Boar's Head Grill & Tavern, Southern restaurant in River Street, Savannah, United States.
Boar's Head Grill & Tavern is a waterfront restaurant in a restored historic cotton warehouse where aged beef, fresh seafood, and Southern regional specialties are prepared daily. The space features indoor and outdoor seating that overlooks the Savannah River and the activity of passing cargo ships.
Established in 1959, this was the first dining spot to open on Savannah's River Street, taking over a cotton storage building from the 1700s. The location has remained active ever since, making it one of the area's longest-running food establishments.
The kitchen keeps alive traditional Southern cooking methods, and dishes like Savannah She Crab Soup and barbecued shrimp with peach sauce reflect local food traditions. Visitors come here to experience flavors that have shaped the regional palate for generations.
The restaurant operates daily from 11 AM through 10 PM and maintains seating both indoors and on the patio overlooking the river. Its location directly on River Street makes it easy to reach while walking along the waterfront district.
The owners Philip and Charlene Branan work directly in the kitchen and source ingredients from local suppliers and producers. This hands-on approach means the owners personally oversee the quality of each dish that leaves the kitchen.
