Definitely a dive-y bar type vibe, but for what it is my husband and I really enjoyed it. Super simple menu, shrimp, crab legs, a low country boil platter with potstoes, sausage and corn, and a few sides to choose from. For people not looking for seafood they also had chili, grilled cheese, and hot dogs.
The seafood was really good, and really tasted fresh, we shared the low country platter and a full order of crab legs. I was also a fan of the macaroni salad.
The server was nice enough to bring us crackers for our toddler, which helped because it was all cooked to order and took a minute for the food to arrive. But I thought it worth the wait!
We had a nice view of the river as well while we dined.
It wasn't fancy, but it was perfect for a casual dinner of decent seafood.
Had an amazing time here. Food is beyond spectacular. David makes the simple boiled seafood into something divine.
Super excited to hear you are re-opening! Can't wait-

Tonight was my last night in Savannah before heading back home and I couldn't be happier that I chose to enjoy a wonderful dinner at Desposito's. I started on the main course that I had ordered and quickly decided that I'd be ordering more. I ended up taste testing nearly half the items on their menu. The seafood was fresh and everything was bursting with all the right flavors. Besides the food being stellar, I especially enjoyed the low country atmosphere and the terrifically kind people that made dinner an experience that will remind me fondly of Savannah. This place is not fancy, nor should it be. That would ruin the effortless charm this place exudes. At some point in the night, the restaurant owner's mother came in and she was as kind as can be. She made sure that everyone was enjoying their meals. I've been lucky enough to have traveled quite a bit. I've lived in big cities. But I must say, Desposito's is quite a find as it excels in true Southern hospitality and fresh seafood! I would definitely recommend this place for a casual, yet special, dining experience.
I am so glad to hear this places opening back up it really upset me when they closed because it was one of the last true Savannah restaurants left as it was in the old days and I can't wait to see how it's going to turn out now but I know that the food will be great
Best boiled shrimp in town. So tasty, you do not need shrimp sauce. But they do have good shrimp sauce for a change of pace. It's an intimate small place where the owners have kept it open because they like making great food and pouring cold beer. The menu is simple, but everything on the menu is prepared to perfection. They do not dye the key lime pie...its off white, like it should be. And it tastes great... kind of hard to find, if you don't use the boat ramp... it is definitely worth the hunt.
A no frills hole in the wall seafood place just like you used to see in the movies. Probably the freshest, tastiest boiled shrimp you'll ever eat-- I asked the proprietor how he seasons them, and he said he doesn't-- that's your job! They taste so good, he said, because they're fresh caught that day. Service was fast and friendly when we were there, but they weren't busy then, either. If I lived in Savannah, I would be here all the time.
