    Smothered rosemary porkchops with side of baked mac n cheese and corn bread.
    Chris W.

    Hidden GEM in Savannah that is located outside the tourist district. It's small and cozy, decorated with inspirational quotes inside and out, adorned with plants bring life to the dining area. The BEEF POT ROAST AND GRAVY was so good on my first visit, I wasn't sure I could order anything else. However I built up courage to try the SMOTHERED ROSEMARY PORKCHOPS. OMG...my new favorite. Super tender, moist and covered in a savory gravy. You select two sides. I love the CORN BREAD and BAKED MAC N CHEESE. I haven't tried any other sides yet. Corn bread is fluffy and buttery with touch of sweetness, while not being sweet. Baked mac n cheese is just pure goodness. This is delcicious down home cooking. It is comfort food. The owner is super friendly and hospitable. She works the order counter and I suspect she is integral in the food prep.

    Very nice people. My Honey and I had dinner about 7pm. They close at 8pm. You order at a plexi-glass window. We had two people aged of us and it took a while for her to take our order. I orders were pot roast, green beans and mac&cheese, fried chicken collards and mac&cheese. The fried chicken is cooked to order. We ate at the reaturant. Seating is limited. We were challenged by the neighborhood beggars inside and outside. The food was okay nothing to rave about. The best part was the Mac& cheese. The collards taste out the can with no seasoning and the pot roast had no flavor. I first had scraps of the pot roast but asked for more meat and I was willing to pay. Meals were served in carry-out container and we used plastic utensils. The total was about $48.00. This meal was not worth that much especially being served with plastic items. I would not vote this resturant as the best soul food.

    Ordered fried chicken, mac and cheese, broccoli, ox tails, and collards. As other people have said, the collards weren't very tasty because they're basically vegetarian. The chicken was a bit dry, but the breading was good. The oxtails were way over salted and it was just too much. The mac and cheese was enjoyable.

    We had dinner here!

    Service was great. Restaurant was clean! I loved all the little posters, photos and positive plaques. They ran out of sweet potatoes but were quick to get me something else.

    Seriously some of the best food I've ever had. First time ever having oxtail (literally fall off the bone), mac and cheese and spinach. All of it top top notch!

    Every time I come and trying something new the food gets better. And the owner (Rachel) is such a beautiful person. Her daughter is always nice and helps me make up my mind when I'm too hungry to make a decision. ‍

    I've lived in Savannah for a few months now and eaten pretty well. This was hands down the best meal I've had since moving here. And the service was not just friendly but warm and welcoming. I will be back a LOT.

    Fried shrimp plate with yellow rice, greens and mac.
    Brittany D.

    Came across this location through a yelp search. The young lady taking our order was very polite and friendly. Funky classic rnb playing in the background. Indoor deco was like an indoor garden. Great variety of items on the menu. ( breakfast is served all day) I opted for the fried shrimp rice plate that included two sides. (10 medium shrimp on a bed of yellow rice- white rice is also and option, macaroni and cheese and greens so good make me wanna slap your mama lol) I highly recommend!!

    I'm a sucker for a good sign!

    This is a place where the name says it all. It's very inviting and not only are the staff nice and attentive, they make you feel at home! With that being said, the food is. . . made with love! I've been a few times before writing this as I didn't want the excitement to overshadow the truth. I'm here to tell you that some things can be too good to be true but this is not

    Pot roast

    This place is phenomenal, honestly each dish here is more delicious than the next. Completely from scratch! When I tell you the flavor/ seasonings are spot on...! Perfectly cooked....Heaven!!! Miss Rachel & staff....thank you for literally putting your heart and soul into this place.. it shows and I will be back several times a week

    Me waiting on the meal of a lifetime!

    Definitely a great soul food spot in the city. The food was soooooooo good! Stopped by while visiting from Nashville. Mark my words, I WILL BE BACK!

    Visiting Savannah for the 3rd time but we will definitely be back here! Jaylan was our server and…read morehe was excellent. He has great customer service and made sure we had everything we needed. It will take some time to get your food if you get the fried chicken but it is worth it! It's cooked fresh to order. Hubby ordered the ox tail special with mash potatoes, green beans, mac and cheese. Daughter ordered four piece fried chicken with sweet potatoes, and I ordered the three piece fried chicken with greens. Some of our sides were an upcharge but it was worth it. Everything was delicious, we shared our sides. Hubby ordered banana pudding and finished it before we got out of the bathroom! The bathrooms are unisex and so clean and cute! Overall we really enjoyed our meal and had leftovers.

    I was visiting from out of town and discovered this spot on TikTok, so I decided to give it a try…read more There was a slight wait to be seated, but once we were at our table, our server greeted us promptly and took our order without issue. The food did take about 30 minutes to come out, which was a bit longer than expected. Overall, I'd rate the food a 3.9 out of 5;it was good, but not quite exceptional. One thing to note is that there's a 2% fee added for dining in, and some of the menu prices felt a bit on the higher side. That said, it was still a decent experience overall and worth trying if you're in the area.

    Where to begin. There was hype of this restaurant and it lived up to it all!…read moreIt is a beautiful home that is a restaurant along a street with old homes and trees lining and overhanging the road. 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!!

I got the "cheeseburger" but I don't like cheeseburgers so I ordered it with just meat and bun and bacon, it was so good! Probably the best bacon hamburger I've ever had! The bun was on Brioche bread and the patties were so nice, juicy, tender, and full of flavor, and the bacon is even better! It's so nice and well cooked, charred around the edges and so smoky and flavorful with this nice glazed coating on it! Best bacon ever! I would definitely recommend this meal! Same for Max's fired chicken! It was so crispy and juicy! Also full of flavor! For those who come, all of the staff are so kind and welcoming, I got this girl named Aya, she was so kind and was a great waitress for our table! Please come and try this restaurant!

    Come here two Saturday's in a row because it was so good! Was a bit deceived with the name, lol…read more I'm Haitian and was hoping it was Haitian food, but this Caribbean/Southern spot hits the spot. The staff here is so sweet! They really help with making decisions and even offer samples if you're indecisive(like me). They wear masks when packaging food and have an outdoor seating area. Both times I got my food to go, and was in and out pretty quickly. The homemade tropical punch is so good! If ordering a "made to order" menu item, expect to wait about 15 minutes. The curry shrimp is one of those items and I was not disappointed. My friend also got curry goat and the pork chop and both were SO GOOD! As always, I do wish they have more meat, but this is something I'm used to from Caribbean restaurants. BUT- they have all things on the menu when I went in, something that doesn't always happen at the Caribbean joints I'm used to. This is the second Caribbean spot I've tried in the Savannah area, and this is tops!

They charge you more to get the same sides, with the dishes that come with 2 sides. There were a few other things that surprised me, that made me not want to go back, like certain meals you can get at lunch, but not dinner and they didn't have any lamb dishes available and they pushed the goat, which was full of sharp bones. I think I'll stick with Island Breeze.

    Great service. ! Kind a quirky but cool place…read more My wife ordered the flounder and crab and I had shrimp and grits. Crab dip appetizer. Appetizer was great. - really nice The only reason for 4 out of 5- very little / non- existent crab with slightly too fish my flounder.

    I'm going to start off by saying that I am visiting Savannah, Georgia for the first time and within…read morea day of my travels, this place was recommended to me twice. At this point, I didn't know if this place was actually that good or if it was a tourist trap. Initially called the restaurant to see if I needed to make reservation orders or if I can walk in, was told that they typically take reservations, but if I were to walk in now, I would be able to get seated. Decided to take our chances and dine in by walking in. There were plenty of seats. Hosts greeted us, but we're not very friendly. Got seated immediately. The table we were at, maybe I was sensitive, but the light that dangles from the ceiling onto the table was not low enough and aligned with our eyes. Uncomfortable honestly. Our server was very quick, you can tell she wasn't trying to work that day. Cornbread was complementary, wasn't very tasty to be honest. Extremely dry, even the jam was helpful. I opted for the New York steak with fries, nothing wow. My boyfriend got the award-winning house fried chicken with pecan sauce on the side. It was pretty good fried chicken, but not something to always come back to. Honestly, we were very disappointed because this place was very overhyped. I'm glad I tried it, but it's not something that I would recommend because it was mediocre.
