I had one request on the list of things to do in Savannah, and that was to eat at The Lady and Sons...my wish was fulfilled.
To get in the door for lunch or dinner, you have to get in line in the morning. The hostess stand opens at 9:30 and they start taking "reservations" at that point. The line went half way around the building, but once the hostess started taking names, things started moving.
We signed up for a lunch reservation.
Katie and I decided to try the buffet because we wanted to sample a little bit of everything. Mom ordered a cup of the she-crab soup...which was delicious!
When you first sit down, they immediately bring you a corn meal pancake and a cheese garlic biscuit. Both are to die for.
We then made our way to the buffet line and sampled every single thing we could get our hands on: fried chicken, collard greens, Lima beans, green beans, black eyed peas, creamed corn, sweet potatoes, sausage and rice, macaroni and cheese, etc...
We went out in style with the dessert trifecta. We couldn't decide on one, so we went with everything they were offering: peach cobbler, banana pudding, and a gooey chocolate chip butter cake. Wow!! What a day!!
We even took our picture with Paula (kind of)! The restaurant is situated next door to the Paula Deen store, so I picked up a few novelties before heading off to the next thing!

Later on in the trip, we tried on Paula's brothers place: Uncle Bubba's Oyster House.
This place had a much neater atmosphere and wasn't nearly a hectic! We stopped in there after visiting Tybee Island. It is situated down in a marshy area with a large outdoor seating area where mom spotted a real live raccoon.
We had cocktails and fried pickles here, but everything was tasty and laid back. I would definitely try it out again if I found myself back in Savannah.
