Update: Sadly, The Gray Market is closing...
Put this place on your list because the Grey Market is a gem of a place. It is small and can get busy, but don't let that discourage you. The food is excellent, as is the service. Fun/cute little spot... it is the baby brother of The Grey on MLK. Check the hours before you go...
Really enjoyed the blueberry jack pancakes with syrup. I passed on the bacon maple butter to make vegetarian friendly. The grits were extremely creamy, not mushy. The collard greens were well seasoned and not too tender. The cheddar spinach biscuit was very good and homemade style. The mimosa with processor delicious. The chocolate chip oatmeal cookie was chewy and great tasting! I will be going back for good food friendly staff and other dishes to try.
Casual sister restaurant of the Grey Market. Came here on a Saturday around 1pm for lunch with a friend. It was short line to order, but it moved quickly. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. Credit cards are accepted. The employees were friendly.
There was a meat + 3 side plate where you had the option to select what you wanted. I got the brown chicken with mac and cheese, Carolina rice, and red peas. You also get a choice of cornbread or a biscuit. I preferred the cornbread, as the biscuit was a bit dry. The rice was really tasty, the mac & cheese tasted alright, and the beans added some moisture. The brown chicken was tender and had good flavor as well. My friend found her catfish to be exceedingly crispy and also liked the rice.
Fantastic chicken sandwich. Unique dishes. Relaxed environment. Highly recommend for lunch. Service is slow, but friendly.
This is an the more casual and neighborhood focused of the two restaurants. The Grey, a couple of blocks away is the pricier dinner restaurant.
Open at 9, they serve coffee and baked goods in the morning, along with some breakfast items. Lunch and are dinner served until 7 pm. I had the fish and grits along with asparagus for lunch.
For dinner I had the market burger. It has to be one of the best burgers I've had. They bake their own brioche buns, grind their own hamburger patties using brisket, they also make a great "come " back sauce and the onions were perfectly carmelized.
There service was fantastic. Oh and there are to go items or groceries to take home with you. This is a must stop if your visiting Savannah.
Great place, delicious local sourced food & drink. The pastrami reuben is grilled and ahhh-mazing! Hubby had the chili dog which was also super tasty! Came in around 2pm and had no problem getting a seat at the counter.
This is a little gem. I got to the museum before it opened at 10 and stopped here (open at 9) to kill some time and look around.
I had an iced coffee and an almond bar. They were excellent. The clientele was varied and interesting. I got the feeling many students and young professionals come here.
There were a few Sundries: drinks, sandwiches, cold side salads, pastries etc. This would be good if you had a hotel nearby or wanted to make a picnic in one of the "squares".

My first visit to TGM was great. I ordered the double cheese burger minus pickle and onion but added a fried egg. It was delicious, hot, and full of flavor. Their "come-back" sauce is a nice complement to the burger with some on the side served to add to if desired.
They bake their own bread and the bun on the burger was outstanding, toasted to perfection and able to stand up to the juicy burger patties without a problem. The potato wedges that come with are really tasty as well.
The service provided was excellent. We were in-and-out for lunch in about 35 minutes but note, we arrived around 120 pm. Their dining area does have a counter that adds capacity but it is not a very big place. Expect a wait at peak times but it is definitely worth it.
Very clean and organized were my first thoughts when I walked in. I was greeted promptly with a smile and ordered the NYC breakfast sandwich. I got a coffee and a coffee cake while I waited. The coffee cake was fresh and tasty. They have an assortment or snacks and drinks. The whole package here. I’d go back tomorrow.

We both got the double cheeseburger. It's like au cheval without the wait. This is a top 10 USA burger, maybe the top. This cheeseburger is ridiculously good. The potato roll is perfect, the secret sauce is amazing, the pickles have a little bit of spice, caramelized onions perfectly complement the crisp edges and soft juicy inner of the meat. You have to go it's so good.
Small space, limited exterior seating. Arrived right around open for breakfast. Hearty breakfast sandwich, nice selection of merch, [brunch] cocktails available. Would recommend for grab-and-go as interior high-top seating is uncomfortable and directly in-line of a high traffic corridor (front door to bathroom).
I wish I could give The Grey Market 6 stars out of 5. Exceeded my expectations. Went here every day during my trip to Savannah. The inside resembles an old-fashioned diner and is really well decorated. Additionally, there are a lot of things to purchase from hats, shirts, cookbooks, to jarred pickles, etc. For lunch I had the Pulled Pork Sandwich and boy was it delicious! For breakfast I got the Biscuit Sandwich and a Bloody Mary. Best biscuit I’ve ever had… yum. Their sister restaurant, The Grey, is also an option for a nice dinner but you’ll need to get reservations ahead of time.
My favorite place in Savannah. Just order anything you feel like and it will be a great choice. Staff friendly and very nice atmosphere!
Café vibes with high quality dishes that are full of flavor. We each had a burger with potato wedges.
The burger was perfectly cooked with thick cut bacon as my only add on. One patty was enough for me but two is an option if you're interested in a food coma 😴.
The potatoes were unique! The wedges were crisped to perfection on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and dusted generously with nutritional yeast. It was paired with a special sauce that we used for dipping.
You can't beat it for the price and this "sister" restaurant to "The Gray" keeps delicious food accessible to all.
Bonus points for having a black chef running the menu. ☺
What a memorable place, I'll be back asap!!! Refreshing communal novel and artisinal setting with a bustling energy and refreshing and menu. Service was great, I wouldn't have changed a thing. I had a lovely grilled lamb wrap with the fluffiest potato wedges I've ever had.
This should be easy up there on your places to visit in Savannah.
Food was good. Ready made pies were great along with the sandwich. Most of the staff were friendly. Everyone has an off day.
The grey market is by far my favorite brunch breakfast spot in Savannah. The service is hands down the best. The grits are hands down the best. The blackened fish is succulent and excellently seasoned. The food is always fresh. They have bespoke items in the shop to complete the bodega feeling. I really can't say enough about this place. Quite a few things are made from scratch. They also have an amazing granola and the cookies are also amazing. I go here once a weekend almost.
Lovely staff,food is awesome.great place to pick up a picnic and enjoy it at one of the many parka
Always stop at Grey Market when in Savannah. Always great coffee and biscuits/scones. Tried the chicken sandwich today for the first time-didn’t disappoint. Staff isn’t very attentive, but the register person was quite friendly.
