    My family and I were so excited to try this spot out as we have heard nothing but amazing things. We stopped by after our visit at the African art museum a little before 5pm on a Friday. However, when we got there they had a sign stating they would reopen at 5:30pm. So we decided to wait in the parking lot in the meantime as so did some other patrons. Once they opened, it took some time to get our orders in which was fine since we were trying decide what we wanted eat anyways. After we ordered, more people started to come in and it's a tight space inside. We patiently waited and it took about an hour for us to get our food. We went to our car to eat as the outside patio seating was still wet from the on and off rain. The turkey wing was very tender and tasty. The meat was juicy and fell right off the bone. The yellow rice had some hard pieces in it so that was no bueno. We all agreed that the mac and cheese was the best side, very cheesy and al dente noodles. I was not a fan of the collard greens as I like my greens to be slow cooked, tender and soft. The stems of the greens were hard and you can tell they were cooked quickly. Overall, I understand everyone has off days and based on the reviews, they are typically good. But I believe maybe there were some issues with staffing as to why they opened later and took so long for our orders to be prepared. When I return to Savannah, I would give them another go around to try out another meal, especially since the ambience inside was a cute vibe.

    Hidden GEM in Savannah that is located outside the tourist district. It's small and cozy, decorated with inspirational quotes inside and out, adorned with plants bring life to the dining area. The BEEF POT ROAST AND GRAVY was so good on my first visit, I wasn't sure I could order anything else. However I built up courage to try the SMOTHERED ROSEMARY PORKCHOPS. OMG...my new favorite. Super tender, moist and covered in a savory gravy. You select two sides. I love the CORN BREAD and BAKED MAC N CHEESE. I haven't tried any other sides yet. Corn bread is fluffy and buttery with touch of sweetness, while not being sweet. Baked mac n cheese is just pure goodness. This is delcicious down home cooking. It is comfort food. The owner is super friendly and hospitable. She works the order counter and I suspect she is integral in the food prep.

    Very nice people. My Honey and I had dinner about 7pm. They close at 8pm. You order at a plexi-glass window. We had two people aged of us and it took a while for her to take our order. I orders were pot roast, green beans and mac&cheese, fried chicken collards and mac&cheese. The fried chicken is cooked to order. We ate at the reaturant. Seating is limited. We were challenged by the neighborhood beggars inside and outside. The food was okay nothing to rave about. The best part was the Mac& cheese. The collards taste out the can with no seasoning and the pot roast had no flavor. I first had scraps of the pot roast but asked for more meat and I was willing to pay. Meals were served in carry-out container and we used plastic utensils. The total was about $48.00. This meal was not worth that much especially being served with plastic items. I would not vote this resturant as the best soul food.

    Ordered fried chicken, mac and cheese, broccoli, ox tails, and collards. As other people have said, the collards weren't very tasty because they're basically vegetarian. The chicken was a bit dry, but the breading was good. The oxtails were way over salted and it was just too much. The mac and cheese was enjoyable.

    We had dinner here!
    Jean M.

    Service was great. Restaurant was clean! I loved all the little posters, photos and positive plaques. They ran out of sweet potatoes but were quick to get me something else.

    Seriously some of the best food I've ever had. First time ever having oxtail (literally fall off the bone), mac and cheese and spinach. All of it top top notch!

    I've lived in Savannah for a few months now and eaten pretty well. This was hands down the best meal I've had since moving here. And the service was not just friendly but warm and welcoming. I will be back a LOT.

    Every time I come and trying something new the food gets better. And the owner (Rachel) is such a beautiful person. Her daughter is always nice and helps me make up my mind when I'm too hungry to make a decision. ‍

    Came across this location through a yelp search. The young lady taking our order was very polite and friendly. Funky classic rnb playing in the background. Indoor deco was like an indoor garden. Great variety of items on the menu. ( breakfast is served all day) I opted for the fried shrimp rice plate that included two sides. (10 medium shrimp on a bed of yellow rice- white rice is also and option, macaroni and cheese and greens so good make me wanna slap your mama lol) I highly recommend!!

    I'm a sucker for a good sign!

    This is a place where the name says it all. It's very inviting and not only are the staff nice and attentive, they make you feel at home! With that being said, the food is. . . made with love! I've been a few times before writing this as I didn't want the excitement to overshadow the truth. I'm here to tell you that some things can be too good to be true but this is not

    Pot roast

    This place is phenomenal, honestly each dish here is more delicious than the next. Completely from scratch! When I tell you the flavor/ seasonings are spot on...! Perfectly cooked....Heaven!!! Miss Rachel & staff....thank you for literally putting your heart and soul into this place.. it shows and I will be back several times a week

    Me waiting on the meal of a lifetime!

    My wife and I visited Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room while celebrating our 45th wedding anniversary in…read moreSavannah, Georgia. 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!!

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.

To share amongst the table, we ordered the cinnamon toast banane and crispy gouda grit croquettes. Thumbs up on both, particularly the croquettes which were the right balance of gooey and structured enough to eat with the delicious sauce on the side. The cinnamon toast banane was not so much toast as cinnamon rolls with bananas foster; the cinnamon rolls were really tasty and the bananas foster was good, though the bourbon flavor was strong. For my entree, I ordered one of the lighter vegetarian dishes - the mushroom tartine with tomato soup. I think it is one of the lighter dishes - certainly lighter than what my dining companions ordered - but it was still quite rich with a fair amount of gouda fondue in the tomato bisque soup.

Decided to take our chances and dine in by walking in. There were plenty of seats. Hosts greeted us, but we're not very friendly. Got seated immediately. The table we were at, maybe I was sensitive, but the light that dangles from the ceiling onto the table was not low enough and aligned with our eyes. Uncomfortable honestly. Our server was very quick, you can tell she wasn't trying to work that day. Cornbread was complementary, wasn't very tasty to be honest. Extremely dry, even the jam was helpful. I opted for the New York steak with fries, nothing wow. My boyfriend got the award-winning house fried chicken with pecan sauce on the side. It was pretty good fried chicken, but not something to always come back to. Honestly, we were very disappointed because this place was very overhyped. I'm glad I tried it, but it's not something that I would recommend because it was mediocre.
