Planters Tavern - Savannah

I started with the strawberry arugula salad, which was delicious, followed by the sautéed shrimp in a creamy ham gravy served over two triangular grit cakes—simply perfect. My husband ordered a burger with fries, and he was thrilled with the double patty. Emily informed us that the fries would be coming out shortly. However, the manager, Sean, stopped by our table to mention that he wasn’t satisfied with the quality of the fries and was sending out a fresh batch. They were hand-cut, and my husband said they were fantastic. Sean even offered to treat us to dessert as an apology for the wait, which wasn’t necessary but was greatly appreciated. We decided on the peanut butter chocolate bomb, and it was absolutely amazing—definitely more than enough for both of us! The Tavern, located in the basement of the Pink House, features several charming dining nooks. I highly recommend it!

We were walk ins at the olde pink house for our anniversary dinner. We ended up being seated in the basement, which is called the planters tavern. It was a dark, very cool place with candle lighting. We had drinks and food from the pink house menu and everything was sooo good. TJ was our bartender and he was very friendly and treated us well. I would recommend it to anyone for experience and delicious food.

DO NOT MISS OUT! Tried to get reservations for the Olde Pink House but no dice. After searching I read reviews about planters tavern and used them as my guide. About 4:50 I walked down the steps to go in…already quite a few people…I am guessing they use part of this for normal reservations. Was able to sit at the bar…and loved the experience. The dark room with candlelight was great. The food…incredible! The bartender and servers were also great. If you are in Savannah…this is a must in my book! Started with a wedge, Caesar and onion rings…really good. The flounder was superb…the pork was so tender and flavorful. And the cocktails were really nice…the **** Mary and the jalapeño margarita were really good.

Service was extraordinary, and food was delicious, we took a lot of pictures. It was a great experience very private seating and the dimness of the lights really set the mood. Will definitely be visiting again.

This place is crazy cool. It’s hidden in the basement of the Pink House. It’s super small, only a few tables, but they serve the full menu from the restaurant above. Reservations are almost certainly required. But you might be able to sneak a seat at the bar if you pop in. Enjoy!
