This place is banging - 10 out of 10 nothing less The interior is fantastic with a huge mural that spreads across one part of the wall. The service was very personable and efficient. I tried the Encore Street Tteok - amazing little rice sticks with a spicy sauce Lil Romi's Famous Corn Bread Cake with honey butter - its toasted and that just makes it so much better Korean Style Stir Fry with shrimp - very good portion with big shrimp and a flavorful sauce Japanese Melon Soda - gotta try this its so good! Definitely coming back here! read more

Bandshell was not on our list for our visit to Savannah but a quick Google search led us to this lovely spot and we'd definitely recommend stopping by if you're in Savannah!! It started with a warm welcome from the staff as soon as we entered the door!! Since we were a family of 5, a few tables were put together to make sure we could all dine together. After we were seated, we were offered some complimentary cornbread cake, it was a big hit!! There were 2 menus; food and beverages. The food menu was plentiful!! We had burgers, loaded fries, and salmon. I had the salmon with mashed potatoes, collard greens, and mac & cheese, delicious!! They even had mocktails, I tried the "They Not Like Us". I was expecting it to be on the sweeter side with the coconut shrub and blackberries to balance out the citrus but it was still tasty. Our server was Nyla, she was attentive, polite, and friendly. She definitely added to our experience! The overall decor, the service, and the food all made for a wonderful evening outing with the family! read more

This place is absolutely delicious! A fun Asian Southern fusion concept that really works. We loved everything we ordered, which included dumplings, ktx chicken (super crispy, excellent gochujang sauce) and the Korean stir fry. Kids loved it too. Corn bread was some of the best ever! The servers were friendly and attentive. There's a fun painted wall with jazz musicians and also a real piano in the back. One star deduction for table cleanliness, but otherwise wonderful dining experience. read more

I have to admit that when my significant other forwarded the listing for this restaurant, I thought we were going to the park to watch a band play at the band shell! While that might've been fun, that definitely wasn't what I was prepared for. It was much better! West broad bandshell is a very interesting concept, blending soul food and Asian cuisine to create an eclectic butt very engaging menu. We took some family visiting Savannah to West broad bandshell Friday night and had a great time! First, this is a decent sized restaurant with about 8 to 10 tables and because we had a large group of eight people they were able to seat us together towards the front of the restaurant right in front of the stage. Now one thing to note. For groups of six or more they do not split checks and there is an automatic 20% gratuity. In the day and age where date night includes multiple couples hanging out together, I'm always a bit disappointed to see this lack of flexibility. Especially knowing that most digital POS systems are not that difficult to use when splitting a check, but we were able to accommodate that particular wrinkle. Our table started off with cornbread, which is complementary and very tasty. Baked more like a poundcake loaf, it was really tasty with hints of cinnamon and brown sugar. From an entrée standpoint, the menu is really diverse. I ended up ordering the Asian slaw burger, which I know that isn't the name but that's the best way I could describe it. My lady ordered the Korean fried chicken and both entrées were huge but flavorful. We ended up taking so many to go boxes home after this visit. One of the highlights of the night was the live music. What seemingly started off as a single solo Artist performance ended up being a full band performance with a saxophonist, a guy playing a trombone, an excellent keyboard player, and the host doubled as both the drummer and the guitarist. Several people from the audience actually joined them on stage to do various renditions of neo soul, R&B, and popular urban pop. They also took request from the audience in addition to playing original songs so if you are a music lover this is definitely a set you want to check out. I would rate West broad band shell as a five star date night restaurant, but likely not the best fit for large families and group groups. read more

Walking in, I didn't know what to expect. The decor of this place is really nice. I'm upset I didn't take more photos of the inside. Our service was very quick and sweet. She helped pick drinks and recommended options for us food wise. The seared shrimp and grits was AMAZING. So flavorful and packed with shrimp. I was happy they did not give just 5 shrimp, it was filled with a perfect amount. The chicken and waffles were so tasty. The chicken was fried a little harder than my gf's liking but still flavorful. The only downside was sitting by the window. There were some flies hanging around so I'd definitely try and sit in the middle seats away from windows. I will definitely come back here however! read more

This visit to West Broad Bandshell started with a Google search for a nice downtown restaurant with plenty of free parking. The Bandshell fit that description, so reservations were made for the evening. The dining area is somewhat dark after sunset, so it is the perfect setting for a romantic meal. Yep reviews for the Bandshell mentioned numerous compliments about the cornbread cake and KTX chicken, so my order included those items. The cornbread cake was very tasty and sweet with plenty of melted butter and sugar included. The three pieces (dark meat only) of KXT chicken were crispy and hot. As it is one of their Center Stage dishes, two side items are included. I was very pleased with the food, service, and ambience. They also serve brunch on the weekends, so I plan to come back soon and sample that menu. read more

Okay this is definitely a hidden gem in Savannah. It's the perfect fusion of Asian and soul food. We ordered the dumplings (perfectly crispy), the shrimp po boy (with Asian twist it was INCREDIBLE), and the stir fry. All the food was so tasty! The staff is so friendly and accommodating. Only complaint is the restaurant is small and the service was a little slow, but I think they are new and working through kinks! read more

The live music was and atmosphere were great! I wasn't to sure off Korean Soul fusion, but it really was great and the portions were good!

We were greeted and seated upon entry! The restaurant gives you an old tavern feel! The food is made to order! We ordered the Hand-cut onion rings, Crispy Sweet Chili and the Calamari! The food came out quickly! It was fresh tasty! I enjoyed the crispy wings the most! Two of our party liked the wings so much they ordered wings for their entrees. I ordered the Green Line Bibimbap Bowl with Bulgogi Beef! My egg was a bit overcooked but my server ordered me another egg over easy and brought it out. The tofu was crispy. I enjoyed the bowl! All the components worked well together I personally wanted some yum yum sauce or sriracha mayo to bring it all together. My friend had the Shrimp and Grits and it was so good! The grits were creamy, the jumbo shrimp were cooked to perfection & the dish was cheesy! I plan to order that on my next visit! . read more

If you've been sleeping on West Broad Bandshell, consider this your wake-up call. This unassuming spot on MLK is, without exaggeration, one of the best places to eat in Savannah. The service is warm and welcoming, in that "you actually feel like family" way that's so rare to find. On my first visit, I ordered the Union Station Burger, and it immediately became one of the best burgers I've had in Savannah (and I've tried plenty). My colleagues were equally impressed: one had the Shrimp & Grits and raved about it, while another demolished the Rich Boy shrimp po'boy like it was her last meal on earth. We all left talking about how soon we'd be back. Less than a week later, I returned with my sister for a Sunday appetizer spread, and this is where Bandshell really shined. Here's what we ordered: * Lil' Romi's Famous Corn Bread Cake - This cornbread was unreal. I don't even like cornbread, yet I've dreamed about it every night since. Sweet, buttery, and perfectly crisped on the edges, it's worth the trip alone. * Korean Corndog Bites - Mini Korean-style corn dogs with a gooey mozzarella center, coated in crispy golden panko and dusted with sugar. Crispy, cheesy, and everything I hoped for. * Sweet Potato Fries - Simple but executed perfectly; hot, crispy, and comforting. * Loaded Jazz Fries - The star of the show. Sidewinder fries topped with bulgogi beef, cheese, scallions, bacon, aioli, and ranch. While eating them, I thought: "this might be the best thing I've ever put in my mouth." Then, in a surreal moment, another customer walked in, pointed at them, and said they had come back just for those fries. That says it all. * Hand Cut Onion Rings - Just onion rings on paper, but these were absolutely divine. Thick-cut, golden, and perfectly fried, with a house-made sauce that made them irresistible. * House Dumplings - Crispy and flavorful with pork, scallions, and ginger. Good overall, but if you have to skip one dish, this would be it. Everything else is just on another level. * Nappa Kimchi Crunch Salad - My sister ordered this one, and it was fresh, crunchy, and layered with flavor thanks to the sesame-lime vinaigrette and vegan kimchi. She ate every bite. Every single dish impressed, but the real magic of West Broad Bandshell is how they balance creativity and comfort. Their mix of Korean-inspired soul food is genius, and they execute it with care, flavor, and flair. If I could give them six stars, I would. Just go. I promise you'll thank me later. read more

Very nice place with good atmosphere, excellent staff and good vibes. Bar is excellent with lots of specialty options, and menu, while not extensive, has a wide array of options for every taste. I had the ribeye which was good but my date had the salmon which looked and tasted better. Calamari starter was excellent. This restaurant has live music on Tuesdays and comedy on Thurs (I think). Will be a great venue to see future jazz acts. Looking forward to returning. read more

Very cool laid back spot with a nice vibe and the food and drinks were on point! I will return soon

So I went there the other week for the first time ever in life I was greeted by this really sweet hostess, and then she sent me with a server who was just a joy to be around. She was kind of attentive and she was very sweet everybody was very welcoming even the chef, the owner and the bartender. I love this place and now I'm coming two times a week to spend my money. I love it read more

one of the best meals I've had in a long time. I ordered the BLT made with pork belly and it was to die for, our waitress Lisa was an absolute gem and knew her menu very well. She was attentive without being annoying. she persuaded me to have the sweet potato fries which were perfect. my friends all ordered the shrimp and grits and declared them the best the had ever eaten.... which is something for people who live in the south. I will go back soon. read more

My friend and I got food delivered while in town. I got the pork katsu and fries, and my friend got the shrimp and grits. We got the TTEOK to start. The delivery guy was at the restaurant for a long time waiting for the order. He said they had to remake one of the entrees but he didn't know why exactly. Something about the shrimp? Anyway, it wasn't hard to tell which entree was the one they had to remake because the other entree was cold, as was the app. So the shrimp and grits came hot and fresh, and delicious. The TTEOK app, the pork katsu and the fries were all cold. They might have been good when they were hot and fresh, but none of it was very appetizing cold. So, instead of making both entrees over so that neither of us had a bad experience they only remade the one and the other food was left to sit and get cold. Not impressed. This is a rookie mistake. read more

This is exact what Savannah needed. We really enjoyed our dinner here. They just opened up earlier this week and the food is perfect. No kinks to work out there. We tried the KTX chicken which was crispy, crunchy deliciousness especially with the sweet and not too spicy sauce. We tried collards, green beans, Mac and cheese and succotash sides. My favorite was the succotash- they put a Korean twist on the flavors and it was so yummy! My husband enjoyed his tender galbi dish served over mashed potatoes with daikon and carrots. We can't wait to come back again and again! Great friendly service too! Owners were really nice. read more

Could have been so much better if the steak plate was just hot. Otherwise the glaze on the steak was very tasty but wasn't pleasant to be eating it cold. The pasta Alfredo sauce with shrimp was also tasty but a huge bowl of pasta and only 5 shrimp. Service wise, we were arranged to order but after receiving our meals could t find our server for ages to get a knife. The complementary cornbread is delicious. We were there on the 1st Friday of the month but no music. I think the place has probably lost its luster since the early reviews. read more

Stopped in here visiting from Iowa on a complete random stumble! Met the owners right away and they were super conversational and welcoming. Regrettably, We had just eaten lunch before walking in but they shared some phenomenal grits. Being a bourbon and gin fan they talked us through different options and even let us sample some. No doubt this place is being operated by some fantastic people. The food I saw coming out looked amazing too. GO HERE AND SUPPORT THESE LOCAL PEEPS!!! read more

I'm posting this review like a month late but I need to do this because I can't stop thinking about the holy day we stepped foot in this place. This is not an over exaggeration but I think this was possibly the best meal I've had the whole past year. We came in for lunch and had the wings and dumplings to start, followed by the Southern Seoul BLT and Katsu Express Sando. The wings and Southern Seoul BLT were the standouts, but everything else was still also amazing. But PLEASE dear god make sure you get the sweet potato fries with the "crack" dip. It's like a honey butter, but we contemplated holding the server hostage for the recipe. You need to check out this place. read more

My girlfriend was recommended this place and we went to try it out. The food was amazing. I had the Union Station and my girlfriend had the Green Line Bibimbap Bowl and we both were silent the whole meal since we were so engrossed in the food. Our waitress was also really nice, and she would always get us just what we needed without us even having to ask. The vibes were great as well with good lighting and music. They also happened to have a Trivia night going on which we learned happens every Wednesday at 7:00. We really enjoyed this, and even though we lost, they still gave us a free Blueberry Cobbler just for playing! We had a great evening and will definitely be coming back. read more

OMG! This place is THE BEST! We have been out at all the "best" places in Key West, Key Largo, St Augustine, Jekyll Island and now in Savannah over the past 3 weeks. Sadly, we were more often disappointed than not in the food on this trip (perhaps because half the trip was over the overcrowded and understaffed holiday weeks, to be fair). West Broad Bandshell did not disappoint! Everything from the fantastic corn bread cake to the salad and shrimp entree was fantastic. We enjoyed the best beignets we ever had for desert. I wish we found this place on our first night in Savannah rather than our last. We would have come back every night! Nothing else we ate here in Savannah held a candle to this place. It is just plain simply and expertly prepared wonderful fresh food. Not to mention that the staff was so very warm and welcoming and the chef and his lovely wife let us guess what the secret sauce to their cornbread cake was. I haven't cracked it yet, but think I am halfway there! ;) A+++++ Rating (This comes from someone who very rarely hands out this level of praise!) read more
