We have loved going to this restaurant on for the past couple of years. However, last night was a totally bad experience. The waitress was prompt and attentive but our food for 2 took over an hour to come out. We witnessed a party of...6, that came in after us get their food well before us. It will be awhile before we try again.More

Our party of eleven called the day of for reservations and the staff I spoke with were very accommodating; even went as far as to call me back a few hours later to let me know they would be having a limited menu due to...the holiday. DO NOT let the location deceive you; it’s located in a strip mall and we were a bit leery upon pulling up. But this place was incredible. My husband and I weren’t very hungry so we opted to share an entree; we chose the pan seared pork chop with sweet potato mash and collards. Easily the best pork chop I’ve ever eaten and the sides were perfectly prepared. Our son got the filet with fries and macaroni and cheese; his words: “best filet I’ve ever had”. Our server was wonderful and attentive and the atmosphere was great. Highly recommend!More

Chicken sandwich was good and so wee grits. Greek salad was tasty but needed more greens. A bit expensive for amount given. Service was friendly but started out a tad slower.

This restaurant delivers time and time again. Excellent food and great prices. The pasta bolognese was out of this world last night!

Dinner with local friends who frequent JThomas as their favorite restaurant. In a small strip plaza, appearances can be deceiving. The food was top notch. A varied menu with a Southern flair. Fried Green Tomatoes wee a felicitous starter. My fried chicken, Gouda Mac n...Cheese and green beans were perfect. My wife loved her Shrimp n Grits. Very good key lime pie topped it all off. Recommended. It was a nice change of pace to all of our Tybee haunts.More

From the daily blue plate specials to the chefs specials, they never disappoint! Did I mention the desserts? We sat right in front of the dessert display and ended up with the caramel cheesecake to go. The pictures do not do our meal justice as...we dug in before taking a picture.More

We had an incredible dinner last night at JThomas Kitchen. Started as catering biz- now have a small cafe on the side. Food out on Tybee island is BAD! Real Bad! So we looked elsewhere. It is in a non descript strip mall— don’t let...that put u off. Had generous appy of Fried Green Tomato’s. Perfect cornmeal crusted to tomato ratio served w a bit of homemade peach preserves and balsamic reduction Mmmmm! Hubby had the best REAL grits and shrimp. I had a divine bolognese on homemade pasta. It was the real deal. For dessert— a large piece of old fashioned chocolate cake just like grandma made! Got a gift slice of the pistachio cake. Not gonna lie— it was deeeeelicious. Run, don’t walk. Call ahead I hear their soup is awesome and they run out earlyMore

We have eaten here many times and have always had a good experience with all aspects of this restaurant. We try to eat out at least once a week and attempt to vary where we eat. There are almost 700 food serving establishments in the...immediate Savannah area and our friends go with us to something new every week. However J Thomas is constantly being requested when we want a sure winner. I usually get the pot roast which I consider to rival any that I have had before. Their candied sweet potatoes and stone ground grits are my accompanying dishes. Their desserts are as good as anywhere. All of these foods are available for purchase and take out. The servers are very friendly and professional. Parking can be a problem, especially after 6 pm. Locals frequent it and enjoy their evening out. “Try it! You’ll not be disappointed!!”More

The quality is consistently good. Best fried green tomatoes anywhere. The pot roast is exceptional as is the shrimp and grits. The real star of the show is their dessert case. If you want to make friends, get sat at the table for two in...front of it. People will crawl over top of you to look at the cakes and cheesecakes. Great neighborhood restaurant.More

Finally had the chance to eat dinner here! Dong let the location fool you, this is a wonderful place to eat. My partner had the fried pork chop that was the best he ever had, really moist and tender. I ordered the pan roasted pork...chop. DELICIOUS. This is going to be a regular neighborhood place to go!More

My daughter ordered a Thanksgiving take home meal in an attempt to save my wife some work. Turkey breast, ham, macaroni and cheese, green beans, mashed potatoes and corn bread dressing. The turkey and ham were OK. The green beans were good. The mashed potatoes...were tasteless and thin. Also the side of butter was not very good. The corn bread dressing was inedible; tasteless and soggy. The macaroni and cheese was also bland. Altogether pretty much disappointed.More

Have had a few meals for takeout from here in last month. I had a Greek salad with lots of shrimp that was unbelievable. Everything else has been pretty good, besides the Reuben which was expensive, lacking adequate corned beef, and just not very good...in general. I always leave 20 percent tip on a takeout order, but the waitresses just aren’t that friendly.More
