About
Hitch is the brainchild of Trey Wilder, Bill Wilder, and Rick Kunzi, the same team behind the popular Treylor Park and Treylor Park Beach Party on Tybee Island.
The restaurant opened its doors on July 15, 2016, in a renovated space that once housed the Granite Restaurant and Bar. The name "Hitch" is a continuation of the play on words used with the other eateries. Incorporating Trey's name into "Treylor Park," "Hitch" became the obvious next choice since you need a trailer hitch to pull your double-wide!
The vision for Hitch was to create a space that bridges the gap between fine dining and casual dive bars. By offering a middle ground, you'll discover reasonable prices and inventive Southern-inspired cuisine.
The restaurant's design incorporates industrial elements like exposed brick walls, distressed wood, and copper accents, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Like its sister restaurants, the menu at Hitch features playful takes on comfort food. You'll find creative gems like PB&J Wings and Duck Confit Pizza Pie.
The restaurant's location in the Savannah Historic District makes it easy to add a meal after exploring the area's landmarks. Within walking distance is Chippewa Square as well as the Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist. With so much to see and do in the area, your biggest challenge will be choosing where to begin!
When your crew is craving creative homespun meals in a beach-shack atmosphere, add Hitch to your Georgia getaway to-do list.

Hitch: Menu & Drinks
The one thing all of the Treylor Park restaurants have in common is the shared menu. Here are some standouts to consider when visiting.
Diners rave about the French dip pizza! This unique 10" thin-crust pie features shaved beef, onion marmalade, Swiss cheese, and garlic parmesan aioli. Au jus comes on the side, making you wonder if this is a sandwich or a specialty pizza!
