Little James

First the food was awesome. Fries were top notch. The downside was we walked in at 250 for lunch/dinner and was told they open food at 3. She said take a seat if we wanted to wait, and we did. (The menu says all day) So we waited. About 310 someone noticed us and approached us about ordering. IDK if we were supposed to go to the counter or wait for a server. No instructions or signs that I noticed. We go our food and at the end of the day it was worth the wait. I'm glad we stuck it out because a few minutes more we were leaving. Staff and menu need better instructions. This is near SCAD dorms so I noticed students gathering to do homework while drinking coffee. This appears to be a great study hall and not really a restaurant.

I stopped by The Little James in Savannah and got the pumpkin spice latte and a sandwich, both were really good. The service was friendly and welcoming, and the decor had such a nice, cozy vibe. The food took a little while to come out, but everything tasted fresh and was worth the wait. My family was staying at The Ann next door, so it was the perfect spot to grab a bite and relax. Overall, a great experience.

I loved the atmosphere, it’s the perfect place to get work done with lots of comfortable seating. Super friendly staff and the food was amazing. A bit pricey but worth it!

Disappointing Experience at Little James My wife and I were staying at The Ann across the street and decided to try Little James since the hotel gives guests a $15 voucher to use there. Unfortunately, the experience was really disappointing from start to finish. When we arrived, the manager was sitting at the bar chatting with another employee while a line of customers, including us, waited with no one behind the counter. After several minutes, he looked over and said, “We’ll be right with you,” then continued his conversation. We waited nearly 10 minutes before anyone even came to take an order. The prices were outrageous, everything on the menu was nearly $15 or more. Even with our $15 vouchers, we still ended up spending around $80 total for a couple of sandwiches and lemonades. Definitely not worth it. To top it off, the person in front of me tried to order a coffee, but the manager said they “didn’t have a barista”, at what’s supposed to be a coffee shop. He wasn’t apologetic or concerned at all, just dismissive. Between the poor service, lack of professionalism, and inflated prices, Little James was a huge letdown. With so many better spots in Savannah, this one’s easy to skip.

Beautiful cafe, plenty of seatings. However the foods don’t taste good at all. Iced mocha doesn’t have much taste. Chicken pesto is too salty. Muffin is too sweet, basically eat the sugar.
