April 26, 2023 – The 1980s-era building at 2430 Habersham St. will be getting a 21st-century makeover after Green Truck Pub’s owners got the OK to shed the structure’s fast-food past.
Coming after the COVID-19 pandemic moved diners outside, the plan to improve the 12-year-old restaurant’s outdoor aesthetics and seating accommodations was approved by the Historic Preservation Commission on Wednesday.

Constructed in 1980 as a fast-food restaurant named Krispy Chic, the non-contributing structure in Savannah’s Streetcar Historic District will get a covered patio with wooden trellises and outdoor fans to replace the current setup, a tent over some tables.
The sloping mansard roof and the drive-thru window will be removed and a “green wall” of vegetation will be installed on the Habersham Street side. A new entrance will also be added to help prevent servers from having to navigate around customers that enter the current doorway near the kitchen.
Co-owner Whitney Shephard said last month they hope to complete the project by September.
