Notes
~Had to wait in line the same morning (9:30 am) to make our 4 pm "dinner" reservations. They only serve a buffet on Sundays, and they close at 5 pm. Service was exceptional. Food was artery-clogging in a good way.

Didn't like this tour. The tour guide oh-so-graciously informed us that he works full-time as a mortgage broker, so the tour ended up being more about real estate than actual ghosts and legends.

~Friends had the chicken and spuds (aka the Original) while I had the fried shrimp salad. Portions are generous compared to what we're used to getting. Lots of room in the E. River St. location, mostly tables and chairs (didn't look like there were booths). Great food!

this sounds like it was a great weekender trip. What hotel did you stay at? It seems many I've seen listed are a litlle pricey.

I really would like to take a trip just to go to Paula Deen's. I am planning to go for my next anniversary. I think I may have my sister in law and her husband into going with us.

This trip sounds great - not only for the food, but for the tours that are listed - I am going to make reservations and surprise my husband.

Meg Ryan and the late New York Times writer, R.W. Apple, Jr., enjoyed Deep South, low Country comfort food at Nita's Place (Bull @ 41st as of this writing). You leave her place with a warm feeling. Her card says it correctly -- there's love in her food. Another great place for the Savannah food experience is Bona Bella Yacht Club (on Lexington Avenue, off Laroach Avenue). Try the crab stew! You can drive there, but be ready to see the area's upscale diners arriving as much by boat from area islands, as much as by car. Sweet Leaf BBQ is on Huntingdon @ Abercorn, a hip little place voted top BBQ for several years and recommended by Rachael Ray.

I went to Savannah back in December of 2006, and fell in love with the city. There was a group of teachers and we went to The Lady and Sons, and while I love Paula - the buffet was just okay. I should have ordered something straight from the menu. The River front area - is GREAT!! I loved it. There is the candy store -- Pralines -- got to love those pralines. Spend some time walking around - if you can. The only negative about this trip was the hotel - it was right off Bay street and that is the main street through Savannah - and it was really annoying to have semis and dump trucks driving through at 2 am.
