enticed by the dessert menu, especially the candy bar. We were torn because the special dessert that night was a fig bread pudding. So we did what any reasonable person would do... order one to eat at the restaurant and order the other to go. The waitress recommended taking the candy bar to go because it would hold up better than the fig bread pudding. The fig bread pudding ended up being a decent dessert, but we had the candy bar the next day and it blew us away. Yes-- it is similar to a Twix, but the quality and taste is unrivaled. It's been a month since our visit here and I still can't get over how good it was nor can I find anything like it in Southern California. Thanks for a great experience, Cotton and Rye! read more

Our first dinner in Savannah was spent at Cotton & Rye upon recommendation from McDreamy's brother. We had late evening reservations and were seated promptly by very friendly staff when we arrived. The restaurant is low lit and cozy. Despite it being packed with patrons, the sound level was dampened making for easy table conversation. Our waiter was somewhat new to the restaurant but knowledgeable and very amiable. We were advised to try the chicken wings. If you go to Cotton & Rye and only have time for one thing, then get the wings. We were served six wings for the three of us. They were large and dripping with a delectably sweet sauce. The coating was crisp. The chicken was tender. I'd have smacked someone's hand if they'd tried to take my last wing. We'll be back simply for the wings. Besides the amazing appetizer, we ordered drinks that were served promptly and mains that were delivered to our table not too quickly and not too long afterward. I had chosen the market fish which was catfish over succotash. OMG it was amazing! Best dang fish dish that I've had in a long time and I order fish a lot. McDreamy was afraid of the catfish (because catfish are mud fish and taste like dirt, right?). But he tried a bite and was taken aback. I dare say he had a little food envy. Meanwhile, he had chosen the bone-in pork chop that was gigantic! He shared a slice of it and it was succulent. Eldest daughter ordered the NY strip which was cooked precisely to her liking. To end the meal, we shared a dark and white chocolate mousse dessert bar topped with a chocolate shell. It was an excellent way to end the meal with something light and sweet. We all left Cotton & Rye very pleased. I highly recommend enjoying a meal here. It's high on our list 'must go' list for when we return to Savannah. read more

I loved this place. I was in town for a few days and researched where to eat, as I always do. The wings absolutely lived up the hype. That sauce was just finger licking good. I wanted to kick it off the plate. Their burger was tasty and I loved their mac and cheese. When many Mac and cheese dishes fall short, this one was worth the calories. Their wine list was very good and they even had sauternes and Madeira after dinner. I was so full and didn't have dessert, which was a hard decision to make! I'd go back in a heartbeat if I lived close. I also appreciated that it wasn't in the busy historic district. read more

The brunch menu is fairly…read moreextensive, so we had some difficulty choosing what to order....but definitely come hungry because the portions are large and the food is pretty rich. 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'm absolutely glad I picked it. Walking in, we were greeted with smiles. The house/restaurant was stunning. It was quirky but still had its charm. We were escorted to our table, which was an odd little table halfway up the stairs, away from everyone. We were told that table was meant of anniversaries/intimate events. It felt awkward at first but it ended up being fun people watching and listening in to conversations as people walked by. Colton was our server. He was great. Extremely knowledgeable. He walked us through the menu, offered great suggestions on food and wine, did a proper wine service, and even properly pronounced the region in which the wine was from. Colton definitely made us feel special and gave us an incredible experience. I'll definitely give it to Common Thread. The knowledge in which every staff member presented was incredible. As every person dropped off an item at the table, they accurately described the dish in detail before they walked away. I've been in the restaurant industry for almost 20 years; serving, bartending, and managing numerous different types of restaurants, from casual to fine dining. I've opened up a few restaurants and have been a trainer as well. Common Thread is operating at a high level in terms of the staff's ability. The food: incredible. We started with one of each oyster, and it was insane how much flavor was packed in them. Our first course was also accompanied with the hand roll and the apple beet salad. The hand roll was fantastic. The beet salad felt like it needed some sort of acid/citrus with it, but still had great flavor. Course two was the mushroom cannelloni and the orecchiette. Both were phenomenal. My wife was obsessed with the cannelloni, the butternut squash puree was a perfect accompaniment. The pesto/parmesan foam on the orecchiette was an excellent touch. Course three we went against Colton's suggestion for the pork chop (almost got both, we were stuffed), and got the Ribeye. Great char, cooked perfectly. The peppercorn jus was an excellent topper for it. For dessert, we opted for the sticky toffee pudding. Although it wasn't sticky, the ginger pairing with it was an excellent touch. This is one of the best experiences we've ever had at a restaurant. This will be a staple for us whenever we're back in Savannah and will definitely be asking for Colton again. He is the kind of server I'd like to have at my restaurant. Props to Common Thread, props to Colton.

The Grey

We started with a dozen oysters from Massachusetts, served with a small dropper bottle of…read morevinegar-citrus infusion. A few drops over each oyster completely transformed them.. bright, briny, and incredibly clean. They were absolutely exceptional. I would come back just for those alone. We then had the whole grilled snapper at The Grey, generously stuffed with herbs (mostly Italian parsley). It was beautifully cooked, perfectly seasoned, and carried that quiet confidence of a kitchen that knows exactly what it's doing. For a side, we chose the smashed potatoes, which were a standout in their own right, crispy edges with a soft, fluffy interior. Comforting, well-executed, and easy to keep reaching for. The space itself adds a lot to the experience: a thoughtfully repurposed former Greyhound bus station that feels stylish and warm without trying too hard. Service was excellent throughout.. attentive, well-paced, and seamless from start to finish. Overall, a memorable meal with a strong sense of balance, restraint, and care in every detail.

We really wanted to love this place but unfortunately we couldn't…read more I want to believe it's the menu we had at the time we visited, when we looked online while we made our reservation it didn't match the menu we had once we got the restaurant. Looking around at the tables around us nothing really caught our eye after reading the menu, we didn't want to leave since we were able to get reservations so we got some starters and shareables. There was a couple next to us who was having the same dilemma after over hearing their conversation. The kale salad was okay but a little bitter for my liking and the potato soup had a thick layer of oil on the top which looked intentional but wasn't our cup of tea. The cornbread and mashed potatoes were good but nothing crazy in our opinion to write home about. Service was okay on our end, once our waiter realized we weren't getting any main entrees it felt like he ghosted us with no water until our food came out and then never came back to check in on us until he brought the check. We are going to try to come again next time we are in town in hopes we have a better experience and different menu!

We were sat in what I believe used to be a front parlour, by a window over looking the street. We had a dual service with one person being the "main" server, his name was Michael. He was in charge of giving us the spiel and answering our questions. A woman (I forget her name, sorry! But she was lovely) was in charge of running the food and clearing the plates. It was a very well run machine. The menu is pre set, but there were choices on some of the courses, like course where an option was a soft shelled crab - I definitely wanted to take advantage of that! We started off with Biscuits with butter and homemade orange marmalade, these were delightful, so fluffy and soft, and the marmalade was sweet, not bitter like it sometimes can be. The Amuse bouche was a trio of tiny items: a pimento cheese tart, a mussel with chipotle sauce and panko, and a square of salmon with mild wasabi and ginger. The salmon was definitely my favorite. The fifth course had a special as I noted before, so I opted to go for that, it was a soft shell crab with garlic, herbs and a vidalia onion slaw. Topped with peanuts and a white wine sauce. I think my favorite course of them all was the scallops with the carrots and the whipped ricotta - so simple but so delicious! Phenomenal special occasion place or just to cross off your bucket list. If I am in Savannah again (and the likelihood is high, its such an amazing city), I will be back.

It was dimly lit and had a warm, inviting atmosphere and our server was awesome! To start, we all got the cucumber blossom cocktail. I got mine with tequila and the server was very knowledgeable about the drinks and the liquors that would work well with each one. We decided the best route for us was to split 2 apps and 2 entrees. For appetizers, we went with the focaccia and the crispy brussel sprouts. Both were AMAZING! I always love bread to start a meal. And the Brussels were nice and soaked in balsamic glaze, which maybe diminished the "crispy" in the title... but I didn't mind because they were delicious. For our entrees, we went with the gnocchi and the catfish served over grits. I would say the standout was the catfish. The gnocchi was good, but not as good as the other dishes we had. Overall we had a great experience splurging a bit on a nice meal. I would definitely recommend getting a reservation on the weekends. They seemed to be busy!

Best crab cake in the city, I can safely say, after four days eating them everywhere. Very cool servers also, who giggled saying " you wouldn't have found the Kroger." Good thing we were not looking for Kroger and had already found this spot in place of this culty Mate joint. Pop this place to the top of the list, trust me.

Before our trip, one of my fraternity brothers told me that if I wanted some of the best Southern soul food in Savannah, I had to visit Mrs. Wilkes. He also warned me that there would be a long wait. Let me just say--he was absolutely right on both counts! We arrived at the restaurant and stood in line outside in the rain. We didn't get seated until 1:00 PM. Normally, I would not wait that long for a meal, but for the record, and I can't believe I'm saying this--it was worth every minute of the wait. The experience was unlike any restaurant I've ever visited. My wife and I were seated at a large table with approximately eight other people whom we had never met. Yet within minutes, it felt like we were dining with family. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and filled with genuine Southern hospitality. The food was simply outstanding. Every traditional Southern dish you can imagine was brought to the table and passed family-style from person to person. The home-cooked flavors reminded me of the meals many of us grew up enjoying. Everything was delicious, and the desserts were just as impressive. What made the experience even more special was the sense of community. People of different backgrounds and races were dining together, sharing food, conversation, and fellowship. The staff worked together seamlessly and went out of their way to make every guest feel welcome. While we waited in line, a gracious lady shared the history of the restaurant and the legacy of Mrs. Wilkes herself. The staff even provided umbrellas to guests who didn't have one--including me--which was a thoughtful gesture that spoke volumes about their commitment to customer service. From the food, to the hospitality, to the rich history and unique family-style dining experience, Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room exceeded every expectation. If you're visiting Savannah, this is not just a meal--it's an experience. I proudly give Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room a 5 out of 5-star rating and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Savannah.

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!!

Unfreakingbelievably good. Cotton and Rye is my favorite restaurant in the world. From a date night or meal with a friend to a birthday dinner, this is my go to place. Everything about this restaurant is perfect. And it is consistently perfect every time I go- which is a lot as Danielle the manager knows. From the minute you walk in the door the staff makes you feel so special and welcome. They go above and beyond to accommodate their guests. They have the most attentive and knowledgeable servers who are so passionate about what they do. I have been fortunate to eat with Meg, Rebecca, Olivia, Chris, Sunny, and Rhett, all of who genuinely want and strive to make you have the best dining experience possible. The servers are truly happy when you enjoy your meal. Which is not hard to do.... I've had everything on the menu. Multiple times. No words can express how delicious the dishes here are. The beef tartare and shrimp and grits are my favorite appetizers. Hands down the best beef tartare I have ever had. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water! I always have to order the panzanella salad... sometimes two. The bell peppers, cucumbers, purple onion, homemade grilled rye croutons, feta, tomatoes, olives, and red wine vinaigrette make the perfect, flavorful, crunchy, and most delicious combination. ALL of the entrees are outstanding. The fried chicken with spicy honey is one of the best things you will ever taste. And the mac and cheese which has cheddar and parmesan- HOLY YUM. The stuffed trout is INCREDIBLE. Really everything is absolutely delicious. The portions are very generous which is nice because the food is so tasty you never want it to be gone. And even if you think you can't possibly eat another thing- desserts are a MUST. The homemade candy bar and buttermilk pie are worth every single bite. They are out of this world. The pastry chef here is top notch, beyond talented, and so creative. I could go on and on about how amazing every part of this restaurant is but I will stop now and just say- if you want to eat the best food while being treated like a celebrity, check out Cotton and Rye. They know how to make a girl feel special and full. Best place to eat in Savannah by far! read more

As a member of A Taste of Hope, a small group of passionate food enthusiasts, I had the opportunity to recently dine at Cotton & Rye. The evening began on a refreshing note with Elvira's Vacation Drink--a tart, balanced cocktail where each flavor complemented the other beautifully. To start, the grilled octopus stood out as a highlight of the night: tender, perfectly cooked, and enhanced with the bold pairing of Corazon and jalapeño, creating a lively combination of flavors. The entrées showcased both creativity and comfort. The trout was served piping hot, its skin crisped to perfection and accompanied by sliced peppers, a flavorful sauce, and brown rice that tied the dish together. While the potatoes were not heavily seasoned, pairing them with the sausage elevated the overall taste. Other small plates, such as the warm crackers alongside house-made pickles and peppers, added an extra touch of Southern hospitality. The Low Country Boil offered a satisfying mix, with the tomato bringing a nostalgic depth and the lemon adding a bright finishing kick. On the cocktail side, the Lady Junior impressed with a light, peach-forward profile, almost like a chilled peach soup. The Low Country Perlo, though beautifully plated, fell short in texture as the rice leaned mushy and the seasoning needed more depth; however, the inclusion of chorizo was its saving grace. Overall, the experience at Cotton & Rye was flavorful and memorable, offering a mix of standout dishes and a few learning opportunities, but certainly worth revisiting for its creativity, atmosphere, and commitment to fresh ingredients. read more

Aight listen up -- we went down to Cotton and Rye, and lemme tell ya, this place slaps. First off -- the pork chop? Fuhgeddaboudit. Juicy like it just came off the friggin' grill in Southie. I'm talkin' perfectly seared, seasoned like ya Nonna had somethin' to do with it. Then we got the chicken Caesar salad -- and yeah, I know what you're thinkin', "It's just a salad," but nah. This thing had crispy-ass chicken, real deal croutons, not that cardboard stuff from the supermarket, and the dressing? Creamy with a lil' zip. Wicked good. Now lemme tell ya about the veggie lasagna. I ain't even a veggie kinda guy, but this was layers of cheesy, saucy magic. Even Ma woulda shut up at the table for a minute and just ate. Then--beef carpaccio. Raw beef? Yeah, sounds sketchy, but holy hell this stuff was smooth, rich, thin like it was sliced with a friggin' laser. Fancy as hell but still hit like Fenway in October. And don't even get me started on Asia, our waitress -- this girl was a legend. Friendly, fast, knew her stuff. Treated us like royalty but didn't have that fake waitress smile. Real one. Deserves a raise and a street named after her. 5 freakin' stars. Will be back. Might move in if they let me. read more

From the decor and service to the food and staff- Cotton and Rye is exceptional. Dining at Cotton and Rye is truly a treat. The staff is so inviting and welcoming. It seems their goal is to make sure you have the best time and food and they will go above and beyond to make sure you do. The food is amazing. My favorite appetizer is the sausage and cheese board. They always have an awesome assortment of cheeses and their homemade sausage, pickles, and jams are excellent. The fried duck livers are extremely flavorful. The tomato jam that comes with them is so good I asked my server if I could purchase some to bring home. You cannot go wrong with any of their entrees but the hanger steak and cheeseburger are my favorites. Warning: make sure you go hungry because you must order dessert too. The homemade candy bar is heaven on earth. Literally. Every single visit I leave incredibly full and happy. Cotton and Rye is by far the greatest restaurant in Savannah- their food and service are top-notch. read more

My wife and I have driven by this restaurant so many times and finally decided to try it out. It is in a very up and coming area. With this restaurant, BBQ, ands great fresh seafood market within a 1/2 mile of each other, this area is definitely gaining a lot of attention. We had read several reviews and pretty much knew what we wanted to order. We received a very warm welcome by several staff members while we waiting for our seat. We ordered a bottle of Viognier wine, and the sausage and cheese plate initially. She ordered the Panzarella salad and I got the hangar steak medium-rare. We shared so many oohs and ahhhhs are while trying each item. It was a true experience. Last, but definitely not least, we ordered the candy bar dessert. My wife was slightly disappointed when She saw the size of the dessert (as any woman would be), but then we tried it and "oh my goodness, it was SO worth it. Our bill came to $89 before tip and we both agreed it was worth it. We will definitely be back! read more

Shrimp and grits were amazing, atmosphere too. I love how their drink menu is separated into the "Whiskey" and "Non-Whiskey" categories, however their drink menu is somewhat limited. I tried the "French Girl" which basically consisted of lemon and house vodka. Too sour, not enough sweet. Waitress, Alexandra, suggested a local beer, brilliant suggestion. Friend and I ordered the cheeseburger, and the pork shank, both AMAZING. Mac and Cheese as side, mediocre; too watered down. Overall, a great experience. Would I dine their again, absolutely. Thank you Alexandra. read more

One of the best chef's i'm currently aware of in Savannah IMO. The menu gives you dishes that aren't exactly morsels meant to be high strange or artisan... but rather recognizable dishes that hit all the right notes that you want when you just want to drink whiskey and have some good southern food. If you are lucky... their sumac and chile-dusted chicken wings with spiced honey... and their butter bean-corn succotash with field peas, sweet peppers, onions, house-cured-and-smoked bacon, and herbed butter is on point! read more
