Mrs Wilkes' Dining Room Southern Restaurant ·$$

The sign hangs beneath mossy oaks, so you'll have to look for the line that forms during the breakfast and lunchtime hours at this restaurant. This no-nonsense eating-house has been a Savannah favorite for over six decades, serving up down home Southern treats in the basement of a brick building that dates to 1870. The seasonal menu features a rotating plethora of traditional delights, including Southern fried chicken, okra gumbo, buttery cornbread and collard greens. You won't find a bigger lunch plate in town. Family style dining, and cash only.

7年ぶりに行きました。 かなり並ぶので、少し後ろにずらして、12:30ころに行きましたが、30人ほど並んでいました。1時間待ちで入店。 フライドチキン、ケイジャンライス、グリーンビーンズ、オクラ&トマト、ビーフシチュー、バーベキューポーク、ビスケット、ヤム芋・・・など南部料理が丼盛りでずらり。これを10人のグループで取り分けて食べる、独特のスタイルは変わりません。
