Visiting Savannah for the 3rd time but we will definitely be back here! Jaylan was our server and he was excellent. He has great customer service and made sure we had everything we needed. It will take some time to get your food if you get the fried chicken but it is worth it! It's cooked fresh to order. Hubby ordered the ox tail special with mash potatoes, green beans, mac and cheese. Daughter ordered four piece fried chicken with sweet potatoes, and I ordered the three piece fried chicken with greens. Some of our sides were an upcharge but it was worth it. Everything was delicious, we shared our sides. Hubby ordered banana pudding and finished it before we got out of the bathroom! The bathrooms are unisex and so clean and cute! Overall we really enjoyed our meal and had leftovers. read more

Let's love some of the sides but all in all, it feels pricey for level of service and the quality of the mains (the ribs tasted like they were overcooked and had been sitting out for a hot minute). Also, you're paying for everything- there's no ice water for the table you have to pay for bottled, etc... There is a very nice older gentleman who is always super kind and considerate, but besides him, we've been super disappointed the last few times we've gone. read more

Found this while traveling and so glad we stopped. Deandre took great care of us and we learned about Geneva and her history. My husband and I each got the 2 pc meal. He got the dirty rice and pecan cornbread and I added collards and jalapeño cornbread. Sooooooo hot and fresh we had to wait to have it cool. We left with dessert in hand for down the road. read more

Heck yeah. This place is more than worth the stop if you're passing through Savannah and good luck if you're a local because you're about to fall in love! This place has possibly the best fried chicken I ever experienced. Shatter-crisp, thin breading hiding the juiciest meat beneath, if you poke it before you bite in, you will likely send a river of juices flowing. To put it plainly- I am on ozempic now and it obviously affects my appetite.... The ozempic is no match for this chicken that was so flawless that I managed to power through and still put down four pieces. Did I suffer later? Yes, I sure did. Did I regret it? Not at all, life needs living and this chicken is life. Skip the potato logs, it's a waste of a side option with the many other choices. Yes, obviously you need to get the cornbread too. And the "tenders" and I put that in quotes because the more appropriate name would be CUTLETs. Absolutely huge, tender beyond belief... sigh, I hate that this place is five hours away from home but in a way... I'm also relieved. read more

Sunday, October 12, 2025 at 6:43PM Found this gem online and figured we'd give it a shot. Was seated right away. Place is well clean. We noticed they get pretty busy especially with a lot of orders for pickup. Service by Kiera was awesome, she was real helpful with any questions or recommendations. Food was really good, we would come back next time if ever in town and try a different dish. Minus 1 star for the 2% dine in fee, idk but I don't think I've ever seen a fee to Dine in before read more

The absolute worst food I've ever tasted not only in Savannah but in the entire United States. My take out order was beyond disappointing it was disgusting. I didn't inspect the box at the restaurant and that was my fault. Wrong sides, wrong meat, brisket that looks and tastes like jerky, one cornbread stale and dryer than dirt one cornbread tastes like a waterery spong. I called and had to be transferred 3 times to finally get my card refunded possibly in a few days. Should be called famously disappointing dog food because that's who ate my $36.00 meal. I will never go back. read more

Not to be dramatic but Geneva's fried chicken was the best fried chicken I have had in my entire life! I got the mac and cheese and blueberry cornbread. Incredible! My son had oxtail which he said was the best he ever had too. This restaurant is at an unassuming location in a shopping center. It was so well decorated, organized and delicious we thought this might be a chain, but it is somehow the only one! Highly recommend! Oh! And not shown was banana pudding we got to go! Also delish! read more

The fried chicken is absolutely incredible! So are the fried chicken "tenders," even though they are technically cutlets as far as I'm concerned. Regardless, the chicken was crisp, juicy, and simply phenomenal! The rest was fairly mid and skippable. Staff were nice, but much of the cornbread menu was unavailable when we went, as they had only 2 options to choose. They also had half the restaurant closed off to dining, and they only offered bottle water to drink. Not sure if that's typical, but it was our experience. The restaurant was pretty clean and vibrant too, which made for an overall nice experience! read more

Tucked in a strip mall, this place is worth the wait. Delicious fried chicken. Delicate, plump & juicy fried shrimp. Shrimp sauce was good with it. Potato logs are essentially steak fries, but good. The guy next to us got sweet potatoes and next time, I'm trying those. They looked really good. Service was good. Cornbread is the not sweet kind. Good though. We'll be back next time we're in town! read more

ABSOLUTELY LOVE GENEVAS My husband and I are celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary here at Genevas for lunch straight off the highway from south Florida. Genevas is our first stop in Savannah always, period. The owners, Geneva and Kenny are an absolute gem to this community I'm so sad that they are not in Florida! Nothing compares to this I'm sorry. The chefs in the back know how to cook and season the chicken to perfection I've never had a bad experience and we come a couple times a year and every time we come it's like we were here just last week the hospitality is top notch. The chicken is cooked FRESH to order so yes it may take longer but it is out of this world. I can eat a three piece like it's no one's business the broccoli Apple slaw is my fav and go to but they have many other great side hard to chose read more

Best fried chicken I've ever had! The sides were fabulous! Had the meatloaf and white gravy special...very good! Squash casserole was a first for me...loved it. The Mixed greens weee outstanding too. The cornbread was good it didn't even need butter, but the pecan butter was delicious. Bonus...our server was delightful and helped us choose a great assortment to try as first-timers. read more

I had a really disappointing experience at Geneva's Famous Chicken and Cornbread. The service was incredibly slow, and it honestly felt like our table was completely forgotten. What made things worse was watching other patrons who clearly seemed to know the owner get seated after us and still receive their food first. It's frustrating to feel like you're being overlooked and treated unfairly, especially when you're just expecting basic service. The lack of organization in the kitchen and the obvious favoritism really ruined the experience. Unfortunately, when I visit Savannah again ..I won't be coming back here, read more

If you're in the mood for traditional southern food, this is the place! Located by Target, the restaurant is tucked in the strip mall with the super cool mural. Dine-in or order at the counter to-go. I recommend starting with the zucchini, super delish! It comes with a salsa dip - odd but good! The fried chicken is hot and crispy. The 2 piece meal is more than enough for me. It comes with your choice of white or dark meat chicken, a side and mini cornbread loaf. There's a long list of sides to choose from -- many are southern classics. As for the mini loafs, they have a handful of flavors to choose from (jalapeño, transitional, pecan, broccoli, etc). read more

Customer service and speed of processing an order need dramatic improvement. The lady at the register was disengaged, did not make eye contact, and spoke quietly in the loud restaurant which was very difficult to make out what she was asking me. Another employee from a different part of the store came over and interrupted the transaction to get change for a $20 bill. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. that's unfortunate because the chicken and corn bread are so delicious. You can tell the workers don't want to be there -at least the front of house. I hope it improves because the food is very good. Wait times are approximately 20-25 minutes for a 2 or 3 piece meal with a regular side, no drink. Ambience is fine. It's pretty loud in there. I don't think you'd be able to hear the person across the table from you unless you yell. O read more

The Scene Geneva's is clearly a favorite, and it shows -- the inside fills up fast. It's warm, bustling, and smells exactly like Southern comfort should. Because seating is limited, I'd honestly recommend ordering to go, especially during peak hours. This is very much a "the food speaks for itself" kind of place. The Eats You can't come here and not get the Famous Fry Birds -- it's crispy, seasoned just right, and always hits. Now let's talk about the breads and spreads. The cornbread flavors -- Original, Raisin, Jalapeño, Zucchini, and Pecan -- are all worth trying, and the spreads (Pear, Pecan, Jalapeño, and Apple Spice) take things to another level. Mixing and matching is part of the fun, and honestly, you can't go wrong with any combo. Parting Thoughts Geneva's delivers exactly what you want when you're craving Southern comfort food done right. From the chicken to the breads, it's consistently good and deeply satisfying. Grab it to go, take it home, and enjoy every bite -- this spot is absolutely worth the stop when you're on the Southside of Savannah. read more

Be prepared to wait, but the wait is worth it. Everything we had was so good: chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, black bean salad, and the cornbread! We waited for 40 minutes after we ordered, every table was packed and there was a line for pick up orders. Clearly this place is loved! read more

Took a quick trip to Savannah for the weekend. This was hands down the best food we had while in Savannah and it wasn't even a fancy restaurant. They serve great southern style comfort foods. For two meals the price was only a fraction of the price we paid every where else. Service was great, and everything was well seasoned. I love supporting family owned restaurants. I would absolutely go back. read more

Stopped in on vacation towards the end of December 2024. My family and I were craving friend chicken. After reading a lot of reviews, we landed on Geneva's. We would all say with absolutely certainty we picked correctly. The chicken was perfectly crispy without feeling completely oil drenched. The sides were delicious and a perfect addition to the meal. I myself got the turkey leg special, of course everyone tried and loved. My only complaint is that we don't have one in my home town! read more

We got this on the way out! Never would have seen it in this strip mall location but was a great hidden gem, then come to find out that they have been cooking that amazing chicken for 30 years! Services was great. He came back several times to refill drinks while we were waiting for the chicken, does take a while because they are truly cooking that chicken fresh. Not a huge fan of all those spreads because they were frozen but that cornbread was amazing! Super cute decor that was very modern farmhouse. read more

Plenty of parking! Friendly greeting as soon as you walk in! The place is CLEAN...even the restroom, which is a big deal nowadays. Let's talk about the people and the food. #1 ANGEL was our server. Her personality was just as her name suggests. Super friendly, attentive, and patient. True southern hospitality. Thank you, Angel!!! #2 The food. We were a party of 11, so we got to try some of EVERYTHING. This place did not miss. Just check the pictures for yourself. Personally, i got oxtails, rice, green beans, and yams. Each meal came with a loaf of bread, where you could not only choose the loaf, but you could also choose the spread! I had a blueberry loaf with regular butter. All i needed was a pillow after I was finished. And all of the food was reasonably priced. Worth every penny!!! For drinks, try an Arnold Palmer or a Strawberry Lemonade. Ms. Geneva's daughter, Crystal, came out to greet us. She talked with us for a few minutes and was so pleasant. God bless this establishment on current and future endeavors. read more

Parking Parking is abundant, it's in a strip mall. Restaurant Upon entering the restaurant we were promptly greeted by a nice gentleman. He was very welcoming. The restaurant was very clean,100 score, and tastefully decorated. I ordered a two piece and one side. I don't ever order a fried breast because they are always dry. OMG, when I say this breast was moist, it was to die for. The broccoli apple saw was amazing. We also ordered a fried turkey wing. Ok, this wing was just amazing. The food here is just simply amazing. We will return when back in Savannah. read more

We had just finished up a 5 star Bonaventure Cemetery tour with Genteel & Bard's. Ashley, an AMAZING GUIDE AND EDUCATOR, inquired after the tour if we had lunch plans. She graciously shared a new dining gem that she stated "as unbelievably good". Geneva's Famous Chicken and Cornbread is that must try place. It appears to be fairly new and ultra clean. On Saturday afternoon, it was busy. We were skeptical as we waited to order, but thrilled we followed Ashley's advice. I ordered three pieces of fried chicken with a side of green beans. My cornbread was blueberry with blueberry butter. My wife ordered chicken fingers and selected the broccoli/ apple slaw side and jalapeno cornbread. Our order took about 20 minutes but we quickly realized, don't mess with the chef. The chicken arrived piping hot. Geneva's cooks to order and does not warmed up partially cooked chicken. After the first bite, we understood our guides love for this place. The breading on the chicken was scrumptious, crispy, lightly salted and just DAMN GOOD. The sides complimented the chicken well. The amount of staff working here is huge. The older staff is working hard and staying busy. Two of the younger males were hanging out at the backdoor and chewing the fat during our entire meal. I wanted to ask about the history or story of Geneva's but could not get our young waiter to leave the back and engage us. This place is a gem and the owner needs to be applauded for taking a chance on a dream and more importantly, cooking great chicken. If we lived in the area, I would be telling everyone about the GREAT CHICKEN. Please keep up the drive and ambition with a stellar quality food and employing so many people. GREAT JOB AND FABULOUS FOOD! read more

Best fried chicken we've ever had! Cornbread was delicious and yams were yummy! Amazing customer service

Worth Every Mile for Soul Food That Hits the Heart and the Soul While my husband was staying downtown in the historic River Street area, we had one craving: real, authentic soul food. And honey, Geneva's Famous Chicken more than delivered. We drove 20 minutes and I'd drive two hours if I had to. It's that good. Let's start with the fried chicken golden, crispy, seasoned to perfection, and juicy all the way through. The collard greens were tender and flavorful, the cornbread was just the right amount of sweet, and the oxtails with gravy, Fall-off-the-bone tender. And just when we thought we couldn't eat another bite... the desserts arrived. That Key Lime Pound Cake deserves its own spotlight, sweet and moist, and hands-down one of the best desserts I've had in the South. It truly set the standard. Geneva's isn't just a meal, it's an experience, it's comfort, and it's love on a plate. If you're in Savannah and craving soul food this is the spot. read more

A cute location in a strip mall, it hits the spot at surprisingly good prices. A little bit of everything for everyone.

I like to think I'm pretty easy going, but I was decided not happy with the service and attitude that we received from the staff here at Geneva's Famous. Tip: Even putting aside the poor service and attitude, the food we were served was undercooked and largely tasteless To add insult to injury, the staff seems to be downright rude - our server got upset when we weren't ready to order right away, and they rushed us to make up our minds - is that what people pay to go to restaurants for!? I might go back and give these folks another try down the road, but for right now I'm through with this place... read more

My cajun turkey wings was tuff and not flavorful, however, it was temperature hot. Each time I visit here I have always ordered the turkey cajun wings,it just wasn't the best on this day. I asked for the premium sides upgrade, perhaps my waitress didn't hear me because the sides looked like regular sides. If you're dining inside and ask for a to go boxes, you might as well carry your food in your hands. I noticed they had decent size boxes for the to go orders. I will go back and try it again, I think it just probably was a bad day. The waitress wasn't that friendly, perhaps she was exhausted, I'm unsure. I think the next time, I will make a to go order. If you decide to dine inside, perhaps go during the early lunch hour may be best timing. read more

We were pleasantly surprised by this place. Our waiter was Dimario (sp) and he was perfection! Every last morsel of our food was amazing! From the potato logs to our entrées was so surprisingly good! Dimario took care of our every need before we were even aware that we needed anything. there's also a section for desserts and sides you can take with you. I wish I was staying in Savannah longer so I could try other things on the menu, but I'll have to save that until we come back. This is definitely a recommend! Great job, Geneva! read more

Local fried chicken spot in Savannah. Searching a really good spot in Savannah I saw really good reviews for this place and decided to check it out. It looks small on the outside, but on the inside seating is quite huge and decorated nicely. However I was disappointed in how long it took me to get my to go order. Service isn't fast for a really popular chicken spot. But the wait was worth it because the chicken is delicious and the different cornbreads are worth trying! read more
