The Lady and Sons

I'm in the process of creating a new worship background website and was in Savannah this week to take some photos.

I've been to Savannah twice before and have tried to eat in the famed "The Lady and Sons" restaurant with no luck. The place is so crazy crowded all the time you simply can't get in. There's like a 3 hour wait.

One trip I thought, "well I'll eat late and go there about 3 o'clock." I was turned away - they were booked for the rest of the day!

Thankfully nobody's in Savannah this time of year, plus the local college hadn't started yet, so my buddy Kevin and I got in with only a 15 minute wait. What a thrill - I told the waitress it was finally a privilege and honor to be a guest.

And it was worth the wait. The place is in a unique 3-story building. We ate on the third story and took an elevator to our table. Each floor is sort of like a separate restaurant with its own buffet.

You can order from a menu but skip it and get the buffet. It's the finest southern cardiac cookin cuisine you'll ever eat.

And the bread... a delicious cheese biscuit and cornbread that looked like a pancake. Pour some syrup on it.

The only sad part of the meal was the dessert. Instead of being on the buffet, the waitress brings out 3 choices in teenie little bowls: a scrawny piece of cake, a molecule of banana pudding or a teaspoon of peach cobbler. The worst part is that it's all on the tray for you to drool over but you can have only one. What's up with that?
