Regardless, I agree with both NakedYoga's assessment.



I've heard good things about Elizabeth's on 37th, but I have yet to try it.

I was messing around since it technically didn't answer any question.




Anyone have any thoughts on the places i listed above? I saw some places that seem nice for dinner but i'll only be there at like noon

I haven't eaten at Mrs. Wilkes since I was in middle school (and I remember it as excellent); when I went to Savannah a few weeks ago, the locals all raved about it. I'd go there.

No worries. Though I was kind of thinking "man, this guy is really worried about getting a very specific critique of Paula Deen."

I went to the Pink House a few years back, and I was underwhelmed. A lot of people like it though, so my experience may not have been representative of the norm there.

Perhaps Macelwee's or Williams'? If not those are still great places. Although I think I heard Williams' burned down.

It seems to me the name was George's of Tybee Island or something like that, it was fine dining. It wasn't the Crab shack.

Ahh my mistake. Both of these definitely are more of the typical beachside walk-up seafood restaurants. Oyster shell parking lot and all.

I disagree with this. I ate at Hyman's once and had probably the best grilled flounder I've ever had in my life.

Also, I second the suggestion of Boar's Head. We ate there once and I remember it being very good.

I went to Paula Deen's restaurant, Lady and Sons. Great fried green tomatoes but other than that, the food wasn't all that special.

Elizabeth's on 37th - not exactly "low country," but good. I've probably been there a dozen times - I'm never disappointed. Johnny Harris - again, more BBQ than "low country" but they used to have good shrimp and grits on the menu. This is an old school place, I guarantee you'll like it. The line at Ms. Wilkes will be loooong. It opens at 11am, get in line at 10. There's always the Pirate's House You'll have better luck with true "low country" cuisine outside of Savannah, IMO.

Sucks about the line at wilkes. don't want to wait in line. Will probably just go to Wiley's BBQ since it seems like it's gonna be good bbq and i'm not a huge southern food fan anyways so no point in going out of my way. Thanks for the recs

I used to live on Wilmington Island but too long ago to remember much. I actually don't know what low country food is, so I will just ignore it. I remember eating at Il Pasticcio for Italian. Can't remember any place that stood out too much except Mary's steak and seafood place (or some such thing) that served the steak on a stone and had a ice cream lollipop (mint icecream in chocolate) sitting in a CO2 bath. But that was out there near the mall.

I was friends with the people that opened:

Which I heard is quite good, tapas and martinis. That's probably not low country either.

Elizabeth's on 37th - I worked there as a line cook from 85-87. It was my first cooking job and I learned a great deal. Beautiful place although I'm not sure it compares at all to the best in NYC. Do check out Mrs. Wilkes Boarding House.
