A Savannah favorite! They have two locations... one on Bay Street and another on Drayton called HITCH. My favorite is HITCH because it's the newer location and has a little more space and love the vibe. Definitely go here hungry because their food is funky and you will want to try all of it!
Also HITCH has a good amount of outdoor seating and pup friendly.
