Spanky's River Street - Restaurant in Savannah - 317 E River St, USA

we took a big group here for lunch. Most of the food was good. The fish was way undercooked. The chicken fingers were OK. The nacho supreme, bread and cheese, and the fried shrimp were very very good. The service was awful. It took us forever to get food, refills, and the bill to leave. However, most of the food was pretty good so I would recommend this restaurant.

We ate here after a recommendation. We all ordered the Fish & Chips with spuds as the side. I also ordered a peach margarita. Everyone was raving about the spuds. They were just okay to me and definitely lacked seasoning. The fish and margarita was really good though. I would try again because the atmosphere was great. Good mix of music. Good customer service.

Quirky basement bar and saloon that claims to be home of the original chicken finger. Menu offers a wide variety of pub foods. Ordered queso & chips, a five-piece chicken finger basket with Spanky's spuds, and a personal pepperoni pizza. They were all good, though note that the chicken fingers are battered rather than breaded. Wish we had gotten fries, as the Spuds are underwhelming, though admittedly exactly as described: thick discs of sliced potatoes, battered and fried.

Not very good. Chilli tasted more like tomato soup with chuncks of hamburger. Chicken fingers were flavorless. Spuds were poorly seasoned. We got there opened to door, it was unlocked. We were told they are not opened yet. I asked when they open was told 11:15. Asked what time it was, was told 11:14... was told to wait outside. They locked the door behind us.... less than 1 min later they opened the door and let us in....

Great place to stop and have a quick bite and of course, a terrific cocktail! The food is supposed to be terrific from the pizza to the chicken tenders!

We love Spankys! Great drinks, awesome food and a fun bar! We always look you guys up first when we are in Savannah. Thank you for the great memories.

Shannon our bartender is an absolute Rockstar!! Said she hadn't made an old fashioned in quite a while, but knocked it out of the ballpark!! Amazingly friendly staff created a very casual and comfortable atmosphere!! Kitchen staff was great helping serve for my gluten allergy!

I heard from some locals that this was their go-to spot. I’m glad I listened. I had a shrimp platter and it was great. Biggest surprise? I guess I’ve never had authentic hush puppies before and I’ve been missing out! Everything is lite and not greasy and the flavors are perfect. My server was friendly, helpful, and a real joy!
