    Boar's Head Grill was the highlight of our 3 day trip to Savannah. I had the Shrimp and Grits and my wife a Fillet. Both dishes were wonderful. An unexpected bonus was their freshly baked, unique bread...delicious. We had a window table with a view of the Savannah River and that, along with the general ambiance, was spectacular. Service was superb. We arrived nearby by ferry but parking is available at two lots, one across the street and another a very short walk away. Boars Head tops our list on any return trips to Savannah.

    We were there an hour with no food. Drinks were just okay and steeply priced. Bread was decent. Waitress offered specials and did not remember prices. Came back with prices, and we ordered. Came back later to say one special was $26, not $24, and asked us if we wanted more drinks. She returned again to ask us about another drink order, so we told her we were done after 1 hour without food. Bad experience. We were lucky to find 2 seats at the bar at Vic's.
    Boar's Head Grill and TavernResponded on June 4, 2025
    Cleon, I sincerely apologize for your disappointing experience. It’s unacceptable that you waited so long without food, and I appreciate your feedback on our service. We’re committed to improving and hope you’ll consider giving us another chance in the future.
