    Cute local spot. The server was so sweet and helpful with giving her recommendations. I ate the grits breakfast bowl, which was very filling. Could've used a bit more flavor but was good! Would definitely go back and try something else. The vibe in there was very relaxed.

    We came here after church on Sunday around 10am, and it was pretty empty. As we ate, it started to get fill up. There's a section for kids to play, which, in theory, is cool, but I wonder how often they clean it- especially with this being a restaurant. But, I digress! It's in a basement, which a few restaurants are in the historic district, and not a personal favorite of mine. This place feels like you're at grandmas house, and that was cute. They use large paper table coverings, which I'm only used to seeing at seafood restaurants. So again, unsure how clean things are or if they're just changing out the paper table coverings. I ordered the hash brown platter, and I expected the shredded version, and not breakfast potatoes. They were still good, just unexpected. Coffee is ever flowing here, and that was a nice treat. They don't serve alcohol here! Not a bad thing, but a rarity in the historic/tourist district. Was hoping for a mimosa, but it wasn't terrible that I didn't get one. This is a lowkey place to visit if you're in the area to get breakfast without the frills. I will say some of the prices seemed a bit high for what we saw, but alas, historic district prices.

    A nice spot in Savannah for good breakfast. It's a beautiful restaurant in the basement of a hotel. Very charming inside and a little play area for children. Breakfast is simple but delicious. I loved the hashbrown breakfast. A good spot for an affordable less crowded breakfast! They also will hold your bags for a fee using bounce which was really convenient

    The name as you walk down the stairs--you can also use an elevator.

    Very friendly people. The wood and brick all look original giving it the historical feel that is Savannah. I had the homemade Peach Cobbler on French Toast. Very good. My wife had the grits with sausage. Big bowl! Also very good.

    Arrived and it is down stairs and very, Savanna. The Marriott concierge recommended it and decided to try it. Best Savannah decision we made! The staff seamed so happy we asked why? With big smile thy said we are family. We meet three generations. This is one of the few travel places worth coming ack to on every visit. When in Savannah try it you will love it!

    I would call this a comfort food restaurant. Service had one waitress but she was amazing doing her best. There were quite a few take out orders so you know the locals come here for quality eats. Lots of specials each day. Big space downstairs in a historic building. Enjoy.

    I dined at Debi's Restaurant last month on the recommendation of some friends after visiting the expo for the Every Woman's Marathon. The restaurant is located on Bay Street, in the basement of the building. We were seated quickly without a wait, but the place filled up fast. Our server was clearly overwhelmed, rushing around and visibly sweating, even though it was a mild November day. I ordered the salmon cakes, which were served on a bed of cheese grits and topped with remoulade sauce. The dish was mediocre at best - filling, but the salmon cakes were a bit dry and could have been more flavorful. The restaurant itself was uncomfortably cold, but oddly enough the bathrooms were warm and cozy - LOL! Overall, I probably wouldn't return to Debi's if I'm back in Savannah. It was an okay experience that served its purpose, but it didn't leave me very impressed.

    Beautiful art, Savannah inspired.

    Debi's is a nice, cozy restaurant, serving delicious home style food. They have a great menu with classics, they also have a chef's special menu posted by the day. They have a bar upstairs, when you first walk in. You're welcomed to order your cocktail and sit at the bar, or take it with you to your seat. We dined for lunch on a quiet Monday. We were immediately seated, greeted my kind staff and served delicious food. I enjoyed my salmon cakes and fried green tomatoes. They were cooked perfectly and seasoned wonderfully.

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.

I had the Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon, and Alison had the quinoa chicken bowl. Everything came out quickly, the presentation was gorgeous, and the flavors were out of this world. We also tried a couple of mocktails and both were fantastic. I came very close to ordering Leo's Big Brekkie because it looks like a protein lover's dream, but I wasn't quite hungry enough to tackle it. Now I already have something picked out for our next visit! Great atmosphere, wonderful service, beautiful food, and an all-around terrific experience. Five stars really isn't enough.

First, the setting is absolutely beautiful. You're dining inside this gorgeous historic pink mansion, and you can feel the history and richness of the energy throughout the space. There is something so special about being there. It feels like an experience before you even get to the food. And speaking of those biscuits, they were genuinely some of the best biscuits I have ever put in my mouth. I could have eaten an entire basket by myself. We started with the goat cheese artichoke fritters, which were delicious. I also had the Low Country she-crab soup, and heavenly is really the only word for it. Rich, creamy, flavorful, just incredible. For dinner, I had the pecan-crusted chicken breast with blackberry bourbon glaze, sweet potato with pecan vanilla butter, and string beans. It was so, so good. Every part of the plate worked beautifully together, and it was exactly the kind of Southern meal I was hoping to have while in Savannah. The service was fantastic, and throughout the evening we heard beautiful live music from some amazing singers. Between the historic setting, the incredible food, the hospitality, and the music, the entire evening felt truly special. Bravo to everyone who works there and makes this place what it is. What an exceptional experience. I genuinely cannot wait to go back.

The service by our waitress Kristen, who was also the sommelier, was top notch. She gave us great wine recommendations for the choices we made. She also gave us a picture of what was on the menu. We ordered the She Crab soup and BLT. The fried green tomatoes sold me on the Pink House's version of a deconstructed BLT. The biscuits are great for dipping not just a snack so be sure you help clean the plate with them. Yum. I ordered the Vidalia onion and Sweet potato ravioli with oyster mushrooms with pecans. It was the best thing between my wife and I. She had the fried flounder with a side of asparagus. Whole fish without the head. I thought the fish was delicious. Paired with the Reisling Kabinett, while the Pinot Noir Argyle went well with the Ravioli. For dessert I had the Pecan Basket. The vanilla with fruit in a pecan weave held the whole dessert together. The raspberry peach sorbet was delicate and sweet. Both desserts hit the spot along with the coffee to finish up the night. The light, tables, paintings and decorations were perfect for a romantic evening with your special someone or dinner with the family to celebrate a special occasion. Whatever the case, this visit capped a great weekend in Savannah and Tybee.

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.
