Top 15 Affordable Restaurants in Savannah, GA

Elizabeth Dudley stopped in for a quick lunch on way to a Tour at Owens-Thomas House and so glad we did. Our server, Kunal was amazing. He was super positive and helpful. We let him know we were in a rush and he made sure we got our food asap. The food was great! I got buttermilk chicken fingers and Bob got the double smash burger. Both came with French fries that hot and crispy, just the way I love them. They have a full bar and a menu that includes breakfast, brunch and lunch items. Great food and service!

Alejandro (AlejOpinion) Sorry Charlie’s is one of those spots in Savannah that just gets it right. The location is perfect, right in the heart of downtown, and the atmosphere feels both lively and relaxed. The service is genuinely impressive—friendly, fast, and they make you feel like a regular even if it’s your first time in. The food lives up to the hype too—fresh, well-seasoned, and clearly made with care. From oysters to cocktails, everything feels thoughtfully done. Overall, it’s one of those places where great location, great service, and great food actually meet.

Lena Thorpe ​A wonderful dining experience at Bistro 45 ​a few days ​ago. We were very pleased with both the food and service, and we found the restaurant to be very cozy. I particularly enjoyed the Tuna Tostada, Escargot, and Mozzarella Salad. My husband​ - his Tuna Carpaccio and Ribeye steak. For dessert, the Traditional Crème brûlée and Georgia Pecan Dacquoise were delicious! Our server was also very accommodating and professional. ​A Great French bistro experience!

Scarlet Hao It’s been my must-go-to place for years. I eat there every time I come to Savannah. I’m not the expert in Cajun food, but I really love theirs. The seasoning and the prices are great, and I will also highly recommend them!

Ilona Yakubenko This was our first time visiting this café — I found it online, and we were pleasantly surprised by how beautiful and delicious everything was. We sat outside, and the atmosphere was amazing: tables close to the road, people walking by, creating a lively tourist vibe that paired perfectly with the beautiful food and pleasant service. I ordered salmon, and the kids ordered burgers with fries — and even the kids were absolutely thrilled with the food. The fries were especially good. Later we tried fruit and a dessert inspired by Dubai chocolate with ice cream — a must-try. It’s very sweet, but even though I usually don’t like sweets, it was delicious. I also had a lavender coffee (can’t remember the exact name), and it was outstanding.

Karen Kerby We sat at the bar. Loved the rustic setting. Ordered a Bloody Mary and a Blue moon. Had the spinach dip appetizer. I had a grilled buffalo chicken wrap with side of potato salad. Spouse had the famous Reuben with onion rings. Everything g was spot on tasty. No complaints. Great bar service, exceptional food and historic atmosphere.

Sara Goodrich The scallops were the best we’ve ever had. They were cooked perfectly. The fish had great flavor and was cooked really well. The risotto didn’t have any salt but was amazing once added. Unfortunately the steak was more medium than medium rare but my husband liked the flavor. The potatoes were phenomenal. We also got the crème brûlée and it was perfect. It was the best we’ve had. The sugar wasn’t bitter and it was so creamy and custardy.

Matin Foomani The shrimp and grits at Huey’s were outstanding. The grits were smooth and simmered to a perfect, comforting texture, with just enough richness to complement the dish without feeling heavy. The shrimp were tender, well-seasoned, and beautifully cooked, adding a coastal flavor to every bite. Altogether, it felt like a warm Southern classic done exactly right. It had a kick with spices but didn’t bother. Loved it!

Nina Wehner We recently visited Savannah for a week and this was right around the corner. We loved it so much we ate there twice! The shrimp and grits was heavenly and I still am thinking about it days later! We also enjoyed the salmon, fried shrimp and the pie boy!

Pink Peaches Kid friendly place, the waiter accompanied us very nicely and asked if we didn’t like something that they would be able to switch it out. Nice peaceful quiet atmosphere. Nice outside view, drinks come with kids meals. Nice seating options. Friendly staff. Nicely refilled our drinks, Our server Bailey was great!!! Easy walking access. Took at least 50 minutes to get our food. The chicken is amazing and fresh!!!! I recommend coming here!!!!

K M My wife and I went to Stone & Webster on Thanksgiving Day, which was our first night in town. The staff at the host station were very friendly and even were able to seat us fifteen or so minutes prior to our reservation. The inside of the restaurant is set up in halves. The front half overlooks the kitchen and is one I would definitely not recommend due to the hustle and bustle of the area. Thankfully, we were sat in the back area which was down a short walkway past the restrooms. The atmosphere in the back half is quite cozy and inviting. Our server, whose name I wish I could remember because he was great, was very attentive and took time to recommend other places around the Savannah area to visit and eat at. We both ordered the filet mignon and we added the shareable side of mashed potatoes. Unlike some places we have been the portion was definitely enough to share. The potatoes were very creamy and could not have been better. The same went for both of our steaks, which were juicy, tender, and cooked to perfection. All in all Stone & Webster was an absolute wonderful dinner and evening. If we ever go back to the Savannah area it will definitely be on the list of restaurants to return to.

Ms. Lowe We really enjoyed our dinner here! The restaurant is right in the hotel lobby, which made everything super convenient. We had the burger and fries, the caprese flatbread, and the sangria while listening to live music and overlooking the river. You truly cannot beat that. Even the manager stopped by to check on us, and Evan was the best server we have ever had!

Barry G Funky vibe and creative menu. Shrimp tacos were good. Friendly and good service. Good beer selection. The avocado fries were interesting and unique! Prices were reasonable.

sean stutz The atmosphere is exactly what you would expect from a place with this kind of name. Everything inside is one giant innuendo but it just adds to the atmosphere. Its a great place to get some unique drinks and desserts for the end of date night; just make sure you eat beforehand this is a drinks and dessert place only no actual food. The staff were super nice and very helpful, they all keep lights on them so you can take pictures, the inside is kind of dark like low light mood lighting. I got a red wine with chocolate on the rim of the glass and i was not expecting much but it was actually a really really good combo. The cakes we got were a little dry but they looked great and still tasted good. My wifes drinks were fantastic and one was really unique looking. Over all I would say this is one of the cooler and more interesting places to go on a date in this era. I can not wait to go back and try all the different drinks.

Fatin Asnan Coming to this restaurant wasn’t planned, but we were pleasantly surprised with the food, service, and vibe. We made a last minute reservation (due to our original restaurant didn’t work out). Got there 20 mins early and got seated right away. For the food, we ordered the whole fried tilapia, a fried grouper fillet, an iron beer (Cuban version of coke)— and everything came just about $40. That price in the downtown of Savannah is unbelievable. Huge portions too. Photo of Tilapia with husband’s hand for scale, the Grouper, and the aftermath :) More importantly, the foods were actually really tasty. Fishes were seasoned well. Sweet plantains were a nice touch of sweetness to the savory fish. And the garlic bread they gave in house… chef’s kiss! Plus, they got live music and friendly servers. We were there for 1.5 hours and witnessed 3 birthday celebrations by the servers and the band. Service can be a bit slow due to how packed it is, but just set your expectations especially for weekend nights.
