Little Duck Diner: A Savannah Breakfast Experience Worth the Wait

If you're in Savannah, Little Duck Diner is a must-visit for brunch enthusiasts!

Chrissy Clary

Tucked into the historic Cay Building at 150 W Saint Julian Street, Little Duck Diner serves up Southern comfort with a playful twist. From decadent grilled cheese varieties to scratch-made breakfast platters, each dish balances nostalgia and innovation—perfect fuel for exploring Savannah’s famed squares.

A Menu Worth Quacking About

• Deluxe Grilled Cheese: Think gooey pimento-cheese with tomato jam or smoked gouda with apple slaw—each sandwich earns its reputation as a local favorite. • Savory Breakfast Staples: Fluffy biscuits and gravy, duck-egg omelets, and house-smoked bacon make mornings here unforgettable. • Lunch Favorites: Shrimp Po’boys, loaded duck-fat fries, and our top pick—the “Savannah Benedict” with crab-cake “ducks” on top. • Kids’ Menu: Mini pancakes and grilled cheese “ducklings” ensure even the pickiest little quackers leave happy.

Atmosphere & Amenities

Vintage diner charm meets modern flair in the bright, duck-decorated dining room. When weather permits, snag a spot on the sunny patio—ideal for people-watching or catching a bow-tied pup parade.

Tip: Weekends get busy. Make a reservation or order ahead online so you can minimize wait time and head straight into deliciousness.
