    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

    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.

    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!

    So the very first night we were in Savannah our Uber driver told us about this gem..we are forever indebted. So here's the basics: This place has been in business for years it seems like every person we ran into has either been to Randy's or has definitely heard about it. The neighborhood it is located in is definitely a little rundown but at no point and time did we feel unsafe. Be sure to get there early because more than likely they will run out of something (in our case ribs) before closing time. You cannot beat the price!! My favorite part about traveling is eating like the locals and hanging out where the locals spend their time. In my opinion that's the best way to get to know any city or town and Randy's seems to be a staple to Savannah!

    Hands down the BEST bbq I've ever had in my life. Crazy-affordable and fast. Get there early so they're not sold out when you arrive.

I had the Hog Wild Platter. The sliced brisket was melt in your mouth good. They were out of ribs, so an extra portion of the delicious brisket filled in. The pulled pork was well prepared although a bit dry. The chicken... ohhh the chicken was tender, juicy and delicious. For sides, the collard greens reminded me of my childhood in Florida. Better than mom's? Yes sorry mom! I love that it's unpretentious. It's not a tourist trap. It was filled with real local folk. The vibe is neighborhood friendly food. The service was friendly and helpful. Summary: Amazing Q, chill vibe, reasonable prices. I will return again and again!

I shared a "Hog Wild" Platter with a friend while his wife tried the vegetable plate. They were sold out of ribs, so we rounded out of order of brisket (sliced), sausage, and chicken (white meat) with a second order of brisket. All of the meats were flavorful enough to eat without sauce. The sliced brisket was on-point. The sausage was grilled (vs. slow smoked) and had great texture and flavor. They gave me chopped brisket instead of a second order of sliced brisket and unfortunately it did not compare favorably to the slided brisket. The sides were solid. Crispy french fries pair well with BBQ as does savory, well-seasoned collard greens. The vegetable plate (fried okra, mac and cheese, cole slaw, and sweet potato fries) also received high marks. There is no review of the chicken, as we ran out of stomach capacity before touching it. We boxed it up for my friend to take with him. Hopefully he will write a review.

It honestly reminds me of that 'Country Greek' hospitality where nobody leaves hungry. The food is just phenomenal. That Fried Chicken is easily some of the best in the South, perfectly crispy and seasoned. I couldn't get enough of the Sweet Potato Soufflé and the Creamed Corn, which was so fresh and rich. The Macaroni and Cheese was exactly how it should be, thick and flavorful with that perfect baked crust. Every bowl they brought out was delicious, from the Butter Beans to the Flaky Biscuits. If you look at the photos, the sheer amount of food is mind-blowing. It's like a massive family feast every single day. Eating on Jones Street in such a historic spot makes the whole thing feel like a core memory. It is absolutely worth the wait.

The restaurant is communal style and only opened from 11am-2pm. There are about 8 oval shaped tables total that can seat approximately 8-10 people per table. I believe they said they can seat 75 total. When you go inside, at each table they'll have sweet tea and plenty of dishes of food for you to choose from already on the table. The options included fried chicken, sweet cornbread, biscuits, green beans, black eyed peas, Mac n cheese, squash, okra, dirty rice, collard greens, potatoes au gratin, Lima beans, pulled pork, beef stew, mashed sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, potato salad, and maybe a few more options. You pass the dishes around the table and load your plate up until your heart is content. The best items to me were the fried chicken, sweet cornbread, and peach cobbler. The dirty rice was undercooked and there were hard pieces. Everything else was just sustenance. If you're a vegetarian, your options will be limited to sides only. You might be able to have squash, Mac n cheese, and maybe potato salad. Many of the items are cooked with meat or made with beef or chicken stock. It's $35 flat per person. Based on the 2 hour and 15 minute wait, I don't think the food was worth it. If the wait was 30 mins to 45 mins, maybe.
