Strangebird, located in a restored streamliner in Savannah’s Victorian District, is a neighborhood restaurant that serves casual plates with a Mexican flair. Initially launched in a 1967 Airstream Ambassador as a food truck in 2019 by the team behind FARM Bluffton, Strangebird’s devoted following led to its brick-and-mortar debut in July 2023.
Helmed by Chefs Daniel “Nilo” Aranza and Felipe Vera, longtime members of the FARM Hospitality culinary team, Strangebird offers flavorful dishes from its in-house smoker, including Smokehouse Tacos with nixtamalized tortillas, shareables like Georgia Shrimp Agua Chile, handhelds like Burritos and Birria Burgers, and elevated sides like Refried Butterbeans and Crispy Rice Salad.

Amazing. Stopped for a quick bite on the way out of Savannah and so glad we did. This was our favorite meal. We had the special burger of the days and tacos. The combination of flavors was unique and amazing. Fresh ingredients and food hot off the grill. So good I had to try the banana pudding which was also a fresh take on an old classic and did not disappoint. Definitely left us with a good taste in our mouths for Savannah. Thanks.

This place is great! The first thing that I noticed is how clean it is. The menu isn’t huge, but maybe understated. The ordinary sounding dishes are extraordinary. Update, we stopped in for lunch, and the food is still great. I had a special of the day Cuban sandwich.

Here for the first time and it will be the first of many because the food is simply delicious. The mix of flavors and textures is unique. The burger is delicious, crispy and when you dip it in aju it is even better. The other dish, the “Smokehouse plate,” is amazing too. The guacamole is creamy, the rice is crispy and delicious. In a sentence: I will repeat it. Whoever reads this, come, you won’t regret it.

Great find for lunch!
Walking around Savanna and came upon this old diner style building that has been recently revamped. Beautiful style, cozy unique interior, very good food, and excellent service!
The food is very unique and extremely good, we tried an assortment and were pleased with everything.
The people working there were extremely friendly and helped us choose our meals. Made our lunch even better!
To get to the bathrooms you go outside, then back into an attached building. They were immaculate clean…well done!
Would I go there again…absolutely!
Would I recommend…most definitely!

Very cute little place. Not much seating so it definitely fills up quickly. Their Frozen-Rita and Frozen Sangria are amazing! The breakfast burrito was very nice, enjoyed that they grilled the burrito. The potato to egg ratio was a little off but the potatoes are cooked well. The chimichanga with seasonal veggies added in was great. Had decent heat on its own without adding any sauces. The Pineapple habanero sauce was a great mixture of sweet and heat! The Elote was yummy, corn was perfectly cooked. The crema was flavorful.

A must visit if in Savannah. Definitely not your typical diner food and I mean that in a good way. We got the Cuban Sandwich Special of the day as well as a Birria Burger with Crispy Rice and the LAAB Grilled Shrimp. For Dessert, banana pudding. Everything was delicious! Great atmosphere and service. Don’t sleep on this wonderful place. They also have some off street parking.

I do not like to say cheap eats, but the price for food here is reasonable. The quality of food is amazing too! I had the chicken sandwich, a little dry for my taste but the added sauces they give you made it just the way I like it.
The service was great. We were greeted by a friendly staff as soon as we got in.
Small place, but super intimate.

BEST breakfast burrito I’ve ever had!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This place is great! The atmosphere is very nice and has diner vibes. And the food is truly top notch! If you are in Savannah and visiting Forsyth Park, definitely pop up to Strange Bird!

I mean the location is so cool! Really a rare space and architectural gem in Savannah. That really added to the experience and the wait staff were super sweet and helpful. I do think the food itself could keep pushing in their ambition and vision for what they are trying to do. If the chef keeps tweaking the menu and striving a little bit more, then it will easily be in the tops with the restaurant scene here in SAV.
