It will take some time to get your food if you get the fried chicken but it is worth it! It's cooked fresh to order. Hubby ordered the ox tail special with mash potatoes, green beans, mac and cheese. 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.

Upon arriving in Savannah, we were looking for a good local spot to eat and stumbled across…read moreGeneva's Famous Chicken & Cornbread Co. Looking back, we probably should've kept right on walking. We ordered the fried chicken, potato wedges, red rice, New Orleans rice, and cabbage, jalapeno cornbread and pecan cornbread. Unfortunately, the only things we actually enjoyed were the fried chicken and the potato wedges. Once again, it was an epic fail. The cabbage tasted like it had been boiled in plain water with absolutely no seasoning. Both the red rice and the New Orleans rice reminded us of Minute Rice or Uncle Ben's microwavable rice--bland, lacking flavor, and nothing like the rich, seasoned rice dishes we were expecting. The fried chicken was crispy, juicy, and well-seasoned, and the potato wedges were cooked perfectly, but those two items weren't enough to save the meal. We came hoping for authentic Southern comfort food, but left disappointed. Sadly, this is one restaurant we won't be adding to our list of places to revisit.

Service like hers is a rare gem these days. I never thought I'd say that I like alligator. But it was part of the charcuterie board as an app, and it was delicious (along with other items such as homemade hummus, jalapeño/cheddar sausage etc) For mains, we opted for Elk special, fish special (unfortunately don't remember which one it was exactly. Maybe flounder), and Wild Bore (my personal favorite by far!!). We thoroughly enjoyed our salads, apps, and meals. And how can you say no to fresh beignets?! We had their summer special - warm peach one, and traditional. Aaaaamazing!! Atmosphere and decor were magnificent too. It's located in the basement, so it made our experience even more unique and fun.

Their menu is very eccelectic, lots of game (elk, bison, python etc).We decided to be brave and take a chance. Good thing we did! Service was impeccable tables were far enough away from each other so it was easy to have a normal conversation. We ordered gator bites; fried, they were ok. Wouldn't order them again. Python/hate sausage: just tasted it. Not my favorite but it's a personal preference. Vegetarian jambalaya: absolutely amazing! Lots of fresher veggies stews together with so much flavor! I would definitely go back for this. My husband and daughter had the bison short ribs which they loved. Drinks- creative and very good.

Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room is a Savannah institution and a very unique experience. A little planning…read moreis required - you need to get there and be in line by around 10:00-10:30 at the latest if you want a chance at the first seating. They're open from 11:00-2:00, and the meal is a communal dining experience, so you'll likely be sharing a table with other guests. The experience is definitely a bit rushed. You don't exactly have unlimited time to slowly enjoy your fried chicken, sweet tea, and every dish on the table, but that's also part of the charm. For $35 plus gratuity (cash only, so come prepared), you get an enormous spread of comforting, homemade Southern food. It's an incredible value, especially considering the variety and quantity. The location itself is a bonus - it sits on one of the prettiest streets in downtown Savannah, so the walk and surroundings add to the experience. The food is classic Southern cooking with a little bit of everything. The table comes loaded with dishes like sausage rice, pulled pork, beef stew, fried chicken, and an assortment of sides. My biggest tip: don't eat breakfast or have a big meal beforehand - you'll want the room. There is a lot of food, and you'll want to try as much as possible. My favorites were the creamed corn, greens, and the beans/lentils. The fried chicken was also one of the best versions I've had - crispy, flavorful, and exactly what you hope for from a Southern comfort food spot. Service is fast and efficient, which is necessary given how they run the dining room. Listen to their instructions when you arrive - they have two adjoining rooms, and they'll guide you where to sit. By the time you're settled, much of the food is already arriving at the table. A must-do Savannah experience if you enjoy traditional Southern food and don't mind a lively, communal, fast-paced meal.

Excellent experience. We arrived after the main crowd and were seated right away. The table was…read morecovered with what seemed like every Southern dish imaginable--far more than anyone could reasonably try in one sitting. I managed about ten, and everything was well prepared, generous, and full of flavor. The communal-table atmosphere makes the meal feel less like dining at a restaurant and more like being welcomed into a very large Savannah family dinner. The service was warm and attentive, and the whole experience felt genuine rather than staged for tourists. For anyone visiting Savannah, Mrs. Wilkes is a must. Come hungry.

The location is outside the city and you would need to drive from the city center. The cafe is to the right of the church, with a glass door that's in-between the restaurant and church building. I had heard the fried chicken was excellent and was aiming for that. Sadly, the restaurant ran out so I went for plan B: braised oxtails. The oxtails were fantastic: full of savory flavor swimming in a really nice gravy that wasn't too thick. Putting it on top of my red rice made for wonderful comfort food. The red rice, which wasn't mushy at all, had a bit of tartness and there was a fairly substantial tomato flavor to it. The other sides were more pedestrian. The braised cabbage was rather bland and lacked any personality. I only ate it because I needed to feel better for myself that I ate some vegetables. The mac n' cheese wasn't creamy but it was passable. The mac was more like a casserole. Service was friendly throughout and professional. It's a church cafeteria that's actually worth going out for.
