It was all delicious--the corn bread was some of the best we have ever tasted. Our chicken was fried to order--hot, tasty and large portions.

Great food, great music, and even better service!…read more We went to Ruby Lee's South last night on a Tuesday and had an amazing time. The Target Band was playing, and they were fantastic. We danced most of the evening and truly enjoyed the energy they brought. The staff was wonderful, and the food was absolutely delicious. I had the baby back ribs with mac and collard greens. Everything was seasoned perfectly and cooked just right. My wife ordered the pan seared salmon with a baked sweet potato and squash, and she loved every bite. We topped it all off with the bourbon pecan pie for dessert, which was the perfect ending to a great meal. Our waitress Pattie really made the night special. She was hilarious, welcoming, and made us feel right at home. Excellent service with a great personality. We were visiting from Georgia, and this will definitely be one of the first places we return to the next time we are in Hilton Head. Highly recommend!

Daughter ordered four piece fried chicken with sweet potatoes, and I ordered the three piece fried chicken with greens. Some of our sides were an upcharge but it was worth it. Everything was delicious, we shared our sides. Hubby ordered banana pudding and finished it before we got out of the bathroom! The bathrooms are unisex and so clean and cute! Overall we really enjoyed our meal and had leftovers.

I was visiting from out of town and discovered this spot on TikTok, so I decided to give it a try…read more There was a slight wait to be seated, but once we were at our table, our server greeted us promptly and took our order without issue. The food did take about 30 minutes to come out, which was a bit longer than expected. Overall, I'd rate the food a 3.9 out of 5;it was good, but not quite exceptional. One thing to note is that there's a 2% fee added for dining in, and some of the menu prices felt a bit on the higher side. That said, it was still a decent experience overall and worth trying if you're in the area.

Still 5 stars for the ambiance--all the reviews that talk about how pretty the place in are correct-- beautiful decor, well chosen fabrics on the upholstery, and a lovely mural downstairs, and the bathroom wallpaper is great! I'd give 4 stars for the friendly but disorganized service; it took quite a while for the food to come out, then more time for silverware to come out, and it was hard to catch people's attention. When you did, though, they were lovely. The three stars is for the oysters. They were poorly shucked, and full of shell bits; it felt a little dangerous for the inside of the mouth. They were fresh, and probably would have been tasty, but the grit and shell flakes made them inedible. We each tried one, then tried another to see if they were done better, but nope. The weirdest part was that instead of taking the oysters off our bill, they only discounted them, which felt like a bad management choice. Either way, I'd recommend the place, but not the oysters, and I'd hesitate to go back, even though I'm going to be dreaming about that oxtail and red rice for a long time.

The music in the back ground gives elevated Juke joint. They have gorgeous painting for sale (we say by a beauty on the second floor that was $500) I ordered "fush and grits" (fish and grits) and my first issue, though this may be silly to some, was that the waiter made a point to say right after me, "fish and grits." Not sure why he couldn't go with the theme of the restaurant he works for's menu. It's "fush." My food was plentiful. The whiting was cooked nicely but could have used more seasoning. The shrimp butter that goes over the top had flavor in spades so maybe they were trying to balance it out. The creamy grits were good. Not too thin and not too thick. My guy ordered a sweet potato pancake, eggs, and grits. The server (not the waiter) brought out our meals and what came out was a regular waffle. Not even sweet potato. When we asked about this, which took awhile because our waiter did not come back for some time even when he was with a nearby table, he let us know they don't serve pancakes. Now I KNOW my guy ordered a pancake so it should have been mentioned directly then. Additionally, the waffle that came out was still wrong - not sweet potato. The waiter seemed more in the range of neutral to annoyed than happy to fix the issue. There was no apology at all until he brought the sweet potato waffle to the table. My guy said the waffle felt doughy, as if it could have stood a bit longer on the griddle. When it was time to pay he didn't bring a receipt, just showed me the order on his device which I didn't love. I paid, however, and hit print receipt. He had to go get the receipt so now I wonder if it was just that his machine was out of paper and he didn't feel like getting more from downstairs? Unsure, since this was our first (only?) visit if that is the normal process.

Before our trip, one of my fraternity brothers told me that if I wanted some of the best Southern soul food in Savannah, I had to visit Mrs. Wilkes. He also warned me that there would be a long wait. Let me just say--he was absolutely right on both counts! We arrived at the restaurant and stood in line outside in the rain. We didn't get seated until 1:00 PM. Normally, I would not wait that long for a meal, but for the record, and I can't believe I'm saying this--it was worth every minute of the wait. The experience was unlike any restaurant I've ever visited. My wife and I were seated at a large table with approximately eight other people whom we had never met. Yet within minutes, it felt like we were dining with family. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and filled with genuine Southern hospitality. The food was simply outstanding. Every traditional Southern dish you can imagine was brought to the table and passed family-style from person to person. The home-cooked flavors reminded me of the meals many of us grew up enjoying. Everything was delicious, and the desserts were just as impressive. What made the experience even more special was the sense of community. People of different backgrounds and races were dining together, sharing food, conversation, and fellowship. The staff worked together seamlessly and went out of their way to make every guest feel welcome. While we waited in line, a gracious lady shared the history of the restaurant and the legacy of Mrs. Wilkes herself. The staff even provided umbrellas to guests who didn't have one--including me--which was a thoughtful gesture that spoke volumes about their commitment to customer service. From the food, to the hospitality, to the rich history and unique family-style dining experience, Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room exceeded every expectation. If you're visiting Savannah, this is not just a meal--it's an experience. I proudly give Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room a 5 out of 5-star rating and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Savannah.

Where to begin. There was hype of this restaurant and it lived up to it all!…read moreIt is a beautiful home that is a restaurant along a street with old homes and trees lining and overhanging the road. The hospitality is off the charts. You need to come early at least a half hour as the line quickly grows. You sit and eat family style. The host will assign you to your table with others to fill it up. 8 to a table. There is sweet tea waiting for you and dish after dish of goodness! Then they bring out the fried chicken on platters. 21 different bowls of southern dishes- okra, rutabagas, greens, beans, corn, biscuits and corn bread.... Oh my there was a lot. You will not go hungry as the staff are near each table and bringing refills of items needed. Then when you've had your fill, they bring by peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream on top and/or banana pudding! They take cash or check only. They thankfully had an ATM inside. But the man at the cash register said we could leave and go to our own bank if we wanted and come back to pay!! That wouldn't happen at very many places. Southern hospitality, great food, memories- it is all here. Don't miss this place when you come to Savannah!!

I'd still go back and try again, there seems to be a rotating menu. I will say that the chicken is delicious! It has to be their specialty. We tried almost every available chicken options the day we went except for the baked version. For two plates and two drinks, we paid about $35. And they were not light on the portions!
