Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room Savannah Reviews
I loved our experience at Mrs.
Wilkes' Dining room. Yes, there's a wait... I think we waited close to an hour, but it's absolutely worth it! There were 6 of us and a 15 month old and we were there on a Monday. We had friends with us visiting from the UK and wanted t
Heard so many good things about this place, we had to try
Heard so many good things about this place, we had to try it out. Pro-tip either come at least 35-40 mins earlier and be one of the first in line to get in or come later between 12:45-1pm if you don't want to wait too long. Reminder: this place
Must do dining experience!
Fantastic dining experience! We'll worth the wait. We arrived at 9:45 am (could have waited until 10) and were able to be seated in the first sitting. All of your favorite southern comfort foods served family style at a table for 10. Fun to sit
Can't Understand Why its not #1in Savannah!
Arrived 10/21 at 11am. Line outside wasn't bad at all as we were seated at about 11:10. Seating is homestyle/boarding house. We ate dinner while meeting new people. The food? Fried chicken. Pot roast with vegetables. Rice and sausage simila
Truly great Restaurant experience
Arrived in town on 10/17/25 at noon. Our Uber driver recommended Mrs. Wilkes (lots of history here), and my daughter and I went to check it out. Long line, but we met nice people in front of us and the approximately one hour wait was bearable. Whe
I've have been trying to get to Mrs.
Wilkes for years, but they' were always closed by the time I arrived during past trips to Savannah. This time, I did ALL the research and made sure I arrived by 12:00 pm. Their hours are M-F 10am-2pm. Reviews say there's always a long line.
Fabulous! Food, atmosphere & service staff were all
Fabulous! Food, atmosphere & service staff were all excellent. Mrs Wilkes is a MUST on your To Do List while visiting Savannah, GA. It's like having the best Thanksgiving Dinner except it's with strangers who become even better than
I recently tried the infamous Mrs.
Wilkes restaurant in Savannah. As a general native of Savannah, well a resident of seven years; I've heard so many different things about this place from Barack Obama to many other celebrities stopping in and how long the wait times were. I had
The food is amazing! Family style sit with friends you
The food is amazing! Family style sit with friends you haven't met yet! Service is great! One of my favorite places in Savannah. Save room for dessert!
Great food, great service and a true dining experience.
We highly recommend this place.
Food is delicious.
They bring out all the food. You sit at a shared table. No reservations so get there before they open to wait on the line- def worth it.
Lots of choices
Food was very good .3 different meat and a lot of different side . They put everything out in bowls and you pass it around the table . If you run out ,they refill the bowls .Will be going back soon
True Southern Hospitality
I don't know the woman's name, she is the niece of the owner, but she was so kind to us when we visited; she went above and beyond. This place exemplifies true southern hospitality, and I recommend it one hundred percent!
My new favorite restaurant in Savannah! It's shame it took
My new favorite restaurant in Savannah! It's shame it took me so long to get around to trying it out. The food is amazing! (That fried chicken especially!) I love the homey feel. And the service was top notch! Perfect Southern hospitality.
Nice experience
We had a nice time at Mrs. Wilkes dining room. The meats were very good ( pulled pork and fried chicken) and loved the coleslaw and corned bread. We could do without the sides- lacked flavor. The banana pudding was very good for dessert. It was very
You MUST visit Mrs Wilkes! Worth the wait!
i have told many friends of our first visit to Mrs Wilkes and it lived up and beyond my memories! Still one of the best means of my life!
Mrs. Willkes Dining Room - a Must on your visit to Savannah!
A must do experience. If you want to experience delicious southern style cooking - this family style lunch is for you. We enjoyed 17+ side dishes, fried chicken and BBQ. Muffins and cornbread were a real treat. Be sure to save room for dessert at
At first I thought that Mrs.
Wilkes' s Dining Room was a tourist trap. Boy was I wrong: great people from around the globe and wonderful food! The fried chicken, collard greens and cornbread was amazing ! The cashier was humorous and Mrs Wilkes granddaughter lite up the ro
Soooooo good!
Best Southern food we have ever had! Unique place, with family style service. Every dish was incredible and the atmosphere, service, history and location was amazing. We will be back every time we are in or near Savannah.

What a great vibe this place was! We arrived about 11am to a pretty decent line, but only waited for an hour to eat. The wait is worth it. I couldn't even remember all the sides that came to our table. Everyone we sat with were talkative and fri

Definitely a fun experience with a ton of food!! Be hungry! We arrived at 10am to get in line. Which was a great idea. Shortly after arrival the line was around the block. The doors opened shortly after 11am. We were seated and the food was on the ta
I love Mrs.
Wilkes' Restaurant. The food is delicious and fun meeting new people and sharing a meal together. I highly recommend it. It's cash only.
Yeah, this is a one-of-one experience.
Waited in line almost 2 hours from 10:30am just to take in the experience of Southern Hospitality at Mrs Wilkes. This is a legendary place - plenty of famous people have stepped foot to eat here. When we got there, about 80 people were already in lin
Amazing!! Food was good.
Service was excellent. Would definitely recommend. Ambiance was welcoming.
A true authentic experience!
We followed all the other reviewers advice and got in line at 10am. We were seated with a table full of food by 11:15. It is family style, so you sit at large tables with strangers and pass dishes around until they return to the start. Fried chicken,
Worth the wait!
Such a fun experience. It is like the biggest Thanksgiving meal you can think of. They bring you dish after dish of delicious food to pass around the table. If you need seconds on a favorite dish, just ask, and they will bring more. Don't be sca
A unique dining experience in Savannah
This is a tremendous experience you feel like you are at home eating at a communial dinning room table family style. The food was excellent and we meet some people we wouldn't have meet otherwise. Be prepared to wait to get in, they don'
Enjoyable tourist attraction
Great variety of food. My favorites were the fried chicken and okra. 30 minute wait to be seated, but passed the time with sweet couple from DC..
100% yes.
Do it. Get there early. Wait in line. We decided to get in line around 9:45 am for the 11am opening. We were the 2nd group in line. Very few people showed up between 9:45-10:15. I would still advise getting there earlier rather than later. Everyone
If you leave Mrs.
Wilkes' Dining Room hungry then you just don't like food or you are a strict vegan. This is Southern cooking and hospitality at its finest. I would suggest you get in that long line early if you don't want to wait for the other guests to sit throug

Looking at the menu does not seem really interesting, but I had heard about it, that it was really good, so we went. It was the best I had been to in a very long time. You definitely don't walk out hungry!
Great food served family style! Even when you are dining
Great food served family style! Even when you are dining alone you are not alone! Excellent way to meet new people!
Delicious Southern Cuisine
This is a very unique southern dining experience. We had a 45 minute wait for lunch on a Wednesday, which I understand to be typical. It is family style dining at tables for 10 people. They offer a very large variety of southern cuisine. We enjoyed
There's going to be a wait, but it's worth it.
They only accept cash or check, but there is an ATM on site. Showed up at the 11 o'clock opening time and were seated at 12:30. They do have water, restrooms, and some bench seating available during the wait. The best way I can describe it is that it

Mrs. Wilkes's Dining Room is a great experience if you're in Savannah. The food is really a great reflection of Southern cooking, and I should know because I was raised on this type of food. The food is served family style, so depending on your party
Another visit, another 5-star experience.
There were 5 of us this time and we loved all the food, with each of us having different dishes that were our favorites. The stand-outs were the cream corn, cole slaw, fried chicken, sweet potatoes, beef stew, sweet tea, and banana pudding. Staff w
Best Savannah Experience!
We went for the food but it ended up being much more than that. We went on a weekday and got in line at 10:45. Our wait was a little over an hour, but once inside we ate immediately. The food was amazing and abundant. The people we met at our table w
Amazing food and singular experience. Donβt miss it!
Fabulous! It was my first time to Mrs. Wilkesβ. Wasnβt quite sure it would be my thing - and was a little concerned that the food wouldnβt live up to the hype. I neednβt have worried. The entire experience knocked my socks off in the best pos
Don't Miss Mrs Wilkes...
Glad we waited the two hours in line chatting with locals and travelers like us. They seat you in groups of ten so we had lunch with most of our new friends that we met in line. Once you are seated at a table covered with platters of delicious food
Go hungry with a willingness to wait!!!
Second time, 14 years apart. Just as good as the first visit. A few things to be aware of as of our visit yesterday⦠1) Exactly $30 per person plus tip. Cash only. There is an zATZm on site. 2) Be ready to wait in line. We went at about 1:00-the
Go very very hungry. Endless variety and quantify of food.
After many years of going to Savannah we finally ate at Mrs. Wilkes. We went on a Monday. Arrived just before 11am and waited in line for 1 hour 15 minutes for a table. The food is fantastic. The only thing is that there are so many items (that all t
Worth the Wait!
We arrived around noon on a Thursday and waited about 1.5 hours to be seated. It was well worth the waiting time for the amazing food and experience. I would definitely go back! Mrs. Wilkes granddaughter brought us biscuits and shared stories about
A must in Savannah!
Heard about Mrs. Wilkes for so many years, finally got there. Worth the wait. We were a bunch of friends visiting in Feb, so it was off season, we still waiting on a line to get in but it wasn't terrible. We know the line is known to wrap the block i
You must go!
The fried chicken and banana pudding was worth the wait. Probably the best I've ever had of both. Will most definitely go again.
Worth the wait
As so many other visitors have commented - Mrs Wilkes is such a worthwhile experience. The line is long but organised. They take in 4 x 10 people in the first sitting then after about 29 mins a second set of 4x 10 people. As great niece says in
Total hit!
The best chicken I've had in my life! Everything was really good! Highly recommend, even waiting an hour with a hurt back!

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room Savannah at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room Savannah page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room Savannah to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room Savannah!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
