2. Local BBQ Seasonings & Sauces

For the grill masters and smoke enthusiasts, these regional sauces and rubs bring serious backyard flavor.

  • Johnny Harris BBQ Sauce has been making their original BBQ sauce in Savannah for more than 100 years. It’s a favorite of locals, and visitors often order it from afar to get their fix. Once you try it, you’ll understand.
  • Tiger Life’s Bomb A$$ Grill Dust BBQ Seasoning hails from Atlanta, Georgia. This blend combines serious flavor and sassy attitude, resulting in a dang-near perfect BBQ seasoning.
  • Gourmet Warehouse Brands is just across the river in Hilton Head, South Carolina. Their Smoky Peach BBQ Sauce and Seasoning combines our famous regional crop with delicious BBQ flavor.

  • Savannah Cheese Straws are famous around town but have loyal fans across the country. They are supremely cheesy and distinctively crunchy with just a bit of kick on the back end.

  • Sassy Mustard was born in Columbus, Georgia. The name says it all—this smooth mustard has just the right amount of kick!

 

4. Savannah Coffee Roasters Bagged Coffee—Cozy mornings begin with a great cup of coffee.
