West Broad Bandshell · Downtown
West Broad Bandshell blends Korean and Southern cooking rather than running a conventional soul food menu. Founder Tanika Hamilton was born in Seoul, and chef Romie Cummings is Gullah Geechee, and together they serve shrimp and grits and short ribs alongside Korean corn dogs and kimchi. The restaurant sits on the old West Broad Street stretch of the historic Black business corridor, with a mural honoring bandleader King Oliver inside.
Sisters of the New South · Eastside
Sisters of the New South runs a steam table on Skidaway Road covered with all kinds of vegetables and starches, with every member of the barnyard represented on the meats menu. Tim Rutherford wrote in Connect Savannah that portions here can never be deemed moderate, and that it is one of a half dozen such rooms he keeps in rotation. A second location operates on Abercorn Street. Order a meat and three off the steam table.
