    Chicken and waffles
    Reixa C.

    9/20/2025 - Party of 4. No reservations. We were told about 20 minutes. We walked upstairs to their rooftop bar and patio. Our waiter was excellent, very friendly and polite. We had 3 sangrias, and a rosemary sweet tea. We received a text that our table was ready so we cashed out upstairs . We sat and looked over the food menu. Our server, Juliana came out and greeted us. We told her we needed a few minutes to look over the menu. She was gone for quite sometime. After she came back, I ordered chicken and waffles and my friend ordered a quiche. We did not see our server for the longest time, I got up and ordered two sangrias from the bartender. She told me "I don't like taking money from the servers, I'll find out who the server is and I'll send them over" which I thought was odd. I wasn't going to open a separate check. I was just having her make the drinks for us and putting them under our tab. Our food arrived, The waffle had no taste and was overcooked. The chicken tenders were ok. They gave us a small container of syrup. The plate was so plain. I had a taste of the quiche and it just tasted store bought, very bland. The server finally shows up and tells us the sangrias are coming. We finished our meal. The drinks were brought by someone else. We told her we were done with our meal and we did not want them. Our check was brought by someone else. Basically our table was forgotten. Absolutely the worst brunch. Both food and service. DO NOT RECOMMEND. It is not worth the hype at all!!!!

    We stopped here while shopping and regret it. We were so hopeful that it would be good since it had a cute rooftop. However, were so disappointed. The place is dirty. There is mold on the bathroom ceiling, the floors had food all over them, the walls are super scuffed up, and the floors were sticky. The food... well, the guacamole was completely brown, the salsa looked like it had sat out for days, and the pineapple on our drinks had mold on it. Therefore, we didn't end up eating the chips and salsa or the drinks. Therefore chicken and fries were decent and the waitress was kind. However, we would not recommend going here.

    Rooftop bar

    Found the Grove while exploring Savannah on a Monday before work meetings. We found the rooftop and were the only customers which made the experience more pleasant. We initially sat out on the patio but it started to rain so we moved inside. Drinks and food was all good, and our server/bartender was friendly and gave us some tips on places we could visit during our trip. I would go back if I lived here, a nice causal spot downtown with a nice view and cozy ambiance.

    We made a reservation for brunch which didn't seem necessary once we were in there but we also got there right when it opened. They wouldn't seat me until my husband was also there, which was annoying given the fact that no one else was even here. Service was fine, she did the deed well. This seemed like a cute spot for you to come with your girlfriends and do brunch, very bright and simple...Martha Stewart's vineyard vibes. Everything was done very well, the waffle and potatoes were delish. My husband said the breakfast sandwich was good too!

    Rooftop view

    A great place to sit on the rooftop on a nice night! The rooftop menu had just what we were looking to eat for dinner. The waitstaff also frequently checked in with us throughout our experience.

    Yes, we were a large group, but we also had orders in BEFORE we got to the location. Even with that, the wait was painful. The MAHI TACOS - Three wild-caught mahi tacos drizzled in a brown sugar jerk sauce, topped with a pineapple relish and cilantro lime cream sauce were actually decent enough to make for a two-star review rather than a one.

    I've been to The Grove in Savannah many times and usually have a great experience, which is why this visit was so disappointing. We went to the rooftop on Sunday when it wasn't busy. It took about 20 minutes for our server to greet us, which we didn't mind. However, his attitude immediately stood out. He was dismissive, rude in tone, and REPEATEDLY walked away mid-sentence while we were speaking. After checking our IDs, his demeanor noticeably shifted. We are of legal drinking age, but it felt like we were treated differently because we were younger. As someone who is ServSafe Manager certified and has worked in the service industry for years, I know how important guest interaction and basic courtesy are. This was not handled appropriately at all. He carried himself as if he were running the place, which felt very off-putting given how we were being treated. He was the oldest server working on the rooftop, so it was very clear who he was. After checking our IDS, His demeanor made us feel uncomfortable and unwelcome, which is not something we've ever experienced here before. We've always enjoyed coming to The Grove, so this was surprising and disappointing. I hope this was just a one-off experience and not reflective of their usual standard. wouldn't mind paying $16 for a drink if the service was at least halfway decent...

    great good, super cute! fun cocktails and food was very delicious. i would definitely go back and recommend it! the rooftop was super cute too

    Pink Parody
    Alana R.

    A beautiful rooftop. Terrible drinks - we ordered the Rosemary Sweet Tea and 2 Pink Parodies. Both drinks were not good. The atmosphere was fine. Weather was perfect. Service wasn't bad, they were busy. We left as quickly as possible.

    Charcuterie board

    I ordered the charcuterie board and Cajun Angels to go. The Cajun Angels were delicious and definitely the highlight of the meal. Unfortunately, the charcuterie board was extremely disappointing, especially for the price. At over $27, I expected an actual assortment of cheeses, but instead I received what were essentially large pieces of cheese rind with very little edible cheese. There was also no fruit, nuts, or other accompaniments that are typically included on a charcuterie board--just a few slices of meat, bread, and dipping sauces. It felt incomplete and nowhere near worth the cost.

    Rooftop hoppin!! We came to check out the view and grab a few cocktails as we enjoyed Savannah during a recent trip. Kept it simple with a Don Julio Reposado and a Ketel One lime and tonic to refresh us. Alejandro at the bar was friendly and great and the vibe on the actual rooftop was chill. Convinced us to also try the summer Capri pouches which were refreshing and gave a great buzz. We didn't do food, but when you enter from the main entrance, lots of people were grabbing lunch. We even stopped by a bit later to see what the evening was like and it stayed busy with traffic so assuming the traditional menu of food was good.

    Stopped in at The Grove on a Saturday afternoon to watch March Madness. Great set up with a nice bar in front of a large screen TV. Very friendly service! Great stop!

    Cool place. Service wasn't great from the start. Also, ordered a $8 mocktail and added a shot of casamigos which equaled $23 (no itemized receipt). That's fine but, my drink had a bug in it as soon as I sat down. When I showed the bartender & asked if I could have a new one, she said it was the risk of sitting outside? (I was holding the drink the entire time so it was pretty obviously in the pineapple juice can or something.) For $23, kinda wild. *Edited to add stars* manager and downstairs staff were great & made me a complementary to go drink!

    Good for kids?

    I don't think so, especially not at dinner. It's more of a bar with food and loud music than a restaurant.

    How are they handling COVID-19?

    The staff is wearing masks and their tables are cleaned after each group of customers. Their downstairs is spaced apart already so feel they have decent separation. Upstairs bar is spaced apart as well and feel you will feel safe there

    Is it pet friendly?

    I didn't SEE any outdoor seating, so probably not🤷‍♀️best to call and ask it was March when I was there, perhaps they do have outdoor seating in the summer?

I ordered the footlong hot dog, and it was one of the most unique hot dogs I've ever had. Instead of serving it on one bun, they split it across two buns with different toppings on each half. One side was topped with sloppy joe, while the other had chili and relish. It was a fun idea that let you enjoy two different flavor combinations in one meal. It also came with a generous portion of crispy waffle fries, which were excellent. Everyone at our table enjoyed their food, and the prices were very reasonable, fitting the casual diner vibe. My only real criticism was the speed of service. There were only three occupied tables when we visited, yet it took about 35 minutes for the first plate to arrive. The last person at our table didn't receive their meal until nearly 45 minutes after we ordered, which seemed unusually slow for how quiet the restaurant was. The other thing worth mentioning is that the menu varies quite a bit between locations. This restaurant's menu is heavily focused on breakfast. While the food itself was good, it would be nice if the menus were more consistent across locations. Having to research which location serves which items takes away from the convenience of a unified brand. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and would definitely return for a quick lunch. The food was tasty, reasonably priced, and the creative footlong hot dog alone is worth trying.

    Alligator Soul has quickly become one of our favorite restaurants in Savannah…read more The food was incredible. We had the frog legs, duck frites, a wild boar ribeye special, and the swordfish boat catch of the day. My wife actually said the wild boar was the best steak she has ever had, which shocked me because we have eaten some very good steaks over the years. They also brought us a complimentary bowl of turtle soup, which was something I never expected to try, and it was fantastic. What really separates Alligator Soul, though, is the entire experience. From the small welcome bite at the beginning of the meal to the little treat at the end, the staff makes you feel taken care of from start to finish. The hospitality, atmosphere, and attention to detail are exceptional. My wife is gluten-free, and the number of options available to her was also incredibly impressive. She never felt like she had to settle or miss out on the experience. For years, The Grey was probably our favorite place to go for a special dinner in Savannah. After our experiences at Alligator Soul, this may have taken that spot. Outstanding food, remarkable hospitality, great atmosphere, and one of the most unique dining experiences in Savannah.

    This was one of the most unique restaurants I've ever been to!! Hands down!…read more Our server Hannah (and trainee Sydney) did excellent job explaining the menu and making us comfortable ordering unusual meals. I must say that Hannah was superb at her job!!! Service like hers is a rare gem these days. I never thought I'd say that I like alligator. But it was part of the charcuterie board as an app, and it was delicious (along with other items such as homemade hummus, jalapeño/cheddar sausage etc) For mains, we opted for Elk special, fish special (unfortunately don't remember which one it was exactly. Maybe flounder), and Wild Bore (my personal favorite by far!!). We thoroughly enjoyed our salads, apps, and meals. And how can you say no to fresh beignets?! We had their summer special - warm peach one, and traditional. Aaaaamazing!! Atmosphere and decor were magnificent too. It's located in the basement, so it made our experience even more unique and fun.

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.
