lots of food and drink options!

Keith Hanlon

Went above and beyond for my celiac. Everything was fantastic, their portion sizes were way more than I expected. This place was the highlight of our trip to Savannah

Heather Dutton

Great gluten free options, cool atmosphere!

Katie De Jong

Not allergy friendly. The menu notes a variety of items can be made Gluten Free. Today the dish ordered first had a hair in it and was sent back to the kitchen. A replacement was delivered and consumed. At the end of eating the dish I began to have a reaction and ask the waiter to confirm if it was gluten free. The waiter came back and said it was not. A superior then came and said he already comped the first dish for the hair issue and confirmed that neither the first nor second dish were made GF. He confirmed the waiter put in the order correctly but the kitchen made the error (twice). He offered to call me an ambulance and have his General Manager come speak to us. Very disappointed in this. They even billed us for the meal. If you have food allergies do not eat here. Not safe. My husband who does not have allergies enjoyed his meal and said it was very good. Non allergy consumers should be able to enjoy.

The food is fresh and excellent . Server was attentive and knowledgeable. If you are looking for inside, patio, or bar dining, this place has all three. Small menu with lots of vegan and gluten free options. The dressings are made from scratch. My hamburger patty from locally sourced beef was made fresh and not frozen.

Kat Shearer

Delicious and clearly marked on the menu. Also with wonderful GF key lime pie for desert!

Leopold’s is incredible! We went twice within 24 hours. The server Hannah recommended lemon custard the first time we went and provided many free samples for us to try. She was a sweetheart and made the experience memorable. All the ice cream flavors taste authentic, fresh and they have so many options including certain flavors for lactose intolerant and gluten free community. I had butter pecan, Savannah socialite and lemon custard. My favorite was the lemon custard and my partner’s favorite was the Savannah socialite. Prices are affordable and the interior decor was cutesy and vintage! This is a must see venue for tourists visiting Savannah!

Maggie Gehrlein

The gluten free breakfast bowl was so good! Service was quick, friendly staff, amazing location.

Chantal Goodwin

Went today on a Wednesday lunch and had a very short wait time, prompt service, and great tasting food. Also great to have options for everybody in the group (one needing gluten free options and one being vegan/vegetarian), everything was so tasty. We had the challah French toast, black eye pea sandwich (no cheese to make vegan), vegetarian biscuits and gravy, bourbon burger with GF bun and drinks we had were espresso martini and old fashioned.

Jane Cowley

We came to visit Savannah last week for a special occasion and found this spot. We came twice here and absolutely loved it! I have gluten allergy and they have a gluten free menu. Food is absolutely delicious, very generous portions, and great price for the quality and quantity you get. We tried several fish and Sea food dishes and the pork chops and everything was really delicious! Our waitress was awesome, very personable and nuce. Highly recommend this place! Definitely planning to be back when we are in Savannah again!!!

GREAT spot for a relaxed date night or just to hang out with friends! The shrimp and grits were a 10/10, and they have a ton of gluten free options, as well as really great drinks. Louis in particular made our night amazing, 11/10 waiter! We will be returning :)

Tim Grooms

The service is excellent, beginning with the staff at the front as soon as you enter. Everyone is pleasant and cheerful. I have celiac, and the server was outstanding and extremely knowledgeable. It had been a hot day, and I always enjoy a chilled wedge salad after being in the heat. The salad was excellent, and the chill was just enough to cool me down after having a couple of drinks on a rooftop bar. All four guests enjoyed the same Wine is reasonably priced based on the normal restaurant charge, and two of us enjoyed a couple of bottles less one glass for someone else. Main orders consisted of 2 ribeyes, a large filet, a small filet, and a small wagyu for an appetizer. The wagyu was outstanding with just the right amount of salt to really enhance the flavor. We only ordered one side of spinach. I did not have any, just focused on my steak. Everyone enjoyed their steaks. Said they had been perfectly cooked and tasted great. I enjoyed the large filet, but not to the fullest. I understand how difficult it is to cook such a thick steak, but the top and bottom portions were very dry, flavorless, and not that appealing. The middle portion, which is the largest, was cooked perfectly. It was getting through the tasteless, overcooked outer part first that I did not enjoy. Overall, it was a good dinner. Excellent service will make you forget about minor issues. I will return soon and check out the ribeye.

I’ve eaten here a few times, growing up in Wisconsin it’s been fun to discover a Culver’s nearby. During the blackout with Hurricane Helene this place was packed & they did an incredible job with all the craziness & frustrated hungry people. I’ve recently become obsessed with their pumpkin spice shake—there’s actually pumpkin!—pure fall in the south bliss. The cashiers and servers are always friendly & the food is freshly made. It feels indulgent, but I don’t feel gross after eating here. I like to sit outside on sunny days. Also, they have gluten free buns which I thoroughly appreciate!

Alexander T

We really enjoyed the restaurant! We especially loved hearing the history and feeling like we were going back in time for the evening and eating amazing food, they also accommodated my girlfriend’s gluten, dairy and soy allergies. - My only gripe is that they did not enforce a dress code or make any effort to remind other guests to watch their behavior. We asked to move to another room due to an obnoxiously loud table. After waiting for what seemed like forever we were eventually moved. I usually don’t complain about things like this but these folks were actually very noisy, to the point where it actually was hurting our eardrums, and they seemed very rude. We felt like we dressed up nicely only to go to what felt more like a rowdy pub rather than a fine dining establishment. I hope to come back and have a better experience next time and hopefully the management might help address disruptive guests like this in the future so others will have a more comfortable experience :)

This was my second time here. I had burger with a gluten free bun and a spiked milkshake. They were both very good and the gluten free bun was surprisingly good!

Jaymie Birdsall

Had such an amazing experience. My server was super accommodating and understand to my intolerance to gluten. The shrimp and grits is a MUST HAVE. Def avoid if you can’t have dairy, but it was incredible. The market fish is what I had for an entree and it was gluten free as it comes. No dessert but she was willing to make something that I would’ve been able to eat. Would absolutely be back!

priscilla speers

We both got the she crab soup and it was DELICIOUS! Kim waited on us and was so attentive. Wonderful and calm atmosphere. We only got the soup but looking at the menu they had good gluten free selections as well.

Bianca Belmonte Giancoli

Great service and atmosphere. We were supposed to go to the restaurant down the street but there was a long wait so we decided to try Husk out. I’m so glad we did. Beautiful restaurant and the food was excellent. The deviled eggs were delicious. I think they were mildly pickled. Burned garlic Caesar salad was good and the shrimp and grits were perfect, not too greasy or cheesy like some places do it. The burgers were also awesome. I’m usually very picky about the beef meat and it was so flavorful. Just perfect. They also have a great drink menu selection. I had an espresso martini which was good but my husband’s mixed drink was delish. I can’t remember the name. They even did a gluten free option burger for my son.

Kim Seaman

I really love the atmosphere. It looked out over the river. The interior was very rustic but classy. The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable about the menu and how things could be made gluten free. Staff was friendly, interactive and the environment was clean and very inviting. We went for lunch but there was a piano so I am sure that they have live music in the evening or on special occasions.

Mike Davis

Looking for GF food was a great experience. The hostages were helpful and toke the time to make sure food was gluten free

Kara Christine

My husband and I picked up takeout from this restaurant twice while we were in Savannah for a trip. We are huge fans of Pad Thai and Red Curry and we were not disappointed! The Red Curry was among the best I have ever had. As a gluten-sensitive eater, I did not experience any illness. Wish we lived closer; we would definitely be regulars. The website is easy to use and our orders were always ready faster than planned. Friendly service. Will definitely be back if we are ever in the area again! Thank you! :)

Barry Dahl

A group of about 10 of us had dinner here, upstairs in a private room with a window looking down on the restaurant floor. We had a mixture of Vegans, Gluten-free, and "regular" diners and The Grey handled all of our needs with ease. Attentive servers, and good explanations of the various dishes that were served to us for sharing. Recommended.

Anne Parris

Inventive cocktails, including no-alcohol drinks, a great beer selection, and a lovely atmosphere. We had excellent service and top-notch hamburgers. The server made suggestions that helped me make gluten-free selections. The fryer is not dedicated gf so I was able to sub in cheese grits. I don’t know that I would choose the grits again, but the burger was one of the best I’ve had in Savannah.

We went for a late breakfast. Not really a breakfast type of place, they have a limited selection for breakfast. Very limited gluten free selection. The breakfast platter that I had was about average, but I'm a foody and I rate a bit harsher than most.

Amanda M Dunn Dunn

There was a separate gluten free menu with many options and my dinner was wonderful.

Hunter Saavedra

Stopped in for a quick bite on a roadtrip and it was delicious! They have vegan, gluten-free waffle option to substitute for a bagel that was SO GOOD. It was filling and one of the best GF bread options I’ve had. I got the BLATT and my husband got a bacon, egg and cheese. They also had some options for little kiddos. Would definitely recommend!

Lin Cunanan

I went here with my fiancé, who has dietary concerns relating to gluten and soy— and after carefully reviewing their information (posted below) we were very excited about the bacon, eggs, and hash brown options for him! To our dismay, the service attendant told us that they use soy on their grill— which completely negates this dietary information and significantly lessened what my fiancé was able to safely eat. Don’t rely on the online posted guide. Always ask. We narrowly avoided him having a bad reaction.

Dennis Smith

Don't order a steak. Eating solo, I sat at the bar on a Friday night. The Old Fashioned was legendary. I ordered a 14 ounce ribeye medium well with mashed potatioes and green beens. The potatoes and green beans were outstanding. The steak was a small, thin, pointed piece of meat with no marbling. The end I started on was as ordered. As I continued eating the steak was well done and eventually too difficult to cut with the knife provided. I left nearly half on the plate. It was impossible to get a servers attention as they were busy serving drinks and fawning over the guy standing at the end of the bar who I presumed was an owner or manager. It took 4-5 minutes waving my credit card to get a bill and still no chance to speak about my steak. Service was good, even helping with my gluten allergy so I left a reasonable tip. Go for a drink but don't order food.

Rick Eason

Great atmosphere! Excellent food and service. The braised spare ribs were 'melt in your mouth' good! Great selection of gluten free dishes as well.

Chris

Chef David is amazing. The food is delicious. The chef went above and beyond preparing my wife a meal she could eat. She cannot have gluten and is a vegetarian and he made sure that she had a delicious meal. Highly recommend eating here if your in the area. Thank you Chef!

RCNR

Great place to stop on a road trip with a decent size gluten free menu.

nicole martin

If you’re anywhere near Savannah you really really need to grab a meal at Narobia’s. The shrimp and grits are delicious and everything is cooked perfectly. I have a gluten allergy and the staff immediately knew how to hook me up with the wheat-free version of my dream breakfast. My partner ordered biscuits which were flaky and smelled so good that I briefly considered risking an allergic reaction (gluten) for just one bite. Friendly staff. Amazing food. Can’t wait to eat here again.

Rachel Wansker

They had gluten free buns and veggie burgers that were GF! It’s so rare I can find a place with both and it was so delicious!

Kerly Gerl

This was a super fun place. The staff were thoughtful and amazingly helpful with my celiac issue. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was exactly what you would expect. Just delightful!

marla cocalis

Great gluten-free menu (a separate gf menu!) and spectacular service. Our server, Selena, went above and beyond to meet our needs and make sure we had a great experience. She was gregarious and attentive without hovering. They also had an amazing shrimp taco special!

Rita A. Mewing

Just lovely. The historic setting is delightful. The tea was wonderful. The staff was able to assist me in finding a gluten free choice from the menu and even verified with the chef. A very nice setting to have lunch and tea.

Anita Carvalho

We got married in Savannah Monday, June 21st. Given we live in Boston, we had to book everything remotely and most things, sight unseen! As you can imagine, there was a little apprehension and nervousness around this! To that end, we did a lot of online research to find the right venue for us. Given the pandemic, we decided to find a place with a private room. My husband came across the Rhett within the Alida and our experience was incredible! We connected with Ellie Tumlinson who was super responsive! She was also very flexible and adaptable! We had so many questions and made several changes to the menu and the types of food we were looking for. We liked the items that were already on the menu, but we have dietary restrictions and preferences. I.e., no gluten, no cheese, no meat (fish and eggs are okay), etc. Pretty complicated, right? Yet, none of these flustered Ellie in the least! Not only did she work with us to make the changes, every single thing was right! I should also mention, I had requested a special champagne and she was able to get it. AND just a few days before the event, I emailed Ellie (totally last minute) with a special request for my husband. It wasn't something she had on hand, but nonetheless she was able to get it, no problem. When we arrived, it was chilled and beautifully presented on our table! When we arrived for dinner, Rachel Matte greeted us. She was also fantastic! We felt like we had known her for years! She was so warm and we were immediately comfortable with her. Rachel has a really warm demeanor and is very professional. At all points, she had everything under control. It was fantastic! We didn't have to worry about a thing. Champagne was chilled and the glasses (we had dropped off Tiffany's flutes earlier in the weekend) were set! Everything looked beautiful and Rachel was on top of all of it. One thing I will mention is when we arrived, we were late and starving, so my husband asked Rachel to put the apps in and get started with drinks. There was a spot around the corner, where we wanted to get more pictures. We ate and drank, left for more pics and then came back and Rachel had the entrees ready to go. Nothing flustered this woman and she didn't miss A BEAT!! So grateful for this!!!! Her timing was impeccable!!! Lastly, the food was awesome and the room was so nice!!! We loved it. We hope to be visit again when we head back to Savannah for our one year anniversary trip!!

Food is good. Simple. Gluten free is pretty easy. Great location. Love the atmosphere. Might get noisy when busy.

Amberly Cooper

My job ordered Surcheros to help celebrate my recent graduation (go me!). I have to say that the food was absolutely delicious. I have a lot of food allergies (shellfish, dairy, red meat, red sauce, and possibly gluten) and I was able to find something to eat that was filling and healthy. I will definitely return!

Anne Parris

Cafe with burgers, shakes, cheese fries nachos and more inside the American Legion building. Tasty fresh food. Booth seating. Order at counter and food is brought to your booth. Very friendly staff. Food for all ages, kids to grandparents. Some vegetarian and gluten free choices.

Robert Gee

Visited from Indiana. Everything about this place was wonderful.The food. The atmosphere. And most of all..the service. If you were to look up the definition of restaurant teamwork, you would see a photo of this team. They accomodated our shellfish and gluten allergies. We had full bellies by the end of the night. We left with a great experience. Highly recommend!

Jenna Anderson

OMG guys!!! My husband and I have literally had dinner here five nights in a row! We found this place by complete accident and I have fallen completely in love! The business we are in, we travel all over the country. I am a picky and finicky judgmental eater so I do not give reviews often however, the owner of this establishment takes complete and above expectational Pride in this establishment from cleanliness, staff, and most certainly, the food!!! I was totally Blown Away by the lobster mac and cheese.. The clam chowder.. By FAR the best you will ever have anywhere! My all-time favorite is the Boneless Wings! You think of traditional boneless wings as super breaded, dry bits of gluten drenched in sticky sauce.. Well... Not here!!! Do yourself a favor and try them... You will literally moan while you eat!!! The Draft Room has the best food, service & atmosphere I've experienced in all my 37 years of life!

LaToya Gadson

My daughter recommended this place to me, and I'm glad I gave it a try🙂 I've eliminated gluten and dairy from my diet, and this place is great for those who avoid those things. She was able to accommodate my fried fish and shrimp with cornmeal instead. The food was delicious and made fresh.... it really hit the spot. The special sauce was different and good too! Thank you so much for everything! I will be back!

We personally love Waffle House! This one was very great service - forget name of our waitress but she was attentive and efficient. We enjoy the waffle smell, even though I’m Gluten free so can’t get waffles. I always get the grilled chicken sandwich bun and cheese on the side. My husband almost always eye the siesta omelette but this time got the Philly cheesesteak sandwich. He thinks the omelette is more filling. Our favorite is doubling the hash brown and adding our own items (I add the sautéed onions, mushrooms and ham). Waffle House is a great establishment what we support Oh, on this order, they actually forgot to add my onions, mushrooms & ham into the hash browns so they brought that out separately - not as good, but still fine
