A crossroads on the way out to the islands. Readers voted its barbecue the best in the city in 2026, and its deli the best for sandwiches.
Castaways is in the Shops at Sandfly, recently renovated and built around executive chef Kirk Blaine, a Savannah native who trained at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park. The menu is seafood, wings, sandwiches and burgers with Lowcountry touches. Dogs are welcome, there is indoor and outdoor seating, and solo acts and small bands play. Its line is 'Where Everyone is Family'.
Driftaway has been in Sandfly since 2001, run by the husband-and-wife team of Robyn and Michele Quattlebaum. They call the cooking 'Casual Coastal Cuisine' ... fresh catch specials with some Caribbean influence ... and the motto is 'good food, good company, Savannah style'. There are patios, live music, brunch, and a private room for gatherings.
