Toasted Barrel - Savannah

A grill cheese restaurant? One would think that if you specialized in something as simple as grilled cheese sandwiches you would have an awesome one but nope mediocre at best. Tomato soup was ok but it was such a small serving for $6 that it was a complete waste of money. We only eat here because it was late and raining out. The next closest place to eat was like 6 minute walk from this hotel, in a heavy rain.... we should have taken the walk...The hotel is nice, a grill cheese restaurant please!

Let me just start out by saying that this place has always stood out to me since I moved to Savannah, and I have been so eager to eat here...but I kind of feel like I've been let down. Atmosphere of this place looked and felt amazing, the lady we had as our server was absolutely PHENOMENAL! So my boyfriend and I ordered the classic grilled cheese and the three cheese sandwich with tomato soup. The sandwiches came out half toasted half soggy, and mine was awkwardly stuck together, so when you pulled it apart, it tore all of the bread and was a mess. The tomato soup honestly tasted like it was out of a can and it had a strange cinnamon bread as croutons on top. I ordered the Footloose to drink, and my boyfriend ordered The 993. His drink was so good! Mine on the other hand smelt like the inside of an Advance auto parts and tasted like how a tire smells...I am very much use to Bourbon/Whiskeys and not mixed drinks so maybe this just wasn't for me all together. The server was more than willing to get me an entire new drink, and it was the Southern Oragami, which was Amazing!!! Our drinks, however, come out way after our food was delivered to us and even patrons that come in way after us had their drinks first, so that was frustrating. I know that they were having a lot of issues with their cook that night and everything just seemed so off, but the server was unbelievably nice and even gave us a free shot at closing. So, like I said, maybe we just got it on a bad day but if it wasn't for our amazing server I wouldn't go back.

Delicious!! Love me a grilled cheese and they have some wonderful ones to choose from (with a tomato soup side if you want traditional), and if you love bourbon look no further they have a whole list. I got the Georgia origami (bourbon, peach, lemon and a twist) and it was so refreshing on a decent hot day. Highly recommend!!Food: 5/5

Very disappointed with Smoked Salmon/Grilled Cheese that had barely any cheese plus salmon was overcooked. Bread was non-descript. Pictures of gooey sandwiches in hotel were exaggerated as saw other with just grilled cheese. Good beer options.

This place is cute and drew us in for a Friday lunch. The bartender was the only person working, and was obviously crazy busy, but had a smile on her face and an awesome attitude the whole time we were there! I had the nutty goat sandwich and my daughter ate the pulled pork grilled cheese. They were both good, but not very large and the side of potato chips was small. However the frozen whiskey sour was delicious on a warm day... highly recommend!
