Beautiful basement level restaurant in what I assume was a historic building, but to be honest we didn’t hear anything about it. We were just happy they were willing to seat us late in the evening at the bar since they were booked for table reservations.

A lot of unique and delicious dishes on the menu - including gumbo with unbelievably flavorful frog legs! The alligator mac and jalapeño poppers were also fantastic.

This is not a casual dining spot, so expect to spend a bit - but it’s totally worth it. A really hip, elegant and different space with friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Highly recommended.

The service was incredible; however, the food didn't match the level of service and decor. Generally, the dishes were okay, but the baked brie was cool in the center when I expected warm and gooey cheese upon cutting. The crab cake was a little dry, the scallops were charred too much, and the croutons in the salad were a bit soggy. I mostly enjoyed the wine, with hidden gems to be found in the expansive list.

Amazing food and service. Highly recommend everything. We had the alligator fritters and jalapeno poppers with alligator chorizo for appetizers, the antelope was the chefs special, and we usually don't get desert, but decided to try the banana cream pie. Everything we received blew us away, and the drinks were great as well. Our server Sam was very knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make sure our experience was perfect from start to finish.

I’ve wanted to try Alligator Soul for 3 years. Yesterday I had my birthday dinner there thank to my wife.

The food, atmosphere and service were excellent! For starters we had the Alligator Bites, Shrimp and Grits, Gumbo and the Alligator Mac and Cheese which was the best Mac and Cheese I’ve ever had! Our server Judd was great and I decided to try the Antelope Steak which was phenomenal. The wife had the crab cake she liked it and so did I.

For dessert had coffee and the banana cheesecake yum.

Overall a great experience and highly recommended.

We've been to a few of the fine dining restaurants in Savannah and we have found the best value, so far, to be here at Alligator Soul. At this price point, you expect great service and you get it. The menu has something for the adventurous, like wild game and kangaroo, but it also has jazzed up lowcountry classics like gumbo or shrimp and grits. We will be coming back for more!

Honestly, I spent a week in Savannah and went to as many high end restaurants as possible, and this was my favorite by far!! Exotic meats and the best flavors in town. Also, bartender Harley made me the most perfectly balanced dirty Martini I’ve had in a while. Highly recommend!

This restaurant has such a beautiful dinning room. The food is amazing with great options for those who want to be adventurous. I got the alligator fritters, which were delightful and had a spicy kick to them. I also got the gumbo (which had frog legs). I have never had frog legs before and I was scared to try them. The frog legs tasted great!! I would definitely go back to Alligator Soul and would recommend it anyone passing by Savannah. If you can’t get a reservation, don’t be afraid to arrive at opening and see if they can accommodate your party (this approach works especially well for 1-2 people).

We cannot say enough good things about Alligator Soul. We made reservations in advance which I recommend. The service was impeccable. The food was delicious! We recommend the alligator fritters, frog legs and gumbo dishes. My husband ate the antelope special entree which was cooked to perfection! Our cocktails were well balanced. The restaurant prides themselves on farm to table style cuisine. They really out did themselves!!
