Savannah BBQ: Starland District

Bull Street south of the park, where a lot of the newer cooking is. Starland Yard is a food park with three kitchens and rotating trucks. The area has turned over fast: Back in the Day Bakery, Starland Cafe and Squirrel's Pizza have all closed, and new rooms took each space.

Starland Yard

Starland District · pizza, bbq, sandwiches, food trucks

Starland Yard is a food park with a full bar, three built-in kitchens and rotating food trucks, made for groups who cannot agree on what to eat. Pizzeria Vittoria is Kyle Jacovino's naturally leavened pizza, fermented up to 48 hours and baked in a Moretti Forni hearth oven. Uncle June's is Reid Henninger's sandwich counter and T-Rex Barbecue smokes on site. Savannah Magazine sends families here for giant Jenga on artificial turf, cornhole and, in summer, a small blow-up water slide.

Starland District · bbq, tex-mex

T-Rex Barbecue is one of three built-in kitchens at Starland Yard and the sibling of the sandwich counter Uncle June's. Starland Yard says everything is smoked daily on site in a 500-gallon wood-fired pit ... beef brisket, smoked wings, a fried chicken sandwich ... and served with Tex-Mex sides of rice, beans, fresh salsas and tortillas. The venue does not name the wood.
