Authentic BBQ & Seafood Since 1960 | Carey Hilliard's
Founded in 1960 by Carey Hilliard, our restaurant has grown from a single location on Skidaway Road to six cherished Savannah-area establishments. We specialize in hickory-smoked barbecue and fresh seafood, prepared to order using time-honored recipes passed down through generations. Our commitment to quality ingredients and family-friendly service has made us a local institution, serving both everyday meals and special events. With six locations offering dine-in, drive-up, and catering services, we maintain the same warm hospitality that defined our original roadside stand. Our team takes pride in creating memorable dining experiences through consistent quality, reasonable pricing, and personal attention to every customer.

As Savannah's oldest family-owned restaurant, we continue evolving while preserving the traditions that have sustained us for over six decades. From our historic booths to modern amenities like ADA-accessible facilities, we balance heritage with contemporary convenience. Our monthly seafood and chicken specials reflect seasonal availability while maintaining our signature down-home flavor. Whether hosting banquets for 250 guests or serving takeout at midnight, we remain dedicated to exceeding customer expectations through genuine Southern hospitality.
