Cotton & Rye

Fusing modern techniques with traditional arts like sausage and pâté making, breads from scratch, and grinding our own meat for burgers, we embrace the rich past of our craft while carving our own history with a unique blend of flavorful offerings.

Just minutes from historic Downtown Savannah, Cotton & Rye was originally built in 1953 to house a bank; since then the building has seen various transformations, but none as grand as this. Building up from the strong bones given to us, we created an atmosphere of sophisticated relaxation in the dining room, with modern white brick and sleek maple butcher block with soft accents of cotton throughout. Our outdoor dining space features a covered deck designed with open slats to allow a breeze to break up a warm southern summer’s evening that overlooks an ample lounge replete with sofas, lounge chairs, and tables.

Cotton & Rye was designed to be approachable, stylish, and unpretentious, to accommodate all that come to visit us. We envision a room full of folks stopping by after work, fresh from a day of fishing, or on a first date.  The music ranges from eclectic to modern, but always fun—we created our favorite place to hang out, no matter the occasion.

Our team’s experience has been influenced over time spent in New England, the Deep South, the Southwest and South Florida.  We wish to honor not only the culinary gems of these nooks of the US, but all that she has to offer. Our passion lies in carefully sourced ingredients and the execution of the dish, with breads, pickling and charcuterie all done on premise. Our wine and beer selections are 100% American and our spirits are American driven.
