Well all of the reviews are spot on. Best friend chicken ever!!! Even beats out my Aunt Annie Mae's. Everything that you read is correct. Lines can be long, but worth it. You get seated in groups of 8, once a table turns. Everything sits down at the same time to enjoy the differing foods, family style. Menu changes but... more

The line is worth the wait. You have the opportunity to meet new people while you wait. And you get to enjoy a meal with them. Food is on the table ready for you when they seat you. Best fried chicken in Savannah. Ah, the food. All of it good. The best place to visit. more

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
