Tortuga's Island Grille - Breakfast in Savannah
Posted by Rebecca
We tried Tortuga’s Island Grille in Thunderbolt with some friends this weekend and were impressed. The inside lacks ambiance, but if you want somewhere to sit outside on a warm, sunny day, the little patio tables with umbrellas are perfect! Although you can’t see the river from the patio due to the new too-tall condos, it’s directly accross the street.
The food was fantastic. I ordered the Fish and Eggs plate, complete with fresh, local fish, eggs any way you like them, grits, maduros and a biscuit. Maduros are sweet plantains (similar to bananas) that are sort of pan-seared and caramelized. I would go back just for the maduros. The other dishes looked great too. It was a little pricey for breakfast $8-12 per plate, but my husband and I agreed that the dishes were large enough that we could have split something if we wanted. We had our Doberman, Achilles, with us and he got lots of loving and attention and his own water bowl.
