    My group of 4 came in for an early lunch on a rainy Saturday. The wait staff was efficient and friendly and we were seated and had drinks quickly. The restaurant decor appears dated and dingy. Our waitress was great. Food: The menu looks fantastic, but the taste didn't live up to expectations. My unsweetened tea was half and half, green beans were very salty, corn pudding was way too sweet, and chicken was dense. Tartar sauce was very good and tasted homemade, but would've been better if cocktail sauce was an option for shrimp.

    All Good things must come to an end. 90 A health score. The vibe wasn't the same as my previous experiences, The restaurant felt damp and Old, and update is in order from the floors to the ceiling and in between. As always the food is tasty. Service a plus. So again I'm not going give up yet, one more try later this year to see if my feeling improves the perception on good old Sweet Potatoes Kitchen.

    We stopped in for lunch a few weekends ago and had no idea this hidden gem would be the perfect lunch spot!!! We were greeted by incredibly sweet staff who were positive and welcoming. We were sat quick, as the dining room wasn't too full. I cant remember our servers name, but she was super nice and helpful too. She talked us through the menu and some of her favorites - we LOVE recos!! We took her up on the meatloaf sandwich and lima beans per her feedback, and couldn't have been more pleased. We also got a wedge salad. The Meatloaf was delicious and hearty and the sweet potato fries were delicious too. But the lima beans... OMG!! By far the best I've had in a while. They were a little lemony, with some dill, and perfectly cooked. My mouth is watering thinking about them right now!! The Wedge was also a great portion with fresh bacon crumbles and loads of blue cheese. YUM!! We will definitely be back!! thanks to the staff for a lovely lunch!!

    We decided to try out Sweet Potato Kitchen, and I'm so glad we did! Each of us ordered something different, and every single dish was absolutely delicious (see photos!). For four plates, two soft drinks, one small dessert and two alcoholic beverages, our total came out to $98. A little on the pricier side, but worth it--the food was clearly homemade and high quality. The restaurant itself is small on the inside, but it has a cozy, homey feel. From being greeted at the front door to the attentive service from our server, the staff made the whole experience wonderful. Definitely a great spot to stop by if you're in the area. Highly recommend!

    I had no idea this place was here! The ambience took me back in time with the decor and colors. The staff was really nice and really joyful to be around! Our waitress was really funny and helped us order our food letting us know which ones was her favorites. I got the wedge salad which was good.

    Very impressed with this charming kitchen!!!!! Fantastic service, great food. Marley was our waitress and was adorable, polite, attentive, just a ray of sunshine. The owners Steve and Wendy even stopped by. Great people! Checked on us multiple times. Highly recommend for good, Southern comfort food.

    I place where I use to be a semi regular, I haven't been here in 3 years cause I moved to Atlanta, I just moved back. This is a place I would have given 4 to 5 stars before . Today, I wouldn't give it a 1star, the portions were small, my country fried steak was way over cooked, how do we do that in the south, it's our thing. It was so bad and inedible I sent it back and just ate the vegetables, the corn pudding was great, the mash potatoes, dry and cold, it wouldn't even melt butter. This is a place I use to highly recommended, not anymore. It a shame, the service was great. You can Steve doesn't own it anymore.

    Don't come here if you're expecting good food. Absolutely awful- for the record, I'm white and this food had no seasoning. 10/10 don't recommend for a good dining experience, you might end up with dysentery- I was so sick after eating here.

    Without reservation we decided to "come early" for dinner on a Saturday evening. The place closes at 8, so we arrived slightly before 6.30. Smoke parking and there's no line which is a good sign. There were 2 other parties in front of us though. Soon after they seated the 1st party and we were told to wait (no specified amount of time). We were probably waited about 20ish minutes before we got out table. The place is packed. Lots of people came after us and had to wait for tables as well. I was getting worried as I read past reviews while waiting but decided to stick with our venture. We were not disappointed! My fried chicken is super moist even though it was chicken breast. The taste is spot on and the right crunchiness as well. The catfish is flaky and light. My husband enjoyed his Jerk chicken. This is super rare because chicken is his least favorite meat, so for him to compliment a chicken dish it must be VERY good

    Cornbread

    Mixed reviews on this place. People are super friendly and willing to share recommendations. The food was flavorful; I had the pecan crusted chicken (comes with one breast for all chicken dishes), garlic mash, and Brussel sprouts. The garlic mash was delicious but the roasted Brussel sprouts were mushy. We asked for corn bread and we should have skipped it. The texture was crumbly and not in a good way and was drier than the Sahara dessert. Also, not sure why some of them were an inch or so thick and others were a quarter inch. All of them were the worst corn bread I've ever had. After we ordered, we waited about 20 minutes before they came back and told us they were out of some of the sides. Three of us had corn pudding but they came last minute to tell us they were out. While the chicken was good, we all mentioned that we wished it came with one more piece to make the meal feel full. The saddest part, in my opinion was that they have on their menu and website they have a top rated banana pudding, which is the real reason we were excited to come, but they were out. Would have loved to know that at the beginning as well. Wish they were out of the cornbread instead of the banana pudding. Plenty of parking.

    We stopped here on the way home from nc and it was SUPER FAST! It was great so we could eat and relax for a bit and get back on the road. I ordered the buffalo sand which and it was SO good. My boyfriend loved all of his food! I was not a fan of the garlic potato's so my boyfriend ate them up lol. Super quick service and kind waitresses. The place is super cute.

    If you like peach cobbler, banana pudding, and/or cookies, you've come to the right place!!!! Everything we got was fabulous! Variety is the spice of life, so we got the sample with two puddings and two cobblers. They were all delish! The cookies were also wonderful. Our son enjoyed their sweet peach tea as well.

    Is the patio dog friendly?

    Melissa yes our outdoor seating areas are dog friendly.

    Is this place best for lunch or dinner?

    Lunch. It's a modest place so if you want more upscale for dinner i'd recommend downtown like treylor park or Paula Deen's...

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.

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!!

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.

Been here for both dinner and lunch. All this said, I think my approach to this review is comprehensive. With regard to food, I think they have a decent (not expansive) selection of food, which I think lends itself to quality. They do most things really well. This said, I do think there is inconsistency based on staff at the restaurant. On one occasion they have accommodated a request, and on another I was denied the exact same request. I found this frustrating. On one occasion I've also seen management talk down to staff here, which is a big no no for me. All people (especially staff) are due respect and this rubbed me the wrong way. This was an isolated incident but it definitely made my dining experience uncomfortable. Especially because I was getting excellent service from the server!!! I've always had quality service from servers here. In the future, I would come to Rhett for convenience as a hotel guest (the hotel is lovely), but would likely not spend my money if I wasn't staying at the hotel. Overall- it's good food, decent ambiance... but there are soooo many good options in Savannah. You have to be exceptional to stand out in that city.

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.
