The Resurrection of the Old Crystal Beer Parlor

 The enlarged bar is beautiful and inviting! But beware if you’re much under 5 ft. 5  inches tall….the bar stools can be a bit uncomfortable. The renovations add an airy and lighter feel, all welcome. As to the food, let’s say they’re suffering some growing pains… The famous “Crystal Burger” is passable. Might have been better if cooked medium rare as ordered, but it came well done and dry; onion rings were delicious! Big, fat slices of onion, not overly battered –but a bit too salty. Bowl of chili was excellent. I’d have liked a bit more heat, but probably perfect for lots of folks. The so-called “Greek taco” supposedly a gyro in a pita shell, is neither Greek nor…? Pretty tasteless filling in a soggy shell. Hand cut fries were limpid. But the beer and ale selection is terrific! We’ll give the place another try after a coupe more months.

Eureka!

We’ve been on the hunt for Savannah’s best cornbread for 14 years, and by golly, we’ve just found it!  If you haven’t visited Geneva’s at 2812 Bee Road, you sure are missing out.  Not only is the cornbread out of this world, the greens, mac-n-cheese, and other fixins’ are pretty darn tasty too.  Lastly, don’t forget to get a taste of her made-to-order fried chicken, it won’t disappoint.
