Driftaway Cafe

While Driftaway Café was founded in 2001 (a terrible year for all Americans), its founders and leaders are not new to the hospitality industry. Robyn Quattlebaum has been in this business since 1979 and has traveled all over the southeast, opening restaurants for corporate conglomerates such as Applebees and Bennigans as well as critically acclaimed local Savannah Restaurants. His wife Michele Quattlebaum has been in the business since 1988. Michele was raised in Salem, Ohio, spending her summers on an island off the east end of Grand Bahama, enjoying the fresh seafood and Caribbean flavors all too readily available. Micheles family owned and operated a beautiful fishing resort known as Deep Water Cay. At one time Robyn owned seven restaurants with two partners. He was responsible for opening Hueys on River Street in Savannah as well as several other restaurants in downtown Savannah. He and Michele had a chain of successful steakhouses in the early nineties name after Robyns son Austin. Together they opened Driftaway Café in the summer of 2001 in Sandfly, Georgia. Sandfly is one of the oldest communities in the country, dating back to the civil war when recently freed slaves from nearby Wormsloe Plantation established it. Today, Sandfly is a thriving community surrounded by beautiful waterfront homes and historic coastal islands. With help from family and friends with years of culinary experience, Driftaway Café has evolved into an establishment where people from all walks of life can feel comfortable grabbing a quick bite to eat or taking the time to relax and truly dine! Driftaway Café was created out of the desire to serve the local neighborhoods of Savannah great food in a fun and friendly atmosphere. Established in 2001, Driftaway Café quickly became Savannahs favorite spot to relax and enjoy good times with friends and family. Driftaway Café specializes in casual coastal cuisine with specialties like the sesame ginger tuna tartare on crispy wontons or the gril
