Sam Snead's Oak Grill and Tavern

Sometimes you just have a taste for something, or there is a place you want to go. That happens whenever we pass through Savannah. During the summer months we travel further than Savannah because it stays light longer in the day. We'll end up in Darian or Brunswick. But during the winter months, we will stop sooner and that means Savannah. Unfortunately I don't always remember the actual exit. We like going to Sam Snead's Oak Grill and Tavern for dinner, then stay at an inn close by. But I couldn't match the location of the restaurant with the inn and booked a room one more exit past the restaurant. So we decided to drive back the ten miles just to go to this place for nothing more than a hamburger - but it beat the typical Applebee's or something along those lines. We have always had a good overall experience there. I should have set google maps for Sam Snead's and then move along to the inn, but I wasn't thinking straight. In the end it worked out okay and was at least the fourth time we were there. Now I know the exit and put it in my reminder notes so we don't make the same mistake again. After all, we aren't in any hurry. So we're entitled to making a mistake here and there. It doesn't matter. 

Sam Snead Oak Grill and Tavern

We were there one time before a couple of years ago. Sam Snead's Oak Bar and Tavern must have been memorable, or we wouldn't have made reservations nearby just so we could have dinner there. It was nothing more than a burger and a fish fry, but it was quite good - and very busy! I really don't know much about golf or Sam Snead, but we liked the Tavern feel and the atmosphere. It was also near Savannah, where the accents are very strikingly southern. I always find these sorts of things so charming. Having lived in the Midwest for thirty years, my accent is more like that, while my mom still has a Boston twang. My husband, on the other hand, has a Persian accent...it's hard enough to learn a language, but the accents can throw anyone off! And while working in healthcare, we interacted with people from all over the world. Living in DC and working at the Library of Congress also provided access to people from countries all over the world. But I digress...Sam Snead's place was good!
