The Grey

"A weekend sojourn in Savannah is only complete with a Sunday brunch reservation at The Grey. From 11 a.m.-3 p.m., the repurposed art deco Greyhound Bus Terminal reawakens with a live band, big city brunch fare, and lots of bubbles. The menu rotates seasonally but always includes a satisfying range of light options like smoked fish and savory Southern classics of the biscuits and gravy and crab beignets persuasion." - Kiki Dy

"What was once a Greyhound bus terminal is now an award-winning restaurant with comforting yet unexpected dishes. Top-notch cocktails and a focus on hospitality only add to its charisma. Chef Mashama Bailey earned the James Beard Foundation’s Best Chef Southeast award in 2019 for her imaginative meals at this unique, can’t-miss spot." - Karen Norian

"The Grey is a game-changing restaurant that opened in an art deco Greyhound bus station and offers progressive Southern cooking, drawing travelers, locals, and national press." - Caroline Hatchett

"The Grey is located in the city’s formerly segregated Greyhound bus depot, and you might've seen them featured in an episode of Chef’s Table serving their spin on a Savannah childhood favorite, the “thrills.” There are a couple different ways to eat here, all serving dishes that feel totally representative of the city.  In the main dining room, you’ll find sleek banquettes, moody lighting, and a prix-fixe menu focused on seafood and whatever is in season, which might include smoked pork with hominy or purloo Carolina Gold rice with salted fish. For something more casual, The Diner Bar in the Art Deco waiting room has an a-la-carte menu with similar dishes like fish croquettes and chicken Country Captain, a one-pot stew with Indian spices. And if neither of those work out, grab a bite at their casual bodega-like option, The Grey Market, for benne seed bagels and pastrami reubens." - caroline eubanks

"The Grey has, arguably, become the best known restaurant in Savannah, outside of Savannah. Located downtown in a restored, Art Deco Greyhound bus station — hence the name — the Grey is a Port City Southern kitchen led by Georgia-born and James Beard award-winning chef Mashama Bailey. The menu varies by season and sometimes even by the evening, but diners can always expect familiar Southern food prepared both creatively and impressively. If you can’t get a reservation in the dining room, tuck into the diner bar menu, which sometimes features fried shrimp, pork pate, and a popular burger." - Elizabeth Bowers
