This is my favorite chicken wing place in Savannah. I love breaded wings, and theirs always hit the spot. I got the Carolina gold and spicy ranch today, great flavors. Lunch was great and I was in and out pretty quick. Service was great too. It does look like a good place to go get some drinks at too, but I was working. Go check them out!
My first visit to Tailgate and the wings did not disappoint. The lemon pepper, their version is "dry & naked", was definitely on point, fresh, hot and a good size. (Their wings are available "naked" or breaded, with a list of flavors for each type available - a nice touch that can satisfy most people's tastes.) I ordered 8 wings, which came out with a side of tots done with chili and cheese. Unfortunately, the side dish was not up to par, arriving at the table only warm and quickly became colder at the table. The service started well, as we were greeted quickly and our order taken with the initial drink order delivered promptly. However, towards the end of our visit our waitperson was absent for way too long and after a 20 minute wait for the check we wondered if we might have to go find some help. Not good, since that also meant drink refills didn't happen.
Service was great. Very friendly and good sense of humor. Food was was great. So far we have had the pizza dilla. Amazing. With no sauce it is still moist and amazing. The garlic cheeses curds are so juicy. We have tried the wings and not impressed.
I have to start with the food. The loaded potato skins and the breaded lemon pepper kickin chicken was soooooooooo good. The chicken was fresh, hot, crispy, and seasoned perfectly. The potato skins was so fresh I actually ate the skins with every bite and I never did that before. It had an airy, crispy crunch to it; yet packed with so much goodness and flavor. For only $24. I went just to sit down and eat. As I sat there and ate I observed the team—everyone was working so hard and diligently to meet the customers needs. The energy level was high and the staff looked happy to be there putting in that work on a busy Saturday night. I’d come back again and again. See picture.
Newest Update: My husband and I visit Tailgate Sports Bar & Grill often. It is always a positive experience. Went in Saturday 9/14/24 to watch the GA/KY game. One of my sisters met us there. She had never been before. She liked it. Our server was Sam. She was attentive, had a great attitude, and got us our beers and food very quickly. We can't wait to go back. Went to watch a football game Tuesday afternoon. Not many people in at the time. Had lunch and a couple of beers. Our 1st server was Jaci. She was very attentive and we didn't have to wait long for our beers and food. I got the Cuban sandwich with a side salad. It was so good. Our 2nd server, Caitlyn, came on right before we left. She was attentive as well.
