Anastasia GiorgiovaOctober 30, 2012Good: 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 OrdovezaJanuary 31, 2016The 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 RichardsOctober 31, 2014I 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.
Steve LarsonDecember 31, 2018Southern Buffet, everything was amazing to include: cornbread casserole, fried chicken, Mac N Cheese, cheesy garlic bread, ham, greens, rice N gravy. Blondie 4 dessert. Megan provided great service.
Shelley GrahamOctober 18, 2019The 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.👍
Rafael GonzaqueJune 4, 2016Everything! 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!
Tammy O'ShieldsAugust 9, 2015Southern cooked food at its best!! Had the shrimp stuffed w/ crab meat & wrapped in bacon w/ grits & asparagus on the side! Awesome!!!
Tiffany GonzalezNovember 9, 2015Sunday's is buffet style! $18 per person plus drinks! It was great food! I had two plates! The service was really good.
Bethany WrightMay 5, 2018Had the buffet, and it was amazing. Excellent choices, wide variety. Wonderful service as well. Definitely want to go back!
Mia MisonAugust 25, 2013Calorie-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)
Margot GJune 20, 2015The 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 MartinOctober 27, 2015Surprisingly good we had the lunch buffet not that expensive and great customer service. The cornbread to die for!
Paula DeenJanuary 25, 2011Because 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.
AJanuary 24, 2014The fried chicken was delicious, and our server was friendly and attentive. Overall great experience! I would come back and bring more people!
Francisco CanoAugust 12, 2014If 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.
Cristen TaylorAugust 11, 2014Usually very busy. Food is good. Hoe cakes are yummy. Best value is the buffet. Don't forget to visit the gift shop.
Joe ConteNovember 14, 2015Oh my God!!!!!!! I can see how Paula Deen is a great cook!! This is buffet style but everything on the menu is delicious!! Do not miss!
Chris BendannMarch 30, 2012Very 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!
Louise LongApril 26, 2013Well if you Dont like grandmas cooking..you want like this place...its like you came over after church and she handed you a huge plate And says set down honey and eat...it so good- De CogginsDecember 30, 2017Food was delicious as expected. Place was packed so we ate at the 3rd floor bar. Catfish, cheese grits& slaw.
MK McKenzieMarch 14, 2013The 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.
Shelby GoodNovember 5, 2011Great 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 SmithOctober 1, 2022Can't go wrong with southern cooking. Tremendous all-you-can-eat family style meals with great private event space.
Absolutely amazing! I would recommend if it's your first time there, go with the Buffett! Outstanding Paula!!
AlisonSeptember 18, 2022All you can eat southern food served family style. My favorite was the chicken and dumplings. Don’t hesitate to take your dessert to go.
Lisa ReynoldsFebruary 21, 2016The food is good, but the butter cake might just be the best dessert I've ever had! Not too expensive, either. Very friendly service.
Fran EppingerDecember 29, 2014The buffet was solid. Fried chicken was tasty and above par. Greens, Mac & Cheese and other choices were also good. Staff was courteous and friendly.
🍒 Hells 🍒 Bells 🍒May 9, 2011One 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
Ray RosalesJune 21, 2013Get 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.
L.A. ChanceyApril 2, 2012While 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.
Brittany JeffcoatMay 24, 2014The 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!
Andy GoswickJuly 18, 2012Be 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.
Cassie MaddenJuly 2, 2013Y'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!
Jenny FilasetaOctober 19, 2015We had a formal in the basement and they were so hospitable and kind to us. The food and staff was great!
Danny PJuly 7, 2014Buffet and deserts were great! We made a reservation for 4 a few weeks prior and did not have to wait long to be seated.
Jon SuminskiAugust 15, 2015Great variety of food, reasonable price for buffet. MAKE RESERVATIONS.....wait time is long but food is worth it.
Jeff TakeoverJanuary 26, 2014Tastes about like cheap golden corral food. The atmosphere is fun and if you love Paula deen they sell lots of her nick knacks.
PopWrapped!March 22, 2013The 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. $17.99 for the rest was a bit much.
Marianne VanSteeJanuary 28, 2013The buffet was wonderful! Especially the fried chicken, sweet potato's and corn casserole.
S DiazAugust 24, 2011The buffet is your best bet. Lots of different foods and all you can eat. Get the collard greens and make sure they give you pepper vinegar. Mmmmmmmm!
Debbie O'Hern KimzeyJuly 9, 2015I had fried shrimp with the jelly roll fries (fried potatoes). Nothing was over cookeded, it was perfect!!!!! I give 5his place a 10+.
John PaterakisJanuary 28, 2015The buffet is a great introduction to soul food ... nice selection and well prepared (and all you can eat.)
Jenny DelgadoDecember 5, 2013The most amazing food! The people are great and the food is delicious! You have to go to Paula Deen's "The Lady and Sons," while in Savannah!
Anna AldermanJanuary 22, 2015No reservations needed. It's a glorified dennys. Eat at vics on the river, and the olde pink house when staying in Savannah.
Explore GeorgiaMarch 15, 2013Paula Deen fans and those just looking for a good southern meal can come to The Lady and Sons for a wide variety of delicious menu options!
Andrew ZaengleinFebruary 5, 2018I think I ate two sticks of butter, ya'll. Who can finish that side of grits and survive?- Explore GeorgiaDecember 20, 2012Only the buffet is available on New Year's Day. Make sure to call ahead; Paula Deen's famous Savannah restaurant has many fans.
Marie MuellerJuly 20, 2012Being your appetite!!! Portions are not small by any stretch of the imagination. Chicken pot pie is unusual but delicious! I couldn't finish it.
Rachael DollarFebruary 25, 2012One suggestion and one suggestion only: GET THE BUFFET. It's the best way to get a taste of everything. You might want to go for a walk afterwards.
Brandon RogersJune 8, 2013Food was pretty good. Especially for buffet style. A little pricey. For 2 adults and 3 children it was over 100$ w tip. Desserts that come with buffet aren't that great. Overall I'd give it a B grade.

"Open space for sitting or hanging out with friends. Also a great meet up spot since it is so open. It separates City Market from the rest of the downtown area going East."
