Cheesecake and tea
Jordan R.

FANTASTIC! What a lovely experience, we will absolutely be back, we got the lunch special which is $32, including a starter, main + side, dessert, and tea / coffee. The whole meal was wonderful, service was super fast and friendly. The place is quaint and fun, just 11/10. Cheese cake was lovely with the tea, the fries are INSANE! You have to stop here for a lunch. Absolutely delicious.

Meatloaf sandwich
Jeremy T.

I was actually planning to visit another restaurant a few blocks away, but this one was closer to where I parked, so I just ate here. The Cafe has a small lunch menu of salads, sandwiches and apps. The space near the front entrance has a counter display with chocolates and other desserts. A few items looked good on the menu, but I ended up going with the meatloaf sandwich, which sounded unique and the waiter said its filling. It tasted good initially, as it is visually daunting due to its thick stature. Very hard to eat without cutting it in half. When I did that and took the 2nd bite, I noticed the inside was cold but outside was warm to melt the cheese. It's supposed to be completely warm of course, so for that I am deducting a star. It comes with potato chips, nothing special there. Overall for the price, I thought it was a 2/5 They have several different types of desserts, including chocolates, bars, cakes and a brownie. All are supposedly homemade by a local lady. I was going to order dessert anyway, but since my entree was cold in the middle, I was a comped a brownie and took this back to the hotel. I've eaten a ton of brownies all over the US and was extremely dissapointed in this one. I felt it was very basic and didn't seem to contain any exotic or high quality ingredients. To me, it seems like a teenager made it instead of a local town lady. In summary, I am sure other entrees are awesome, but I just happened to come on a bad day.

The sidewalk chalkboard beckoned us in with a $5 Blood Orange Mimosa, so in we went. Cute little shop with a dining area, and counter service. The guy behind the counter was quick to give us his attention but seemed deflated that we were not eating so our drinks were just plopped on the counter with no care given to presentation. * The "blood orange mimosa" was a small plastic cup of Prosecco with the juice frozen into a cube, so we had to wait for it to melt for any taste. * The peach Bellini was a semi frozen chunk of peach likewise dropped in a small cup of Prosecco with no discernible nectar or juice to help flavor it. I'd never tried marzipan (which looked really good!) so I ordered one, and was handed a cute little banana. If you've never also never had marzipan, it's apparently a a gritty sugary almond flavored clay that people shape into fruits. Yeah...

Good food- BIG BURGER - very fresh and good quality. Amazing hand cut fries. 9/10 food! Great service nice servers very respectful nothing to complain about. 9.2/10 Nice old timer blue beach vibe - Wish the seats where a bit cleaner but other then that great WOULD COME BACK 8.5/10 restaurant

Flounder Fish n Chips with side of cole slaw
Mara C.

I don't believe in coincidence however I do believe in happy accidents, and this one was prime. We planned to visit another Yelp location but could not locate a parking spot anywhere nearby. Lucky for us this gem has its own parking lot. Score You enter what looks to be just a counter cafe, yet after receiving a kind greeting you are led into a very light and airy room with small tables and side booths. See photos. Luca, our server was just stellar. After seating us he came back a few moments later introduced himself and took our drink order. Returning fairly quickly we ordered the flounder fish and chips and the bacon wrapped meatloaf sans the cheddar cheese. I also wanted to try the homemade onion rings, and the meatloaf came with homemade potatoes chips I also wanted to sample. Score again! The meatloaf was tender, and the bacon savoury. I took one slice of bread off, preferring a more open sandwich style. The chips were fantastically crunchy with perfect seasoning. The onion rings; some of the freshest and beautifully battered I could ever hope to enjoy. One of the owners, Todd, came out to enquire how we liked the food, and also serve us while Luca was busy, and regale us with tails of his championship corgi's he and his partner have shown and bred. I told him how much we enjoyed the food and also as West Coasters we have recently discovered the Atlantic flounder which makes for tasty eating. Todd told us his comes mostly from Florida. I mustn't forget how my husband spied the lime pound cake in the front as you walk in. So glad we ordered it. Not only an interesting green color but also comes with tasty fresh black berries on the side. Plenty to share. Don't be fooled by the outside of the restaurant which rather looks like a bar or a pub. Be sure to venture inside where you will be delighted to find excellent culinary delights as the menu is varied, prices are reasonable and the service is excellent.

Okra and Ruth's croissant sandwich
Corinne B.

Service is friendly and patient. the food.... Omg, farm and garden fresh deliciousness. They were out of a few things we wanted to try but were treated with delightfully off menu garden peaches with goat cheese from the chef. What an amazing experience, we will be back every time we visit Savannah. Thank you for the services

Shrimp salad tomato

This place is awesome! The food was so good it made my eyes water and the service was great! It's run by these two older men and they are lovely. The food was so fresh and they are so accommodating to any dietary needs. Highly recommend the shrimp salat stuffed tomato and the house made chips!

Shrimp stuffed tomato
Maggie D.

If we could put six stars here, we would! Tod and Michael have the most amazing restaurant, and we enjoy everything on the menu! They know what great food is made of... fresh ingredients, excellent preparation, and simplicity. Add excellent service and you have a winning combination. Wright Square Bistro never fails! PS - don't forget to try the potato chips

Ham & Cheese croissant with fruit side and blood orange mimosa
K R.

Very friendly & prompt service of a delicious brunch. Nice selection of foods, ingredients are locally sourced. And did I mention their chocolates? Wright Square cafe has a charming area to eat in, a couple of tables for dining al fresco, tasteful decor and very clean. We will be regulars!

Just a lovely atmosphere! Felt like someone's home.
Carrie M.

Wow! What a fabulous lunch we had at this charming bistro! Family of 4 (2 kids under 18) all thoroughly enjoyed our meals and the lovely owners (ask them about their corgis!). Husband and I had the mimosas, and they were unique and delicious! Three of us had different option versions of the grilled cheese and LOVED them and I had the salad with the delicious Vidalia onion dressing (buy a bottle to take home!). Fabulous! And we are still talking about the homemade chips and pecan pie! Truly! Do yourself a favor and visit this gem of a bistro! We'll be back for sure on another visit!

My wife and I visited Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room while celebrating our 45th wedding anniversary in…read moreSavannah, Georgia. 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.

Where to begin. There was hype of this restaurant and it lived up to it all!…read moreIt is a beautiful home that is a restaurant along a street with old homes and trees lining and overhanging the road. 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!!

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.

The brunch menu is fairly…read moreextensive, so we had some difficulty choosing what to order....but definitely come hungry because the portions are large and the food is pretty rich. To share amongst the table, we ordered the cinnamon toast banane and crispy gouda grit croquettes. Thumbs up on both, particularly the croquettes which were the right balance of gooey and structured enough to eat with the delicious sauce on the side. The cinnamon toast banane was not so much toast as cinnamon rolls with bananas foster; the cinnamon rolls were really tasty and the bananas foster was good, though the bourbon flavor was strong. For my entree, I ordered one of the lighter vegetarian dishes - the mushroom tartine with tomato soup. I think it is one of the lighter dishes - certainly lighter than what my dining companions ordered - but it was still quite rich with a fair amount of gouda fondue in the tomato bisque soup. The mushroom tartine/sandwich was really flavorful with the pesto, cheese and tons of mushrooms. The restaurant is quite large with an upstairs seating area.

However, the lady at the front was not welcoming to us with our children. She said upfront that there are no kid menus, high chairs and strollers had to be placed elsewhere. I get it, it is good for us to know but it came across a bit unfriendly. She also did not want my daughter to momentarily sit in the waiting area with the other guests. I would understand if this was a fine dining upscale restaurant that was quiet but the ambiance was very ordinary. There was regular restaurant noise and people dressed casually. If you are going to advertise your establishment as "good for kids" please consider the way you are talking to families who want to dine here.

At this point, I didn't know if this place was actually that good or if it was a tourist trap. Initially called the restaurant to see if I needed to make reservation orders or if I can walk in, was told that they typically take reservations, but if I were to walk in now, I would be able to get seated. Decided to take our chances and dine in by walking in. There were plenty of seats. Hosts greeted us, but we're not very friendly. Got seated immediately. The table we were at, maybe I was sensitive, but the light that dangles from the ceiling onto the table was not low enough and aligned with our eyes. Uncomfortable honestly. Our server was very quick, you can tell she wasn't trying to work that day. Cornbread was complementary, wasn't very tasty to be honest. Extremely dry, even the jam was helpful. I opted for the New York steak with fries, nothing wow. My boyfriend got the award-winning house fried chicken with pecan sauce on the side. It was pretty good fried chicken, but not something to always come back to. Honestly, we were very disappointed because this place was very overhyped. I'm glad I tried it, but it's not something that I would recommend because it was mediocre.
