What People Say

Reviewers on TripAdvisor and Opentable rave about the unique sandwich options—especially the Conquistador and the Godfather—and the friendly, upbeat staff. Many mention how the large portions make it great value for money, and how the patio seating is perfect for people-watching. Guests love the fun cocktail list and say it’s a great spot to hang out before heading to a show.

One reviewer even called it “the best pre-concert fuel in Savannah,” while another praised the “quick service and killer flavor combos.”

Areas for Improvement

Some diners mention that the space can get crowded during peak hours, especially on weekends or right before a big concert. Seating inside is limited, so if the weather isn’t great, you might have to wait or grab your food to go. Also, while the menu is fun and flavorful, it leans more towards casual comfort food than fine dining—so don’t expect white tablecloths.

The Bottom Line

Zunzi’s Zunzibar is a fun, fast, and flavorful stop for concert-goers looking to eat and drink well without missing a beat.
