Must-try restaurants in Savannah

Savannah is all about Southern charm and slow sips under Spanish moss. With cobblestone streets, historic squares, and a food scene that keeps evolving, it’s where hospitality and haunted tales go hand-in-hand.

Romantic, a little spooky, and always delicious — this city’s doing the most. Your dining experiences should too. We cut through the noise and filtered out the fluff.

These are the top restaurants travelers genuinely rave about.

No visit is complete without:

Shrimp and Grits: A Lowcountry classic. Rich, savory, and wildly satisfying.

She-Crab Soup: Blue crab, sherry, and cream in perfect harmony.

These dishes are the heart of the city’s flavor, and nearly every top restaurant puts its own spin on them.
