Everything I ate at Poe's Tavern was delicious! Took off one star due to the odd way we were greeted and forced to wait. When we arrived at 4:45 there were 3 or more empty tables. We were told since we didn't have reservations that we would have to wait since the 5pm reservations would be in soon. No problem, but shortly after that they sat two other parties who also arrives without reservations. It was so odd. However when I inquired they were quick to seat us. Ryan was our server and he was great. We had the nachos to start. Highly recommend! The chili is delicious. I wish they put their queso on it too. Also had the mahi tacos. The tacos dinner comes with two tacos both with generous pieces of mahi. The Beef Rue Morgue was delicious. The queso is outstanding. Looks like the burgers are the winners at this spot. read more

I went for work with a very large group. Even though we had 20-30 people, every order was correct. It's a little pricey, but worth it for how unique the food is. I really enjoyed the Amontillado burger- it was super juicy and refreshing- would 100% get again. BUT they have so many entree options that I'd want to try something different next time. Every burger is named after an Edgar Allen Poe poem and can be chicken or beef. The bathroom is covered in his poems and even has an audio book playing! Very unique and fun experience for a restaurant. If you come during summer and sit outside- the canopy and fans make it enjoyable even in the heat! read more

When you order a martini and the bartender ask what's in it, you already know its not going to be good. I'm not sure how you can screw up a martini but they did including serving it on the "Rocks". Service was horrible at the bar 10 min. Before being acknowledged. The topper was I request a 1/2gin1/2 vodka martini they said they had to charge me double for 2 liquors. I asked her how do you charge for a long island ice tea the answer was "We don't put liquor in our tea". This is what was behind the bar during happy hour on a Saturday afternoon. Y'all have got to do better. read more

Good food, but really slow service. Took 2 hours to eat on Black Friday. Enjoyed the burgers and tacos. But may just order to go next time. read more

Graham should find a new job - unless being rude, incompetent, inconsiderate and hostile a part of the job experience. she made what we wanted to be a happy experience with friends one that we can laugh about and from now on talk about why we will never go to Poes again read more

We had an early dinner here on a Saturday afternoon. The food was good and the ambiance was all Poe decor. Our service was mediocre. I would recommend trying this restaurant out while visiting Savannah. read more

Terrible service, mediocre food. Never got appetizer that was ordered, Waitress cane to our table once while we we there. Orders were wrong. Was going to spend twice as much as i did. Finished our food and left. Shocked that this place was rated 4 stars. Will not be back. read more

First visit to this location, which is in the Plant River District. I'm very open inside/outside dining concept. I had the black cat burger, and it was messy and wonderful! Got a side of their hand cut fries (wish they were thicker) and also ordered an extra side and chose their blue cheese coleslaw, which is phenomenal! Full bar with lots of craft draft beer. Ate at the bar, and the bartender was attentive and gave great service. read more

Poe's is one of my favorite places to stop in Charleston and Savannah. Edgar Allen Poe is one of my favorite authors and the ambience and decor really tickle that niche vibe for me. The food is always so good! I had the veggie rue morgue last time and it was just a slutty mess of queso and chili and cured every ailment I've ever had. read more

Lunch today, meeting a friend in this neat eatery. It was a warm day so all the doors were open and the breeze was lovely. We had great service and enjoyed our meal. A beer (yes, I had a beer with lunch on a workday!) and their chicken quesadilla appetizer as main. Plenty here, this was a good lunch portion. Stuffed with chicken and cheese. Perhaps a little greasy from the grill but that's what napkins are for. The only challenge with Poe's is finding parking. [Review 19350 overall - 585 in Georgia - 320 of 2023.] read more

Food was good, indoor atmosphere is super neat with Edgar Allen Poe theme. I've never seen anything quite like it! Even the bathrooms are lined with his works. Food was not bad at all but Chicken breast was way to large for the bun and it was super hard to take a bite. Shoestring fries are always a hit for me, but the shredded cheese on top (when they have delicious bubbly melted cheese on their burgers?!) was a huge disappointment. Salmon tacos were good too, but tortillas were over cooked on bottoms. We also got drinks, myself a spicy margarita. That was delicious but they only serve plastic drink ware on the patio, and my drink was half filled up so for 13$ it wasn't worth it at all. read more

45 minutes before our server returned and I explained our food hadn't come out. The rest of the party had finished their meals. We then received the coldest, stalest, and dry food I've ever seen. We simply ask to microwave it but then 15 minutes goes by with no sight of our server. Finally, they say they will pay for our meals and make them to go. Then, to get our checks and leave took yet another 20 minutes. Everything about the experience was poor even down to the Diet Coke. Would only recommend going if you don't plan on eating. -PS read more

The best server Seth took care of us like we were his only customers! Then he asked the cook if they could tweak my fish tacos and they did. They were out of this world! I absolutely recommend you try anything here. Been here around a week and hands down, best food and service ever!! read more

Salmon tacos were amazing and service was great, nice spot to try when in Savannah! Highly recommended place to visit if you're here.

This place was cool. Good service and food. Poe is everywhere for the writer lovers from the prints in the walls, quotes and the names of all the burgers. Highly recommend the veggie burger for your choice. Best I've had read more

I really wanted to love this place but based on what I had (the pit & pendulum burger) I was unimpressed. There are several burgers to choose from- standard cheese burger, bacon & cheese, one with Charleston style crab cake, pico de gallo and so on. Mine was the applewood smoked bacon and cheddar cheese burger with tomato, no lettuce or pickles and I opted for no side since the burger seemed pretty sizable on its own. I was excited for the fried onions in the side; however when I got my food my inner voice shouted "what is this?!". They forgot the fried onions (I asked for a side) and then the cheddar cheese was barely melted. Now don't get me wrong, the patty itself was cooked how I asked and tasted fine, but some of my brioche bun was soggy and then the burger was dry- there was no mayo, aioli, mustard or anything to really tie it together. There was ketchup and mustard at the table side, but I suppose I expected more. The burger was okay, at best but really nothing to write home about. Next time I would try another type and hopefully it will change my perspective. Our server Jonathan was great and super friendly. The ambiance was sort of sports bar which was nice since we had a view of the game and the tvs at the bar. I like that the location is walkable, it was about a 7 min walk from our airbnb. read more

Overall, good service, flavorful food. Came here on Sunday evening to grab a bite to eat. Because it was warm outside, we decided to sit out there and eat. Our waiter came after a few minutes and took our orders, and our food came out pretty quickly. My family ordered the quesadilla in the sleeper, and I ordered the gold bug plus with a veggie patty with the sweet pepper goat cheese. I really like the burger because the patty tasted pretty good and the sweet pepper goat gave it a unique but delicious flavor. My family also liked their food, and finished their plates. And they give you a ton of fries so you can't go wrong with that. Overall, it was a great dining experience, and what you could expect from a sports bar. read more

I've walked by this place several times, and have always wondered why I never tried it. I met my friend here who was in town on a Saturday around 11am and we were seated immediately. This place doesn't have deserts, but they do sell some Leopold's cups of ice cream. We were a little bummed about that - but the food here was really good! We started off with the loaded fries, and they were so good. They came with chili, cheese, and scallions - delicious combo that almost left me too full to eat my entree. I opted for the buffalo shrimp tacos and my friend chose the burger. The tacos were SO GOOD! the pieces of shrimp were huge and juicy - my mouth is watering now as i type. my friend said his burger was amazing! (a little over priced, but amazing). service was great - our waitress was so kind and patient. I hadn't seen my friend in about 6 years so we got sidetracked with conversations a lot. this side of downtown has a few free parking spots, if you get there at the right time you're good to go! read more

I am a disabled veteran with serious joint issues. My wife and I walked in and the hostess pointed us to a table with chairs. I asked for a booth which is easier for me to sit in. She told us none were available even though the place was completely empty. I highly recommend folks stay away. Very very rude and inconsiderate service. We left. read more

Delicious hand cut fries. Well seasoned hamburgers. Quick, friendly service. Edgar Allan Poe themed.

My wife and I were in town on vacation. We wanted a casual but nice place to go near the river hotel we were staying in. Post Tavern was wonderful. The service was excellent. The food was tasty and cocktail fit the bill. If we're ever in that area again, we'd be happy to eat there. read more

Didn't even stay to eat. Filthy bathroom, ripped, food and drink stained menus, dirty air vents inside, dirty glasses with specks of food floating in my water. Funky smell inside. We sat outside and there appeared to be what resembled human feces on the wall. We canceled our order and RAN read more

I work downtown, so know the area and where to go. I had to be at work a little earlier, so my wife went to the restaurant to get food, and was bringing it back to me. She got there at 8:10pm. She placed her order for two quesadillas, and a Rue Morgue to go. It took over an hour and a half for the food, while the woman kept telling my pregnant wife, and two small children, it would be 20 minutes. When the food finally came out the chicken quesadillas were just shells, no chicken, and not even enough cheese to keep the shells together. My Rue Morgue was ONLY fries and the under cooked veggie burger. No chili, no cheese, and no egg on top. Literally missing all the ingredients that made the dish. My wife said something about the food and the hostess, or whoever it was, just shrugged it off. My wife then asked for a manager and they refused to get a manager. Now it's AFTER 10pm, so almost 2 hours, and I now had to work all night without eating that day. My pregnant wife got to eat a tortilla shell. Not only will I not come back there, and the place I work has all said they will no longer go there (they order lunch from there commonly), but we will definitely tell other people to avoid the restaurant. Way to make sure you lose business by not making the food that was ordered, taking hours for to go food, and then shrugging it off as if your business doesn't matter. This place is garbage. read more

Poe's Tavern - Rue Morgue. Well, supposed to be. It is really just soggy fries and half a veggie burger. No queso. No chili. And No egg. - Burgers Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

Two thumbs up for the chicken amontillado sandwich, as well as our server who patiently let my two friends and I catch up over a long lunch!

Fire service. Bartender was great (chandler). Made me a bomb ass tequila fashion. Made my girl a pink drink that she loved

I got a veggie burger with Swiss cheese and it was SO GOOD. One of the best veggie burgers I've ever had. The inside was super cute and obviously Edgar Allen Poe themed which I was obsessed with. The service wasn't great. It wasn't too busy inside but our servers never checked on us. It took them awhile to take our orders and then after we got our food we didn't see her again until she brought us our check. It seemed that way for everybody, the tables around us weren't being checked on either. read more

We went on Friday night after Thanksgiving after touring the Christmas Market on River St.. a very busy night.. but to our surprise, we were seated quickly, our drinks came fast. Justin was our server and he was great! Between the 5 of us, we tried a variety of entrees from the menu. The food was delicious, the fries are great (hand cut, but not too thick and not too greasy) and the blue cheese bacon Cole slaw, . We would recommend and go there again! Nice atmosphere and well themed decor! read more

We popped in for drinks on a hot, humid Saturday evening. The bar was not too crowded, off the beaten path of all the tourists. It was cool inside and there were a few empty seats at the bar. We sat down and the bartender immediately brought over some drink menus. There were several interesting Edgar Allen Poe inspired cocktails and over 20 kinds of beers on tap. I wanted to try a local beer since we were visiting Georgia. Our bartender was friendly and happy to give some samples. I first tried an "Emergency Drinking Beer" which sounded intriguing and was good; just not what I wanted. (More of a fruity sour; but I did like the name!). She actually suggested I try a few different beers to make sure I wasn't just "settling." I chose the "Orange Diva" beer because it was a blood orange wheat beer that was brewed in Georgia. It was perfect and only $7.50. My husband had an old-fashioned that he really enjoyed and it was just $12. There were several friendly locals hanging at the bar while we were there, and we had fun talking with them. The decor is minimal; but definitely Poe inspired: church pews at the entrance, a large brick portrait on the wall between the bar and entrance, pages of Poe's books lining both bathroom walls, and a library shelf of old books at the end of the hall. I would definitely visit this place again for drinks or maybe try a meal. read more

Just off River Street and between Bay Street a lovely old Savannah fire station. Welcome to Poe,s Tavern. As a local sadly I hadn't heard of it maybe that's because they've only been around about three years. The atmosphere is lovely with a beautiful outside patio and more beer choices than anyone would ever need. staff was very friendly, offered up some great suggestions. I had one of their hamburgers which I rate in the top five in Savannah! And was able to choose my side of chili. I must say again in my top five chilies as it's more meaty than beans. Don't want to highly recommend it because I don't wanna get it so crowded. I won't be able to get in. So come on down but save me a seat! Highly recommend don't walk run! read more
