We visit the Boar's Head restaurant, any time we have family in town and want to surprise them with an amazing meal. We visited last night for my wife's birthday and ended up having drinks and dinner at the bar. The bartender Will was absolutely amazing and Milo the front Host was also a complete breath of fresh air. So welcoming that my wife and I will be making this a regular dinner spot. Then the food was served, and it was elite cooking. I am a former Chef, and the food was perfect! Very well done, thank you for an amazing night!

We took my mom here for her birthday lunch, she has trouble walking but we were able to drive her right to the entrance. Our waitress was very friendly and a pro, she answered all our menu questions and she had a happy disposition. The food was very good, this was our first time here and we were all happy with our selections and we didn’t have to wait long.

With so many great restaurants to visit in Savannah, it was difficult to pick just one for our last night in the city. We settled on Boar's Head Grill and Tavern because of the reviews and the walking distance from our hotel. We were not disappointed. From the moment we stepped into the restaurant, we were greeted warmly. Our server, J.T., was pleasant and prompt with everything, including our drinks. The food was delicious. We started with the crab cakes, which were a good size for sharing and loaded with crab. Our entrees of fried shrimp and salmon with cheddar grits were very tasty. The ambience was perfect--not too noisy and a view of the river. We will definitely be back!

Ribeye was great and lusciously tangy key lime pie was fantastic! Wife had chicken piccata and also thought was fabulous. Highly recommend the crab cake appetizer and black eye pea and ham soup. Service was excellent. Pub atmosphere, but a 4-star chef.

We really enjoyed lunch. The crab cake sandwich was delicious! My son had blackened fish salad and black eye pea soup. He loved his meal! Mom had chicken Mediterranean salad. Dad had a hotdog which would not be my choice but he was happy. Reasonable lunch prices- excellent quality. French fries were very crispy and just great.

Came based on reviews and met expectations. Requested a seat by the window and got it. Ordered the ribeye but with mashed potatoes and they were some of the best mashed potatoes I’ve ever had. Ribeye was well marbled and properly cooked to order. Fast and attentive service. Would recommend.

Food and service was excellent. However, apparently they're dog friendly as two nearby tables brought dogs (I thought non-service dogs were prohibited inside dining establishments for sanitary reasons.)

We were on a quick trip to Savannah and chose Boar's Head Grill and Tavern based on ratings. The ambience was a little less than what I expected as it is a small place, super casual. It is very rustic on the inside and reminded me of the swashbuckling days of pirates and shipmasters coming in for a drink! The food was very good. My partner had the steak and BBQ shrimp which we both HIGHLY recommend. That shrimp was simply amazing! Two of us ordered the shrimp and grits which was mostly yummy except the sauce was a bit too salty. And lastly, one of us ordered the swordfish special which was very good. Light and tasty. We want the Peach Sangria recipe as it was divine and not like any other sangria we have had previously. Lastly, we all shared a slice of key lime pie. It was good, not outstanding. Would I go back? Yes, and would order the BBQ shrimp and Sangria!

Service was mostly great. Drinks were great. Salads were great. Fried shrimp were barely okay. Chicken picatta was great. Steak and shrimp; filet ordered @medium, delivered over well done and shrimp were overcooked. Pork chop was grossly overcooked. I've had better steak and shrimp from Outback, for far less money.
