Great ambiance in this restaurant located in the oldest house in Savannah. Many paintings and historic pieces located throughout the 16,000 sq ft. Although the lobster roll and flounder were too heavily salted for my palate, we received great service, the seafood was fresh, and the BLT salad was especially good!

Had an amazing anniversary meal here in the basement area. We were unable to get a reservation the day before because apparently they book many weeks in advance but have a few rooms available for walk-ins on a daily basis. We got there around 4:45 before they opened at 5:00 and we were fortunate enough to get in right away. We split the fried green tomato appetizer, my wife had the chef's fried chicken, and I had the crispy scored flounder. The fried chicken and flounder were among the best I've had of each, as was the mac and cheese that came with the fried chicken. The Conners, gets, and fried green tomatoes were small excellent. Great vibe and service too. Highly recommend for a nice meal out. We will definitely be back when we visit next time.

I would have given it 5 stars but the portions were so small. I had the fried shrimp. Probably like 10 small shrimps and a spoonful of slaw. If I had known it wasn’t much food, I would have ordered a side dish. It was not very filling. I had to eat some of my husband’s entree. He got the chicken fried steak, greens, and mashed potatoes. It was a good portion. Service was great! Loved the house.

Every moment here is a pleasure, The upstairs is white tablecloths and elegant dining. Downstairs is a quaint dark theme oriented bar. Waiters and hostesses were very friendly and efficient going out of their way to help with any need, including getting you a pedicab. Special secular sauces and chef prepared entrees make dynamite here worth any price: No dry, burnt food here!Downstairs was the musician Kenny Munshaw, a famous chart topper from the nineties who is tonight the quintessential piano man. Simultaneously a host and a performer he converses easily with the crowd and performs standards and my request, and yes I tipped him.My mother and I loved it, found the $35.00 plate prices worth the quality, and will definitely be back. I found the sweet potato ravioli wonderful but add a protein like the blackened chicken.

We ate there tonight at 8pm and someone was singing very loudly on the 2nd floor. Did you hire this woman to go around and sing or was this just a patron who decided to attempt to ruin everyone’s meal?We skipped dessert because our food took forever- we were there 2.5 hours for a table of two.My chicken and collard greens were amazing.But the loud singing was just terrible and ruined the night.We have loved the Pink House but this was an awful experience. I couldn’t wait to leave.

We recently had the pleasure of eating lunch at The Old Pink House in Savannah, and it was nothing short of exceptional. Nestled in the heart of the city, this restaurant boasts a menu brimming with Southern charm and flavors. We started our meal with the ‘Southern Sushi’ and the ‘Blue Crab Beignets,’ both of which were a delight to our palates. While it was a tough competition, the beignets, with their perfect blend of savory and sweet, edged out as our favorite.For our main course, we indulged in the flash-fried scored flounder, which was exquisitely prepared—crispy on the outside, yet succulently tender within. This dish was a flavor revelation that tantalized our taste buds with every bite.The desserts?! Don’t even get me started. I can’t even try to put those into words - you’ll just have to experience that yourself. There’s a reason this place is still around and is one of Savannah’s longest standing restaurants.To accompany our sumptuous meal, we toasted with a bottle of Nicolas Feuillatte Reserve Exclusive Brut Champagne, which was the epitome of bubbly perfection. It added a luxurious touch to our already splendid lunch.The Old Pink House is more than a restaurant; it’s a culinary experience that embodies the spirit and taste of Savannah. It’s a place we’ll definitely return to, and we recommend it to anyone looking for a meal that will be remembered long after the last bite is savored. While you’re there, say hello to Rachel and Cheyanne! They’re super friendly and inviting.

Holy cow! What a gem! I loved The Olde Pink House. Max’s fried chicken was some of the best I’ve ever had. The history behind the house was really extensive and interesting. With over 16,000 square feet, you’d imagine there might be a few empty tables. Nope, the place was packed. Service was top notch, food was as good as advertised, and it sits in the heart of beautiful historic Savannah. Make sure to reserve days in advance. Dinner was booked out, so we went for a late lunch. Best experience in awhile!

The food and service were good, but it was impossible to enjoy. I have visited Savannah several times but never ate at the Olde Pink House. So, I was excited when my girlfriend and I made a reservation. Unfortunately, from the moment we walked in, we felt off. We sat silently for almost the entire meal, and our two small dogs, who usually sit quietly under the table, kept standing up, looking around, and trying to leave. We all felt a strange and almost horrible vibe. At one point; I told my girlfriend that I felt terrible things were done in this house before it was a restaurant. It wasn’t until after we left that I looked into it. The house was, in fact, subject to horrible things. The original owner, James Habersham, was not only an advocate of slavery but was the person who established a direct slave trade between London and Savannah. Subsequent owners also kept slaves in the house, and many were children who died in the house from yellow fever. While the restaurant does its best to stick to a traditional Southern vibe, it also exacerbates the issue. Both my girlfriend and I felt it, and we couldn’t wait to leave. Like I said, the restaurant itself has great service and good food. But I think people should be aware of the building’s tragic history. It is not something to be proud of or cherished.

Really nice old building/restaurant. The building has a lot of charm, best to visit for dinner when it’s dark outside to get the full effect of the internal lighting. The drinks are fantastic. We had the Tacos and the fried whole flounder. The tacos were great. I’d give the flounder about a 7 out of 10. I gather it’s a long time classic but the sauce didn’t really pair all that well for me. The crab Beignets were excellent!
