The Pirates House - (Near Savannah, GA)

5 /5 Chinmaya Poopal: We had a fantastic dinner here! The restaurant is set in a beautifully preserved historic home that feels like stepping back in time. While they are famous for their award-winning fried chicken, the Shrimp and Grits stole the show for me—hands down the best I’ve ever had. Incredible staff and delicious food. Also, having a large parking lot in Savannah is a huge plus

5 /5 Elizabeth Peatee: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wow!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our group of five had an exceptional experience at The Pirates’ House in Savannah. It’s one of those rare places where history, atmosphere, and fantastic food all come together to create something truly memorable. The historic charm of the building makes it a unique stop on its own, but what really sets this place apart is the warm, friendly staff and the consistently incredible dishes that keep you wanting to return. We started with the fried green tomatoes, calamari, and corn fritters, and each appetizer was a standout—crispy, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. For our entrées, we tried a range of options: the gumbo, the fish special, the blackened snapper, and the fried chicken. Every dish was cooked beautifully, full of rich Southern flavors and generous portions. Whether you’re drawn in by the pirate lore or simply looking for a great meal in Savannah, The Pirates’ House delivers on all fronts. We loved it and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

5 /5 Stephen Chandler: The Pirates’ House is a must-visit stop in Savannah for anyone who enjoys great Southern food with a side of history! Located just a block from River Street, this restaurant dates back to 1753 and was once an inn for sailors and, according to local legend, a gathering place for pirates. You can still feel that old-world charm in every creaky floorboard and historic room. I ordered the shrimp and grits, and they were excellent — plenty of flavor, the perfect portion size, and beautifully balanced with just the right amount of spice. There was also a great looking buffet with lots of options to choose from. The staff was friendly and full of fun stories about the building’s past (ask about the tunnels!). Whether you’re a foodie, a history lover, or just in search of that classic Savannah experience, The Pirates’ House delivers on all fronts. Highly recommend!

5 /5 Abigail Scott: Such an amazing experience at The Pirate’s House in Savannah! The history alone makes it worth a visit. it’s the oldest restaurant in Savannah, dating back to the 1700s, and you can truly feel that charm and rich history throughout the space. The staff is so knowledgeable and eager to share stories about the building’s past, which makes dining here feel like stepping back in time. Tom was our waiter and did a fantastic job. Even with a packed house, he was friendly, attentive, and on top of everything. The food was excellent, and came out quickly. the shrimp and grits were hands-down the best I’ve ever had, and my husband’s fried chicken was amazing (it’s literally half a chicken plus sides!). Not pictured are the Low Country spring rolls because they disappeared before we could even take a photo, they were that good. If you’re visiting Savannah, The Pirate’s House is an absolute must. Make sure to take the full tour and visit the gift shop upstairs.
