    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    My wife had stir-fry - THE SAUCES! My shrimp and grits was one the best I've ever eaten.

    A great place with excellent service. Delicious Food. It's where Soul meets Seoul! Definitely should be one place you try in Savannah.

    The atmosphere here is absolutely amazing. Very laid back, with live music. The staff here are super friendly and very helpful. The food was amazing. Seasoned to perfection. The place is a must stop. Can't wait to come back.

    5 stars, Everything was great, the vibe inside was cute. Service was good and the food delicious! We can't wait to go back for the dinner items as we just had some lunch there.

    Good vibes and the band is amazing. I had so much fun and enjoyed every moment. Make reservations so you don't be disappointed.

    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!

    Shrimp and Grits
    Demor'a B.

    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! .

    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.

One thing to note is that there's a 2% fee added for dining in, and some of the menu prices felt a bit on the higher side. That said, it was still a decent experience overall and worth trying if you're in the area.

The host will assign you to your table with others to fill it up. 8 to a table. There is sweet tea waiting for you and dish after dish of goodness! Then they bring out the fried chicken on platters. 21 different bowls of southern dishes- okra, rutabagas, greens, beans, corn, biscuits and corn bread.... Oh my there was a lot.

They really help with making decisions and even offer samples if you're indecisive(like me). They wear masks when packaging food and have an outdoor seating area. Both times I got my food to go, and was in and out pretty quickly. The homemade tropical punch is so good! If ordering a "made to order" menu item, expect to wait about 15 minutes. The curry shrimp is one of those items and I was not disappointed. My friend also got curry goat and the pork chop and both were SO GOOD! As always, I do wish they have more meat, but this is something I'm used to from Caribbean restaurants.

Decided to take our chances and dine in by walking in. There were plenty of seats. Hosts greeted us, but we're not very friendly. Got seated immediately. The table we were at, maybe I was sensitive, but the light that dangles from the ceiling onto the table was not low enough and aligned with our eyes. Uncomfortable honestly. Our server was very quick, you can tell she wasn't trying to work that day. Cornbread was complementary, wasn't very tasty to be honest. Extremely dry, even the jam was helpful. I opted for the New York steak with fries, nothing wow. My boyfriend got the award-winning house fried chicken with pecan sauce on the side. It was pretty good fried chicken, but not something to always come back to. Honestly, we were very disappointed because this place was very overhyped. I'm glad I tried it, but it's not something that I would recommend because it was mediocre.
