24 soul food places in Savannah we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Savannah | Soul Food across every city.
Soul food is the heart of how Savannah eats, the meat-and-three tradition of fried chicken, smothered pork and pot vegetables passed down through generations. Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room on West Jones Street is the famous communal-table institution, while Sisters of the New South on the Eastside keeps the everyday plate-lunch alive. The Grey, in a restored Greyhound terminal on Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard, has reframed those Southern roots for a national audience.
