    Across the street surveilling the atmosphere
    Derek H.

    Friendly people, just know that you want to order. Food came out hot and survived the 40 min drive back to Richmond Hill.

    Deviled crab
    Christina B.

    It is certainly a journey getting food from Randy's. Let me tell you: if you don't go knowing what to expect, you might get a little frustrated. We were advised to get there early since it can get busy, so we arrived around 10:30 am (when they open). There were at least 5 others in line before us, and more started queueing up after. The parking lot is almost non-existent: there is a small patch of concrete and gravel next to Randy's that can maybe fit 5 cars max. I suggest you park across the street where you can park comfortably. We waited for about 40 min in line as the folks at Randy's were finishing up the BBQ (or so I assumed... Things weren't really communicated to us, but there was a LOT of smoke emitting from the tent right next to the store). A man started taking everyone's orders about halfway through the wait, so be sure you know what you want to order! (Their menu is posted on their door.) Everyone was ordering a slab so we did too, along with a deviled crab. There's no seating, so everything is takeout (and cash) only. Speaking of which, Randy's does have a nice little ATM right outside for those who didn't think to prepare cash. Anywho, onto the review itself: the deviled crab was delicious and tasted like a $16 crab cake from Maryland (despite being only $3! What a steal!). The ribs were fine. Good deal for the slab - $25 and fed 2 people for 2 meals. The sauce was a blend of ketchup, mustard, and mayo (we asked for sauce on the side). Didn't get to try the chicken this time. All in all, I'd say Randy's is worth going to for the value and the experience.

    The line at 1030am
    MD W.

    Well maybe we went at a bad time, because this place always has a long line outside. When I notice a new place I wanna try I do the following: 1. Stalk their Yelp page (yes, tips and ALL) 2. Read the reviews 3. Closely evaluate the pics 4. Read through the menu to make notes So I was so eager to try the Pulled Pork sandwich, BBQ Ribs, and ALL the sides!!! We got there at 10:30 am when they opened and it was already a line YES! Just to put in the order and to find out that "WE ONLY HAVE RIBS TODAY"... Oh I know you lying (in my Southwest Ga inside voice)!!! Got a slab of ribs (not sure why but they were sliced) and only cost $20.00 with the sauce on the side! The ribs were piping hot, needed a bit more seasoning, had great grilled smoke flavor and juicy.The sauce has a thick mustard consistency. I would recommend calling ahead to verify the menu items for that day. I definitely would return to try the sandwiches though...

    Medium ribs.
    Jan W.

    Great ribs with sauce! No veges available which is a downside. $16 for 2 plates of medium serving Service is pick up only. We waited in a line about 20 min Ambiance??? None but food is great

    Excellent!

    I was vacationing in Savannah. Best meal in Savannah hands down. Ribs were great. Sauce was excellent. Get here early at 10:30 and you won't be disappointed. Savannah has some excellent dining options, but Randys was my favorite.

    ows the outside of the building

    Stood in line for more than an hour and a half in the heat, they never updated anybody, hardly anybody ever got food unless they seem to be friends with the people who run it. Let me stand there for over an hour and a half only for me to find out they were out of chicken because I overheard it from somebody in front of me in line. I don't know how good the barbecue is but it's not be worth the wait I hope that nobody ever goes there again until they learn to appreciate their customers

    Half slab - had already eaten the other half
    Jara M.

    Amazing. That is what I have to say. We got a full slab - came with a huge container of delicious thick Sauce. Fantastic subtle rub and full on smoky flavor. There was a long line but he moves people through quickly. If you are looking for some fancy sit down place this is not for you. If you are an actual bbq junky then you need to give this a try. It won't disappoint.

    Amanda R.

    You'll have to wait in line but it's worth it. 1 slab is about 20 ribs. They cut them for you and slather in sauce! Not a good spot to park or sit. Probably best idea to park across the street and walk over. Have somewhere in mind to eat after you get your food.

    In a slight food coma after finishing the most tender rack of ribs covered with a deliciously sweet and tangy sauce from Randy's I got about an hour ago. This is a no frills local establishment, which are some of the best places to eat IMO. The gentleman behind the window was super friendly, which was sweet since I clearly wasn't from the area. I got here around 11:20am on a Wednesday and there were only 2 people ahead of me. By the time I placed my order, there were 4-5 in line. I left with my ribs before 11:30 so while it's good to get there early, they were also pretty quick. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a good local bbq spot outside of the tourist areas. I'll be back next time I'm in Savannah!

Don't let this scare you away... the good places are always like this!!! We walked in and were immediately greeted and sat at a high-top table. The restaurant was clean and busy. Our server was a younger guy who was in training but you would have easily assumed he was a pro. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and confident when fielding the questions we had about the menu. We ordered a Half Slab portion of their St Louis Cut Ribs platter with fries and mac-and-cheese as a side & the 1/2 Chicken platter with Brunswick Stew and mac-and-cheese as a side. Both proteins were tender and well seasoned. Both were served with a piece of buttered Texas toast. Their original and Better than Sex sauces were great additions to the flavors! The mac-and-cheese was creamy and delicious. Not my favorite Brunswick Stew but it satisfied the craving that I had.

My wife and I each ordered the 4 bone, St. Louis cut spare ribs and 2 sides. She went with Collards and Sweet Potato casserole and I also did. Collards but added potato salad as my second side. The ribs arrived looking a bit man handled but that what due to the tenderness of the meat. Using the "Better Than Sex - Original" sauce was a great compliment to the smoked meat. The meat alone was delicious without being over smoked. Paired with the sauce it was truly delicious. The collards were tasty though I do like mine cooked with some pork added. We were offered some hot sauce and should have tried a splash or two. The casserole and the potato salad were both quite tasty and were nice balanced against the collards. Service was great and I wish we lived less than a thousand miles away. Definitely give this place a try b

And yes, we got the tots -- well seasoned and totally necessary. No dine-in space, but honestly? Sitting in the car with the A/C blasting, swapping bites with the kids, and not worrying about anyone spilling on a restaurant floor felt just right.

The dining area appeared dirty and had an unpleasant odor that made us question the overall cleanliness of the establishment. When we walked in, no one greeted us or explained how ordering worked. I asked if we should just sit down and order, and the cashier, a heavy-set woman with dark hair and glasses, simply said, "Sit anywhere." A moment later, my daughter asked the same question and was told, "You order here, then sit." It would have been nice if that had been explained to me the first time. Because of the poor service and first impression, I chose not to order anything. My daughter did order, and unfortunately the food was just as disappointing. It was dry, flavorless, and not worth the price. Between the lack of customer service, poor food quality, and concerning cleanliness issues, this was not a good experience. We won't be returning.

Before our trip, one of my fraternity brothers told me that if I wanted some of the best Southern soul food in Savannah, I had to visit Mrs. Wilkes. He also warned me that there would be a long wait. Let me just say--he was absolutely right on both counts! We arrived at the restaurant and stood in line outside in the rain. We didn't get seated until 1:00 PM. Normally, I would not wait that long for a meal, but for the record, and I can't believe I'm saying this--it was worth every minute of the wait. The experience was unlike any restaurant I've ever visited. My wife and I were seated at a large table with approximately eight other people whom we had never met. Yet within minutes, it felt like we were dining with family. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and filled with genuine Southern hospitality. The food was simply outstanding. Every traditional Southern dish you can imagine was brought to the table and passed family-style from person to person. The home-cooked flavors reminded me of the meals many of us grew up enjoying. Everything was delicious, and the desserts were just as impressive. What made the experience even more special was the sense of community. People of different backgrounds and races were dining together, sharing food, conversation, and fellowship. The staff worked together seamlessly and went out of their way to make every guest feel welcome. While we waited in line, a gracious lady shared the history of the restaurant and the legacy of Mrs. Wilkes herself. The staff even provided umbrellas to guests who didn't have one--including me--which was a thoughtful gesture that spoke volumes about their commitment to customer service. From the food, to the hospitality, to the rich history and unique family-style dining experience, Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room exceeded every expectation. If you're visiting Savannah, this is not just a meal--it's an experience. I proudly give Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room a 5 out of 5-star rating and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Savannah.

Then when you've had your fill, they bring by peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream on top and/or banana pudding! They take cash or check only. They thankfully had an ATM inside. But the man at the cash register said we could leave and go to our own bank if we wanted and come back to pay!! That wouldn't happen at very many places. Southern hospitality, great food, memories- it is all here. Don't miss this place when you come to Savannah!!

The cabbage tasted like it had been boiled in plain water with absolutely no seasoning. Both the red rice and the New Orleans rice reminded us of Minute Rice or Uncle Ben's microwavable rice--bland, lacking flavor, and nothing like the rich, seasoned rice dishes we were expecting. The fried chicken was crispy, juicy, and well-seasoned, and the potato wedges were cooked perfectly, but those two items weren't enough to save the meal. We came hoping for authentic Southern comfort food, but left disappointed. Sadly, this is one restaurant we won't be adding to our list of places to revisit.
