No fried green tomatoes, shrimp cakes or an ice bucket for our bottle of wine. With only 2 other tables dining it was hard to imagine? I ask you how can you say you have "homemade" chips and tell us you are out...yet still offer potato skins and baked potato? Thankfully the jerked triple tail and shrimp and grits were... More

We had not been to Savannah in years and went to Tripadvisor to find someplace to eat. This place was awesome. Cozy atmosphere, candlelit and quiet, great service, and dinners that were so good we can't wait to go back. We simply Loved it.

Great location in Thunderbolt. The shrimp and grits are my fav. Drinks are priced right, and the service is always prompt. Joyce is my favorite, and always has great suggestions. The owner's are very accomadating.

The blackened grouper BLT is wonderful, as is the homemade potato chips with blue cheese appetizer. Yummmmm. The service is friendly and the atmosphere is nice. We make a point to have a meal at Tortugas each time we visit Savannah, although it seems most of the clientele are locals.

While there is very little ambience at Tortugas' , the food is always exceptional---and after all that is what to expect in a restaurant. This is a small business restaurant which serves a varing menu , gives service with a smile and provides a very relaxing atmosphere. One reason , we go there often, is that it is one of... More

We chose to eat there based on tripadvisor's reviews and we were very disappointed. First the atmosphere was depressing and the first three things we asked for they were out of. The menu was very limited on seafood choices and the prices were too high for what you got. The shrimp grilled sandwich was the best thing we ordered. It... More

My husband and I ate dinner here tonight - a first visit to the Tortuga Grille. Not a physically appealing space and very noisy with a party going on in an adjoining room, it nevertheless provided us with a great meal! Had fried green tomatoes as an appetizer - yummy. Our two entrees were a grouper special and a black... More

Took my wife and I on a weekend for a late lunch. No one else was at the restaurant so it was very quiet. The server was nice but not very outgoing so it was hard to know what other specials were available until I asked. Ordered the friend green tomatoes and they were average but the sandwiches we ordered... More
