huey's on the river

great brunch! parmesan garlicgritsare fantastic and the service was just lovely

salmon with dill sauce and parmesangritswas fabulous!

a little sad with the beignets- doughy in the middle. i got 3 so i was able to eat around it. i wanted that cafe du monde feel but they missed.

went to huey's for breakfast and it was one of the best decisions i've made so far! the place was clean and quaint. my server was really nice and checked on me often. i had the two eggs any style, bacon, cheese grits, and a ln order of beignets. people say the beignets are the star but the cheesegritswere my star!! they were prepared beautifully!!! seasoned to perfection and piping hot. loved them so much!!! overall it's great spot for breakfast in savannah.

huey's had been on my list of 'must try' places on river street due to the raving reviews that i have read. we went there on a saturday evening and the restaurant was fully occupied. we were told that there would be a 20-25 minute wait and we decided to be patient, hoping that it would be well worth it.

much like the reviews below, i have to say that the place was extremely loud. so it is not the ideal place if you want to have a good conversation with your dinner companions. in terms of the interior, it is one of the better decorated places in savannah. it was clean and the views of bustling river street and the water were soothing. 

i decided to try the shrimp and scallop thermidor. the rest of my group went with pan seared scallops, shrimp andgritsand pasta jambalaya. the salads that accompanied the meals were delicious. my thermidor was a little underwhelming as i would have preferred to have my shrimps and scallops seared before they were added to the pasta. however, there were generous amounts of shrimps and scallops in the dish. the pan seared scallops were full of flavour and seared to perfection. thegritswere delicious too. 

although the food did not live up to my expectations, i give them a 3.5 because the atmosphere exceeded my expectations. i look forward to returning to huey's to try some of their other popular dishes.

the spinach artichoke app was delicious and i've never tasted such good spinach artichoke dip. my shrimp andgritswere seasoned perfectly and the cook was great. highly recommend both.

loved the view of the us food truck :(. we went to huey's for breakfast while in savannah for a rugby tournament. i was so excited to have breakfast on the river and enjoy the view. when we arrived the host sat us a table that would have had a great view had the us foods delivery truck not been parked directly in front of the restaurant. the host assured us they would be gone soon as they had already been there for a while. so there we sat... staring at a the delivery truck. it blocked the entire front of the restaurant. our waitress was not friendly. she didn't welcome us or suggest anything. we ordered eggs, bacon,gritsand hash browns. the eggs were very good. kinda hard to mess up scrambled eggs. the hashbrowns were inedible, dry and old looking. the bacon was a step away from cremation. also inedible. we barely saw our waitress and when we did she was in a huge hurry to be somewhere else. after she forgot , twice, she brought us ice cold coffee. we sat at that awesome river view table for over an hour and never saw anything except that us food truck!!!! i went to talk to the manager to tell him how disappointed i was in the atmosphere, service and food. he admitted he should have made the truck pull up as not to block everyone's view and he took the cremated bacon off of our check. i think we actually paid for the coffee. overall our experience was a huge disappointment. we will never go back. definitely not worth the effort.

my favorite savannah restaurant! shrimp andgritswere amazing! crawfish étouffée was delicious, and jambalaya was another absolutely delicious dish. beignets were a nice touch, especially with kids. i would definitely return to eat here again!

my husband and i had a late breakfast and on a whim wanted to try grits. we had the parmesan garlicgritsand they were absolutely wonderful. great service and friendly staff. will definitely return.

huey’s has several eggs benedict variations, and i almost went for the crab cake one, but decided on tomato, with the parmesan garlicgritsrecommended by the server...

"what drives great chefs nuts"

let me start by saying i loved our food and the experience was great because of it.. the terrible service we received, as it sounds other fans received also, would have ruined our lunch if the shrimp andgritswasn't out of this world. why put so much pressure on the chef to perfectly season the shrimp, cook it just the right amount of time, combine it with an unbelievable gravy and the bestgritsi've ever eaten just to hire hacks as waiters who get in the weeds with a full restaurant? either hire more people or get better servers. definitely don't get rid of the chef who made my wife's shrimp creole, cause it was emiril legasse-quality. keep the people who made the pain perdue and beignet's that we as good as cafe du monde in new orleans. the kitchen has it together! the front of the house is a train-wreck.

so if you want great food, stop in to huey's, but come packin' a whole heck of a lot of patience. no offense, chefs.

sat at the bar, good service. eggs ben wth cheesegritsgood. omelette was big and tasty, breakfast potatoes on the side good. will return.

food: shrimp & grits, beignets. entree was good, somewhat pricey for the number of shrimp, moregritsthan i cared to try to eat. beignets were still under cooked on inside but had potential to be good, lets face it fried dough and a heap of powdered sugar is all they are.. nothing mystical.

service: our particular waitress's service was slow, drinks went empty, the little stuff that's easy to control.

restaurant is not baby stroller friendly.

the fried green tomatoes were very good. the shrimp andgritswere delicious. i will definitely come back

love this place! first time we've been here and can't wait to come back. it was a saturday night and we were seated very quickly. our waitress was fantastic. fried green tomatoes are a must. the gumbo is awesome. loved the shrimp andgritsand the shrimp and scallop thermidor was great too!

beautiful view from our dinner table. i had the bowl of gumbo and with a shot of tabasco it was perfect. great flavor. i had some of the cheesegritsand that was delicious. great service and great experience altogether!
