A Savannah Tradition Re-Imagined
About Papa’s Bar-B-Que & Seafood
Welcome to Papa’s Bar-B-Que & Seafood, a cherished Savannah institution that has been dishing up mouthwatering Southern comfort for decades. Conveniently located at 119 Charlotte Road on Whitemarsh Island—just minutes from historic downtown Savannah—our restaurant has long been the go-to spot for authentic BBQ, fresh seafood, and that signature Lowcountry warmth that makes you feel right at home.
A New Era with a Familiar Heart
Originally built on the vision of Frank & Judy Outzs, Papa’s is now under the enthusiastic new ownership of Wes Putman, who is dedicated to preserving the rich heritage and local charm that have defined us for so many years. From the moment you walk through our doors, you’ll be greeted by the aroma of slow-smoked ribs, pulled pork, and brisket wafting from our pits, as well as the sizzling goodness of fresh-caught shrimp and fish frying to golden perfection. It’s the same beloved Papa’s you know, sprinkled with Wes’s fresh ideas and dedication to ensuring every guest leaves satisfied—smiles on their faces and maybe a little sauce on their fingers!
What Makes Papa’s So Special?
Authentic Southern Bar-B-Que
Our pitmasters carefully smoke ribs, pulled pork, and brisket over hickory, locking in that signature flavor and tenderness you can only get from true low-and-slow cooking. Every bite transports you back to the heart of real Southern BBQ.
Fresh, Local Seafood
Nestled on Georgia’s coast, we take full advantage of local waters. Whether you’re craving crispy fried shrimp, flaky fish fillets, or succulent oysters, you’ll taste the difference in every bite—fresh, flavorful, and undeniably coastal.
Homemade Sides & Sauces
No Southern meal is complete without the fixin’s. Indulge in creamy mac & cheese, tangy coleslaw, Brunswick stew, hush puppies, and, of course, our famous house-made BBQ sauce. Each side is crafted with care, adding that perfect finishing touch to your plate.
Friendly, Laid-Back Vibe
We may be serious about our food, but we keep things relaxed and welcoming. With rustic décor and genuine hospitality, we treat every guest like family, ensuring you feel right at home the moment you arrive.
Community & Tradition
For generations, Papa’s has been more than just a place to eat—it’s a gathering spot where locals and visitors alike come together to celebrate great company and incredible flavors. Wes Putman is honored to carry on Frank & Judy’s legacy and is committed to supporting local causes, championing the spirit that makes Savannah so special.
