It’s a must if you are in the area. Outside Erin gave up so much interesting history while we waited to be seated. And Marcia was the absolute sweetest. They treat everyone like family.“

“Not an overrated tourist destination. The olde pink house is a must try during your trip to Savannah. Serving up southern classics the food is amazing.Starting off with the homemade cheddar sticks. That are crispy and delicious.We ordered the homemade pink lemonade which was light, refreshing and not too sweet. We decided to be adventurous and try the shrimp and grits sushi roll. It did not disappoint, savory and salty it was everything I needed.The strawberry arugula salad was nice and light. We were able to split in two and it was the perfect size.Max's friend chicken comes and half a chicken, but you're able to ask for pieces which is great. I got just the dark meat and it was the best fried chicken I've had in a long time. Perfectly crunchy and moist. The Mac and cheese had a nice oven baked top with a gooey center.“

“The food here is delicious, but their prices are ridiculously high. Service was great and the waitress we had was amazing, but the additions of being exceptionally kind and having good food is not enough to make us desire to come again on my budget. I literally spent over $100 for 3 small meals and 3 regular drinks. I guess you could say that this was fine dining at it's best, and people should know that this is not a place for those who are living on a budget, but it was a great experience.Parking: It's very difficult to park in this area, but Sunday gives you a break on paying.“

“I went with my sisters and my mom to this restaurant on our girls trip. It was amazing!! First, they remembered my name from when I made a reservation in person and greeted me right when I walked in. The staff was so incredibly sweet. They went above and beyond to make our experience great. They had a wonderful mock-tail menu and the bartender made sure to tell us all about them. Get all the veggies! They were amazing! My sister is gluten free, and they were very accommodating for her. The staff was very involved with serving us, always making sure we were well attended to. They were also great at conversation. I thought I lost my camera, so I went back and every server tried to help me find it. I could not say enough about how kind they were to us. Friendly staff, great drinks, very clean, and amazing food! We will definitely be coming back!“

The homemade chips were nice and crispy.The fried oyster sandwich has the perfect fry.“

“My 4 star rating is not to say that the quality or taste of the food wasn't great. It's more about the limited selection of the menu. We were a group of 4 and really had a challenge to order something we were familiar or preferred. So, not any fault of the restaurant, but our mistake perhaps in not doing the research.“

“The atmosphere is very dark and sexy located at the bottom of the Alida Hotel. The service was friendly, but sometimes could lack attention. But the food quality surpasses everything, and it is definitely worth a visit. The prices are not that high you would spend just as much money as going to a P.F. Chang's or a Cheesecake Factory. This was a little bit too salty for me but for the appetizer we got CRISPY CALAMARI BANANA PEPPERS, CALABRIAN CHILIS, PARSLEY, CILANTRO, ROSEMARY AIOLI. My main entree was the best burger I have ever had. It was the first time I could eat a burger without it sliding off the bun. From the bun to the sauce to the cheese and pickles everything was perfection. RHETT SMASH BURGER TWO BEEF PATTIES, AMERICAN CHEESE, RED ONION, PICKLES, NORFOLK SAUCE, OLD BAY FRIES. And dessert was just okay for me to much cream not enough banana. BANANA PUDDING WAFERS, VANILLA PUDDING, CREAM“

“We read all the reviews and had to go see for ourselves . It is a very common place. What? I like to call hole in the wall. Nothing elaborate family owned and operated, Real plain jane. That is until the food gets to your table, that Is where the fun begins . The French toast, I believe, should be renamed, Cinnamon bun french toast. It was the best French toast, hands down, I've ever had. You can eat it without the syrup. I had the link sausage, sliced And pan fried, I could not eat it fast enough. The eggs were perfectly cooked to my order and golden crispy hash browns. My wife ordered a vegetable omelet. Which, she said, was the best she has ever had, which came with hash browns and the largest, fluffiest ,lightest biscuit ever...I can't wait to return and try their gravy dishes. I would give this restaurant a six, if the review would allow just on food quality and taste alone“

“This restaurant was fantastic! I cannot say enough good things about it! The staff was informative and attentive and made sure we always had whatever we wanted. The atmosphere is great and restaurant was clean and fun to be in from start to finish. I loved the overall atmosphere because they have made it so you have privacy with your group but there is still a larger experience of the restaurant. The drinks and bartender was fantastic and efficient! The food was also amazing! I had a series of oysters as an appetizer and then a scallop risotto that was perfectly cooked. I am Italian and super picky when it comes to risotto and this was great risotto. The scallops were perfectly cooked. My husband got a chicken Caprese which is a somewhat lighter version of chicken parm and it was flavorful and light and tender. Dessert was also fantastic. I cannot wait to come back here!“
