“Mostly a tourist trap”

Extremely long, long wait for our food. Portion size was decent. Food was actually pretty good, but then again I was starving by the time I was served so that may have affected my judgment. Somewhat pricey relative to the overall quality of the food. The guy dressed in the pirate outfit was annoying and tried repeatedly to "hit on" a teenage member of our party who was there with her mother...tacky and embarrassing for everyone involved.

I would likely try someplace else for seafood in Savannah. This place seems geared toward tourists who perhaps get a kick out of the fact that it's a historic building and maybe a few pirates hung out there a couple of hundred years ago. Ho-hum...typical tourist stuff.

When I was a kid, I went here all the time. That was years ago, and it's a shame because I had such fond memories. I made reservations here for the first time in about 12+ years. Awful. We were seated next to the dish room (piled high with dishes and servers chit chatting), in a very small cramped hallway. Requested to be moved (it was my fiance's first time there, and we wanted to sit with a better view of the house). They said they couldn't move us, even though it was a Saturday evening and the entire restaurant was completely empty! Waited 15 minutes to see our server, so we ordered our drinks and entrees at the same time. Served out drinks and bread promptly, but before we could even butter our bread our entrees came out. To me, that's rude. Did not even take one bite of our entree until the server came back with the check saying "I'll take this when you're ready". Umm, ok, we haven't even tasted our food and you're giving us the check? Very poor service. Guess dessert was off the menu. Never came back to check us for refills or ask how anything was. Began clearing plates before we were even done with our food. We were in and out within 30 minutes for dinner. We felt very rushed and were displeased with the service. Food was ok. The Pirates House was by far the worst meal of our trip.

We had not eaten at this restaurant in over 30 years. The day we visited it was loaded with tourist and it seemed like the buses never stopped. It is an interesting place to vist but don't expect food out of this world. The day we were there they were serving a buffet which contained a very limited number of items. Even those items were not special. Looking at the menu we were not excited about anything we saw. Expect "tourist prices". Service was not bad but it was not outstanding. Just too many tourist packed into a small room and food quickly prepared to serve the masses.

Our waiter was great, the food was pretty good, the prices were way high. Over all we had a fun time hearing all the scary stories of hauntings, my son had a great time. The family got a treat of being in the oldest standing construction in Savannah.

I had country fried steak tips, mashed potatoes and some veggies and this was on special for like $18.00, I thought it was way over priced. My husband ordered the steak loin and it was about $24.00 the plate.

We enjoyed ourselves and don't regret going but wouldn't go again.

I must say after a long day of travelling about in Savannah, I wanted to treat the kids to something unique and I thought that this may be the place-well maybe for them, but not for us. Over, over priced food that I could have got at Long John Silvers! Wow, someone needs to tell the head chef to wake up! We were seated under some A/C ducting that was dripping consistently all over my wife. Just stop by here for the look around for some history, head down by the river, there are plenty of good places to eat down there.
I highly suggest that you read deep into the reviews for this place, to save yourself the heartache and money! Go somewhere worth while in Savannah!
