I ordered the three fried chicken wings, cabbage and candied yams. Everything was delicious especially the cabbage which was seasoned to perfection. The biggest surprise for me was the hoe cake which took me all the way back to my childhood days visiting my grandmother's kitchen on any given special Sunday dinner, as a stack would be placed on the table to go along with the dinner. Needless to say I enjoyed the hoe cake, you sure don't see those everyday. The service was excellent and friendly, the sweet tea was everything, I can't wait to visit Big Ma's Soul Food again.

After numerous searches while traveling on 321 to Columbia from the coast, it was obvious that…read morethere would be little to nothing available for an adequate food stop. It was difficult enough to find a clean and modern gas station/convenience store much less a decent eatery. So discovering Elizabeth's was a gift. We ordered a bacon cheeseburger with everything and fries. We split the meal. The single patty was perfectly encased in the right sized bun. All the toppings tasted fresh and in the end, it was an extremely enjoyable burger. Sadly, the crinkle cut fries were barely warm and not crispy. Why? Pre cook the obvious frozen spuds and then just dunk them back in a hot fryer right before the patty comes off the heat. So if I could give 3 1/2 stars I would as the side dish was half our meal and it disappointed. We couldn't sample any of the ice cream creations as the business' s freezers were kaput from the recent storms. Absolutely understandable. Elizabeth's is definitely worth a visit if you are traveling through the backroads of S.C. Just ask for extra crispy fries, you might get lucky.

The food smells good but the place has a stinch that can turn your stomach upon entry. They are sometimey. Sometimes the breakfast bar is up in the mornings and sometimes it is not. Sometimes they have a cook and sometimes they don't. No website to update and let you know what's on the menu for that day. You have to come in and look or call and ask. Came for the breakfast bar but of course it was not up. So I ordered 2 eggs and a side of crispy bacon. This picture is what I received for the price of $5.58. When last week I got the same thing and it was $3.49.

Now that we are vaccinated, we are beginning to venture out again. When we went to Govan's last night, we appreciated their focus on health safety, without making things feel repressive. It felt like coming home again being able to see our friends there, having a fantastic meal and a few laughs. One of the things I like best about Govan's is the friendly crowd that comes here.

If you're looking for a true Southern dining experience, Mrs. Wilkes' Dining Room is an absolute…read moremust. The entire experience felt incredibly nostalgic and reminded me of gathering around the table for Sunday dinner with family. It's unlike most restaurant, you'll be seated family-style with other guests, making it easy to meet new people. We actually had the pleasure of chatting with two wonderful people while waiting in line, which made the experience even more memorable. The staff was genuinely warm and welcoming, and we even had the opportunity to meet Mrs. Wilkes' granddaughter, who now owns the restaurant. She was just as kind and friendly as everyone else, and you can tell the family tradition is still alive. Come hungry because the food just keeps coming. They had just about every Southern comfort food you could think of--pulled pork, fried chicken, mashed potatoes with gravy, macaroni and cheese, vegetables, biscuits, and countless other homemade sides. Everything tasted fresh, comforting, and exactly what you'd hope for from a classic Southern meal. A couple of things to know before you go: it's cash only and currently $35 per person, which I thought was well worth it considering the quality, quantity, and overall experience. Also, expect a line--it starts forming before they open, and they're only open from 11 AM to 2 PM, so arriving early is definitely worth it. This is much more than just a meal, it's a Savannah tradition and an experience I would highly recommend to anyone visiting the city. I'd absolutely come back the next time I'm in town.

Excellent experience. We arrived after the main crowd and were seated right away. The table was…read morecovered with what seemed like every Southern dish imaginable--far more than anyone could reasonably try in one sitting. I managed about ten, and everything was well prepared, generous, and full of flavor. The communal-table atmosphere makes the meal feel less like dining at a restaurant and more like being welcomed into a very large Savannah family dinner. The service was warm and attentive, and the whole experience felt genuine rather than staged for tourists. For anyone visiting Savannah, Mrs. Wilkes is a must. Come hungry.

Elsewhere, they're usually sadness food), fries were fresh ant hot, salad was super fresh. DH's Cobb salad was excellent as well - he specifically said that the shrimp was perfect (again, shrimp are easy to overcook) and the chicken (white meat) was tender and juicy. The atmosphere is brightly lit, with lots of fun funky signs. You order at the counter and they'll bring it to your table if you dine in. Soda, a few beer and wine choices (although they only had 1 wine available). Super lovely, friendly staff too. They were gracious when I asked for extra takeout boxes and didn't even charge me. Wheelchair accessible (I use a chair) but be aware that the bathroom is tight- doable, but on the smaller side. Due to the age of the building, it's a retrofit that did the best it could. I've been in much worse, in newer buildings. Prices were amazingly reasonable. 10/10 recommend, and if we're ever in that area again, we'll seek it out.

It doesn't feel corporate or manufactured at all. More like you've stumbled into somebody's lovingly chaotic backyard dinner party where the food just happens to be genuinely top-tier. The mismatched charm, handwritten feel, and warm atmosphere are part of what makes it so special. There's this brilliant contrast between the laid-back hole-in-the-wall vibe and the seriously refined cooking coming out of the kitchen. We started with the fried green tomatoes which were incredibly tender, fried perfectly, and drizzled with a lovely house-made ranch. The sweet house pickles alongside were such a good touch. We also each had a cup of she crab soup which was beautifully seasoned and packed with tonnes of crab morsels. For mains, we shared the shrimp and grits and completely understood why the recipe has won awards, including being recognised as the 3rd best in the world. The recipe is rooted in traditional Lowcountry cooking but elevated with layers of flavour that somehow still feel comforting and homemade. The grits were unbelievably creamy, and the shrimp and sausage were perfectly cooked with fantastic flavour throughout. We also split the seafood purloo with blackened grouper, and it was equally impressive. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted incredibly fresh without trying too hard to be fancy. What really made the experience though was the staff. Everyone went above and beyond. They took time to chat with us about the area, paced the courses perfectly so nothing felt rushed, and by the end we were leaving with handshakes feeling more like guests than customers. Places like this are getting harder to find. We'll absolutely be back and would recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Lowcountry food served by genuinely wonderful people.
