    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.

    Horrible BBQ. Will not be back. Kids fries were cold. Ribs had no meat. They cut the rib tips off. Flavorless food.

    Mrs. Wilkes' Dining Room is the ultimate Savannah experience. It has that authentic, 'at-home' soul…read morewhere you sit at a big communal table and just start passing plates. 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.

    We arrived at Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room at 11:05am. There was already a line around the block so we…read moregot into the line. We were in line for approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes. 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.
