I arrived expecting a Cantina experience. The cantina experience was abruptly ended when I saw that it cost four dollars a taco. My experience was ecpecially stifled when only did they bring me a so called taco in a under cooked low quality flour tortilla. As a Texas Mexican I felt as if I was spit in the face by elitest scum. I understand over priced tacos and I understand over priced bad flour "tacos" but the two together was especially disturbing.

I love the fried pickles and the plantains. I get them everytime I go there. The waitress was not attentive and the kitchen must have been backed up because it took a while for everyone in ny party to get their food. That was a first because I have been to the restaurant several times and I always had great service.

Sooo filling, priced just right. Beef brisket was tender enough that it fell off the fork, friend pickle spears. My suggestion if you have a large group of people, reservation a space. Service was hopping they checked and double checked to make sure you were satisfied. They didn't cover, the food was delicious and filling. I am highly satisfied, when in the area again, for sure I will come back.

Okay, seriously, eff this place. Gnats, flies, stupidity, oh my! I ordered the BBQ pork salad and the girl thought I ordered a turkey club...do they even have that on their menu? My friend wanted to order a dairy free taco, and the girl was confused as to what dairy free meant. I finally got the correct salad only to find that the croutons are in fact, oyster crackers. My friend's dairy free taco was just falafel and like one shred of lettuce. Seriously, do not go here for any reason. Just drive on by and go somewhere else.

My wife and I came here for dinner our first night in Savannah. We both love BBQ so we thought we would check it out. We both got the pulled pork plate and really enjoyed the flavor. The portion size was generous and came with two sides. The service was great as well. We will be back when we revisit Savannah!

Food is sub-par at best. Just go to Bull Street Tacos if you want much better food at the same price. Management is trash at this place. Support businesses that care about their employees well-being.

I usually have the pleasure of dining at Blowin' Smoke with kudos to share. However, today was not one of those occasions.

The four of us ordered assorted entrees and 1 took an hour to arrive while the others took 10 additional minutes--meaning that two people shared the one entree while we waited for the remaining food. When it came, the brisket was all fat as if drippings from the bottom of the pan--which was confirmed as a possibility by the manager Casey.

Aubrey the server was chipper, pleasant, and very apologetic, but blamed the situation and nothing in particular. When the manager Casey arrived our comments were polite we only saught an authentic apology and perhaps edible brisket. After an $80 meal, the reparations of a $25 gift card were accepted as consideration.

I look forward to a better experience next time.

Great food at a great price! The name is a little deceiving- this isn't a BBQ place. They have awesome tacos- a huge variety and it's hard to pick! The margaritas are awesome as is the home made Chaco taco. I'll definitely be back!

Super Cute Restaurant not in the best area. Easy parking, family, & pet friendly but I feel that the food was just ok. Very delicious lightly smoked meats but unfortunately it fell short in seasoning. The half chicken was bland, it was super moist, so great spot for anyone looking to smother everything in barbq sauce.

The best fried green tomatoes! Pulled pork and collard green were phenomenal. Kelly was super sweet and attentive. She even gave us water to go to keep us hydrated under the Georgia sun. I will definitely come back. Thank you Kelly!

If I could give it 1/2 a star I would. The food is ok, but the time you wait because the service is absolutely horrible is not worth it. I gave them more than one chance and every time was terrible.

Ate at Blowin' Smoke last week...food and service was excellant. Went back a week later and sat at the bar....service was abysmal......food was okay. The bartender gave me attitude when i asked to order dinner, waited 15 minutes with an empty beer before we decided to leave. Took another 20 minutes before she gave me our bill. In the restaurants defense, they had sponsored a SPCA night and were bombed......but that should not effect "non-SPCA" patrons.....DISAPPOINTED

The giant rib is amazing! Literally fall off the bone deliciousness. $5 margaritas and sangria, good service, what's not to love? They were out of their fried pickles which was a bummer but oh well.

Good food. Friendly service. Not fast but a relaxing meal. Dog friendly on the patio and will give them a big bone if you ask. They do run out of bones at times. Not a huge menu but always do have a great daily special of two or three items to add to it.
They could have fans on the patio for summers in Savannah. Sort of a necessity since about half the seating is outside.

Traveling through Savannah with a party of 10 and decided to find some local barbecue. This was a great choice for us! Service was good, with the exception of the bar - I didn't get my mule until after the food came and it was not a busy time of the day. However, the food was great and just what we were hoping for. Everything from the pulled pork, grilled chicken, appetizers to tacos were great! The collards were especially delicious and tasted like they were cooked by a real southern grandma. Try the sweet potato potato salad if you're in the mood for something out of the ordinary. Be warned that even though you're inside, it may still be a bit warm. We sat by the fans and were comfortable, but if you're hot-natured you may want to sit in the bar area in summer. All in all, we really enjoyed our meal.

Poor service... 5 min wait at bar to be greeted, then additional five for water.... Male bartender took drink order and forgot it for about an additional 10 min... Nachos came out with a very sloppy presentation and wilted lettuce and they forgot the sourcream... Again, the bartender hadn't given us napkins or settings, we asked for sour cream and had to cancel it as it hadn't come before we were basically done eating... Nice ambiance...

It was our first time here. I got the pork torta w/ a fried onion ring and coleslaw (extra $0.50). It was honestly kinda dry until the end and they barely put a teaspoon of slaw in it. As I opened the sandwich to make sure there was any slaw at all in it, Chelsea, our server noticed and asked if anything was wrong. I explained that I was expecting a bit more slaw than a smidge since it was extra $$ and at first she said that't what they normally put. Feeling gipped, put raised not to waste food, I continued eating the sandwich which got juicier towards the end. A few minutes later, when I had just a few bites left, she came back and left me a heeping sauce container of slaw saying "wait don't eat it (the sandwich) all yet!" That but more slaw made ALL the difference! She was SUCH A DOLL and came to check on us at least 4 times not including our drink then food order. Very attentive and had great suggestions from the menu including what goes good with what.
We sat outside on a Friday night to experience the full ambiance and hear the guest singer and guitarist better but they ended VERY shortly after we sat down around 9:40 pm. If you can't stand the humidity or bugs, dont sit outside. I had a decent-size spider suddenly appear on my menu as I was ordering and a table full of girls next to us started screaming towards the end of our meal because of what looked like a moth flying into their food and drinks. One shouted cockroach, but it didnt look like one to me.
My friend got the "pick 3 tacos and a side" meal. She ate one brisket taco and all of her fried pickle skewers and she was full. They were very big and generous looking tacos.

ATTENTION ALL FOODIES!! This is the resturant for you!! Ive eaten here two times, the first was a take out of three different tacos (Shrimp, Spicy Stake, lightly fried chicken). The second my family and I ate in. We had the $5 dolla holla, Tacos, Sopapilla and Choco Ice cream Tacos. I even got an order of Fajita Grande for lunch tomorrow. Food is amazing and wait staff is great. Awesome atmosphere as well. Talked to the head chef tonight and he has good ideas for the month of March for the first 10 days. This place is well worth it and highly recommended to tourists and locals.

Nice atmosphere great staff but the food is so bland. I've eaten here twice, ordered 2 different dishes and both tasted like there wasn't a pinch of seasoning. Unseasoned chicken and brisket. Only thing that saved my meal was the barbeque sauce.

Pretty good eats with bright vibrant flavors packed into a warm flour tortilla! The outdoor seating is refreshing, and the menu had a nice variety of options for the beef lover, chicken lover, pork lover, or VEGGIE lover haha! There were also many tasty looking signature cocktails and draft beer, always a plus for me. The service was a bit slow, that's the only reason this venue didnt creep into the coveted 5-star range for me. Will definitely put this on the list of places to come back to and frequent again!

Visiting from out of town on the 4th and needed a place to take the family to eat. The ribs and brisket were amazing...Along with the homemade BBQ potato chips. Good place to take families too.

Cool place! Have visited here a few times. Sign at the entrance said "Ask server how to get Free Chips and Salsa". We asked, and our server had no idea. No one had explained to her. When serving us, she was in such a hurry, and they really weren't that busy. We ordered two margaritas. They came without salted rims. We asked and she made it almost sound as if it was our fault. She never asked of we wanted salted rim. It took a few times to have our drinks made correctly. She needed to slow down.

We used to really love this place. Something has changed over the last few months. Food changed and is now dry and flavor less and they only give you one small thing of sauce instead of asking which you want. They removed a lot of good food off the menu and really did not add anything great. Service dropped off too.

While this place is listed as a barbecue place, I'm not sure I would call it that based on their menu. However, they do serve some BBQ items. I didn't try them, but the smell alone made it seem like it would be good.

I had three different kinds of tacos that were all good, but the Chili Lime Chicky was my favorite, then the Blackened Fish, and finally the Pollo Loco. For my side, I picked Sweet Plantains, which could have substituted for dessert.

I also tried the Honey-Jalapeno margarita. Definitely an interesting flavor on top of a traditional margarita. Wasn't very strong, but that was fine.

The atmosphere made this place even more awesome. Very laid back and pet friendly. Seems to be in the middle of a residential area. Mostly outdoor seating. Wait staff is attentive and knowledgeable about the menu and drinks.

I would definitely come back.

Menu choices are far fewer, all the best choices are gone. Used to be vegetarian friendly, but no longer the case. It is no longer a friendly relaxing restaurant, more of an expensive fast food taco joint.
