YOU SHOULD EXPERIENCE THIS KIND OF LUNCH. It was awesome! You go there, you wait till 6-8 people came together in the waiting area. Then they prep a table with 20-30 different dishes and then you gonna sit and eat with a couple of strangers.
But not for long because you talk and eat together like a
Amazing, homey southern experience with great food. The fried chicken was amazing. And just so many delicious sides! Come hungry because there is sooo much food and not enough stomach space for everything! And to top it off, you get delicious dessert and sweet tea to wash it all down with! Eating fa
We went on a Tuesday morning and started our wait at about 10:15am. The four of us had about 14 people ahead of us. This did ensure us the first sitting when they opened at 11, so that was nice.
The staff was warm and inviting, they come outside to explain "the way of things" and will let you sneak
The two hour wait is part of the overall experience. If you aren't okay with that, you should skip it.
The couple in front of us in line were from the state where we live, and my husband was able to quickly connect with the husband on their shared love of scooters and cars. They even knew some of t
Yesterday we started our day with at the famous The Wilkes House . We made sure to get there earlier enough to get in line and make the first cut in . Normally the line is around the building , but the day started out rainy , so the line wasn’t as long when we arrived . While waiting in line we were
This place is really cool! I went as a solo traveler and waited in line with all of the people who sat at my table, so you got to know them before the meal! Definitely plan to arrive early! I got there at 10am and there was already a bit of a line. By 10:30 I could even see the back of the line. The
We stood outside waiting for an hour, under the blazing sun in the suffocating heat. The staff handed out water and cornbread and entertained us with games and stories. Once a table opened for our party of 7, we were seated and served immediately, before we even sat down. The food was PHENOMENAL. Th
Wow! This isn't just having a meal. This is an experience. Southern hospitality at its finest. You feel like you've been invited to have a Thanksgiving dinner with new friends. Instead of turkey, it's chicken with 25 amazing side dishes. You'll get to meet family along the way like Ms. Erin, that we
OMG!!! The food was ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!! Family style dining with upwards of 24 items on the table, all at once!! Arrive hungry because there's a lot of food. All of it, delicious!!!
Must do. Don't let the line outside discourage you, the wait was about 40 minutes. Fabulous food at communal tables. Intimate service. Great history. Very worthwhile, just noting that it is extremely filling. There are probably 15 dishes from which to choose, all included and ready when you si
Got there at 1045. Waited for 30 min on a Wed. Food was delicious, staff was super friendly. Dessert was amazing. When they call you in, the table is waiting for you, decorated with dishes full of your favorite southern treats and sweet tea.
Amazing atmosphere, warm loving environment. The food was absolutely fantastic. The best soul food in town.
Make sure you go hungry because the food keeps coming.
Thank you, Ms. Wilkes, for an awesome dinner.
Food was good and there was plenty. The experience was neat and the service top notch. We did have to wait in a line outside for 2 hours (we got there 45 minutes before they opened) before we got in to eat, and I’m glad I did…however I wouldn’t do it again.
It’s hard to find that true home cooked so
Just visited for the first time in years and it was as good as I can remember. Love that the family come down the line, while you're waiting, to talk about the history of Mrs. Wilkes. This place reminds me so much of my southern grandmothers table.
IT WAS AMAZING! EVERYTHING WAS HOT! THE ATMOSPHERE WAS WONDERFUL AS WELL! The Biscuits, BBQ & squash were my favorite! We traveled here from Texas & thoroughly enjoyed EVERY BITE!
I was told this was a must do when in Savannah and be sure to get there early. We got there at 10:30am and the line was already long. At 11am they sat the first 80ish people. One of the relatives of Mrs. Wilkes kept us entertained with the history of the establishment as we all stood in line in t
This Place has never missed. From being outside waiting in line listening to Ms Erin....which made us even more hungry...I think.lol. The food and the guest we sat with at the table were Great! I was so hunrgy when we sat down...I forgot to take pics of the food...Oh well, you must try it for yourse
I was there on a business trip so I didn’t have a lot of time to go many places. This place is perfect for trying out many of the local dishes. I was there on a rainy day so the line wasn’t too bad. They seat people 10 at a time because they fill up one table at a time. The atmosphere is very cozy a
This landmark is a must when visiting Savannah! Be there early and prepare to wait in a shaded line on stunning W Jones St. Make friends with people around you in line because you’ll most likely be seated with them for this traditional family style low-country feast. There are typically three meats,
