sweet potatoes kitchen

interesting. this place does southern cooking with a twist. the twist is it's different from most southern cooking because it mixes upscale presentations with southern dishes and uses more than just fat and salt for seasoning. i ordered a porch chop plate which included an order of lemon turnip greens which were very tasty, an order of tomatos and an order of cucumbers. my chop was very tasty and juicy, not cooked perfectly, but acceptable, the lemon greens were tasty as well. my only problem was an order of cucumbers totaled five small sliced pieces drizzled with a vinegar dressing. at two dollars for this vegetable it was a complete rip off. that come to 40 cents per small slice. the same can be said of their order of tomatos which were three thin slices. we are in georgia, tomatos and cucumbers are plentiful, what's the deal? oh yeah, gouging the customer. be aware of this when ordering at this restaurant because poorfoodvalues abound and goodfoodvalues are what drive frank. he cannot be fooled by trendy styles andfoodnetwork propaganda. sweet potatoes is decent catered-type food, but a great value it is not.

this is the restaurant we can't wait to eat at everytime we visit savannah. thefoodis simply perfect - succulent, fresh, well-seasoned, and nicely presented in generous portions. this is the soulfoodyou'll dream about when you're in colder, northern climes. highly recommended!!!

birthday lunch. we just got back from the sweet potatoes kitchen and i loved it. today i had a short break from schoolwork to celebrate my birthday and it was exactly what i'd hoped for. the staff was incredibly nice and efficient, thefoodwas excellent, and there was a great atmosphere. i definitely recommend it! my fiance' loved the fish and i had the jerk chicken salad and we thought both were excellent. they had the best sweet potato fries we've ever had. the sweet potato salad was good, but it wasn't something i'd probably order again based on my preferences.

excellent! greatfoodand service. randall was nice and helpful with selections. try the corn pudding and pickled pears. you'll be amazed!!

thefoodwas so good and the service matched. please do not come to savannah without coming here. don't deprive yourself of this southern goodness and definitely don't forget the banana pudding.

featured onfoodnetwork! adam richman from "man vs food" came for the peach glazed bbq chicken, which is their famous dish. he also enjoyed their world's best banana pudding, which may very well be! i love banana pudding and you must save room for desert so you can enjoy some. my mom joined us for sunday lunch and she ordered the peach bbq chicken. i ordered the catfish which was perfect! crust with a crunch but the fish was tender as could be. for my 2 sides i picked sweet potatoe fries and brussel sprouts. the fries were much more fresh and flavorful than most sweet potatoe fries and had sprinkled sugar and salt on them to give them a good savory/sweet flavor. the brussel sprouts were mushy and i prefer mine a bit more firm in texture. my wife ordered the buffalo chicken salad which was big. it was ice berg lettuce topped with large fried chicken tenders, bacon, blue cheese and blue cheese dressing. it was not very spicy. the atmosphere is casual and very colorful inside. if you are looking for some good southernfoodthen this place is for you!

one of my favorite places for good ol southern fair! fried chicken yes, shrimp yes, and everything else including the sweet potato fries of course! it is simple and service is fantastic, warm and friendly! i recommend evergthing, this is the spot to get your fix for whayvyour feeling, just order and you will not be disappointed. price is super for all thefoodyou get. and make sure to wash it all down with an allagash on tap. . . yes!!!!

it's somewhere between a diner and mom and pop soulfoodjoint but it's seems like it wants to be a southern/soul fusion spot. foodis good, and staff is great but if you are looking for something extremely unique keep looking.

went to sweet potatoes many times while in savannah, and always loved it. amazing meatloaf and their peach bbq sauce they serve with it is great, sides vary by the day but we're always good, and nice biscuits. i have actually tried making meatloaf and my own version of the peach sauce since moving away from the area, and it's good, but if i'm back in savannah i will be there for lunch, and am willing to wait, as it can be crowded, i guess having greatfoodcan make that happen.

definitely not what you would expect from the outside. thefoodwas okay..nothing really special. the sweet potato mash was delicious! but everything else was just okay my opinion. our waitress was so sweet. i tried the banana pudding which is supposed to be amazing but it wasn't anything to rave about. they had a lot of sides that sounded good. maybe the veggie plate which is 4 sides would be a good choice!

terrible service!!!!. a young lady helped me with my togo order. her name was different. i cant remember tarane maybe. anyways, she was rude, not vry attentive at all. asked the vood looking fella next to me she could get him something to drink while he waited but didnt offer me anything. myfoodwas cold. (assuming it sat in the box for a while before she bagged it up for me). my family and i will not be returning.

average food, nice ambiance. i wish there was a so-so button. the restaurant itself is a cute establishment. thefoodwas overrated in my opinion. i had the peach glazed chicken with cabbage and sweet potatoes. everything was just ok. a place with the name of sweet potatoes should have the bomb sweet potatoes. i could've made this dish 10x better at home. so disappointed.

fantastic. if you're looking for some great southern and soulfoodoutside of the main tourist areas in savannah, sweet potatoes kitchen is great! i loved the catfish with tomato relish, extra seasonings gave it a unique flavor. sides of black eyed peas and corn pudding were surprisingly flavorful and my biscuit was delicious. the sweet tea was weak and not to my liking but didn't detract from the meal.

the ambiance was a quirky mish-miash. brightly lit with bright colors, half the restaurant is finished in hardwood floors and decorations on the wall that reflect southern charm, the other half has an old linoleum tile that elicits a feeling of being in a gas station.

service was very good, plenty of attention was given by the hostesses and servers, though delivery of thefoodwas slow, 15+ minutes on an evening when the restaurant wasn't half full.

overall, though, greatfoodat a very reasonable price! probably not the place for you if you're looking for a romantic dinner out, but if we want a tasty meal in a casual setting, get yourself to sweet potatoes kitchen.

never again. hello, 

this doesn't even earn one star!
i personally have been coming to sweet potatoes for the past 8 years and have had nothing but a positive experience; however, i will never support this establishment ever again! i spoke to a manager about our annual chatham county deaf and hard of hearing thanksgiving feast. i was looking for a place to host our gathering and i thought to myself what better place to have it! thefoodand service is perfect! well, things started off great. he was enthusiastic to have us and we have been in contact for about 4 or 5 business days and made plans and set prices, and when i told him we would be there from 11 to about 1:30, he decided to let me know that he would no longer host us because they would lose business!!!!!!! not only was i shocked and appalled, he didn’t let me say anything and actually hung up on me without saying goodbye. bad choice mister! not only was it not professional, it was heart wrenching when the students got so excited about the thought of having their 20th annual thanksgiving feast at sweet potatoes a restaurant i brag about every time i go there, just for me to turn around and say that we have been dismissed. sweet potatoes, you have lost the business of over 50 upset patrons, with which i am sure there will be more to follow.

not worth it. i was very disappointed. myfoodwas lukewarm. the pork chop had no flavor. they were out of biscuits. i will not eat there again,
