“Amazing, homey southern experience with great food. The fried chicken was amazing. And just so many delicious sides! Come hungry because there is sooo much food and not enough stomach space for everything! … Eating family style at a large oak table is definitely a fun experience. I can see why this is a local must-visit.”
“The fried chicken is the BEST we have EVER had … the fried collard greens were soooooo yummy … all of the sides were cooked to perfection!! … It is such a neat experience as you do dine at the table with those you waited in line with and everyone passes the food around. Definitely a MUST visit place in Savannah!”
“The two hour wait is part of the overall experience. … There were probably 20 different dishes on the table. The fried chicken was delicious. … The other standouts for me were the fried okra, cabbage, green beans, au gratin potatoes, beef stew, creamed corn, mac and cheese and collard greens.”
