We came here on a Friday evening after arriving in town. We didn't have reservations but were able to get a table fairly quickly upon arriving. The menu had a lot of great selections, and there was an extensive drink menu as well. All of the food came out quickly and was really good!! The service was great and prompt. I would definitely recommend coming here if you were looking for a place for dinner on River stret read more

This place was good and the service was great, the only complaint would be the portions and what you pay for them. It tasted great, but not a lot of food. read more

The food was very good. I had the fried shrimp and my wife had the shrimp and grits. service was good. Unfortunately since we didn't have a reservation we had to sit outside where their patio seating was. It was cool out. It would have been nice if they provided outdoor heating. read more

Beautiful dining experience. The menu well planed pure Quality in presentations and delectable culinary skills. The service is truly outstanding, welcoming and timing is perfect. It is a rare and precious dining experience read more

Best overall experience we had on our trip. Priced fairly, great food and portions, excellent view and our server Nick was tremendous. We did upstairs in the restaurant they also have a restaurant down at street level on the river. Highly recommend read more

I stayed in Savannah's historic district for a work trip and this was by far the best meal I had. Most of the restaurants in the area are tourist traps and the food is absolutely sub-par. The service at Vic's was stellar and all of the food was delicious. The portions were large and I felt like I got my money's worth. The oysters were big and flavorful. The fried catfish and cheesy grits were hearty and I especially liked the sauce that was on the grits. And the Daisy Duke cocktail was well balanced. I could've had at least six of those. My only con was paying $3 for a "french baguette" that was about 3 inches long. I highly recommend this place and would definitely go back if I'm in Savannah. read more

The service and ambiance at Vics is top-tier. Our server was very attentive and even asked if we were enjoying the flavor of the food. Yes, the flavor was on point. I ordered grits and a side of salmon that was cooked to perfection, even had a little crisp on the ends. Everything was amazing. Great place to dine while down on the river walk. Everyone at our table enjoyed Vic's Notable mentions: Caesar salad Chicken & Waffles Fried Green tomatoes Smoked cheddar grits Grilled Faroe Island Salmon read more

Waiter was fantastic! Lobster and shrimp tacos, out of this world! Great vibes, and great view of the river. read more

Worst meal in seven days in Savannah Salad looked like it was sitting for a few days, rotten lettuce, mealy cucumbers, and darkened edges on all the rest Soup was not made recently Fried green tomatoes were edible Manager decided that 20% off a rotten salad was a nice gesture. After I paid I spoke to the manager who now felt it was a good idea to comp the salad- basically if I made a scene earlier they would comp the entire salad, but while I was polite to them they thought 20% was fair. Don't be cheap to customers who don't complain loudly. And please avoid this place at all costs. Savannah has many great places to eat- this would not be one of them read more

Stopped here for lunch. Drinks were amazing. Lunch was decent but wasn't blown away. I had the catfish sandwich and the bread got a bit soggy. The chicken salad was a bit underwhelming as well. The crab was delish though. Service and ambiance was impeccable. They had outdoor seating by the water but it was a bit warm. Would definitely come back and try something else on the menu or just come for drinks. read more

We stopped by for lunch and were pleasantly surprised!! The BLUE CRAB BEIGNETS were lightly fried to create a subtle crunch!! I had salmon, paired with grits and collard greens. The salmon was flaky and the grits were smooth and creamy!! The collards had a small spice kick, but very flavorful!! The ambiance was very nice!! The steamboat backdrop was everything!! Excellent dining choice!! Definitely will do a return trip!! read more

Great location, cool ambiance, cool painted stone walls, and I love the fried green tomatoes and grits...

Great food. Had the chicken and waffles. Great service. Was afraid of mediocre restaurant in tourist area

Great service and delicious food. Everything we ordered was well seasoned well and cooked to perfection! Crispy fried seafood platter and delicate crab beignets!! The she crab soup also had a tomato-ish base twist if you're into trying new twists on dishes. Reservations are recommended if you have a larger party and they also serve brunch. read more

Had the Shrimp and Grits at the bar. Was able to walk-in, sit down and order fairly quick. Piano man was super talented, and the bartender was quick with a pour. The shrimp and grits had an awesome flavor and a good texture. The little bread bites and honey butter was a nice touch too. To the table full of SWAT guys swapping g stories - you made the meal worth it! read more

This is such a cute spot that we stumbled on during a quick visit to River St. to grab pralines. One look at Yelp showed it had great reviews so we stopped in for midweek brunch. I was immediately pleased with that decision when I saw the super cute decor. I felt a little underdressed but there were plenty of seats so we sat. Our server greeted us pretty quickly and took our orders. Apps came out pretty quickly and our entrees came in a reasonable amount of time, but after our meals came to the table our server go missing for long periods of time. We waited a long time for her to bring our check and had to extend our meter parking timeframe as a result. The food was great. I tasted the crab beignets. They were very gooey/creamy inside which was unexpected. Flavor was good. I also ordered a Caesar salad which I enjoyed very much. Perfect amount of dressing and croutons. For my entree I went with the catfish and grits. The grits were in the middle of the bowl with a tomato based sauce surrounding them, it wasn't a thick or creamy sauce, it was more water like than anything but had good flavor. The catfish was lightly badgered and fried and placed on top. I enjoyed the dish and ate it all. I ordered a white sangria based on the ingredients but I couldn't taste anything more than sparkling wine. It was just ok. Overall I'm glad we stopped in and I would return here or to the sister restaurant Vic's on the River. read more

Had a fun lunch at Vic's River Grill in Savannah. We ate outside with a view of the river and paddle wheel river boat. We started with ginger and lemon Mules- one with vodka and one with bourbon. Very refreshing. We ordered their slow cooked pulled pork sandwich with slaw on a brioche bun, and crispy fried oysters served with house fries, tartar, baguette and cocktail sauce. Both were very good. read more

Stopped by for lunch, and atmosphere is lovely!! I ordered the chopped chicken salad which was amazing! Mother had pork shoulder eggs Benny, which she said she's had better but still good. Dad said the burger did not have flavour. Sister said her chicken club was just okay, but garden salad was great! Cocktails were very good! Good price. read more

We had a last minute visit to Savannah over Independence Day weekend. Vic's was a great spot for an early dinner without reservations. It was a short walk from our hotel that took us down along the river. Service was friendly and hospitable. The blue crab beignets were very tasty. My spouse had the airline chicken and enjoyed it. I had the shrimp and grits and the portion was very generous. We left satisfied. And were too full to try dessert. The ambiance is cute and southern, with retro black and white tile floors. The bar had a piano, so I think Vic's might be a great place to have a glass of wine and enjoy some live music. read more

I stopped in while walking down River Street. It looked like the most popular place that I had passed, so I had to give it a try. The catfish and grits was AMAZING!! I may come back again this week just to have it again. read more

Very busy nicely decorated restaurant with a piano player and a busy bar. Their old fashions are perfectly made. The seafood is extremely fresh and well priced in a tourist area. The Mahi was a winner as was he shrimp and grits. Service is attentive and friendly. read more

The original plan was to go to Vics on the River but apparently you need a prior reservation and we had a party of 6. The hostess advised they had a sister restaurant by taking the elevator to the 1st floor. We were told it'd be an hour wait so we decided to walk around. We finally got seated at 8pm. The lady took our order... came out with the mussels as appetizers and then we waited.... and waited... for an hour for our meal. We were ready to leave and told another passing waitress to let our waitress know so we could pay for the appetizer and that's when the lukewarm food came out just a bit past 9... which means our food was sitting...and I guess we were just being ignored. My burger was really like a big Mac (taste) but with an English muffin... so it was different. My son had a buttered pasta with chicken... supposedly a kids meal but not reflected in the pricing and it was DRY. Waitress got some sauce used for the shrimp and grits for him. Wish I got a pic. The kids grilled cheese was good. The shrimp and grits were good... the salmon meal was ok as well. Receipt: take a look. Auto tip was 20% but it must've been done manually as we were charged more . There was no apology for the delay in food. Very unimpressed and bad impression for our first ever meal in Savannah. read more

First time at this restaurant. Our server was so helpful. She inquired what type of food we were looking for. She suggested the Waffles & chicken which really good. Hot honey & syrup. Inside was really nice. Also seating outside. We will return plus the server gave us tips on parking for our next visit. A win win. Great job & beautiful day. read more

We had a party of 7 of which I was the only vegetarian. So, my review is limited but still worth posting. Everyone seemed to really like their meals - shrimp and grits + catfish and grits. I (and another person in our party) had the four cheese ravioli with roasted garlic cream sauce, blistered heirloom cherry tomatoes, artichokes and fried shallots (or leeks, can't remember) which, by description, sounded delicious. Very disappointed in that the sauce tasted like a basic cream sauce, the tomatoes were just regular RAW halved cherry or grape tomatoes, the artichokes were the canned kind with that weird brine flavor (I ate those separately so as to not ruin the taste of the actual ravioli) and there were just a couple shreds of fried shallot (the only thing giving any flavor to the dish). My rating is primarily based on the meal I had. For the type of restaurant this is and what they charge for the ravioli, they need to put a little more effort into this dish and not mislead by the description offered on the menu. Otherwise, the ambience and service was great! read more

Absolutely loved this place. We visited 2 days in a row! Imagine sitting out on the river walk with a bottle of sparkling rose. We had 2 delicious salads. The portions were plentiful and the food was very and tasty. The key lime pie for the win to top it off. Next time, I'll try their fine dining restaurant. read more

The environment and vibes of the restaurant was excellent. You would think the food would match but i was sadly mistaken. The food was a good but i wouldnt recommend putting a burger on an english muffin. 2 bites in the burger was falling apart. the "wagyu" meat was dry & the fried oysters were a hit or miss. To put it in simpler terms, i wouldnt recommend coming here. Just because a place looks fancy & clean doesnt necessarily mean the food would match your expectations. read more

The service was very good. We loved the food. The fried green tomatoes were three best here than any other restaurant we tried in Savannah. The crab cake and soup was yummy too. Overall great ambiance and yummy food. Highly recommend this place. Great location too. read more

Great drinks, food, and service. I got the shrimp Caesar salad. It was fantastic and we got 2 orders of the blue crab beignets, which were exquisite. However, the bathroom did smell quite repulsive, from sick patrons from the previous night, perhaps. read more

We were disappointed by the service and food around here. So we kept walking until we reached this shop.

After trying Vic's on the River, we wanted to check this spot out. Lovely interior and kind servers. My food was a grouper in a tomato brother and was mouth watering. I ate every last drop, trying to steal bits of the broth even as the waiter came to take our plates. My husband got the scallops but were weren't too keen on them. They were alright in taste, and the portion was very small. They gave 3 scallops on a very small bed of couscous . One dish was a hit, one was mid. The she crab soup is a major highlight! When in Savannah, she crab soup is the way. read more

Context: went for the first time on a Friday night in December. Was able to be seated right away. Cute ambiance especially for the holiday season. Service was great. The fish & grits was good but it comes in a tomato sauce which kind of takes away from the flavor of the gouda grits. Although the fish batter was good and crispy the fish itself lacked seasoning. The rum punch was really good. The holiday drinks were just OK. read more

My husband & I were traveling with our 2 dogs. We went to the riverfront area to explore the shops & grab some lunch. Since. We were with our pups we were looking for a restaurant with outdoor dining. We stopped at VRG by chance. As soon as we sat the server brought over a bowl of water for our dogs. It was a warm day & we really appreciated it. For lunch my husband ordered the blackened catfish over a bed of cheese grits. He really enjoyed it. I had a mixed salad with blue cheese crumbles & fried chicken breast. It came with green goddess salad dressing which was absolutely delicious & obviously homemade. I'd love the recipe for that. The highlight of our lunch was my husbands Bloody Mary. It came garnished with a big piece of bacon, a stuffed cherry pepper, okra & lemon/ lime garnish. Definitely Instagram worthy. My pups enjoyed people watching & getting pets from the people walking by. It was a nice lunch & a good place to take your canine friends. read more

Tyler made the best French 75 in Savannah! We tried four others in different locations, but he is spot on! Yum!!!! Love the atmosphere beautiful location, so pretty in here! And by the way, good music too! read more

Great location! Right on the river. We stopped for just a drink at the bar before a later reservation elsewhere. That night it was a convivial crowd--all talking like old friends, but actually all folks passing through Savannah, staying overnight, and loving it. A friendly vibe and good drinks. The bartender was busy but could have done a better job of acknowledging our presence sooner--the wait was inevitable because the place was busy-- but eye contact and a nod would have made this a 5-star review. read more
