This is something you have to do once when visiting Savannah. It was two of us and We were very lucky with the group of people we sat with. A group of life long friends and newly weds. That kind of stuff makes your experience as it is family style. As you wait 1-2 hours in line you easily hear conversations that make you feel lucky when seated next to as wonderful of people as us. That said the food was good. There were some Sides that were Top notch and others that were just good. The Fried chicken was Good, but not enough for another 2 hour wait, if its just the two is. We would happily do it if we return with our Family.

Oct 4, 2026 · Google ReviewThis place was amazing! I'm so mad at myself for not having a bigger stomach to hold all their delicious food lol
Oct 4, 2026 · Google ReviewEDIT 2026: Still our favorite in Savannah. The food is amazing, but it's the staff that elevate. I even met a new friend (and yes each year we visit I'll keep an eye out for who I swear is my soul sister). Don't forget, honey crusted cornbread and a spicy chili. Until next year. We love y'all! Phenomenal food. The kind that just hits right with your soul. The chicken and meatloaf were on point, the cornbread was perfect and not dry, the greens were cooked perfectly. That stuffing! Yams, yes please. If you are debating the banana pudding, just do it. You'll thank me later. 2023 UPDATE: Consistency is key, and they have the Skelton key of all keys. Was there a wait? Yes. Was it terrible? No. Was it well worth it? All good things are. Absolutely love coming here. Family dinner table style, more than enough food. Amazing and polite staff greeting you like family. Can't wait to come back again. See you again soon!
