Anastasia Giorgiova

Good: cheddar biscuit , tomato dill soup , 1/2 chicken salad sandwich & side salad deal. Real Blue cheese dressing !! Too greasy: hoecake , fried green tomatoes , crab soup , pork BBQ , & battered chips .

Justin Ordoveza

The Sunday buffet is pretty good, I preferred the sides, the collard greens and Lima beans were very good. The meal comes with a small dessert . Friendly and attentive staff .

Michele Richards

I don't know what it is about it but the creamed corn was delicious. Loved the collard greens , Mac n cheese , and the fried fish ! Pick up Paula Deen's hot sauce for $5 bucks.

Shelley Graham

The Lady & Sons restaurant has a varied buffet including sweet cooked cabbage , mac & cheese , buttery mashed potatoes , rice , pulled pork & chops, fried chicken , and some yummy desserts . We recommend.????

Bethany Wright

Had the buffet , and it was amazing. Excellent choices, wide variety. Wonderful service as well . Definitely want to go back!

Rafael Gonzaque

Everything! It's super quaint with buffet-like service, e.g., you get your own food and your server simply adds it to your check. Good fried chicken and peach cobbler !

Mia Mison

Calorie-laden... but still good once in awhile. When in Savannah, this place is a must. This is the only place where I actually enjoy the grits :) Loved the desserts too (yes each and every one of em)

Tammy O'Shields

Southern cooked food at its best!! Had the shrimp stuffed w/ crab meat & wrapped in bacon w/ grits & asparagus on the side! Awesome!!!

Margot G

The fried chicken is amazing! My favorite item was the cornbread with actual corn pieces in it! It was like cake ! The actual butter cake was delicious also!

Adriana Martin

Surprisingly good we had the lunch buffet not that expensive and great customer service. The cornbread to die for!

Francisco Cano

If you're looking for authentic southern food , this is the place to visit. Just make sure you have a reservation before stopping by, it can get pretty packed.

Tiffany Gonzalez

Sunday's is buffet style ! $18 per person plus drinks! It was great food! I had two plates! The service was really good.

Paula Deen

Because y'all have made us so popular and to ensure that everyone has an equal opportunity to eat with us, we cannot accept reservations for parties smaller than ten persons most days of the year.

Shelby Good

Great service and awesome food!! The fried chicken and collard greens were awesome! also recommend the banana pudding and gooey butter cake ! I wish I lived closer to Savannah, best food ever!!

Jonathan Smith

Can't go wrong with southern cooking . Tremendous all-you-can-eat family style meals with great private event space .

The food is good, but the butter cake might just be the best dessert I've ever had! Not too expensive , either. Very friendly service .

Louise Long

Absolutely amazing! I would recommend if it's your first time there, go with the Buffett ! Outstanding Paula!!

Chris Bendann

Very affordable and delicious dinner buffet ! The pancake and cheddar garlic biscuit they serve is amazing too! Check in Early in the day for evening reservations ! they don't do phone reservations !

MK McKenzie

The fact that anybody has said anything negative about the buffet is astounding to me. I am extremely satisfied, and very impressed. Alcoholic Arnold Palmer is a must.

???? Hells ???? Bells ????

One of the best places I've ever eaten at, I don't believe It's over priced for what you get like some have said my salad waa $10 & its the biggest salad Ive ever seen & SO good! Staff r amazing

Cristen Taylor

Usually very busy. Food is good. Hoe cakes are yummy. Best value is the buffet . Don't forget to visit the gift shop .

Ray Rosales

Get here early and make your reservation ahead of time. Take a walk around the area and you'll see amazing parks and historic buildings and statues .

Jenny Delgado

The most amazing food! The people are great and the food is delicious! You have to go to Paula Deen's "The Lady and Sons," while in Savannah!

Brittany Jeffcoat

The sangria is amazing and so are the garlic cheese biscuits !!! Also try a peach mint julep if you like bourbon but watch out its stong!

Jenny Filaseta

We had a formal in the basement and they were so hospitable and kind to us. The food and staff was great!

L.A. Chancey

While I might have grown up consuming such foods and very seldom do buffets , for a reason I might add, if you are new to the south, give it a whirl. Down home cookin ' but calorie laden.

Rachael Dollar

One suggestion and one suggestion only: GET THE BUFFET . It's the best way to get a taste of everything. You might want to go for a walk afterwards.

John Paterakis

The buffet is a great introduction to soul food ... nice selection and well prepared (and all you can eat .)

Danny P

Buffet and deserts were great! We made a reservation for 4 a few weeks prior and did not have to wait long to be seated.

One and done. I’ll never go here again. Everything is overrated and the way that the staff is set up . . . Very much “Get Out”

Debbie O'Hern Kimzey

I had fried shrimp with the jelly roll fries (fried potatoes ). Nothing was over cookeded, it was perfect!!!!! I give 5his place a 10+.

Christy Simmons

The food was amazing, definitely will be back

Cassie Madden

Y'all are haters! Paula can cook! It's like a good ol' Southern Thanksgiving with fried chicken instead of turkey ! Sweet potatoes are to die for!

Andy Goswick

Be sure to make a reservation . We leaned the hard way that's it's first come first serve for walk ins but most make a reservation . Wasn't too happy about but we will make reservations next time.

Marianne VanStee

The buffet was wonderful! Especially the fried chicken , sweet potato 's and corn casserole .

Jeff Takeover

Tastes about like cheap golden corral food. The atmosphere is fun and if you love Paula deen they sell lots of her nick knacks.

Brandy Lynn

Shrimp and grits were delicious and very filling!

S Diaz

The buffet is your best bet. Lots of different foods and all you can eat . Get the collard greens and make sure they give you pepper vinegar. Mmmmmmmm!

PopWrapped!

The service is absolutely exceptional. 5-Stars there. As far as the food goes, the only "standout" buffet items I found were the BBQ Baked Beans & the Pulled pork . $17.99 for the rest was a bit much.

Marie Mueller

Being your appetite!!! Portions are not small by any stretch of the imagination. Chicken pot pie is unusual but delicious! I couldn't finish it.

James Pittman

Get the sweet tea ! It is the best I have EVER had!!

Anna Alderman

No reservations needed. It's a glorified dennys. Eat at vics on the river , and the olde pink house when staying in Savannah.
