What a great find on Tybee Island! The beers are great, but the food is what brings us back! My go-tos are the smoked beet salad (no dirt tasting beets here!) and the Thai chicken naan, but today I had the pimento cheese and brisket. Soft shredded brisket over top of pimento cheese served with toasted bread- So very good! My husband had the the buffalo chicken wrap and said it was just as good as the brisket quesadilla he usually gets. The staff is always personable and prompt. You will like eating here!

Loved this down home hokey bar and brewery. Super authentic, friendly attentive service. They make their own brews right next door, and smoke their own meat. They are proud of it, for good reason. Not high-end, but a great salty taste of Tybee Island. Very rustic. Try it out if you like rustic and salty.

I am so glad we stumbled upon this hidden gem!! You enter to go upstairs through a Mexican restarting, but don’t let it fool you. I didn’t try the beers because I didn’t want to get full, but the food was incredible and we can’t stop talking about it!! I want to take the 4 hour trip back just to eat there. The Pimento Chrese Brisket appetizer was to die for, the Brisket Quesadilla was incredible, and so was the Smoked Turkey Sandwich. The cucumber salad was so unique as it was creamy and so full of a unique flavor. At first it seemed a bit pricey, but once you Taste it and the fresh ingredients, you can see why. A must try!

This spot was within walking distance of our rental; you enter through Agave Bar & Grill and head upstairs. Seating is limited to bar and high-top tables. We arrived on trivia night, which added to the fun! The service was excellent, and while the food and drinks were just okay, the friendly atmosphere made up for it. Our kids had a blast dancing, and the staff even gave them stickers. Overall, a great night out!

Adding another review because the food looked just as amazing as it tasted! The presentation was beautiful - you can tell the chef puts heart into every plate. From the Caprese salad to the brisket quesadillas and that heavenly cinnamon roll, everything was picture-perfect and full of flavor. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Savannah — Back River Brewery is a hidden gem worth every bite!
