The 5 Spot
The Five Spot is a neighborhood kitchen and bar in Savannah with two convenient locations. Tucked away in Savannah’s Habersham Village and at the Shops of Sandfly, the Five Spot’s menu consists of modern American fare for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The extremely family-friendly atmosphere serves some of the best burgers you will find. We suggest you go classic and order the table the fried green tomatoes as an appetizer. It is a great way to get the kids to eat a varied diet. The order comes with a generous serving of perfectly seasoned and crispy tomato slices that are hand-breaded and served with some micro-greens.
You can’t go wrong with the Five Spot Classic Burger as an entree. It is two double-stacked patties topped with grilled onions, bacon, pepper jack cheese, lettuce, tomato, and pickles. The satisfying and juicy burger comes with your choice of sides. Choose from green beans, broccoli slaw, cheese grits, or collard greens. We suggest you go with the classic fries, but for an extra $2, indulge yourself and ask for the sweet potato waffle fries. You won’t regret it.
If you have little ones, the Five Spot also has a wonderful kids’ menu, filled with all the staples picky eaters love. Let your kids choose from grilled cheese, chicken tenders, a burger, or mac and cheese. If you’re interested in brunch, there’s a special kids’ menu for brunch too.
