We ate here on a Monday afternoon after a walking tour of the city. We were worried we would have to wait forever in line, but in reality only waited 10-15 minutes. We got there at about 1 pm and we were seated and eating by 1:15. The food was very good, the portions gigantic. We sat at a table... more

I suppose if you have never eaten like this before, it is novel and entertaining. The food was good, as you would expect, but certainly nothing out of the ordinary as far as good southern cooking is concerned. more

If you are traveling to Savannah, you MUST eat at Mrs. Wilkes Boarding House. I have lived in the south for 30 years but never eaten at a restaurant like this! We counted (from memory after we left) 26 different kinds of vegetables, meats, bread and desserts on our table so if you can't find something you like to eat... more

We have eaten at Mrs. Wilkes several times over the years and were never disappointed. We had to walk back to the hotel to walk off some of those calories, but it was sooo good. Haven't had a chance to go back to GA since Mrs. W. died, so don't know if it's the same. The prices have certainly gone... more

I can't believe true Southerners consider Miss Wilkes Boarding House to be Southern cooking at it's finest. Of course, after you have stood in line for an hour plus, some of the horse dung on the side of the street might taste good. My husband and I (both from the South) were unimpressed with Miss Wilkes. True southern cooking is... more

I've been eating at Mrs. Wilkes since I was in high school in the late 60's and while it's not a dollar for all you can eat anymore and Mrs. Wilkes has passed on and doesn't say grace at the beginning of the lunch, the food is still as good, plentiful and authentic as ever. I live in Southern California... more

I loved this place! There is a wait (we only had to wait about 20 minutes, so I think we got lucky), so just be prepared for that. But believe me, it's totally worth the wait! Great Southern food, served family style, for about $17 per person. There were so many dishes on the table, I can't remember everything, but... more

We ate there today and got in line about 11:15 and sat down to eat around 12:30. Worth the wait! We overheard some visitors from Boston ask what dessert did the waitress recommend....the answer is always Banana Pudding!! This is a great lunch time meal and activity! more

We have actually been going on vacation to the Carolina's and have gone out of our way so we could go to Mrs. Wilkes' for lunch. Waaaay better than Lady and Sons...food tastes better and more selections served family style than what was on Paula's buffet. Meet people from all over. Only bad thing is that you can't just sit... more
