    MEDIUM HOMEMADE PEACH COBBLER
    Liz M.

    This place came as a recommendation from our rental car rep at the airport. We were ravenous after flying into Savannah and wanted to grab a hearty lunch before our drive an hour away. Located in a large shopping center, Shane's is situated in a corner with ample parking. We came in when they'd just opened for the afternoon and our cashier was so sweet and patient. We asked for her recommendations and ended up with a filling lunch. Our 3YO loved the Mac and Cheese & was treated by our food runner with some ice cream. The restaurant is a local favorite and family owned. They are very active in the community and known for fundraising opportunities. The food was delicious and I swear we gained 5 pounds each. We settled into loaded buffalo chicken fries and 2 plates. There was an assortment of hot sauces and homemade bbq sauces. I loved that they had a sink available to patrons (bbq gets messy) as well as a to-go station to pack up any extras you may need (utensils, sauces, wipes, & takeout boxes). The staff was great and super friendly. And we were presented with house made peach cobblers.... Probably the best I have ever had! We asked for 1 extra to go! It was sweet, flaky, buttery, but had a taste of savory caramel flavors. Perfect with vanilla ice cream! If you are ever in Savannah and within 2-4 miles of the airport, please give Shane's a try!

    This was my first and last time trying this place. It was recommended to me by a friend. The environment was cool, good music and clean. The staff were extremely nice and friendly. The food... lord the food was terrible. The meat was so tough to the point it was hard to bite into and chew. The mac & cheese literally was Kraft Easy Mac...I ended up sending that back for fries. The fries were sadly the best part of my meal. If fast food Bbq was a place... it'd be this place

    Alright, so maybe I was just really hungry. Maybe it was because I got lucky and got them on a good day. But I really enjoyed my meal here. Granted, it's a business that runs along the same vein as a Dickey's; however, I can't stand Dickey's. My experiences with that chain here in S.A. a few years back is the reason why I refuse to return. So allow me to switch gears and come back to the review on Shane's. My family had told me they really enjoy Shane's and were determined to take me out here on my last visit. And that they did. Now my mom being the person that she is decided for me what I should get. From there, my only choice was my drink and whether or not I wanted chicken or pork. And of course, as I was trying to decide, she kept saying 'pork' in my ear. LOL I love that woman, I swear. I went against the grain and ordered chicken. She ordered the sampler for me which consisted of ribs, chicken strips, two sides, and pork or chicken (as I just mentioned). Oh and toast. I should have listened to her when she insisted on the pork because the chicken was a little dry. Everything else though was so good. The meat was fall-off-the-bone and seasoned well, the chicken strips were fried fresh and went well with their homemade sauces. As for the sides, I ordered green beans and fries. I enjoyed the green beans immensely. Granted, I have considered myself a Texan since I don't know when (California transplant though) and I am fully aware of 1. there are different regions and flavors of BBQ 2. I have always preferred Texas BBQ and 3. this is a chain. So I tried not to go in with any expectations and I suppose it worked for me. It was good for what it was - fast food BBQ. The cashier was helpful and patient as we were a large group coming in right before the lunch rush. She even came and checked in on us a couple of times after we got our food.

One thing to note is that there's a 2% fee added for dining in, and some of the menu prices felt a bit on the higher side. That said, it was still a decent experience overall and worth trying if you're in the area.

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.

The hospitality is off the charts. You need to come early at least a half hour as the line quickly grows. You sit and eat family style. The host will assign you to your table with others to fill it up. 8 to a table. There is sweet tea waiting for you and dish after dish of goodness! Then they bring out the fried chicken on platters. 21 different bowls of southern dishes- okra, rutabagas, greens, beans, corn, biscuits and corn bread.... Oh my there was a lot. You will not go hungry as the staff are near each table and bringing refills of items needed. 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!!
