The Grey Restaurant🍽️
Housed in a beautifully restored 1938 art deco Greyhound bus terminal, The Grey has become not just a Savannah culinary landmark, but a national destination under the groundbreaking leadership of Chef Mashama Bailey. Her recent James Beard Award for Outstanding Chef is a testament to a career dedicated to redefining Southern cuisine with respect, creativity, and profound flavor. ✨ The Award-Winning Experience: Historic & Soulful Setting The soaring ceilings, original terrazzo floors, and preserved art deco details create a dining atmosphere that is both grand and deeply rooted in history. A Menu That Tells a Story Chef Bailey’s cooking is a dialogue between her Southern upbringing and her global influences, often described as "Port Rican" (Savannah meets New York's Port Authority).
