    My group of 4 came in for an early lunch on a rainy Saturday. The wait staff was efficient and friendly and we were seated and had drinks quickly. The restaurant decor appears dated and dingy. Our waitress was great. Food: The menu looks fantastic, but the taste didn't live up to expectations. My unsweetened tea was half and half, green beans were very salty, corn pudding was way too sweet, and chicken was dense. Tartar sauce was very good and tasted homemade, but would've been better if cocktail sauce was an option for shrimp.

    All Good things must come to an end. 90 A health score. The vibe wasn't the same as my previous experiences, The restaurant felt damp and Old, and update is in order from the floors to the ceiling and in between. As always the food is tasty. Service a plus. So again I'm not going give up yet, one more try later this year to see if my feeling improves the perception on good old Sweet Potatoes Kitchen.

    We stopped in for lunch a few weekends ago and had no idea this hidden gem would be the perfect lunch spot!!! We were greeted by incredibly sweet staff who were positive and welcoming. We were sat quick, as the dining room wasn't too full. I cant remember our servers name, but she was super nice and helpful too. She talked us through the menu and some of her favorites - we LOVE recos!! We took her up on the meatloaf sandwich and lima beans per her feedback, and couldn't have been more pleased. We also got a wedge salad. The Meatloaf was delicious and hearty and the sweet potato fries were delicious too. But the lima beans... OMG!! By far the best I've had in a while. They were a little lemony, with some dill, and perfectly cooked. My mouth is watering thinking about them right now!! The Wedge was also a great portion with fresh bacon crumbles and loads of blue cheese. YUM!! We will definitely be back!! thanks to the staff for a lovely lunch!!

    We decided to try out Sweet Potato Kitchen, and I'm so glad we did! Each of us ordered something different, and every single dish was absolutely delicious (see photos!). For four plates, two soft drinks, one small dessert and two alcoholic beverages, our total came out to $98. A little on the pricier side, but worth it--the food was clearly homemade and high quality. The restaurant itself is small on the inside, but it has a cozy, homey feel. From being greeted at the front door to the attentive service from our server, the staff made the whole experience wonderful. Definitely a great spot to stop by if you're in the area. Highly recommend!

    I had no idea this place was here! The ambience took me back in time with the decor and colors. The staff was really nice and really joyful to be around! Our waitress was really funny and helped us order our food letting us know which ones was her favorites. I got the wedge salad which was good.

    Very impressed with this charming kitchen!!!!! Fantastic service, great food. Marley was our waitress and was adorable, polite, attentive, just a ray of sunshine. The owners Steve and Wendy even stopped by. Great people! Checked on us multiple times. Highly recommend for good, Southern comfort food.

    I place where I use to be a semi regular, I haven't been here in 3 years cause I moved to Atlanta, I just moved back. This is a place I would have given 4 to 5 stars before . Today, I wouldn't give it a 1star, the portions were small, my country fried steak was way over cooked, how do we do that in the south, it's our thing. It was so bad and inedible I sent it back and just ate the vegetables, the corn pudding was great, the mash potatoes, dry and cold, it wouldn't even melt butter. This is a place I use to highly recommended, not anymore. It a shame, the service was great. You can Steve doesn't own it anymore.

    Don't come here if you're expecting good food. Absolutely awful- for the record, I'm white and this food had no seasoning. 10/10 don't recommend for a good dining experience, you might end up with dysentery- I was so sick after eating here.

    Without reservation we decided to "come early" for dinner on a Saturday evening. The place closes at 8, so we arrived slightly before 6.30. Smoke parking and there's no line which is a good sign. There were 2 other parties in front of us though. Soon after they seated the 1st party and we were told to wait (no specified amount of time). We were probably waited about 20ish minutes before we got out table. The place is packed. Lots of people came after us and had to wait for tables as well. I was getting worried as I read past reviews while waiting but decided to stick with our venture. We were not disappointed! My fried chicken is super moist even though it was chicken breast. The taste is spot on and the right crunchiness as well. The catfish is flaky and light. My husband enjoyed his Jerk chicken. This is super rare because chicken is his least favorite meat, so for him to compliment a chicken dish it must be VERY good

    Cornbread

    Mixed reviews on this place. People are super friendly and willing to share recommendations. The food was flavorful; I had the pecan crusted chicken (comes with one breast for all chicken dishes), garlic mash, and Brussel sprouts. The garlic mash was delicious but the roasted Brussel sprouts were mushy. We asked for corn bread and we should have skipped it. The texture was crumbly and not in a good way and was drier than the Sahara dessert. Also, not sure why some of them were an inch or so thick and others were a quarter inch. All of them were the worst corn bread I've ever had. After we ordered, we waited about 20 minutes before they came back and told us they were out of some of the sides. Three of us had corn pudding but they came last minute to tell us they were out. While the chicken was good, we all mentioned that we wished it came with one more piece to make the meal feel full. The saddest part, in my opinion was that they have on their menu and website they have a top rated banana pudding, which is the real reason we were excited to come, but they were out. Would have loved to know that at the beginning as well. Wish they were out of the cornbread instead of the banana pudding. Plenty of parking.

    We stopped here on the way home from nc and it was SUPER FAST! It was great so we could eat and relax for a bit and get back on the road. I ordered the buffalo sand which and it was SO good. My boyfriend loved all of his food! I was not a fan of the garlic potato's so my boyfriend ate them up lol. Super quick service and kind waitresses. The place is super cute.

    Was immediately greeted at the door with a warm welcome and hello. Justin the server was very attentive and understanding of his guest taste and needs. Food was freshly made and had that authentic southern homemade taste.

    Is the patio dog friendly?

    Melissa yes our outdoor seating areas are dog friendly.

    Is this place best for lunch or dinner?

    Lunch. It's a modest place so if you want more upscale for dinner i'd recommend downtown like treylor park or Paula Deen's...

    UPDATE: Raising my rating from 2 to 4 stars. After my review, the owner Tyler reached out…read morepersonally -- not just with a thoughtful response, but he located my check and issued a full refund without me ever asking for one. The refund came through exactly as he said it would. To be clear, the food on my visit genuinely missed, and I'm not pretending otherwise. But Tyler responded publicly, owned it, and followed through completely. That kind of accountability is rare, and it's what earned the bump. Credit where it's due on the space, too -- the ambiance is genuinely great. Warm, candle-lit dining room, an open kitchen, a well-stocked bar, and a covered patio that had a real buzz to it. It's a spot that looks and feels like somewhere you want to be, which is exactly why I'd give the kitchen another shot based on how the owner runs this place. --- Original review (2 stars): Disappointing birthday dinner. Came in for my birthday and left underwhelmed. Our server Troy was the one bright spot -- professional and attentive all night. Caesar salad: Several bitter pieces of lettuce, and no black pepper offered or available. Faroe Island salmon: Overly buttery like it had been sitting under a heat lamp. The shishito cream sauce was way too acidic -- tasted like uncooked wine or vinegar. Crispy rice cakes were bland and a strange pairing (rice blocks with salmon?). The baby bok choy was decent until the sauce drowned it out. Braised beef short rib: Tender but flavorless. The mashed potatoes tasted old, not fresh that evening. To top it off, my wife had arranged ahead of time for the birthday dessert to be brought out -- the message never reached Troy, so that moment never happened. Troy deserved better than what the kitchen sent out.

    10/10/25 - Party of 2 - dinner When I lived in Alpharetta,…read morethe Jason's Deli across from my office was our go-to place for office lunches and a quick bite. The restaurant was the busiest in an area of over 100 restaurants. I never got tired of their food and enjoyed trying their new items. I've been in Savannah 8 years now and I am amazed this JD is still open. The place is practically empty every time I stop by. On this last visit at 5:30pm, there was only one customer at a table. My partner and I ordered the salad bar (our most favorite salad bar). The lettuce was brown and almost empty. I asked if they could replenish the salad and an employee jumped right on it. She got rid of the brown lettuce and filled up all the items. It was much appreciated! We love all the great items on the salad bar, including the red pepper hummus, the selection of nuts and granola and especially those gingerbread mini muffins. As others have mentioned in their reviews, this restaurant is always dirty. More than half the tables had dirty dishes. The beverage area was messy and really needed a good cleaning. With only 3 customers in the restaurant, why would the place be so filthy?? JD - you can do better! I hope they get their act together and get this placed cleaned up before it closes for lack of business. That would be a shame.
