Alligator Soul

What Alligator Soul does

Alligator Soul is a single-location fine-dining restaurant operating at 114 Barnard Street in Savannah, Georgia, with approximately 23 employees. The restaurant differentiates itself through a menu centered on wild game and exotic proteins, including alligator, kangaroo, antelope, and wild boar, positioning itself as an experiential alternative to traditional steakhouse and seafood concepts in the Savannah market.

The business operates a dual-format model: a primary à la carte dinner service featuring appetizers priced $14–$36, entrées at $43–$58, and dessert at $15–$17, and a sub-brand called The Marsou Room offering a 7-course tasting menu at approximately $200+ per person. Beverage offerings include cocktails ($14–$24), wine flights ($25–$95), and whiskey flights ($75–$95). Operations are supported by SpotHopper as the underlying marketing and commerce platform, OpenTable for reservation distribution, and digital gift cards as an additional sales channel. Leadership consists of Executive Chef William James Deane, Sous Chef Trey Mitchell, and General Manager Michael Stubbs.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through direct-to-consumer transactions with individual diners, supplemented by private event bookings. There is no disclosed funding, no parent company, and no multi-unit footprint. Earned media coverage (WTOC, WSAV, Savannah Morning News) and the "Voted Savannah's Best Dining Experience" recognition constitute the principal brand-building signals on record.
