From decadent grilled cheese varieties to scratch made breakfast platters, each dish balances nostalgia and innovation—perfect fuel for exploring Savannah’s famed squares.
A Menu Worth Quacking About
- Deluxe Grilled Cheese: Think gooey pimento-cheese with tomato jam or smoked gouda with apple slaw—each sandwich earns its reputation as a local favorite.
- Savory Breakfast Staples: Fluffy biscuits and gravy, duck-egg omelets, and house-smoked bacon make mornings here unforgettable.
- Lunch Favorites: Shrimp Po’boys, loaded duck-fat fries, and our top pick—the “Savannah Benedict” with crab-cake “ducks” on top.
- Kids’ Menu: Mini pancakes and grilled cheese “ducklings” ensure even the pickiest little quackers leave happy. Atmosphere & Amenities
Vintage diner charm meets modern flair in the bright, duck-decorated dining room. When weather permits, snag a spot on the sunny patio—ideal for people-watching or catching a bow-tied pup parade.
