1. Sweet Leaf Smokery & Eatery

606 Abercorn St, Savannah, GA 31401 · 912-447-5444

User Rating:   (Rate It!)

My Suitcase:   (Add to My Suitcase)

Avg. Entrée: $$1 - $15
Reservations: Not Accepted
Dress: CC: Casual
Outdoor Dining:

HISTORIC DISTRICT. A fun, upbeat vibe distinguishes this light-filled eatery, which also gets a punch of color from local artwork, decoupaged tabletops, and a big blackboard listing the day's specials. Sit inside or out (it's seat yourself), and get ready for a meal of tasty barbecue. Sandwiches and plates are both available, and they feature pulled pork, spare ribs, and smoked chicken. If those aren't what you want at the moment, tuck into a burrito, a panini, or a cheeseburger. And if you eschew meat completely, they've got a smoked tofu wrap with your name on it! Short-but-good wine and beer lists are also on-hand.

HISTORIC DISTRICT. A well-traveled couple are the masterminds behind this internationally-minded eatery, and from a quaint brick building adorned with flags and yellow awnings, they produce a range of delicious dishes. Get things started with a bite of hummus, and then indulge in a homey cottage pie, a char-broiled hickory-smoked pork chop, lasagna, or a rustic curry stew. You can also look for sandwiches and salads, not to mention great vegetarian selections like falafel or grilled vegetables over rice.

HISTORIC DISTRICT. There are always a few places in every town that cultivate long-term patrons, just by their presence and their quality. Wall's is one such Savannah institution. Fans crowd the place's plastic booths and even put on bibs to enjoy top-notch BBQ at the super casual spot. You'll feel right at home as you dig into a BBQ sandwich or indulge in ribs with homestyle veggies. If you're intent on going against the barbecue status quo, try the terrific deviled crabs.

Dress: BCBC: Business Casual
Outdoor Dining: None

HISTORIC DISTRICT. Y'all, this is Paula Deen's restaurant, and tons of her fans show up regularly to sample the cuisine she's touted on places like the Food Network and in her cookbooks. After a (sometimes lengthy) wait, folks get to tuck into genuine Southern cuisine, from fried green tomatoes and fried chicken to shrimp-and-grits and pecan pie. The lunch buffet is a great deal, too, letting you eat all that you can in the great tradition of Southern hospitality. While some patrons prefer the a la carte menu, you can be certain that – no matter which option you choose – you'll be well-fed before it's all said and done.

Avg. Entrée: $$1 - $15
Reservations: Recommended
Dress: BC, CBC: Business Casual
C: Casual
Outdoor Dining: None

HISTORIC DISTRICT. With a tradition of hospitality dating back to 1753, this establishment did, indeed, cater to seamen early on. These days, it's got a more sedate clientele, and they're more inclined to gluttony than to marauding. Locals frequently recommend the highly rated restaurant, and its 15 different dining rooms can handle a host of patrons. The menu specializes in seafood (everything from a stomach-sating seafood platter to grouper Florentine), and there's a terrific, reasonably-priced Southern lunch buffet as well from 11am till 3pm. Fabulous desserts round out a great meal.
