Mother’s Day Grand Buffet
In 1953, Savannah’s popular visionary Herbert Smith Traub and his business partner Jim Casey leaned hard onto the inn’s infamous past and turned it into the Pirate’ s House restaurant. They even insisted that is was haunted by the ghost of Captain Flint — never mind that he was a fictional character. Lunch at The Pirates’ House is buffet style from our Southern Lunch Buffet served daily from 11AM until 3PM. We can accommodate for larger groups with a private buffet in your event room. Sautéed Shrimp tossed with roasted Red Peppers, Spinach, & Alfredo sauce over Pasta. As we say at the top, Savannah is home to a great many wonderful restaurants, historic house museums, and other world-class attractions.
The Trustees Garden
Since 1753, The Pirate's House has been welcoming visitors to Savannah with a bounty of delicious food and drink and rousing good times. Situated a scant block from the Savannah River, the inn became a rendezvous for pirates and visiting sailors from the Seven Seas. The building remained intact through the centuries, but lost its spark and had fallen into disuse after World War II.
Present The World Famous Pirates’ House

Though refurbished to include a modern kitchen and contemporary comforts, the Pirates’ House retains much of its historic flavor.

The American Museum Society recognizes the historic venue as a true house museum.

Unearthing Legends: The Pirates’ House, 1753 – Savannah’s Seafaring Tale
Amidst the cobblestone streets of Savannah’s historic district, there’s a place where legends of swashbuckling pirates come to life – The Pirates’ House. The Pirates’ House sits on the site of the Trustees’ Garden, an experimental garden set up by James Oglethorpe in 1733, four months after arriving in Savannah. The gardener’s house, called the Herb House, was established on the spot. Built in 1734, The Herb House originally housed the gardener for the Trustees’ Garden and is considered the oldest standing building in Georgia.

By 1754, there was no more need for the garden, so the Herb House was expanded into an inn, just as Savannah was evolving into a port town. The inn and tavern had a seedy reputation and was a popular with seamen (and supposedly pirates), thus inspiring many rumors and stories throughout the years. Many believe that the inn in question was actually the Pirates’ House and that Stevenson was inspired to use it as a location after visiting Savannah. To prove the point, several rare early edition pages of “Treasure Island” are hanging on the wall of the Treasure Room at the Pirates’ House restaurant.

The Pirates’ House isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a captivating chapter in Savannah’s maritime history. It weaves legends of pirates and sailors into its culinary narrative, offering diners a taste of the sea in a setting that pays homage to the city’s seafaring past. In a city known for its historical treasures, The Pirates’ House stands as a maritime gem, inviting visitors to embark on a culinary voyage like no other. While its history and architecture are undeniably captivating, The Pirate’s House is equally renowned for its culinary offerings. The menu is a delightful blend of traditional Southern dishes and seafood specialties. Favorites include the honey pecan fried chicken, shrimp and grits, and the legendary she-crab soup.
The establishment also offers a vast selection of rums, paying homage to its pirate legacy. Savannah’s Famous Pirates’ House is located on one of the most historic spots in Georgia. It is here that Trustee’s Garden, the first public agricultural experimental garden in America, was located. Around 1753, when Georgia had become firmly established and the need for the experimental garden no longer existed, the site was developed as a residential section. Since Savannah had become a thriving seaport town, one of the first buildings constructed on the former garden site was naturally an inn for visiting sailors.
Let us know what kinds of things you like to see or do and we’ll point you in the right direction. For those looking for a meal that offers a unique experience, however, there’s nothing quite like dining at The Pirates’ House. We have a full service bar that offers signature drinks, rum flights, & local draft brews. Due to our historic buildings and their layout, we are not able to guarantee larger parties will be sat at one table.
The restaurant boasts 15 dining rooms, each with its unique character and theme. The Captain’s Room, adorned with maritime artifacts, offers a cozy setting, while the Treasure Room, with its display of rare coins and treasures, piques the curiosity of diners. They tilled the agricultural experimental gardens under and replaced or repurposed the existing buildings to create a residential area.
