We ordered oysters and the crab dip pretzel! Both amazing!! Fresh, delicious and quick! Our waitress, Nikki, was fantastic even having multiple larger tables! She still stayed attentive to my husband and I. She was great! Great atmosphere, too! The people singing on the outdoor patio were so fun and really great musicians!! Overall an outstanding experience!

We ate breakfast at The Broken Keel every morning during our stay and really enjoyed it. The food was consistently good, and our server Elijah was wonderful. He recognized us after the first day, was always friendly, and made us feel very welcome each morning. On our last day we were able to sit outside on the balcony overlooking the river, which made for a perfect Savannah breakfast experience. Watching a massive container ship glide by while we ate was such a fun and memorable moment. Definitely recommend stopping here if you’re staying at the River Street Inn or spending time on River Street.

My husband and I ate Blackened Red Fish tacos for lunch with homemade potato chips. It tasted delicious. Our waiter was so kind. His name is Kimbe and he did a fantastic job. We had beautiful views, loved this restaurant.

I really wanted to like this place because the atmosphere and staff were excellent, but the food unfortunately missed the mark for me. I ordered the stuffed flounder, and it was extremely dry and overcooked, which made it hard to enjoy. I also tried the house chips — they were more like potato chips and honestly nothing special. On the positive side, the bar staff was fantastic. Everyone was very friendly, attentive, and gave great service throughout the visit. The atmosphere was also really nice — good vibe, enjoyable setting, and a place I could easily see myself relaxing in for drinks. Overall, I’d rate the food 2/5, but the staff and atmosphere were a solid 5/5. If you’re stopping by for drinks and a good environment, it’s worth a visit — I just hope the kitchen improves.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars — Three Thumbs Up! 👍👍👍 We spontaneously walked into Broken Keel on New Year’s Eve, and honestly, it turned into one of the best restaurant experiences we’ve ever had. From the moment we walked in, we were seated in rockstar seating right next to the band, which instantly set the tone for an unforgettable night. The live music, the energy, the crowd — everything was absolutely spot on. Our server Xannah was nothing short of AMAZING. Truly some of the best service we’ve ever received anywhere. She took care of us all night long, never missed a beat, and treated us like family. Friendly, attentive, fun, and genuinely awesome — she made the entire experience next-level. The food was great, the atmosphere was electric, and the people were fantastic. We stayed all the way until midnight, ringing in the New Year and watching the fireworks — it couldn’t have been more perfect. If you’re anywhere near Savannah, do not miss Broken Keel. Highly recommend — 5 stars, 3 thumbs up, and we’ll absolutely be back! 🎆🍻🎶
