Went on New Year's Eve. Wanted to sit on patio in order to watch game. Initially told that might be a problem but found us a two top. About half the tables were occupied and never exceeded that. Understand they are short staffed so ok. Server eventually got to us. Ordered a couple Damn Yankee IPAs and Chips and Queso to start. Queso came lukewarm warm at best, Beers weren't what we expected, got a hazy blond. After discussing with server switched to lagers which were flat. Ordered the Beef Rue Morgue and the Chicken Amontillado , both disappointing. Understand the stress of New Year's Eve but this was a major disappointment. The highlight of our meals was the water. If you go I hope your experience is better. read more

Fun theme, good food, friendly staff and pleasant outdoor seating. Indoor is nice too, and has a bar. Situated conveniently near river street, it's an easy choice for a filling meal when in the downtown area and a solid restaurant. read more

We wanted to like this place. Did take out when we lost power. The "nachos" barely had cheese on them and the guacamole tasted sour like the made it 2 days before. Cheese fries, again, barely any cheese and fries were hard! Never again! read more

This is our second visit to a Poe's Tavern, in two different cities. Great service and amazing food.

Fun atmosphere with a lot of history. Good food and service was exceptional. Loved the decor and the access to the street with open garage doors since it used to be a fire station. read more

The bar food is good as well you will. find in Savannah. The main reason to keep coming back is Jennie's professional assistance and wonderful personality I will keep coming back Peter read more

We had the salmon tacos and the blackened mahi-mahi tacos. Both were good but the mahi-mahi was the best and I usually don't like fish. The meal comes with two tacos and a side. We had potato salad. It was dry and bland and I don't recommend that as neither of us liked it. We ended up not eating that. I would expect 3-4 tacos for the cost of the meal so that's a bit disappointing. I'm a small eater and both myself and my husband were still hungry. The service and ambiance were good and we would return in the future. read more

A wonderful place to eat and drink in Savannah. It reminds me a lot of my favorite college bar. The bartender was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. The food was great bar fare. Definitely worth a visit. read more

Food has been going downhill over the last two years. Burgers are cold and service is very hit or miss.

The food was very good, we got the Amontillado burgers. Mine was a veggie burger which was great because it was homemade. My partner's was the beef. I especially loved the fried onions as a topping, which comes with all the burgers. The waitress we had was super friendly and kind, which made our experience even better. read more

Poe's Tavern - Amontillado Veggie Burger - Burgers Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

I am a hamburger connoisseur. There's really nothing better than an awesome, perfectly cooked, juicy, well seasoned burger. Poe's Gold Bug Plus with pimento cheese fits that description PERFECTLY! Our waitress was fantastic and informative. I can't eat spicy food and nearly 80% of restaurants thinks everyone likes spicy pimento cheese. She let me sample the cheese before I ordered and it was perfect. The ambiance is laid back and we sat facing the street so we could people watch. The garage style doors weren't open but I look forward to spring to seeing them open and experiencing the breeze and sounds of Savannah. Great job Poe's Tavern! We look forward to seeing you soon! read more

I love this spot my son and I had a mom and son date here I ordered the chicken quesadilla and he ordered a burger that had buffalo shrimp and blue cheese on it....I know right ? But it was a great combination I took of his sandwich I must go back for one to myself ....the chicken quesadilla was ummm alright but not bad the cocktail was a lil weak our waitress was awesome and you can eat inside or outside we enjoyed it overall I think it's more so a dive spot !!!!! But go see for yourself If you into sandwiches,burgers and good appetizers ! read more

Great find- food staff all excellentl Loved the pictures & quotes on the walls Try the BBQ shrimp salad read more

My wife, our three kids and I were looking for a one off Savannah foodie experience. Poe's was that plus so much more. And our server was so patient with our 13 year old who emptied 5 glasses of water during our visit. 5 stars all the way! read more

Mahi mahi tacos were excellent. Flavorful, fresh and tasty! Fruit did not come from can so it was nice knowing it was fresh. Good beers. Good vibes. Recommend! read more

Seemed like a good atmosphere, ordered. Burger as this seemed their speciality. Ordered it medium, came out well done and dry. Waiter noticed there was only one bite taken, but did not seem to care. Only seemed to care about getting us out the door . Good selection of beer .. 2 stars for atmosphere and beer selection. read more

Charming burger pub tucked away on the far side of Plant Riverside. Beautiful interior, excellent covered patio with small play area for corn hole and simply relaxing. Mahi tacos were fresh and tasty, fries thin and crispy. Chili was hearty and delicious. read more

Portions are huge! I recommend sharing. Good place for burgers and crispy fries. I ordered a rare burger with fried egg and apple smoked bacon. I got a side of the blue cheese Cole slaw which I cannot recommend. This they have to perfect with better mayo, a sprinkle of celery seed, yellow raisins and blue cheese crumbles. I'm a chef ‍ and this would be an easy fix. Service was great! read more

awesome service and great experience! super cool decorations and a good menu with fair price!

We ate at Poe's Tavern in Savannah last night. The location is very nice and the host was very welcoming. For dinner both my wife and I had the soup of the day which was potato leek soup. It was very good and very hot (which I like) but did need some salt which was easily remedied. For our entree, my wife had the Grilled Salmon Salad which she said was very good but also needed salt. I had the Grilled Chicken Salad which was also good size and very flavorful. All in all we would go back again although our server could have been more attentive. read more

Stopped here on a whim after SCAD graduation, it wasn't crowded and smelled delicious, sat at the open air huge bar in the middle. Loved that the whole side of the restaurant was open to the outside. We ordered the fish tacos with a side of blue cheese bacon slaw Holy Moley delicious! And a jalapeño Margarita, that was perfectly balanced. I definitely recommend this place! Check out the restaurant and bathroom for cool Edgar Allan Poe decor read more

Food was great, service was quick, and it was a 70 degree February night so we ate outside and it made a big difference - open air always makes eating more fun. We loved the queso and chips - yum! I had a burger and it was delicious. I hope to be back some day if /when I'm in Savannah. read more

At first I sat down to eat but then my clients called and they made my order to go. My burger was amazing. Juicy and seasoned. Highly recommend. Sorry no pictures I devoured it on the way to my clients. read more

Will have to come back to give this spot another chance because this review is solely based on the service we received at the bar. There was one person manning the whole bar on a Saturday night; poor choice on managements part and probably the reason why he was so rude. We had seen a beer that we thought was the one we had ordered in another spot and when we asked the bartender about it, he chucked a beer menu at us and said he'll come back again when we were ready. Crappy service at the bar. Maybe the waiters are nicer; the host was. read more

Came here from out of town. Just happened across this place!!!! AMAZING. It's Edgar Allen Poe themed .. so cool. The burgers are HUGE. Half pound. The wife and I really enjoyed this place. I would recommend that if u live in Savannah Georgia. Stop by you won't be disappointed read more

Amazing service from our waiter Chris, he did a great job and the overall ambience of this place is great, 10/10 would recommend and come again read more

Ryan was professional, friendly & very knowledgeable about the restaurant & food. Great salad with grilled chicken--we highly recommend this place.... read more

Poe's Tavern - Salad w/ grilled chicken was delicious - Burgers Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

Stopped in to Poe's mostly because it was right next to our hotel. It's a nice space with both indoor and outdoor seating options. Sat at the empty bar and perused their large draft list. Sought some help navigating the local beers but the bartender was not super knowledgable or interested. The service in general was terrible so I decided to move on without trying the food. Poe's was not busy while I was there and that is sometimes the kiss of death. There were four servers sitting at the far end of the bar and the bartender spent most of her time chatting with them. Again, it may have just been my bad luck - but there are too many great places in Savannah to waste a stop off on a poorly run joint. Service counts folks - location only gets you so far. Nevermore for sure. read more

Been wanting to try out this new place for awhile. They teased us by saying they were opening soon for a long time it seemed. Finally we walked by and they happened to be open. The food was good and they are still working on getting their whole process down. The cocktails were well done! I'll definitely go back. read more

Save your money. The food was subpar and it's not like we could say anything to the bartender because she didn't care enough to check on us. Ever. It really seemed like she just didn't care. The only reason for 3 stars was my Old fashioned. Another positive was a server they sent to tell us they were out of the dressing I asked for. She was very sweet. Never again. read more

Went to this place for a burger and fries. 30 minutes later, we asked if we could get it within 5 minutes cause our parking was running out... they said it would be another 20 minutes. For a single burger and fries. Come on. Crew is lazy. read more

Love Poe's Tavern! I had the Beef Rue Morgue. The fries were crispy and perfect as the base for the chili and queso. Really enjoyed this! They also cooked my egg perfectly as I asked for it over hard instead of runny. Would definitely recommend and return! read more

Loved the atmosphere. Waiter did great with our large group. The Poe themed menu was awesome. I had one of the best salads I've had in a long time. read more

Great food and service. The burgers are wonderful, and very ample portions. You can get the burger with a traditional beef patty, chicken breast, or veggie patty. If you like Poe, then Go. read more

I highly recommend Poes Tavern for a large group looking to have wonderful food and excellent service close to Plant Riverside. For two years I have hosted a group of 20+ people in their party room which is perfection! The staff make it soooo easy to seat such a large group and we have had an amazing time. No other restaurant around this popular area was able to accommodate like this. Yeah for Poes!! read more

This rating is simply due to the LACK of service! We never ate our food because it never came out. 4 tables inside the place had people in it and we waited over 45 minutes for burgers?!?! What the what! You came so highly recommended but you disappointed us like Kamala! read more

The atmosphere was fine, staff were friendly but the burgers were not good. They claim to have 1/2 lb burgers but they seemed like frozen pre-made patties. The fries & crispy onions were cold. A major bummer read more

I enjoyed my time at Poe's! It's not like some other finer dining places in Savannah, but it is a good place to gather with girlfriends and have some drinks and dinner. They make a good spicy marg! Our server was funny and personable and had plenty of recommendations for where we should go for drinks after dinner. read more
