Spicing up Soul Food favorites with its Jamaican menu, Sweet Spice has become a real hit. Featuring recipes passed down from his mother, owner Donavon Smith is adding Caribbean flavors to the Savannah culinary scene.
The small restaurant makes amazing jerk chicken, but don’t miss out on the braised oxtails. And fear not for the Southern classics — Sweet Spice still serves a mean bread pudding!

I visited Savannah last year and LOVED the food there! Out of the places you mention, I ate at the Olde Pink House and Vic’s on the River. Everything was delicious. I need to get back and try the rest of these spots. 🙂
Mmmm now I’m hungry! I just visited Savannah but only had a few hours, so I didn’t get to sample the local food much. I’d love to visit these rec’s!
Ok that had to be SO fun testing out all that fabulous looking food! What a great resource for finding some great places to eat!
I would enjoy Savannah with all the food on offer. I will add this to my list of places to visit in the USA. Thanks for sharing.
What a great list of restaurants you’ve put together! I like the looks of a couple of them so I’m making a note for when I get to Savannah.
I love Mrs. Wilkes! It’s such a Savannah tradition. Great list!
I just love Savannah so much…. and now I’m so excited for my next trip to try some of these places. Now more than ever, it’s so important to “eat local” & support the local businesses & the locals who live in the places we travel to.
So many good choices! I love Crystal Beer Parlor and Narobia’s. They’re great “mom and pop” shops. In addition to Mrs. Wilkes, which is always a great spot for fried chicken, there’s a little restaurant (outside of the Historic District) called Geneva’s that makes delicious fried chicken!
I loved Savannah when i visited. Can’t wait to get back there and try some of these places!
I love southern shrimp and grits…especially if the shrimp is right off the boat. Now I have an idea of restaurants to visit when I return to Savanah someday. A very complete and yummy list!
