The Olde Pink House
A renowned Southern restaurant in an 1771 colonial mansion. Crispy fried flounder is the signature dish, and the underground tavern is a highlight.
The Olde Pink House was built in 1771 for plantation owner James Habersham. It takes its name from the pinkish hue of its brick walls and is one of the few surviving 18th-century buildings in Savannah. Today it is one of the city's most famous Southern cooking restaurants. Signature dishes include crispy fried flounder with apricot sauce, shrimp and grits, and pecan tart. The underground Planters Tavern has live piano performances. The restaurant is beside Reynolds Square. Dinner reservations usually need to be made several weeks in advance. The tavern does not take reservations, so guests must queue.
