Savannah Room Restaurant

The Savannah Room Restaurant operates inside the University of Georgia Center for Continuing Education and Hotel at 1197 South Lumpkin Street in Athens, GA. The restaurant first opened its doors in 1957, making it the second oldest restaurant in Athens. The menu offers a fusion of contemporary and southern cuisine, featuring gourmet entrees, seafood, steaks, vegetarian selections, sustainable offerings, creative desserts, and a full bar. The setting combines campus elegance with accessible dining that is open to the public, not just hotel guests. Reviewers consistently praise the food quality, reasonable prices, and excellent service provided by student staff members who bring genuine enthusiasm to the table. Lunch service runs Monday through Friday, with additional hours for special events like game days and Mother's Day. With a 4.6 star rating across 38 reviews, The Savannah Room offers something Athens has surprisingly few of: a proper sit down restaurant with white tablecloth quality at reasonable prices, located directly on the beautiful UGA campus. For Athens, GA residents planning a special lunch, visiting parents looking for an impressive campus dining experience, or anyone who appreciates southern cuisine with a contemporary twist, The Savannah Room delivers the elegance that nearly 70 years of continuous operation has refined.
