🍑 Georgia’s Best Bites: I-95 Food Stops
Welcome to the Georgia segment of your I-95 culinary journey!
As you traverse the Peach State, including the coastal stretch leading to and from Brunswick, and the metropolitan edge near Port Wentworth and Savannah, you’ll find a wealth of authentic Southern cuisine and regional specialties that make for perfect SoFloDining Approved pit stops. We believe that road trip meals should be a chance to slow down, enjoy local flavor, and savor the state’s character.
Our recommendations in this section focus on dining experiences in and around the Savannah area (including Port Wentworth), which is conveniently just off the interstate, as well as unique local joints along the rest of the I-95 corridor through Georgia, particularly near Brunswick. These are the places that serve food that is good, clean, and fair, offering a true taste of coastal and Southern Georgia hospitality.

Vic’s On the River – 26 East Bay Street, Savannah, GA: second-floor table jutting right over the river, boats gliding past while we ate. First time I ever tasted fried green tomatoes-now I’m addicted, order them everywhere. We ordered a po’boy sandwich, grits, and pecan pie. www.vicontheriver.com
Agave Bar and Grill – 2814 Garden City Connector, Port Wentworth, GA: sizzling plates, fresh tortillas, and one of the only taps in the country-Sol beer flowing right next to Dos Equis. We attacked the fajitas, the quesadilla, and the beer-like last call in Tijuana. www.agavebarandgrill.com
Harris Steak and Seafood – Brunswick, GA: what a great loss. It was one of those spots where everything just worked-blackened pork chop, shrimp and grits, the stuffed potato skins. We really enjoyed every bite. Wish them all the luck, and honestly, hope they resurface soon.
Toucan’s Ale House – 2450 Perry Lane Road, Brunswick, GA: It is a fun, casual spot in Brunswick, GA, that feels like a classic neighborhood pub with a Southern flair. The atmosphere is laid-back, making it a great place to relax with friends or family. They’re well-known for having a huge selection of over 75 beers, but the food is what really sets them apart.
When I ate there, I loved the regional specialties, especially the Brunswick Stew—it was clearly homemade and delicious. The menu also features plenty of fresh seafood and pub classics. Trying the blackened shrimp dinner and the blackened salmon Caesar confirmed they do a great job with their fresh dishes and offer good variety. It’s the perfect place to grab a bite, enjoy a cold drink, and just kick back! www.toucansalehouse.com
