I've been to Sweet Potatoes Kitchen in their current and previous locations. Each visit was excellent. The staff is phenomenal. This last visit I called about 2:30pm to pick up an order at 3:15pm. The staff didn't say anything. Turns out they closed at 3pm. However, they stuck around to make sure I got my food. You never see this level of service. Some of our favorite dishes are the Liver, the meatloaf sandwich, and the banana pudding is beyond amazing. Definitely going back to see them again and again.

The food was great! I really enjoyed the food! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming . I would most definitely recommend coming here! The only thing I didn’t like was the greens but everybody taste buds are different so it might be good to you all! Our server took great care of us, I didn’t get his name though! They are known for their banana pudding and they didn’t disappoint at all with it!

This was our first visit to Sweet Potatoes. The sign is on the side of a house, but the actual restaurant further back and has ample parking.
Some reviews mentioned that the decor was dated but I disagree. It reminds me of some of my favorite places in the Caribbean. A bubbling fountain, bold colors, terracotta stained floor, ceiling fans, some stucco breaking off around the bottom of windows. It’s supposed to look like this, people!!
The restaurant is very clean and cozy, the staff is welcoming, and the food was delicious !
The menu offers many tempting choices. My partner had a Greek salad with blackened shrimp, I had a crispy fried chicken breast with white gravy, beets and garlic mashed potatoes. We enjoyed both meals. For dessert, banana pudding. And, yes, it’s right up there with the best!
So glad we found this little gem- we’ll definitely return!

Wonderful customer service from the moment we stepped in. Servers were quick and friendly.
We ordered the Peach BBQ chicken and of course the famous banana pudding. Everything was wonderful.
We were staying at a nearby hotel and the sign by the road "Worlds Best Banana Pudding" caught our eye. Glad we stopped by.

I had to be in Savannah for a few days for work, so my partner and I stayed for nearly a week, so we'd have a bit of time to look around. We flew in from the UK, and were staying right on the Savannah River, so there's no way we'd ever have stumbled across Sweet Potatoes Kitchen if it hadn't been for a recommendation from a local. So glad we made the effort and took the trip out of town. It really felt like we got a true taste of Savannah/Georgia/Southern food and hospitality. I had the pot roast (also recommended by the local mentioned above), and my partner had the blackened chicken recommended by our waitress. Both were excellent, and well complimented by the side of collard greens. For pudding, we decided to be sensible and share a piece of the coconut layer cake. It was fantastic. A lovely taste and texture of coconut with layers of sponge that were delightful 😊. I can't recommend this place enough. If you're in the area, do yourself a favour and call in!

My other half and I dined here for the first time yesterday and I was so impressed. From the service and friendly southern greeting at the door, to our knowledgeable server, all the the way down to the perfectly cooked food it was perfect, every bite was infused with flavor. Just to top it off I ordered some banana pudding to go which was hands down best decision I’ve ever made. Loved it!
We will be back! Thanks guys ✨

Absolutely lovely experience.
My friend and I were coming from a long roadtrip and heard about this place so much, so we decided to stop by.
We came in 10 minutes before closing time, an I have never felt more welcome. The servers did not rush us out, to the contrary, the attention was amazing, so warm, and attentive. The food on the other hand… was so delicious!! And comforting.
I first learned from this place because from Ollie & Josh on their Youtube series video “Brits try REAL Southern Fried Chicken for the first time”, since then I wantes to come! The food looked great, and the service aswell.
Lastly, the banana pudding… they can keep bragging about it.. indeed is ONE OF THE BEST!! Magnolia in NYC has nothing on them!

Sweet Potatoes is a "Southern Find" for me. It has everything I can ask for from service staff to food and bar if desired. Tables are nicely spaced in multiple eating sections for a comfortable feeling.
I had grilled catfish in a sandwhich that was made with one of the yummiest rolls I've had. The catfish was done to perfection. Really was tender and juicy.
With it I had great black eyed peas and Lima beans.
I noted the black eyed peas were properly firm, unlike most found in other restaurants that are soft, soggy and much smaller. You can really see why a black eyed pea is a bean. These black eyes weren't giant, rather just right.
Sweet Potatoes has everything from chicken to fish to meat and other offerings you can choose from. You won't be lacking choices.
Give it a try. Sweet Potatoes is a winner.

Really good food and service! I ordered cod fish with some collard greens and garlic mashed potatoes. Cod fish was really fresh. Collard green was alright but the hot sauce made it really yum. Mashed potatoes were also nice with the hot sauce. Price was really good for the portion. Service was really friendly and meal was served on a warm plate (so proper!!!). Really had a good experience there.

The food here is delicious! We ordered our food to-go and the lady who took our order was so kind and sweet. I ordered the Jamaican jerk chicken, Brussels sprouts and of course the banana pudding. Everything came out quick and certainly didn’t disappoint. I highly recommend this restaurant!
