In Savannah, we tend to fall for the stories many wouldn't consider "mainstream." On the surface, you may know Belford's Savannah Seafood and Steaks for its award-winning seafood and steaks, but there is even more flavor behind the menu.

Sit with us for a while as we unveil the beauty and history behind one of the city's most beloved restaurants.

Belford's Savannah

An Unbreakable Commitment

Since 1996 Belford’s Savannah Seafood and Steaks has been winning awards for its delicious food, not only the seafood and steaks but all the flavors behind the menu. Belford’s sits prominently in the southwest corner of Savannah’s City Market. The beautiful two-story brick structure was built in 1902 to house the Savannah Hebrew Congregation. The Belford family purchased it in 1923 and opened Belford’s Wholesale Grocery. The original signage painted on the exterior brick walls is still visible under the awning and facing Franklin Square. Since opening in 1996 Belford’s Savannah Seafood and Steaks has been unstoppable in its commitment to serving delicious food and remaining one of Savannah’s most popular dining experiences.

Belford's Savannah Seafood and Steaks

They're So Relatable

Experience some of the South’s finest cuisine in a historic casual atmosphere. From the best ingredients to the finest wines, Belford’s Savannah Seafood and Steaks serves a variety of the region’s top dishes for your enjoyment including wet and dry aged USDA Prime steaks, domestic elk chops (try it with Chelsea Goldschmidt merlot) and tender bone-in pork chops. The shrimp and grits are exquisitely elevated at Belford’s. Decadent smoked gouda grits are formed into cakes and deep-fried, served with tender collard greens, poached shrimp, parmesan cheese and topped with chardonnay butter sauce. The jumbo lump crabcakes are consistently award winning and not to be missed.  Belford’s has mastered the art of the Low Country traditional cuisine to bring you a mouth-watering spin on the classics that you’ll never forget.
