  Gryphon Tea Room in Savannah

Here are some other suggestions for a variety of culinary experiences while visiting Savannah.

Clary's Cafe
(912)233-0402
404 Abercorn Street

This place has been around since 1903 and used to be a drugstore with a lunch counter. It now serves everything from burgers to Caesar salads, and, of course, milk shakes and malts. We were told that breakfast is especially excellent. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Vinnie Van Go-Go's
(912)233-6394
110 West Julian Street

This place was voted
"Best Pizza in Savannah" year after year, and I know why. Even though it's New York style pizza (not my favorite kind), I really enjoyed it. Try it with the excellent spinach salad. The building is set in a narrow wedge of a building in the City Market area. It's a low-ceilinged bohemian enclave.

Cafe Gelatohhh!
(912)234-2344
City Market

This is an ice cream shoppe with authentic Italian gelato that is made fresh daily. There are 24 flavors, superior coffee, specialty drinks, wines, and fresh lemonade.


Favorite Dish: Wall's Barbecue
(912)-232-9754
5151 East York Lane

This restaurant is located on a narrow alley in the middle of the historic district. It's like a shack, but it serves cheap deviled crabs, red rice, and smoked ribs with mustard sauce. (First time I ever had BBQ made with Mustard Sauce). Only a few tables so you might want to order "To Go"!

Old Pink House
(912)-232-4262
23 Abercorn Street

This is a landmark restaurant that offers fresh seafood and expertly prepared meats as their house specialties. It's an historic building with nine dining rooms and a cozy, dark tavern downstairs.

Gryphon Tea Room
(912)-238-2481
337 Bull Street

This used to be
Solomon's drugstore, but it was recently refurbished by the Savannah College of Art and Design. It is now a charming but quirky tea room" which serves sandwiches, soups, and salads as well as hundreds of hot teas. The name comes from a carved mahogany gryphon clock in the restaurant...it's quite an ornate building too. Serves Breakfast and lunch only.

Savannah Candy Kitchen
(912)201-9501
Old Market

This is a great place for handmade southern confections, cakes, and candies. You'll just think you are in heaven!

There are others, but these are some of my favorites.
