    Delicious food, excellent service, great portions, accommodated our gluten allergy well. Plenty of drink options, but not like some Savannah spots that are counting on you to booze your way through subpar entrees. Great spot for a date, family meal, or a small gathering of friends. I Recommend the Fried Green Tomatoes, and at $25, the Shrimp and Grits delivers on savory value.

    6/6/25 We were able to move our 8 pm reservations up to 6 pm but were seated at the downstairs bar. For a couple out for an early Friday dinner, this worked out very well. Sarah L. was the bartender and took wonderful care of us! She was incredibly busy as the place was hoping (again, it’s a Friday night!). She was very attentive and friendly. The restaurant offers great options. The food is delicious! We also observed different dishes coming from the kitchen which were beautiful. We shared the local greens salad and gnocchi. Fabulous! Of course we had to try local partner Wicked Cake’s raspberry and white chocolate. Scrumptious and not too sweet! B Matthews sources lots of local providers which is also important in supporting local establishments. Overall, Sarah L. provided OUTSTANDING customer service and the food is superb! We highly recommend B Matthews!

    Staff were very welcoming, friendly and the food was delicious. Ate on the early end so it wasn’t busy. I would definitely comeback if in town and would recommend B. Matthew’s to anyone in the area.
