5 spots to grab a bite with your dog

We are dog people and Savannah is definately a dog town! So you and your pooch want to grab a bite together. Here are some of our choices (these are all downtown, we’ll tell you about outside of the city another time)….

Clary’s Cafe – This breakfast and lunch spot was made famous in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil for being the place John Berendt met so many oddballs. This is still a unique spot. There are 5 or 6 tables outside and your dog(s) are more than welcome, the servers will even bring them treats (our dogs stop almost every morning).

Vinnie Van GoGo’s - Pizza by the slice is the specialty here. There is a good bit of outside seating and room for you and Fido. For a cheap, good meal for you both, this is a great spot (word to the wise….CASH only here)

Blowin’ Smoke BBQ - Besides really good fried okra, this place has the largest patio in downtown Savannah AND a parking lot! You can sometimes ask them if they have any of those giant beef rib bones — your dog will totally love you for that!

City Market / Ellis Square - Wild Wing’s features lots of outdoor seating and live music on the courtyard many evenings of the week.  Sit back, relax and grab a cold one while you eat and listen to tunes.  Not in the mood for wings? There are small picnic tables right across the street in Ellis Square. Grab takeout from a nearby spot and enjoy the same atmosphere.

Forsyth Park - If it is wide open spaces you and Fido want, this is it! Savannah calls this the “big park”. It features shaded areas with trees and shrubs for sniffing or open lawns for running and frisbee. Bring a picnic and a cooler (and plastic cups) and enjoy some of the best Savannah has to offer. Just please be sure to scoop!
