Description:
Paula Deen started this place in 1989 with $200, the help of her sons, and a 1910 structure. Her namesake first cookbook, The Lady & Sons Savannah Country Cookbook, is an ongoing bestseller; and Paula also hosts a top-rated cooking show, Paula's Home Cooking, on the Food Network. Lunches are busy with a loyal following; dinners are casual and inventive. Menu items like crab cakes (one Maryland visitor claimed they were the best he'd ever eaten), crab burgers, and several creative varieties of shrimp best exhibit Paula's style. The locals love her buffets, which are Southern to the bone and feature fried chicken, meatloaf, collard greens, beef stew, "creamed" potatoes, or macaroni and cheese. The aphrodisiac dish has to be the raw oyster shooters, each served in a shot glass. Paula's signature dish is chicken potpie topped with puff pastry. Be careful not to fill up on the cheese biscuits and hoecakes that constantly land on your table. If for some reason you don't want a glorious glass of syrup-sweet tea, you'd better ask for unsweetened. In 2007, Paula Dean and Co. established a cookware store in a space immediately adjacent to the restaurant.

My husband and I ate the Sunday buffet. The food was sort of standard southern buffet food. I really expected more variety. The banana pudding was good but the portion was small....

In a recent trip to Savannah with friends we knew we had to eat at Lady & Sons just to do it. We weren't anticipating a fabulous dining experience. They do take reservations...
