Brunch is such a fun way to get together with friends. You can enjoy some relaxing time sipping mimosas and dining on delicious meals you wouldn’t normally create at home. Here’s a look at some of the best places to grab brunch with your loved ones in the Savannah, Georgia area.

The Funky Brunch Cafe
Located on Broughton Street in downtown Savannah, The Funky Brunch Cafe is a great place to meet up with friends and family to enjoy the late-morning or early-afternoon. The menu is as eclectic as the restaurant name suggests.
Pancakes are available in buttermilk, multi-grain, or gluten-free. You can top them off with a variety of add-ons. Pile some chocolate chips on top, or go for Reese’s Pieces. Fruit lovers can add bananas, strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries. If you’re feeling a little nutty, put some walnuts, pecans, or almonds on top.
For a hearty breakfast, try the Heifer at the Hen-house. It’s a juicy six-ounce sirloin served with eggs your way, toast, and home fries. If you’re feeling the effects of the previous night, the Hangover might just be the cure. It’s a bowl of hash browns topped with cheese and bacon, then smothered in sausage gravy and served with an egg cooked any way you like.
The Black and Blue Grits are their take on a southern classic. This dish starts with creamy grits smothered in their blue cheese Mornay sauce, then topped with blackened lobster and shrimp.

B. Matthews Eatery
Savannah’s Historic District is home for this mainstay brunch hotspot. B. Matthews Eatery started out as a deli and bakery, but the food was so good they morphed into a full-service restaurant. They do brunch every day, but the weekend is the sweet spot if you’re looking to indulge.
The shrimp and grits is made with ham and red eye gravy and is sure to wake you up proper. The shop serves quiche made daily from whatever the chef decides, so be sure to inquire. Eggs Benedict gets an interesting boost with fried green tomatoes, as does the avocado toast with pan-seared salmon.
The classic biscuits and gravy will please traditional southern breakfast appetites, but the vegetarian mushroom version is a flavorful alternative.

Soho South Cafe
Named after the famed New York neighborhood for its proximity to entertainment and chic shopping, Soho South Cafe delivers world-class brunch for Savannah locals every weekend.
Brunch items include a signature Grand Marnier French Toast with house-made almond butter, cinnamon maple syrup, and Grand Marnier caramel sauce. The Veggie Benedict is a wonderful riff on the classic dish, using Portobello mushroom instead of ham and then adding spinach, a poached egg, and hollandaise sauce.
If you want a little southwest flavor, try the breakfast burritos. Imagine two flour tortillas stuffed with all your favorites and topped with salsa, bell peppers, and served with bacon or sausage.
Savannah has a plethora of restaurants that serve brunch. The next time you feel like enjoying brunch with loved ones, check out one of these three great places. Your taste buds will thank you.
