Love this place when we visit Savannah. The steaks are incredibly aged and always cooked to your preference. The service is great very welcoming and always there to take care of you. The atmosphere is a mix of old time steakhouse but with a coastal flair. Let also say the seafood is fresh and the lobster tails are massive and juicy. This is a spot if you are looking for a night out great bar or an intimate romantic celebration. read more

We decided to give this restaurant a try since we've passed by many times and noticed the parking lot is usually full. I ordered the seafood-stuffed salmon, while my fiancé ordered the 8 oz filet cooked medium and a side of mac & cheese. The salmon was cooked perfectly, but the stuffing was a bit of a letdown. The menu mentioned shrimp and scallops, but all I could really taste was cream cheese. The mashed potatoes on the side were just okay. My fiancé's filet, was seasoned well and cooked as ordered. The mac & cheese had great flavor, but unfortunately, the noodles were undercooked. They were chewy and rubbery rather than al dente. If the pasta had been cooked properly, could have definitely been the best dish of the night. And I definitely can't forget the espresso Martini, definitely a 10/10! read more

So I was looking for a nice steak dinner for my stepmom and I and after a bit of searching, we settled on this spot and it was a jackpot. We were seated immediately and had our drink order taken. My stepmom and I had the ribeye and my dad got a baked potato and a salad. The steaks were massive and sooooo tender. Honestly one of the best meals in a while. Simple and just done right. Another highlight for the evening was our server Lylah, who was spot on and amazing. Her service and the food made for a memorable dining occasion. I finished the night with some cheesecake that satisfies a sweet tooth. Highly recommend this place, you won't be disappointed. read more

Great steak, great service, and a cool, laid-back atmosphere! A little pricey but ya get what ya pay for!

Great service, food, and the live piano was at the perfect volume during our early dinner Saturday night. We had the Mahi with risotto and a side of whipped mashed potatoes read more

I walked in to order to go. It looked like they don't really like it but anyway they agreed to it. The wait was pretty long so I ordered a beer at the bar, then half an hour later my order was handed to me in a plastic bag, even though I saw Client living with a nice Paper bag with their leftovers. when I got the bill I saw that they had a charge for "to go" so I waved the tip and when I got home, I saw that the salad was missing! so honestly, I'm glad I didn't leave any tip and by the way the salmon was very salty, I don't think I will go back over there ever. read more

At first glance, we didn't think we would be able to be serviced with the parking lot compeltely full and cars parked around the side of the building. We were pleasantly surprised to be seated immediately. We loved the atmosphere, which felt quant in spite of a huge amount of seating. The food here is absolutely excellent. We tried some delicious fried green tomatoes with a twist as an appetizer. Next, the Steak was melt-in-your-mouth and able to be cut with a fork. The side dishes were tasty and perfectly cooked. For dessert, we ordered some bread pudding which was equally yummy. Very rarely does a meal deliver on all points, but this was an amazing first experience. The awesome food had service to match. Our waitress was both attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. They're doing great things over there in Richmond Hill: an area where they could easily be mediocre and still successful as the only game in town. They don't skimp, and do a fantastic job. Don't get scared away but the premium steak option prices. We were able to find some real gems that were affordable and equally memorable. Give them a try! read more

Been a long time since we were here so thought I would update the review Started with French onion soup. Amazing. The depth of flavor was so nice. Then I had the crusted halibut on risotto. So good and perfectly cooked. They have some great cooks here. Deb got the surf and turf special. Filet and scallops. All cooked so well. Steak cut like butter. Just an amazing place. Service and atmosphere are so nice. Haley took good care of us. read more

This is becoming our go to place as we transit between NC and FL. Serious steak. They do their own butchering. No "creative cuts". By-the-book butchering. Which means the kitchen can count on a consistent product. Result? Great steak. And they are serious about gluten issues. Sauces are made without wheat flour roux. And they are delicious. We had 5 oz filets. Perfect. Serious bar too. Shout out to our server Lylah for double checking on gluten issues for us. Chocolate pot au creme - divine. Cocoa is the star but not over-powering. read more

Definitely not a 5 star review for this steakhouse in fact a 3 star review is a little of a stretch. But I have to be honest to people who read my reviews and let them know.......for the price? I won't be back but I think the locals like it. read more

I was excited to try this restaurant, as we are in town for our one year wedding anniversary. Unfortunately, the only good thing was the ambiance and the dirty martini. Our waiter ignored our existence, didn't bother telling us any of the specials, walked away from the table when we were trying to order more drinks, and took my empty glass without asking if I wanted anything else, resulting in me having nothing to drink with dinner. The meatloaf was overly salty and the steak and mushrooms seemed like it was flavored with only black pepper. I was so hopeful, but sadly, incredibly disappointed. read more

Really solid steak house on the outskirts of Savannah. They have a nice southern ambiance and it's perfect for a nice night out. Service was great, they came by at the right frequency. Really liked the fried green tomatoes as the appetizer. I also got the wet aged bone in strip steak. My steak was perfectly seasoned, just the exact amount of saltiness that I like and it was a good sized portion for the price. It chose the green beans and potatoes as my sides. Good complements to the steak and the green beans were very light. Really enjoyed it! read more

One of my favorite places to eat in southeast Georgia. Every time I come here I tell myself I'm going to try something different and I always end up ordering my favorite the porterhouse pork chop and a side order of mac & cheese. I've also had the steak rolls and onion rings for apps. They are both delicious. The hubby had had different steaks, strip, ribeye, and had enjoyed them all. And the mil loves the salad and steak and mushrooms. read more

The food here was incredible...The restaurant is situated off the interstate and easy to get to. It's in an area you wouldn't expect to have a fine dining establishment. But upon entering, the restaurant gives a welcoming feeling and is family friendly...the food is the best we have had in Richmond Hill, hands down. We have passed this place so many times. And now we will be making this a regular stop! read more

The foods and service were fantastic. We had the crab cakes (the accompanying sauce is good on vegetables too) and the pork chops, and we would highly recommend both. It was higher priced that what I would expect from a restaurant with $$ in their yelp profile, but the food was definitely high quality and worth it. read more

I didn't order the steak well done, this was the steak hard and dry, green beans were salty, fries still hard in the middle. I have been there many times and food always been good, love their steaks! this's the only time feeling disappointed, a little bit concerned should give another try read more

We made reservations a week in advance for 6 couples on a Monday night- we were told that they would Not do separate checks and would prefer cash. We all arrived together and were seated promptly. We had two servers and the one had No personality. Received the bill and the one server acted like we were taking too much time . A 22% gratuity was added to total of the bill. Not very customer friendly!! read more

Not impressed. We went here for my wife's work holiday dinner and I was disappointed overall. The food was mediocre and the service seemed slow, even with three waitresses assisting us. I did however love the ambiance of the restaurant. They also didn't split the check for us so everyone had to figure out their own bill. Now this was told to us ahead of time, but it's 2024. I am not sure why they don't invest in the technology to be able to split the bill for better customer service. An additional positive was the piano player in the main entry room. I am not sure if we will ever go back though. read more

Did my research before going. Nicole the bartender was amazing... I was feeling adventurous so I had the fried deviled eggs ehhh they were ok,the sauce was delicious and completed that dish..For dinner I went with the meatloaf. Hands down the best restaurant M.L.

The food was wonderful & Taylor was a perfect hostess. The only reason I gave a 3 star rating, is because the bartender likes to short any mixed drink. We were charged for 2 shots of premium liquor but we're lucky to get one shot. When asked, we were chided by the bar tender & told we were charged for exactly what we got. Customer Service at the bar is NIL. Very sad for such a nice venue. read more

I now understand why this place is a local favorite and raved about around town. I hate that I waited so long to experience them but glad I did. If you want a good steak dinner, this is the place! I highly recommend the steak tips with mashed potatoes. Beautiful ambience, great for date night. read more

Claire our server was excellent. We both ordered Bullett Ryl Old fashions that were delicious. For my entrée I had steak and scallops and my husband had a salad with steak on top. The steak was perfectly done as were the scallops It came with green beans and a scalloped potatoes. The only negative thing I can say is that the green beans were way too salty, otherwise it was a wonderful meal. I would definitely go back. read more

What a wonderful dinner experience. We were celebrating my wife's birthday, and it was a special night. I had the 16 ounce ribeye steak, with baked potato and garden salad. My wife had the sirloin tips with mushrooms, mashed potatos and garden salad. Ourvsister-in-law had the sea bass, and Carole's brother Tony had the ribeye also. Our waitress was very attentive, and even brought my wife a lit birthday candle on her dessert. Great outdoorsman atmosphere with mounted Elk heads above the bar. Very pricy, but worth it. read more

17 and I 95. A must check out for a great meal!!! Asked for a good restaurant nearby. They recommended Local on 17. Well, they recommended correctly. Beat the Christmas dinner crowd. Ordered a couple of adult beverages. Very good. We ordered the green fried tomatoes topped with light sauce and corn relish with cheese. Excellent!! Different than the typical ones served with marinara sauce. We ordered the petit filet with sautéed green beans with garlic. Great flavor. Also ordered a baked potato that came out with great crispy skin piping hot with all the fixings. Ordered the Heritage farms double cut Porter house pork chop topped with a light whiskey glaze. Incredible flavor!! Had the baked potato as well and poured a little of the whiskey glaze on top. Amazing!! All of our dishes were served piping hot the way they should be!! Great holiday atmosphere with the piano serving up great Christmas songs. The hostess was spot on ensuring the table next to us was level and not rocking. Most hostesses wouldn't even bothered. The only steakhouse like this around the area. read more

Everything was perfect about our first experience here! Greeted immediately at the door, seated promptly with our reservation time, server was above and beyond great, food was all amazing, same with the great alcoholic beverages. It was our kids 16th birthday and I put that in the reservation notes (I wasn't expecting anything) BUT they had a hand written birthday card waiting for him at the hostess stand!!!! And they came out with a slice of amazing cheesecake with a birthday candle on it after our meal! How great and special is that?!!!! I couldn't give this place a higher tip if I tried! So great. read more

I cant remember ever seeing Steak Alfredo as an option on the menu at any of the steakhouses Ive been to. Finally! It was delicious too. The sauce was creamy, the noodles tasted like they were made in house with a unique shape to match, and my pieces of steak were cooked perfectly in the center. I was dissapointed in my blackberry old fashion. The whiskey tasted cheap. I then tried a Sangria which was ok but huge. I also took a star off because most tables had what looked like complimentary bread but we were never offered any. The fries and chicken that my daughter had were both very flavorful. The restaurant has a upper country ambiance. There was even a piano player right when we walked in. I would recommend making a reservation. We had a 35 min wait without one on a Friday night which isnt too bad. read more

What a great find while on the road! The Local on 17 is a fantastic steak house! We were lucky to get there right before they opened at 5pm because there was already a line to get in. We were greeted and seated right away and our server came to take our drink order shortly after we were seated. The restaurant has a rustic steak house feel. Right after we placed our dinner order a gentleman sat down at the piano and started to play. Honestly, I looked at my husband and said, "could this be more perfect!" Our salads were good then our steak and green beans came out and both were cooked to perfection. I would definitely recommend The Local on 17 to locals or anyone traveling by on highway 95 that needs a good meal with awesome service. read more

I was working in Savannah on a Wednesday and was going to meet up with a customer later for dinner. So, I YELP'd Steakhouses. I saw Local on 17 and it had fantastic reviews. I mentioned it as an option to my customer. They said they had been there and enjoyed it and they had fantastic steaks. He did warn me it was pricey, but I was eager to eat a great meal and willing to splurge for my customer. Now, I was all the way near Television Circle in Savannah around 5pm. My GPS put The Local on 17 as a 45 minute drive. My customer said they were 50 minutes I got there first after my long drive and walked in and was met by the hostess when she asked "Just one?" I said, "No, table for two please, my friend is about ten minutes behind me they are on 95 almost here". She then said, "Well, let me know when they get here." I asked if I could just be seated and she said no I'd have to wait until my full party was here. I was stunned. I think she could tell I was a bit taken back. From that point it felt surreal, I didn't really feel welcomed. The hostess never made eye contact with me after that. She'd clean off a table walk past me to the hostess stand and literally ignore me. I was getting rather upset. Now, I'm looking around and count no less than 15 empty tables or booths. If it was just me, I would have walked out and dined somewhere else. But, I didn't want to make a fuss because my customer was so eager to share the restaurant with me. So, I waited. My customer showed after about 15 minutes. But, this time instead the original hostess acknowledging me (us) to be seated, she ducked away and let a second hostess seat us. It is worth noting, although a couple more tables were seated during my wait, there were plenty of empty tables. I would have ordered some appetizers and drinks. I shared what had happened with my customer and he offered for us to go somewhere else. I said no , "We're here. Let's just enjoy a good dinner". However, he encouraged me to mention my experience with the manager. I didn't want to make a fuss. But, when the server arrived, my customer spilled the beans and I was now relaying the disappointing experience of not being allowed to be seated even though the restaurant had plenty of seating. Oddly, we never saw that server again. Instead a different server waited on us. Never did get a visit from the manager. We ordered our food and drinks and $144 later, we left. The food was great. Steak was very flavorful. But, the experience was horrible. I'm not one to make a bad review. But, given the service expectations when dining at a place that features high quality, thoughtfully prepared, food and "Ruth's Chris" prices, I couldn't let this one slide. read more
