Hey folks, anybody here lives in Savannah? I am in town for just a day and was hoping someone is nearby for a beer in the afternoon
Cheers,

I'm grew up about an hour north of Savannah. If you're heading through Kansas City on your way back, I'll make sure I have a few cool ones & a hot meal for ya!! Also, don't miss the fingers & spuds at Spanky's on River Street!! God, I'm slobbering all over myself just thinking of them!!!!! Try Mrs. Wilkes Boarding House if you get the chance, or Paula Deen's Lady & Sons, or the onion rings at Carey Hilliard's, or a Chik-Fil-A, or Love's Seafood... Dang, why did I ever move???

 

i was in savannah for 8 weeks a year ago...wow what a nice place...i wish i could move there...turns out im heading to the Austin Texas area instead....if you're a Rib guy...pick yourself some Ribs at Sticky Fingers...get the dry sauce...never had ribs like that in my life...cheers...Savannah is a nicely kept secret in the South...very nice

 

Thanks guys, I am staying at Staybridge, a short walk from the River st. Will head there in a little while, try something from your suggestions!
Cheers,

P.S. Sorry, I am flying back to Denver... wish could stop by. Rain check?...

 

Dang! That sucks... I'm in beaufort, about an hour north... Would have been a great excuse to take the family down there and have a cold one with a fellow DTRonain...

Too late now. Gotta be at work around 0430...

 

i was in Savannah yesterday. friend is in the hospital there. If you had posted a day earlier, we could have met up. I was at memorial hospital.

 

Worked there everyday. You need to go eat at a bed and breakfast. Can't remember the name of the place. You go in and sit down to eat at a big table with everybody you don't know. Just like at your grandma's house except you could be sitting by someone you have no clue about. If you want shellfood go to the Shell House off of I-95 and Hwy 204 right by the Harley Davidson Shop. Great Crab legs and fresh boiled shrimp. Cain't beat it as far as quality. Be ready to wait if you get their at 8:00PM.

 

Yeah, that's Mrs Wilks Boarding house. It was shut down when she passed away. Sad. That is possibly one of the best resturants that I have ever ate at. (that was not a BBQ joint...)

 

Mrs. Wilkes is closed?? Dang, that was an awesome place to eat! Food was very good & it was a fun place to meet folks from all over the world. I've sat next to folks from England, Sweden & yankees.

 

That's it. Mrs. Wilkes. I just ate there last year. The boarding house is closed but the resturante is still open. When did you hear it closed???? Need to take a ride by there today.

 

Info from the wife. She told me this 6+ months ago? I think that she called to find out the hours, and they said it was shut down.

LMK if it is still open. I'll go back...

 

I need to go down to Savannah again, it's a good place to party and to relax. It's just that I-16 makes me want to kill myself, or see how fast the cummins goes when I drive it. I live in Gwinnett county bout 40 mins. NE of Atlanta. time for another visit to the ocean.

 

Buddy of mine went there a month ago. I asked him today. I'll go check next week. GOOD FOOD and atmosphere. Like home...

 

Yep. Eat till you puke. On some stranger that you just met. I almost got into trouble there, some hot chick was sitting across the table from me, and kept making eyes at me... Wife was with me.. I kept my eyes on the plate. (even if she was not there, I would have done the same thing... Could someone please pass the beans? I'm out of tea...
