My husband and I decided to take a detour to Savannah on our trip from Florida to South Carolina just to eat at Mrs. Wilkes. We were not disappointed! I was hoping that creamed corn would be served and it was -- along with rice/gravy, cornbread stuffing, black-eyed peas, pinto beans, creamed potatoes, sweet potatoes, cabbage, succotash, grean beans, macaroni... more

We stopped in at Mrs. Wilkes after two hours of walking. We were lucky to wait only about 10 minutes to be seated. We heard from others the line can be long and on occassion they run out of food and you might not get in at all. We were seated with two other groups, who quickly became friends and... more

The setup is neat. We had a great time getting to know the people at the table. The food was fantastic, service was great, and the fried chicken was awesome. Definitely recommend. more

My husband and I decided to eat at Mrs. Wilkes today after reading all the TA reviews about how wonderful it is...and we weren't disappointed.

We were able to make the first seating... more

Mrs. Wilkes' Dining Room is definitely the finest cooking of the South. We are native Southerners born and bred and can tell you this was just like being at Grandma's. We had to wait longer than we wanted to, but that was more our own fault because we arrived around 11:30 and the line was already long. Even then, we... more

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Savannah. Just make sure you're in line plenty early, or you'll have to wait to be seated. We arrived about 45 minutes before they opened, and there were already a few people in line. Within a few minutes of our arrival, the line started to get long. The seating area... more

We traveled from Hilton Head SC about 45 minutes to Savannah. Mrs. Wilkes was well worth the trip. The restaurant is only open from 10am to 2pm. We got there at 1:55pm and there was a line still. One thing I really liked was... Everyone in line at 2pm got served. And no-one was rushed. We got seated around 2:10pm... more
