The most affordable oysters in town! They use to serve fresh clams as well, idk who decided it was a good idea to remove it from the menu. Please bring them back! Love the views from the rooftop bar. There's also patio seating.

Obviously, this place has been around a long time and holds to its reputation. It is the place to go to if you want some oysters and watch the game crabcakes were excellent as well. We sat at the bar place was busy games were on. We really enjoyed ourselves.

stopped in for oysters and we're not disappointed! we had the sampler and each type was great. sabrina was our server and did a good job of keeping our drinks filled and fulfilling food options . there is a heated outdoor patio but we went with the interior bar seating. ( my criticism for this location is out of stock of items) i wanted to order a bloody mary but no olives. wanted a sweet tea, out of tea! ‍

Delicious and plentiful low country boil. One of the best dinners I've had between Charleston, Tampa and Savannah. I've eaten upscale at white tablecloth etc but this was excellent. Food was served quickly but with errors. I ordered a beer and got cider. Wife ordered salad and salmon topping. They forgot the salmon and once reminded brought it out naked to be eaten. Waitress missed but all the food was good.

Yes, yes, and more yes! After a long day of exploring Savannah, my friend and I were on the hunt for some delicious, "treat yo'self" food that wouldn't break the bank, and Sorry Charlie's Oyster Bar was exactly what we were looking for. Even without a reservation, we were seated quickly in the bar area, which turned out to be a perfect spot for catching a bit of football while we ate. The atmosphere was lively yet laid-back, and the service was prompt and friendly. We decided to share a couple of dishes, including the oyster sampler, which featured an incredible selection of some of the freshest oysters I've ever had. Each variety was really fresh, packed with flavor, and expertly shucked. I loved the different sauces that were served with the oyster. We also tried the shrimp and grits, which were creamy, flavorful, and had just the right amount of spice. One highlight of Sorry Charlie's is their rooftop area, which we didn't have time to visit but heard great things about so it's definitely on my list for next time! Whether you're in the mood for fresh seafood, good drinks, or just a fun spot to relax, this place is a must-visit. I have zero complaints and would happily return to Sorry Charlie's anytime. Great food, great vibe, and great service...it's gotta be a Savannah gem!

Stopped in specifically for a drink and ended up ordering a dozen oysters and the shrimp cocktail. Service was top notch, love a waiter who writes down not only the oysters we had, but ones we should try as well. Recommended 3 amazing, different types, and we loved them all. Tiki drinks were excellent. Shrimp cocktail was seasoned well. I'd come back for a full proper meal.

Had an amazing meal here with the family. Absolutely a restaurant I would recommend coming to if you're visiting the Savannah area. Conveniently located two blocks away from River Street, and in a square with many other delicious options to choose from while you are visiting. To start our meal off, we had the steamed muscles and hush puppies. The muscles were served in a beautiful wine sauce with andouille sausage and toasted baguette slices. The wife ordered the seafood and grits, while I ordered the gumbo. Both were very well seasoned and absolutely could not stop eating. The children's menu was your standard affair, with your traditional fingers and fries, burgers etc. My son was not too keen on the fingers, and when I sampled a bite, I too found it way over cooked and super dry. For those who like people watching and being outside, there is patio seating, however, the day we went, it was rather on the humid side and wanted to be on the inside. The restaurant is done well and has a nice modern feel. We sat at a high top counter and the hostess was kind enough to provide a booster seat for my s

Absolutely delicious food, great service, and a chill, groovy atmosphere! First, let me start by saying we were supposed to go to Sorry Charlie's for the Thanksgiving Buffet. Due to a lack of clientele signing up, they had to cancel it. So sad. I found out by receiving a credit on my credit card and called to get the scoop--I thought it was a mistake. It's not cool that I wasn't sent a message of some sort. When I called the staff referred me to the manager Rob, who returned my call to explain and apologize. I was bummed that it wasn't a mistake...we were really looking forward to it. They still had a Thanksgiving meal, but it was just by the plate. My guys wanted a buffet so we chose another restaurant venue instead (huge regret). In turn, we went here anyway for a meal the day before Thanksgiving. On that note...let me tell you, the food is so good...so good!!! Oh My Gosh...I am so completely bummed the buffet didn't work out. So, if you are reading this...pay attention if you are looking for a buffet next year...sign up early so they can "do it"! If the food they have on a daily basis on their regular menu is that good, I can only imagine what the buffet would be like. Plus, the Chef loves Thanksgiving and really wants this to happen. I'm already looking forward to next year in hopes they can do it. Knowing how good our meals were and the appetizers makes us salivate thinking about it! The menu may seem limited to some, but all items are perfected. The portions are ample and the prices are fair. The service is friendly and fast as well. In addition, they have a wonderful bar for just grabbing drinks and light bites. I really want to give a shout-out to the manager Rob for being so kind to us. I really do wish the buffet would have worked out, but in hindsight...we should have just done the plated meals with a few extras. Live and learn! Shout out to the Chef too for creating such delicious recipes! Highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. I know we'll be back!!! Extra Notes: Sorry Charlie's is located on the historic Ellis Square. It is within walking distance of several hotels in the area and the Riverwalk. Moreover, there are garages nearby and limited street parking.

Every single time I've been to Savannah, I've come here for oysters. They have an amazing platter to try all the oysters. My personal favorites are the James river, but honestly everything tastes amazing. The she crab soup is so decadent and flavorful. I've tried both the Bloody Mary and mezcal oyster shots and both I loved. If you like a Smokey flavor , try the mezcal one. The entrees are super filling and delish. I won't stop coming here. The ambience is just so beautiful, they have a roof top seating arrangement as well for when the weather is good. The staff is friendly and warm. Food arrived soon.
