Where to get burgers in Savannah: downtown and the Southside

Last checked Oct. 6, 2026. Refreshed every three months.

Savannah’s sit-down burger places are downtown and just south of it: Five Guys by Ellis Square, Riverside Burger on the riverwalk and Green Truck Pub on Habersham Street. The drive-thru stores are spread across the city, from Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and East Victory Drive to Mall Boulevard, Waters Avenue, Ogeechee Road and White Bluff Road.

How we made this list. The places come from OpenStreetMap records inside Savannah’s city limits, the same data behind our local directory, checked against each place’s own website on Oct. 6, 2026. We added Green Truck Pub from its own site, Riverside Burger from the Plant Riverside District restaurant directory and Wendy’s stores from Wendy’s own location pages, and we checked every address against the U.S. Census Bureau’s geocoder, so stores with Savannah mailing addresses outside the city line are not here. McDonald’s, Burger King, Sonic and Culver’s have stores in the city, but their location pages blocked our check, so we could not confirm hours; we will add them when we can. The list is alphabetical. It is not a ranking or a recommendation, and nobody paid to be on it. Run one of these places? Write to us to correct your entry.
