The Peanut Shop of Savannah

Flavored peanuts, so many choices. From sweet to spicy to chocolate covered. Samples of every flavor they offer. Buy three get one free promo.

We were walking along the River Street we’re walking in the other stores and decided to stop in the peanut store. They advertise the best samples and they really do mean it. You can sample just about every single item they have and they don’t hover over you and make you feel bad for taking samples. Luckily when I came in they had a special of buy 3 get 1 free so I was able to get a great deal on some peanuts. They had some very unique flavors such as kettle-​cooked candy peanuts with jalapeño. I wasn’t expecting the jalapeño first because I hadn’t noticed it on the container but it quickly became one of my favorites. It is unique and flavorful. The other three cans we got were the smoked bacon and cheddar. The other people I was with all of this later in the month because it is quite unique and tasted great. Other then the huge amount of peanuts they also had some other nuts like almonds and cashews as well as some other snacks and spreads.

Visit for all the samples of the wonderful nut varieties they sell. But you will end up buying at least one tin because they are so delicious. They also have a great selection of sauces, jellies, candy, and other delicious gourmet food items.

We stopped in here while meandering down River Street and were shocked at how delicious everything was. On the outside you’re all like «meh. peanuts? how cool can it be?» but then you go in and are all like «omg. Honey Roasted Dark Chocolate Cocoa Peanuts? Milk Chocolate Covered Peanut Brittle? Have I died and gone to peanut heaven?»
Ok, so maybe I am being a bit dramatic. Point is: they have free samples of all of their peanuts. Go in and try them and you will leave with at least one can of something. The prices are great and you can get most items for under $ 10.
Check it out!

If you are in the area you need to go here! It’s a great place to get gifts for people. It has almost anything for someone on your gift list! You also can sample almost everything! Great place to go!

You’ll find lots of Virginia peanuts here. Negates the point if you’re searching for Savannah trinkets and goods on River Street, but Virginia nuts are awesome so it doesn’t matter.
Even better? Samples upon samples! So many samples! They seemed like sanitary samples, too, unless someone decided to stick their hands in and ignore the spoons for whatever reason.
I purchased bacon and cheddar peanuts and was on my merry way. Things are good.

Free peanut samples… thank you!

This is a fun place. Yes it’s touristy but you can sample every flavor of peanuts that they have. All of them were so good! My favorites were the wasabi, dill pickle, salt and vinegar, and the crab town with Chesapeake Bay seasoning. I had to pick up a jar for myself to take back to Ohio.

We strolled into this place and we tried all types of nuts and related products that were there. In fact, we wanted to purchase some items but my sister and I wanted to ask them something…
So I’m looking on the shelves and my sister is standing at the counter. There is an employee there with her back turned. Another employee comes alongside her and her back is also turned to her. Now there are two people, the only two people working there, standing kind of at the register but with their backs turned to customers. My sister stands there, waiting for someone to turn around.
No one does so finally I say, «Excuse me.» The one girl turns around and just STARES at us. After a few seconds she says, «Yeah?» I said, «We just wanted to ask you something.» She returns with a blank stare and then asks, «What?» You know, as if we’re bothering her and it isn’t her job to interact with customers. I asked her one question about a product and she responded very rudely to us. I mean, really, after asking whether or not you have more of a product that isn’t currently on the shelf? Do you usually give customers dirty looks when they try to ask you something?
Walked right out the door and didn’t buy anything.

The only thing that would make this store better is if they serve beer. Samples everywhere. Nice staff. Great location on the river. We spent a hundred bucks on nuts. Will get more shipped they are that good.

We had our «lunch» here. Yes, after trying probably 20+ flavors of peanuts, it was a meal itself! I didn’t know there can be so many flavors out there! We picked three: red skin, bacon cheddar and creole. Only wish I had a checkin luggage, I d do more damage :) the price is not cheap as expected, well, so is everything on river st!

Luv going here just for free samples of all different types of peanuts. My favorites are the salted caramel, chipotle, honey roasted, honey continental blend, apple toffee and anything dipped in chocolate.

This is a super fun store with lots of neat flavors and free samples to boot around the whole store. It’s worth a visit while walking along the river.

Wow what great peanuts, another must stop if you are in Savannah. Please please please go to the River Walk and see all there is to see. The peanuts are great and all hare very tasty. My favorite had to be the dill and I don’t like dill pickles but boy oh boy was these great.

We stumbled upon The Peanut Shop while walking along the historic area. What is really cool is that they have samples of almost every kind of peanut. My favorite was the dill pickle. My hubs liked the chocolate covered brittle. I think this would be a great place to buy gifts! They had quite a selection!

This place is neat. They let you sample a lot of their flavors. I was disappointed that they didn’t have fresh peanut butter though. :(. We still bought lots of other nuts though. :)

When they say «peanut shop of savannah», they mean it. There are peanuts everywhere. At least, on one side of the shop — it’s peanut central. And even better is that you get to sample just about all of them. For some odd reason, some varieties are not opened, and you don’t get to sample those.
Now I get that I sound a bit petty here — but if you’re going to allow sampling of 80% of the (peanut) merchandise — and you allow people to sample just about anything left just by asking — why not open them all? Probably because they are more expensive or something, and most people will feel greedy so they won’t ask. Luckily I’m not in that boat.
The peanut side is definitely where you want to be, however — the gift-​y side is a bit lame. And while the peanuts themselves may not be all that unique (you can also see similar peanut shops of other cities in other places), it’s still worth a stop, and if you’re hungry, go in here and sample away — but try and buy something, because you’re likely to find something you’ll like. They really do have something for just about every palate. Assuming you like nuts in your mouth, that is. And hey — some people don’t. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
If you have a peanut allergy, you may not be able to say that you ate it and didn’t die, so be wary.

My husband and I came here 2 separate times during our recent stay. What a fun place to browse, shop and taste teste! :))
The store is located on bustling River St and can tend to get packed. Especially on weekends. You walk in and you are greeted by shelves and shelves of peanuts galore. Everything your little heart can imagine if you are a peanut fan! I was drawn to the chocolate covered nuts and you are able to self sample which is awesome! The spicy nut mixes were fun to try out to see if I could handle the «heat». I could not.
Make sure to browse the entire store. They also have a dog section of treats. We picked up some grain free treats for our pups. I also noticed they had bags of pasta in fun shapes of dogs, etc.
They had some great deals if you were shopping for souvenirs. We ended up getting a 4 pack of nuts that was a serious bargain and they were selling select candy bars as Buy 2 Get 1 free. We loaded up for family and friends. Hope they like
bacon with their chocolate! :)
I also noticed that they do ship orders so if you prefer not to lug your bag of goodies around or want to ship directly to the recipient, you do have that option. Not sure of the cost but may be worth the hassle.
I looved this place and look forward to my next trip here when I’m in town. This is definite a MUST on River St.

Crazy amounts of peanuts all with samples in front of them for you to try. They also have other random novelties for the nut-​allergic like me.
The store is EXTREMELY dog friendly! My pup got some dog treats as well as some ice water.

If you like nuts as much as I do, you’ll like this place. And I like nuts very much.
And you’d think this place would be only about nuts, but you’d be wrong. It’s nuts and so much more!
I liked all the various peanut stuff they had and the samples of everything were so tempting. I ended purchasing a horseradish dip which was out of this world. Don’t get me started on some of the chocolate things they had.
If you cannot resist temptation, this is a dangerous place to be… between the smells and the tastes of the various goodies, you’ll find yourself wanting a little bit of everything.
They also ship, so if you’re in town and want some gifts for friends back home, that is an easy way to do it. Plus you’re not tempted to eat everything you bought for others on your way back home!
