We certainly enjoyed our lunch at Mrs. Wilkes. We joined the line about 10:30 and were seated at 11:05. My husband and I were seated with a family from Nebraska and a lady from Texas. It is a great experience to dine with folks from different areas of the country. We wish this type restaurant were in Charlotte. I highly... more

Mrs. Wilkes' is in a beautiful neighborhood of Victorians. The neighborhood has a lot of charm - with lots of Victorian homes, and oak trees hanging with Spanish Moss. We got there at 10:15, and we were very early in the line. 10:30 is probably a good time to line up for the 1st seating. Everything I read in tripadvisor... more

food is good, very good. I don't mind sitting at the table with strangers. but only having 30 mins to eat, it's not worth it for the price you pay. by the time all the bowls of food are passed aound the table they start pushing you out the door. more

we recently visited Mrs. Wilkes' Boarding House on the recommendation of our tour guide in Savannah, and could not have been happier that we braved the wait! We waited for about 45 minutes on a Wednesday afternoon and the line moved fairly quickly. Tables seat 10 people per and all food is served family style. There were at least 15... more

The wait for a table was over an hour, but we had a great time visiting with our fellow in-liners. The family-style service offers you additional opportunities to visit with folks from around the country who have heard of the wonderful Mrs. Wilkes. After we left, our group decided to write down all the fabulous home-cooking treats we were offered,... more

Mrs. Wilkes is definitely a must do if you are visiting Savannah. Although the wait in line can be a challenge, once you get in, you will understand why you waited. We are from the south, therefore we are used to good southern cooking, however it was still a nice treat! I can't say that any of the food was... more

Standing in line for an hour is a total drag, but over all the food is very good. I loved the greens, chicken and cornbread, but by the time I got to eat I could have eaten almost anything. I found sitting with strangers to be a drawback because we got stuck with some up tight table Nazis. These kind... more

Mrs. Wilkes was a wonderful surprise for my wife and I. We stumbled across it during a carriage ride and have to say that the food was absolutely wonderful. It is opened only between 11a.m.-2p.m. Monday through Friday, with no reservations accepted. You simply start lining up in the morning and as tables become available you are seated with about... more

If Southern cuisine restaurants were compared to mountain peaks, Mrs Wilkes would be the Everest of all culinary climbs. The table was so full of delectable goodies that it couldn't possibly have held another serving dish. On our visit, the vegetables were rutabage, collard greens, tomato and okra salad, lima beans, sweet potatoes, white rice, dirty rice (with sausage), green... more
