A word from The Pirates' House
The entire family is sure to enjoy Savannah's most intriguing & historic restaurant. At the Pirates' House, our most precious treasure is the food. Situated in Trustees Garden, merely a scant block from the Savannah River, the Famous Pirates' House is the most historic spot in Georgia. The Herb… House, erected in 1734, located inside the Pirates' House, is said to be the oldest house in Georgia. The Pirates' House first opened in 1753 as an inn for seafarers and fast became a meeting point for blood-thirsty pirates & sailors. Enthusiastically recommended by AAA, Food & Wine and Redbook.Continued

  • "Whenever we visit our son in savannah. We always take his friends to the prate house. The fried chicken is always perfect. Bread is outstanding. Fish is fresh. And it's a fun atmosphere. Pirate women to talk to. Go if you want a good time."

  • "Exceptional fine-dining experience! Everything about the evening was exciting and entertaining - even the "pirate" guided tour. We are retired, but saw some children having a ball."

  • "3 of us went to celebrate a special occasion and were seated in the same room (Ann Bonney) as 4 family groups of 8. Room was too noisy for us to enjoy the experience although the food was great! We wound up getting to go boxes and retreating to the bar which was much quieter and relaxing. If you go be careful where the host/hostess seats you if you want a quieter room for dinner."

  • "First time using Open Table which made the reservations a breeze! Restaurant had a surprisingly good menu (I had expected mostly "kid-friendly" menu items). Our group had filet, shrimp and grits, Seafood au gratin, crab soup, calamari - all were excellent. Great tour at the end of the meal. It was great to visit a place that I had been to as a child and to see my children enjoy it more than I did!"

  • "This place is just fun! I loved it when I was 10...and years later I still love it. It is old. The menu probably hasn't changed much during my lifetime...and that is just fine. Stick with the fried stuff and get into pirate mode!"
    Dined on 2/15/2014
  • "The Pirate's House is a must see when visiting Savannah. Make sure you get the tour of the house with the Pirate!!"
    Dined on 2/22/2014
  • "The history alone at this restaurant sets it apart from many and then to include the food puts it a step ahead than your normal medium priced restaurants. Went for lunch and had very good sandwiches with great service!"
    Dined on 2/26/2014
  • "The atmosphere of the Pirates House was fantastic. We had a small room with only three tables. This kept the noise level down (the larger rooms were the nosiest). Love the ghost story's (be sure to ask for the free tour after your meal). The food was average and overpriced but hey, your on vacation and the food is usually expensive. A great place for kids as well as a romantic place for two. If you wish for intimacy and a low noise level, request a small room."

  • "This was my second time at the Pirates' House. The first was several years ago and I knew when I returned to Savannah I would have to go back. The food is really good, the servers friendly and the atmosphere is very fun and informative. We took the tour after dinner and learned a lot about the building and pirates! Very fun!"
    Dined on 2/22/2014
  • "This is the second time we went to the Pirate House and we absolutely LOVE it!! The Pecan Fried Chicken is the best fried chicken we've ever had and the biscuits are to die for! It's great the servers know all about the history of the place and are able to tell you all about it. They invite you to check out each room for unique features. Our server stayed on top of our drinks we never had to worry about being thirsty and the food came out SUPER quick! We tell all of our friends they have to check it out and have driven over 2 hours just to eat here."
    Dined on 2/22/2014
  • "Our three boys loved the roaming pirates in full regalia who interacted with them. We enjoyed our meal, especially the warm biscuits with orange marmalade!"
    Dined on 2/15/2014
  • "Once again, we found ourselves passing through Savannah around dinner time. We dined with the same waitress as last time. The food was excellent, as was the service. The ambience is quite interesting, with strolling pirate lasses explaining the history of the House to folks and "want=to-be-pirate" children. Good fun, good food, and most recommendable."
    Dined on 2/21/2014
  • "Clam Chowder okay. Fried Shrimp was very good and hot. Wife had sautéed scallops and really liked them. Service was very good and friendly."
    Dined on 2/20/2014
  • "We have always had seafood on our other visits. This time we had the pecan encrusted chicken, Good but not great. It was kinda greasy and a little too sweet for us. We ate it all and rather enjoyed it. We will always have seafood on our next visits though. Our server was great. Knowledgeable and very friendly and attentive. We will always enjoy the Pirate's House seafood."
    Dined on 2/18/2014
  • "The food and drinks were outstanding, the steak was one of the Best I have ever tasted and the fried green tomatoes were awesome the BLT salad was just as Great! Highly recommend and our waitress took great care of all our needs!"

  • "A bit of a tourist trap, but local food offerings are fine and the history is fun."
    Dined on 2/18/2014
  • "I love the atmosphere of this place. Pirates House is soaked in history, that they continue to honor and celebrate. Everywhere you look, you see a reminder of it's legacy. You can even get a Pirate Led tour of the restaurant and grounds, which is free, but you can tip your pirate. Looking for a Southern Buffet or a delicious burger, you can't go wrong here. As far as the buffet goes, their food can stand up against any restaurant in town. MmmMmm!! Go hungry!"

  • "Before I was married to my wife, as we dated, I would take her from Brunswick, Ga. to the Pirates House for that special occasion. We really enjoyed it then, in the early 70's. We come back occasionally to enjoy the same atmosphere. This being after 3 children and 6 grandchildren later. Hey! I am not saying the food had anything to do with that, but we really enjoy this restaurant. We are happy to see it is still there after all this time. That alone speaks well of any business. We really enjoyed this dinner as much as the first."

  • "Took my wife out for Valintines day. Our meal was awesome and the service was perfect. Diffently worth the money. Plan to visit again"

  • "This historic location has great Southern cooking and is a fun place to go for all ages. The buffet was delicious and the cocktails are good. Many different rooms and the building has great character as well as history."
    Dined on 2/15/2014
  • "We read some good reviews about this restaurant and decided to make it our restaurant of choice the last time we visited Savannah for a quick trip. (1) The buffet food was not good. We have had better buffet food at our local Shoneys. (2) Fried chicken was the main meat on the buffet and they were out. We were finished eating before they brought out more. (3) The service was not very good and I don't feel like it was only the person waiting on us. All of the wait staff seemed stressed and unhappy. The décor of the place was done well for the pirate theme and there was a cute pirate that came by and spoke to us, but that was it. We would not recommend it as a "fine dining experience.""
    Dined on 2/15/2014
  • "The Pirate's House has great food, a vibrant atmosphere and loads of history. It's a great place for all ages and plenty of Pirate lore for everyone. They have a special drink menu and their seafood is fabulous. It's a must visit place for anyone visiting Savannah."

  • "Decided to do something different for Valentines Day. Fast and easy way to make reservations (glad I made them early cause 4 days later online system couldn't give me any times). Arrived about 15 minutes early and was seated right away. Was taken to one of the front rooms where there was only 3 tables so that section had more of a private romantic feel to it versus the bigger rooms. Server was excellent and very knowledgeable about the menu. The food was good portioned and wonderful flavor. Even though the menu is a little on the pricey side, it was worth it. Would go again. Also location is right at the end of river street so makes for a nice after dinner walk up and down the river front hitting the little shops along the way."

  • "We went to please our kids - who could resist a restaurant that's full of pirates?!? The food was way better than us grown ups were expecting and the kids menus were fun treats (you'll see), but my little guy was a bit disappointed that there was only one pirate roaming around. At one point she (yes, she) gave a tour and it felt a little invasive on our table. Service was friendly and quick - great if you have hungry kids! Huge gift shop upstairs if you're interested. Great wine."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "The ambiance was probably the best thing about the experience. We started off with the gator app, which was pretty good. Each ordered a drink from the bar, also good. For dinner, she ordered the pecan fried chicken and I the pecan crusted snapper. The fried chicken was tasty, nothing spectacular but it was good eats. The veggies were overcooked and under seasoned, and the baked potato was just fine. The fish was very bland. If it weren't for the sauce served with it I would have probably sent it back. The mashed sweet potatoes were bland and again the veggies were overcooked and under seasoned. I think our favorite part was the drinks and the gift shop upstairs..."

  • "We celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary at the Pirate House this past week. We so enjoyed our dining experience. The food, atmosphere and history of the Pirate House was amazing!! The young girl pirate who took us on a tour of the house was excellent. If we ever make it back to Savannah we would definitely make reservations at Pirate House again, I will also tell anyone headed to your wonderful city about your establishment."

  • "I've live in Savannah for 25 years and probably haven't been to the Pirate's House in 15. Our small group of ladies went to dinner there after the ballet and thoroughly enjoyed it! Good food, wine and service. Pricing was very good, as well. I will put it back on my list of favs!"
    Dined on 2/8/2014
  • "As ALWAYS the Pirates house didn't disappoint. The service and food was great, I always recommend this place to visitors to Savannah."
    Dined on 2/7/2014
  • "The Pirates' House is great! The food is delicious, especially their fried chicken and the crab dish. The ambience is great and the historical vibe is fantastic. The history of this place is worth it and you should really take a tour of the place given by one of the pirate. The rum drinks are also delicious!"
    Dined on 2/3/2014
  • "The Pirate House has much history and great stories to it. The food is beyond amazing, and the staff is friendly and usually has some stories to tell, as the building is know to have some "haunting" background. Highly recommend to anyone who visits Savannah."
    Dined on 2/1/2014
  • "Interesting rum based cocktails and pirate theme. Food was good, plentiful and quick to arrive, but it is standard pirate food - no farm to table, haute cuisine here. If yer' wantin' grog and fried seafood, this is the place to be matey!"
    Dined on 1/19/2014
  • "Good historical tavern with plenty of 'spiritual' stories. Service and the food was excellent. But what made the experience was watching the children listen to the pirate who toured them around and told them the stories of spirits who may have haunted the place. Quite an experience for the young and the young at heart."
    Dined on 1/19/2014
  • "Arrived 90 minutes early for reservation, got seated immediately, and nice quiet seating for 2. Service was quick, attentive, and knowledgeable. Food seems to be getting even better each time we visit. We come down to Savannah couple times a year and this is always the one place we eat and each time. We can never leave without usng the 10% off at the gift shop and they always have some good sale and clearance items. DO NOT SKIP going here for Lunch or Dinner anytime. Walk through the whole Pirate House and get the ghost stories too."
    Dined on 1/18/2014
  • "Service was great but unfortunately food was not. Food was cold, steak was supposed to be a filet but didn't taste like it. My boys didn't see one pirate. Will not be recommending to friends."
