It should come as no surprise that Poncho and Lefty consider themselves connoisseurs of southern cuisine. As such, they felt that a trip down to Savannah for a meal at Paula Deen’s The Lady and Sons restaurant was in order.
Getting a table at The Lady and Sons was no easy task. In fact, their first attempt to dine with the Lady ended in failure as Poncho and Lefty were met with legions of loyal fans willing to wait for hours to get a reservation.
The pair devised a way to beat the lines and recruited Federale Assistance to swell their ranks to a party of more than ten guests. Paula will take your reservation (no waiting required) with a large group and a pre-paid credit card!
The atmosphere inside the Lady and Sons is welcoming and bright. There are three floors of dining with large open windows that overlook the streets of downtown Savannah. Things really get going when the bread lady shows up at your table with a mountain of cheese biscuits and hoe cakes to get your taste buds started!
For lunch at the Lady and Sons guests are encouraged to order off of the all-you-can-eat buffet. This gives you a nice but limited sampling of Paula’s famous southern favorites. There are a few additional sandwiches and other entrees that can be ordered off of the menu.
The food is good. Poncho ranked the macaroni and cheese a perfect ten! And the fried chicken lived up to Lefty’s most discriminating standards.
Paula Deen’s success seems to be living proof that what most folks want at the dinner table is a good meal. Get the basics right, and the rest falls into place. The food at the Lady and Sons is not unlike what can be found in local cafes and diners all over the south. Paula does the classics; and she does them well. The standard lima beans, back eyed peas, and sweet potatoes have helped position the Lady as a southern cooking royalty. Job well done!
In summary… if you can manage to get a table at the Lady and Sons; eat up! If not, don’t be too disappointed. There’s plenty of good southern cooking out there waiting to be discovered!
