9 Standout Spots for Brunch in Savannah
Where to go for a bloody mary bar or plenty of eggs Benedict

Rhett

Troupial
Troupial restaurant has a new bright location, but it is not new to the food and beverage world. Troupial transformed from pop-ups to a brick and mortar in Savannah and now has a new permanent home.

Every Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Sea Wolf breaks out the CBGB Brunch which involves live country or bluegrass music.
