Her restaurant attached to her store was a disappointment. The basket of bread arrived with human hair baked in it, the plates and serving dishes were plastic, and the ladies room was disgusting. Our meal was decent but I will not eat here again.

My family and I went on vacation to Savannah georgia and wanted to try Paula Deens. The staff on the third floor was rude. We asked to be moved due do the ac on top of us and they would not move us. The food was not the greatest and the so called famous peach cobbler tasted like can peaches. For 4 people it was over 125.00. Would not recommend to anyone.

Lady & Sons Restaurant was incredible. The best flakiest tastiest chicken pot pie Ive ever had. So glad we stopped in Savannah on our trip home from Sleuthfest 2019.

Mediocre food at best. Better chicken at KFC. Chicken & dumplings were missing the chicken. Mac & cheese was cold. We were really disappointed.

Review №23

Honestly a big disappointment when we Arrived we waited forever on drinks and it wasn’t even busy, all the food, except for the sides were bland. Not something you expect from a chefs restaurant especially when your paying nearly 25$ a person when Popeyes has better fried chicken. also we were told they had ran out of a bunch of main items when they only have 5 main items to choose from . They were still seating people telling them they had what we were just told were out of. Waiter wasn’t the nicest or professional when I asked for another side of meatloaf (only tasty main entree)he laughed and came back and said basically sorry about your luck we ran out and aren’t making anymore, which was weird considering it’s a high end buffet style restaurant that only has a limited selection. Manager came by and even agreed the waiter was acting unprofessional after we asked for the checks it took another half hour to just get our checks and leave HIGHLY dissatisfied, do not waste your money at this establishment Your paying for a name and not the quality of food

The food was horrible, it was cold, the food had no taste, the catfish was salty, abd it was an all you can eat restaurant, when they knew you would not get through the first saving. It should close it would not be missed. What a disappointment!!!!!

Lunch Savannah 102 Congress streetGreens had a familiar but un-familiar taste couldnt pin point cooked with smoked turkey possible bad meat.the serving was very tiny approx one spoonfulPot roast dry but edible.Catfish was fresh the initial taste salty then it mellowed outCandie yams very sweet deliciousGreen beans melted in mouth like apple sauce textureCheddar garlic biscuits too wet douey good flavorReserve comment on peach cobbler Im partial to my wife it was okayMacaroni was awful looked like boxed Mac and cheese not baked we were scared to try itMy first impression is usually our lasting one.Service from the waitress and host was very courteous that was a plus. this is not our ideal of southern food.

We bought the non stick pots and pans sets from her store and was told they would not fade. I do not put any pots and pans in dish washer and they look horrible. I don’t even use them everyday. I tried calling warranty and they would not help me. I think they need to send me a new set and take these back.

The food was disgusting, the rice was greasy, the collard green was salty, the catfish was flat and the candies yams was so heavy with marshmallows. The waitress didn’t even address my concerns when I told her the the catfish was flat. The food was not worth it, go to another place don’t waste your time, money or energy. I am warning don’t eat here.

Posting this for Lady and Sons restaurant...the food was good but the wait staff was extremely unorganized and not friendly. We were told 20 minute wait when we walked in, and ended up waiting an hour and a half. They were seating same sized party guests out of order. Some were being seated in 20 minutes and others were being seated over an hour later. Some guests had checked in, waited for an hour and when they went up to the wait staff, they had improperly added them in the system so their wait time started over. Overall bad experience, we couldn’t appreciate the food because we were so flustered with the check in experience!!

While I love Paula Deen, I was only moderately impressed by the restaurant. I hate saying that, really I do. I love the character of the place & while Im sure the staff get tired of so many tourists they seemed to do well under the pressure of a full-house and a half-hour wait while we were there. I do believe they were not the typical friendly southerner type folks that kill you with kindness, but again, being in such a touristy place & dealing with such a variety of folks can skew anyone.I was disappointed with the menu selection--Im unable to eat buffet (medical reasons) & often end up taking leftovers home to eat later, so I was unhappy that I couldnt choose southern mainstays from the menu. I was looking forward to a good dose of southern veggies like I grew up eating. They had good menu options, but for what I really wanted to eat-it was only available on the buffet. What I did eat- fried shrimp-was the, hands down BEST shrimp Ive had. Keeping in mind that I didnt grow up with locally fresh seafood, I found it to be really tasty-cooked perfectly. My husband chose the potpie which was not only good but presented beautifully with a lattice top of what I believe was puff pastry--not your standard southern topping but it was light, tender and really good. Hands down the BEST sweet tea we found on our 4 day visit & we KNOW sweet tea.The store was very geared toward the Yall theme which I expected. A good variety of items to choose from and they where certainly ringing up quite a few sales from the guests.

On vacation in beautiful Savannah. Great food at the adjoining restaurant, friendly wait staff and cute selection of items in the gift shop for those take home memories.

Not only is this a store for Paula Deen’s kitchen products and cook books, it is also a wonderful, cozy restaurant. The food is in proper proportions as to what is required for a meal. The restaurant does not cater to large meals, but to delicious meals in the right amounts.The staff are wonderful: courteous, friendly, professional and respectful. The food is absolutely delicious. The restaurant is in a downstairs corner building. The kitchen is in the basement and the store is on the second level, with some items also sold on the first.The Lady and Sons is a gem found about a quarter mile from the Savannah River.If you ever find yourselves in or around Savannah, please ensure that you take time to eat and Shop at Paula Deen’s The Lady and Sons Restaurant. You will be very glad that you did!

The food here was fantastic it was all you can eat, the food was just straight down-home southern cooking. I did not have one item that was bad tasting and the peach cobbler the best Ive ever had anywhere I recommend this to everyone to stop here in try their food. Not too pricey

Review №63

A shop dedicated to anything Paula Deen. Really cool products with decent price tags. There is also a restaurant within the store which is pretty good too. However Sunday brunch is a buffet that you pay for. So if you want to order your own meal I suggest you pick a different day. The quality of the food was okay...Nothing too WOWing about it...But its not bad either. Sometimes the wait for this place can be ridiculous.

Im a huge Paula Seen fan and I loved her store! The restaurant that is attached is very good....you have a choice of ordering the buffet or ordering from the menu. The food is southern comfort foods, so very rich & heavy....so go hungry!!!!

Review №65

A glorified Golden Corral; I tasted MREs better than this. I ate on the third floor which has one bathroom augmented by a pungent odor. The downstairs decor resembled a high school cafeteria while the upstairs decor reminded me of a street in Paris. I felt absolutely embarrassed to eat there.

Buffet was limited with choices...as in a salad bar and one buffet. Not worth $18, as well as a wait. The server was awesome though! The food I could have made at home or gone elsewhere for better quality.

My neice got married on Tybee Island in mid August so there was a small group of us down there from Texas we wanted to give Paula and her sons a try, the food would have been pretty good but on this day the food was so salty that we couldn’t enjoy it. This coming from someone who has to season my food with salt. The chicken was fried just right but everything from the vegetables to the fried chicken was too salty I’m talking make your lips pucker salty!!! Very sad and disappointed.

Her products fail after a couple of months and warranty wants you to pay more to ship it back to them what it is worth! Should have listen to all the bad reviews of her products. Cant believe she puts her name on it. Walmart quit selling her items do to all the returns and defective products. STAY AWAY! DO NOT BUY!
