The Spotlight on B. Matthew’s

Comfort Food with Southern Charm in Historic Savannah

Set in a beautifully restored 19th-century building in the heart of the historic district, B. Matthew’s Eatery offers a warm, vintage vibe with exposed brick walls, flickering candles, and a cozy bistro feel. Just a short walk or quick ride from Savannah's most popular concert venues, this local favorite specializes in elevated American comfort food with a Southern twist. Whether you’re craving shrimp and grits, a stacked burger, or a hearty brunch, the menu balances tradition and creativity in all the right ways.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is key, and B. Matthew’s checks that box with its prime spot near Savannah’s riverfront and local music hotspots. The laid-back yet polished atmosphere makes it an ideal pre-show meet-up spot. Guests report quick, friendly service—a major plus for catching your opening act on time. Plus, the restaurant is known for its brunch and early dinner options, letting you fuel up before an evening show without feeling rushed.

Who this Restaurant is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to share plates and raise a toast before the show
  • Solo travelers enjoying a relaxed meal at the bar
  • Couples on a romantic weekend with music and memorable dining
  • Fans wanting a lively but not-too-noisy space to get in the concert mood
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who appreciate quality food without the high price tag

What People Say

Reviews frequently praise the welcoming staff and charming ambiance, with many calling it a “hidden gem” in downtown Savannah. Diners love signature dishes like the Fried Green Tomato BLT and shrimp & grits, and the cocktails get high marks for creativity. The brunch is a standout, especially for early concert-goers or those recovering from a late-night set.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the space can get a little tight during peak hours, so making a reservation is a smart move. Parking in the area may also be limited, but ride-share options are readily available and often the easiest way to arrive stress-free.

l Mackenzie, the manager, greeted us at the door and was so welcoming. Our server Nathaniel was sweet and attentive. I had the salmon and my sister had the burger. Both were delicious. Great...
