Lunch in Savannah, GA

We had a great day in Savannah. We took the Spirit of Harbor Town Tour Ship from Hilton Head Island, SC to the city and spent our time in the city standing in line for lunch. Some may find that a waste of time but the restaurant came highly recommended. We arrived at Mrs. Wilkes Boarding House about 11:30 and sat down at our table about 1:20. You may be saying WHAT! why wait that long? This small restaurant has been in business for 40 years, serving family style. There are 5 tables of 10. You enjoy the home cooked food with people from all around the country. One couple was from Russellville, AL, 2 women on there business were from Vancouver, Canada, and four women, friends since their college days at Bethany College in West Virginia. When we were seated the table was set with all we needed for a great southern lunch. Beef Stew, Fried Chicken, Barbecue, squash, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, lima beans, green beans, beets, cucumbers, greens, dressing, gravy, mixed vegetables, black-eyed peas, pork and beans, and others I have forgotten, Sweet Tea and even dessert, peach cobbler or banana pudding. Glad we had to walk back to the ship which gave us time to work off at least 20 calories.  Will be back soon with an update on our winter time in Florida.
