“A tourist ripoff in the heart of Savannah”

Cobblestone Cafe

10 Mar 2008

We should have read the reviews first. The problem is, this place, like so many in downtown Savannah, looks quaint. It's not. It's a greasy spoon stuck in the middle of the historic district.

We had one of the cheaper breakfast items, two eggs and bacon. They served us a small plate each, on which were two undercooked eggs -- didn't matter how we'd ordered them ,they were undercooked -- three nearly transparent strips of bacon, hash browns that came out of a bag from the freezer, and white or wheat bread. Sourdough or rye, they informed us, could be purchased for an additional $1.79. All this for $7.99 each. Service was okay.

The eggs were so undercooked that I would question how safe it was to eat them.

The only good part was that we were the only people in the place, which means that maybe the rest of Savannah has caught on, and this place will be put out of its misery soon.

There are dozens of other restaurants close by, at least some of whom serve breakfast.In the interests of your health and your purse, make sure you go to them and not to the Cobblestone.

From the outside, this looks like your average breakfast place, but resist the urge to go inside! The atmosphere is... actually, there is no atmosphere. The place is dark and entirely without charm, and that's the least of its problems.

Where to begin? Let's see, the menus are nothing more than photocopied pages stapled together in a corner. The prices are those you would expect to pay for a gourmet breakfast in a major US city. I opted for eggs with grits and sausage, and disgusting does not even begin to describe this dining experience. I'm pretty sure the sausage patties were bought in the frozen section of the supermarket. The grits formed a runny blob on my plate, and tasted accordingly. The eggs... I mean, is it possible to screw up two eggs over easy? Yes, it is possible.

After finally serving us, the waitress disappeared without a trace. She returned after half an hour only to ask if we wanted more coffee (what do you think?). The bathroom entrance was almost blocked by a table where some hapless couple was probably enjoying their breakfast even less than we were.

It must have taken them fifteen minutes to give us the check, and one of us had to go up and stand there waiting for it. The tab ran to $38 for 3 people - that's with a <15% tip. My memory of Cobblestone cafe will never fade, just like the nausea that persisted well into the afternoon.

I RARELY write reviews of restaurants, and I eat out about 15-20 meals a week (cooking isn't my thing). I consider myself very patient and tolerant when it comes to waitstaff and food quality. I must say - this place was garbage! Not a SINGLE correct meal was brought to us. Very disappointing. I wasn't expecting Paula Deen, but I had hoped for more than dormitory cafeteria!

Mediocre to bad breakfast for an exhorbitant price. We had a 12 yo, 11yo, 10yo, and 8yo with us and 4 adults, $133 for breakfast. I have never seen grey crab before. The waitress interogated the children and if over 10, had to order from the adult menu. Our food took forever and the waitress was slow and only talked to us during the end of the meal. Most of the kids orders were off. French Toast eith Bacon (small plate too) was $11.00 and oj was 3.50 on top of that. We ate lunch the day before with many beers cheaper. Don't waste your time. Crab's Benedict had what I can only hope was cheap canned crab with an orange sauce that had absolutely no flavor.

My daughter cam back from the bathroom and said if you have to go, hold it.

I don't know how this place stays in business except for unknowing tourists which I was formerely one of. It was one of those meals that afterwards, you had wished you walked out.

“Worst Breakfast Ever”

I can't remember how we found this place, but I recall it saying this was a charming old place that served breakfast all day. There was no charm (except maybe that the bathroom had a full shower in it) and to call what we were served breakfast may be stretching it.

This is a place that looks like an old horse stable with black and white tile flooring. There is no decor to speak of. It looks like the place hasn't had a touch of character put into it in close to 30 years.

Our server was "really tired" and couldn't actually speak a full sentence without having to start over. She told us the specials, but not the table next to us.

My fiance ordered the 2 egg special and asked that the eggs not be too runny. What returned 20 minutes later was a plate with eggs that you might find in a McDonalds Bacon, Egg and Cheese buscuit. When putting the food down, the server said,
"I asked them not to overcook it, but it looks like they did anyway." Ummm, when you notice the food's been cooked wrong, you don't just serve it anyway. In addition, the plate came with sausage instead of the requested bacon. We returned it and in a minute she was back. They'd taken the sausage patty off the grits and threw 3 slices of awful bacon on top.

$30 is about right for two people having a one-dish apiece breakfast. Worst $30 I may have ever spent. Please - DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE. Worst breakfast ever... I wonder if there are any good places to eat in this city?
