Treylor Park is a unique restaurant offering New American cuisine mixed with a taste of Southern flare. It was a fun, casual restaurant with great service! Whether you go for brunch, lunch, or breakfast, you will not be disappointed.
The Ordinary Pub
I can’t say enough about the Ordinary Pub – from the food, the staff, and the drinks. I enjoyed a delicious Bloody Mary (still dreaming about it) and some bottomless mimosas. I must say that our waitress made sure that we never saw the bottom of our glasses! Outside of the drinks, the food was a refreshing twist on classic pub fare with fresh ingredients.

Savannah Seafood Shack
YUM, YUM, YUM! Featured on the Food Network, Cooking, and Travel Channels, the Seafood Shack, famous for their low country boil, is a can’t miss spot for seafood lovers. The restaurant is fast-casual so you order and pay at the counter and wait for a runner to bring your meal. The food is super flavorful and quite literally finger-licking good.

Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room
A must-stop for lunch! This restaurant boasts the epitome of southern comfort food and hospitality. With hours of operation limited to 11 am-2 pm, crowds line up around the block for a seat at one of their 10-person shared tables– so be sure to get there early! Once seated, dozens of platters carrying fried chicken, sweet potato soufflè, okra gumbo, and more are served family-style to guests. It’s an experience you don’t want to miss! Please note that Mrs. Wilkes is cash-only.
*Disclaimer – We visited Mrs. Wilkes in 2017, so the experience may have changed as a result of the global pandemic. Please check the website for information about COVID-19 restrictions and the availability of indoor/outdoor dining.
