The Starlander Café

If you live in Savannah and you haven’t visited The Starlander Café, you’re missing out. Located in the Starland district, this gem offers made-to-order paninis, homemade soups and salads. The menu items change from time-to-time, depending on what’s in stock. If you’re lucky enough to sample the tomato guacamole sandwich and creamy, tomato Thai soup, these are some of my favorites. If you visit the Starlander, located off of Drayton St on E. 41st St, you’re bound to meet John Deaderick, owner and founder of the café. This genial guy is a great host for the venue, which not only provides delicious and fresh food, but lots of character. The walls provide gallery space for works of local artists. The café provides both indoor and outdoor seating, so when you bring your furry friend to play in the Savannah Dog Park next door, you can bring him along with you to grab a bite to eat.

John Deaderick had a hand in building the LEED-certified, Starland Lofts, as well as making a continued effort to reunite the neighborhoods surrounding the Starland District. A great deal of the beautification in the area is thanks to Deaderick and his partners.

The Starlander is open Mon-Fri, from 11am to 3pm, and located at 11 E. 41st St.
