Best Southern American Restaurants in South Carolina

Was able to get an early dinner reservation at The Pirates’ House on Valentine’s Day. My husband ordered the pasta special and I had the pecan glazed chicken they are famous for. Both dishes were delicious. Tom was our server and he was attentive and efficient. I would definitely come back to The Pirates’ House again when I’m in town.

The ribeye steak was probably the best steak I have had in a long while! We switched the green beans for broccoli and it was cooked perfectly along with garlic mashed potatoes. Our waitress was super helpful with food questions and drinks! I would recommend eating here anytime you are in Savannah.

It was my first time in Savannah, and although a reservation for dinner on Valentine’s Day was unavailable, we were able to get one for the night before in early evening. When we found the table for two to be quite small, we were quickly and pleasantly moved to a table for four. Drinks were the Savannah Peach (smooth and not too strong). Our dinner included French onion soup, grouper, crab cakes, and sides. Dessert (excellent choices) was chocolate mousse cake and the Peach Trio. The entire meal was absolutely delicious. Our server was attentive, accommodating, informative and not at all intrusive. Over all, a wonderful experience for a special, romantic long weekend. Our only regret - we wanted to return for dinner on Saturday evening, but there were no tables available. Next time…

We enjoyed EVERYTHING at Common Restaurant! Our server, Bryan was terrific - friendly and very efficient. We liked every single item on the Chef's tasting menu. The first item was 'bread and butter' - which might sound uneventful but I wish I could have it every day. It was slightly grilled and totally terrific. Following were excellent choices: our favorite was the short rib ravioli. and we preferred the hazelnut dessert choice over the panna cotta. The price was actually a great value! The hostess and bartender were personable and professional (sorry, can't recall their names - we remembered that the bartender had a boyfriend in the service). We had a wonderful evening, and would gladly return!

We had a lovely Christmas brunch at 22 Square today. The overworked staff stayed positive and friendly through a busy peak time, and the food was excellent. A comfortable casual environment for a daytime meal across from the Square. Thank you!
