5 Best Restaurants in Savannah, Georgia You Need to Try Before Everyone Else Finds Them

Savannah, Georgia — a city where Spanish moss drapes the live oaks, where cobblestone streets echo with the laughter of neighbors and the hush of river tides, where the air is thick with the scent of jasmine, pralines, and something soulful simmering in every kitchen. Here, pastel rowhouses lean shoulder to shoulder, and the city’s heart beats in the rhythm of porch swings, gospel choirs, and the stories of those who’ve called this place home for generations and those who arrived chasing the promise of salt air and second chances.

12 Georgia Comfort Food Restaurants Where You Can Eat Well For Less

A whole Georgia cafe opened because a movie crew came to town to film Fried Green Tomatoes. The cameras left, and the fried green tomatoes stayed on the menu. I love that kind of backstory. It proves comfort food in this state often comes with a story, not just a side of gravy.

Generations of Flavor: Cowart’s Family Dining brings rich history and new expansions to Brooklet

There is a special recipe for success that the Cowart family has been perfecting for over 70 years, and it relies heavily on faith, family, and scratch-made Southern comfort food. For Cowart's Family Dining owners Jimmy and LaDonna Cowart , their recent move to Brooklet in 2026 wasn't just a new business chapter—it was an answer to a prayer. "I absolutely knew we would make it here because we prayed over our decision," LaDonna Cowart shared in a recent interview. "I felt like God closed other doors and then He just busted these doors wide open. The community is great, and we want to get more involved once we get settled." A Four-Generation Southern Legacy The Cowart culinary timeline is a rich tapestry that stretches back nearly a century. Before 1950, Jimmy’s great-grandparents, Ben and Bessie Cowart, operated a local bed and breakfast. In 1950, his grandparents, Oscar and Ollie Mae Cowart , officially established the original Cowart’s Restaurant downtown on Highway 280 and Bacon Street in Pembroke, Georgia. The business was later passed down to James and Sandra Cowart , famously serving up to 350 hearty breakfasts a day until their retirement in the early 1990s. Jimmy and LaDonna

Rodent droppings in soda syrup. Beaufort Co.'s worst October food inspections

The South Carolina Department of Agriculture (SCDA) has released its October food inspection reports. Two restaurants, two schools and a Parker’s scored less than A. Inspectors from the SCDA inspect restaurants and other food-serving establishments across the state on a routine basis. The frequency of inspections is based on the establishment’s risk-factor for food-borne illness and its compliance history, according to the SCDA. Grades are awarded on a 100-point scale, with A grades above 87 points, B 78 points, and C less than 78 points. Repeat infractions can result in lower letter grades no matter the points. Here’s why these Beaufort County establishments received their grades, and if their violations were corrected: E-Tang Asian Bistro Inspectors awarded E-Tang Asian Bistro, located at 811 William Hilton Parkway on Hilton Head Island, a C grade with 75 points in its Oct.15 routine inspection. Inspectors observed: An employee drinking from an open cup and eating from a bowl on the hot line Employees failing to wash hands between cleaning and food preparation, an employee washing hands without soap, and an employee washing hands in a food preparation sink “Fresh rodent droppings in a pool of Lemon-Lime Soda Syrup,” as well as rodent droppings

Savannah's secret wine window is tucked inside this chic courtyard

If strolling Savannah's historic oak-lined streets and peeking through wrought-iron gates at secret gardens isn’t charming enough, the city has a courtyard with a hidden way to have a drink in style. It's not a bar - it's a wine window. And it's drawing locals and visitors in the know. In the architectural spirit of Florence, Italy's famed small portals that serve wine by the glass (also known as " buchette del vino "), this petite-and-playful feature can be found in the courtyard of Lester's at The Douglas , a luxe boutique hotel housed in a circa-1800s townhouse on Oglethorpe Avenue.Lester's, which offers tinned fish, a raw bar and a caviar menu, debuted earlier this summer and is helmed by Jacques Larson, the Charleston-based chef behind Lowcountry favorites The Obstinate Daughter on Sullivan's Island and Wild Olive on John's Island.On the menu, expect a tight list of red, white, bubbles, rosé, and orange wines around $14 to $19 per glass, and bottles ranging from the 2024 Vinhos Fitapreta Touriga Vai Nua Alentejo for $58 to the NV Marie Courtin "Resonance" Blanc De Noirs Extra Brut Champagne for $190.Beyond wine, the bar window offers several martini variations, including one topped with
