And it was the chicken was cooked to order, came out super hot, and was both crispy and juicy. The greens were super flavorful and needed no added spices. I'm not a big cornbread guy but took a couple bites anyway. The jalapeños weren't over powering and offset the sweetness a little. My server was amazing!!! She greeted me as soon as I walked with lively smile and great attitude. At first I was confused if it was fast casual or full service as they takeout section is in the center of the restaurant. She explained that you can do both, so opted to stay for lunch. I wish I could recall name, because she is worth requesting.

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.

The grilled chicken sandwich, while ordinary, was juicy and perfectly grilled. Service--8/10. We arrived late in the evening and there was perhaps only be waiter working. Food took a while but when it came it was wonderful. Atmosphere--7/10. It's definitely off the beaten path but that is most things in Savannah. It was very modestly and simply designed.

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.

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.

There's a stage, and I was told there live music and weekly events that happen. Bar seating is a little tight, I recommend sitting at a table if you're with a group or even with one other person. The HVAC unit drips a bit, we changed seats a few times to avoid it. The cornbread loaf is yummy. Great flavors and a little crispy. I'd love to see something down with the cornbread (I'm sure there's something on the menu), the flavors would go well with a main dish! I ordered the southern Seoul blt and my husband ordered the shrimp and grits. Both had so much flavor! I will say, the meal was very heavy, so plan accordingly. My lavender gin cocktail wasn't my favorite, there was too much lavender in it - and that mixed with the heavy meal was too much on my stomach. The shrimp and grits were so good! Definitely one of the best in the city, there's only one other that my husband and I think is on par with this one. His old fashioned was pretty good as well. We'd definitely come back, the food is so good and the prices are fair. This is a great addition to the area, bringing in some different flavors.

We had the special of stuffed grouper, friend chicken, pecan crusted salmon, and the chicken pot pie. The biscuits were insanely delicious. Drinks were strong. Everything's worth the $$$ splurge. The only complaint we had which was a mistake that the server explained and apologized for, was when they put in the table. The order didn't go through because they assigned to the wrong table or didn't hit submit so we did wait a little bit for our food. But the restaurant made up for it. And our server was completely apologetic.

The seafood sauce was bursting with flavor, and the oxtails were tender and perfectly seasoned. I was bummed they were out of the turkey wings, but that just gives me a reason to come back. Can't wait for round two!

Come here two Saturday's in a row because it was so good! Was a bit deceived with the name, lol…read more I'm Haitian and was hoping it was Haitian food, but this Caribbean/Southern spot hits the spot. The staff here is so sweet! They really help with making decisions and even offer samples if you're indecisive(like me). They wear masks when packaging food and have an outdoor seating area. Both times I got my food to go, and was in and out pretty quickly. The homemade tropical punch is so good! If ordering a "made to order" menu item, expect to wait about 15 minutes. The curry shrimp is one of those items and I was not disappointed. My friend also got curry goat and the pork chop and both were SO GOOD! As always, I do wish they have more meat, but this is something I'm used to from Caribbean restaurants. BUT- they have all things on the menu when I went in, something that doesn't always happen at the Caribbean joints I'm used to. This is the second Caribbean spot I've tried in the Savannah area, and this is tops!

The theming is cute-- it plays nicely off of the existing structure and history, with just a bit of campiness. The roving Pirate was my least favorite part-- she popped in on us twice and delivered a few pirate puns. I would have appreciated if she was able to share more interesting tid bits about the building and its history. A bit of a missed opportunity to know your audience, especially in a quiet restaurant on a fairly dead night. Our waiter was excellent. He was knowledgeable about the menu, attentive and paced our meal well. He made solid recommendations based on what we shared that we would enjoy. As far as the food goes, it was really surprisingly delicious. I had the she crab soup and an entree salad. The soup was flavorful and full of crab. The salad was huge, the grilled chicken was nice and overall, a very satisfying dish. Two in my party ordered the ribs and raved about them. The filet was well liked and the fried shrimp in the entree were flavorful, not overly greasy, and plentiful. The one dish that wasn't well liked was the fried catfish. The grits were dry and the catfish needed something else. Desert was nice but basic, I don't know that any of it was house made. The key lime pie was a little overly sweet, but the chocolate cake was a big hit. If you're on the fence, I'd say it's worth a try, for the charm and historical significance of the restaurant.
