This was a unique place. Inside was small but quaint. Immediately greeted and felt welcomed. I must admit I was nervous but the staff was great! We all ordered very different things. The barria burger was tender, my chimichanga was stuffed with ingredients, my husband wanted the half chicken that was a daily special but was sold out he ordered the tacos and he LOVED them. I believe they used butter beans instead of pinto or black bean and it was delicious The shrimp dish tasted of mayo Having Mexican coke was sooo cool! The food had a similar taste to it across the board. read more

We popped into Strange Bird after walking through the market in Forsyth Park. It's in an old trolley style diner. The food was Mexican -- adjusted for gringo tastes. The service was friendly, the food came quickly, and the prices were easy on the wallet. We shared shrimp aguachile and three assorted tacos. And trés leches for dessert - a real standout. I would not take an Uber across town to eat at Strange Bird. But if you're in Forsyth Park or cruising the Victorian district and you're looking for a tasty meal, Strange Bird is the place. read more

I ate here twice before reviewing. Twice in two weeks. Taste, service, consistency in taste and service, and prices...I'm hooked! It's a cute diner-style restaurant that serves mostly tacos, but that chicken sandwich is not to be overlooked. Not spicy, even if ordered so, but still undefeatably delicious, and you gotta get the tots with it. They're so crispy! Looking forward to going back and trying the tacos, a ranch water, and the tres leche (which is one of my favorite desserts). read more

The food at this place is unique and delicious. We had the Birria burger and refried butterbeans. We also had the tater tots. It was all novel and perfectly done. The restaurant itself was a redone train car. Very cool vibe, and the service was prompt, courteous, and friendly. We would highly recommend this place, it's the best restaurant we've eaten at in a long time! read more

The food and service are a 10 out of 10! It's a small place so you may have to wait a bit but totally worth it. Highly recommend the shrimp tacos and my son gave high marks to the chicken tacos and chorizo quesadilla. read more

So happy we found this place! It's in a cute airstream and has a very casual vibe. Our server Cara was wonderful, very attentive and helpful with the menu. We had the bombastic shrimp appetizer and it was delicious. My son ordered the chicken sandwich, it had pimento cheese and he got it spicy! He said it's the best he's ever had. My husband got the chimichanga and it was great, I ate the quesadilla with brisket. The brisket was tender and juicy! Very good experience. We will definitely come back when in Savannah. read more

Strange Bird is located in a well restored, 1967 vintage streamliner. It will certainly catch your eye when driving by, and the casual Mexican fare is yummy! We shared the Queso Fundido and enjoyed every cheesy bite! The crispy wings were indeed Crispy, but tender chicken on the inside. They were finger lickin' good! Service was friendly, efficient and we look forward to returning! read more

Found this place on our last night in Savannah, and boy oh boy I wish we had found it sooner. Restaurant is small and appears to be a refurbished rail car. It sits right on the corner and has limited parking with several spaces designated for SCAD. We are vegetarian so cannot tell you how the meats are. But every side we had was fantastic! Starting with my fave the refried butter beans. I've never had them before but I want them again! I need to find a copy cat recipe. The fried red beans and rice were equally as good. We also had the chips and queso-super tasty. They were out of the guacamole and I'm bummed about it because I know it would have been Scrumptious. Service was quick, they were pretty busy but we didn't have to wait long for our take out order. If I lived in Savannah I would probably eat here at least once a week. Can't wait until I'm back in town to eat there again. read more

Super cute little diner, and I would love to know the building history but I'm guessing it is legit vintage. The staff was cheerful and attentive. The menu was a step up from typical diner fare, and the picky eaters had plenty of choices to like. I definitely would return. read more

In Savannah for vacation and was directed by Air BNB host to Strangebird. They are located in an old 1960 metal diner that is elevated. Strangebird is definitely a step back in time. The vibe is nostalgic, retro and cool. The wait staff is attentive, helpful with suggestions and very friendly. The seating is limited and the AC is rocking. We ordered the queso fundido with chorizo, pumpkin seeds, pico de gallo, and chilis. The chips were hot and lightly salted. This selection was delicious. The series of three tacos were chosen: crispy chicken with garlic and lime; GA shrimp salpicon with cilantro and green chili; and the cauliflower and mushroom pastor. The chicken was dry and lacked flavor. The shrimp also contained minimal flavor and unremarkable. The cauliflower and mushroom was packed with and great pineapple flavor and was deemed our favorite. Our waitress also suggested the refried butter beans with cotija, Mexican crunchy corn, red onions and cilantro. A unique choice and good flavor. A great suggestion by our waitress. The nostalgic restaurant was fun but the food did not meet our expectations. Overall, we found the meal to be only average. We wish Strangebird the best and would be hard pressed to recommend. read more

Went for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. Great atmosphere and staff. Food had great flavor and were able to customize to dietary needs.

We stopped in for lunch around 3 on a Saturday! It was slight busy but we were lucky enough to sit down immediately. I love the decor in this quaint space, it's very nicely done. The tacos were delicious - 3 for 15$ so not a bad deal at all. I ordered the chorizo, pork, and chicken. The chicken was mild but juicy. The pork was a little dry but still very good with their house made sauces. My favorite was the chorizo which was mixed with peppers and delicious. They have a super cool drink menu as well, with alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks alike. I cant wait to come back again and try more of their dishes! read more

Very impressed!! I stopped by here on a Monday evening when I saw that they were open. Inside there were only a handful of people and eclectic music playing on the speakers. I had a seat in a booth, and my waitress provided me with the specials. I opted to go for the mushroom and cauliflower pastor tacos, crispy potatoes and Jamaica Agua Fresca. OMG! The tacos were absolutely amazing and definitely top 5 tacos I have experienced. Being vegetarian is not for the weak, lol. The crispy potatoes were good, but I wasn't a huge fan of the sauce on them, wish it would have been placed on the side. The Fresca was good, and refreshing, too. I hope they never take those tacos off the menu because they were so delicious. (They have a parking lot, too, so parking was easy and accessible.) I will be back for those tacos! read more

Our group of 7 were really tired after driving down after Hurricane Helene. This place was within walking distance of our VRBO. We ordered various meals and they were all EXCELLENT! The staff was so nice and efficient. It was a pleasant to eat there. No pics because we were conserving our batteries because our house didn't have power. read more

The food here was delicious!! My group ordered a few of their burritos and everyone loved them! With unique options on their menu, I would definitely check this place out if you're looking to try something new! The space is very small so there is limited room for big parties or groups, so we ended up ordering to go rather than dining in. The to go order still came out pretty quickly. read more

If you haven't tried Strange Bird yet you're definitely missing out!! A little gem tucked off Henry & Barnard - this streamliner is restored so nicely! There's limited seating inside, with a few tables outside on the sidewalk. The staff is very friendly and the service is quick. I got the French onion burger with a side of crispy potatoes. One word... delicious!! It was a crispy smash style burger served on toast with mushrooms, onions, cheese, potato chips and an onion sauce on top. Everything was perfect about it. The side of potato wedges were good too. Honestly, I would love the potato wedges with the onion sauce of them! Maybe something I'll try to customize in the future. My husband ordered the crispy chicken tacos. He said "oh I'll be thinking about these tacos tomorrow, they're so good!" 5 stars all around! read more

My normal Wednesday location was closed to I headed over to Strangebird tonight and am thankful I did. They had a Ramen Pop-up going tonight and I am happy I got to experience this and enjoy the food there. It's an old style diner so it is t large. Think there are 6 4 top tables and I think 14-16 seats at their bar areas. So don't expect large groups. The service there is wonderful and they all want you to have a good time and enjoy yourself while there. I had their pork dumplings which were very filling and the Keegan Fillion Tonkatsu ramen. If I had to give one detractor was the amount of pickled ginger in the ramen which I felt over powered the subtle flavors in the ramen broth. I'm thankful I got to eat there tonight and hope that they hold more of these pop ups in the future. read more

This little place will give you a unique dining experience not only because of cuisine fusion but also because it is an old school train. The chips tasted fresh and were perfectly thick and crunchy. We ordered a blackeyed pea salad that was very flavorful & fresh & went well with the chips. The corn was also very tasty, some of the best I've had and the presentation was also very fun. The veggie & chicken tacos were warm with gooey yummy cheese and there was a lot of depth of flavor. The banana pudding was creamy and the churro bits on top were a perfect addition! Our service was fantastic. Very glad we came here! read more

Talk about a local treasure! Located close-by Forsyth Park, this Streamliner was the perfect impromptu spot for dinner with my friends. We walked right in and sat at the bar which has ample seating. You know a place is good when the locals immediately start making recommendations with their favorite items. I had chips with guac and salsa, a salad, and the chimichanga which was a special of the night-don't worry, there were leftovers and they were just as good the second time around. The service was great, they had a decent selection of beers and of course their own version of a margarita. I'd probably go here once a week if I lived there. read more

It goes without saying that a restaurant in savannah is going to be a bit overpriced, that's just a fact of eating out here these days. That being said strange bird almost makes up for how much you're going to pay with big flavors and stellar atmosphere. If you aren't a scad student good luck finding a place to park, but if you can parallel park your way in line it's worth the trip. read more

I'm overwhelmed by how yummy this place is. And the old-timey-retro-hip diner vibe is spot on. The staff, Mark and Noel were personable and love where they work. So good! Don't miss it. I had the mojo pork tacos, partner had the chicken sandwich. Both were, "oh my god good". We then finished with the fresh churro with both spiced chocolate sauce and some dulce cream sauce. We'll be back tomorrow! read more

I've lived here for 4 years and have never been here until today. What a shame that I've passed it up until now!

Really liking this place, been here 2 times since they opened and both were great experiences. 1st visit I specifically came cause I heard they had a birria burger which immediately caught my attention cause I love birria so I was curious to see how it would taste on a burger. And wow it was super delicious, it's definitely a different take on traditional birria but it mixes so well with the burger and other ingredients they use that give it a very unique but enjoyable flavor. 2nd visit was to try the tacos and all 3 I had did not disappoint. My favorite was probably the barbacoa but all 3 were tasty. I think the mvp of both visits tho has to go to the crispy potatoes thanks to there Strangebird sauce which I absolutely love! The people that work here are nice and do a good job explaining what something on the menu is that you've probably never heard of. They also will have alcoholic beverages in the future so that's good. Overall great addition to Savannah, can't wait to come back. read more
