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 poor food values abound and good food values are what drive frank. he cannot be fooled by trendy styles and food network propaganda. sweetpotatoesis decent catered-type food, but a great value it is not.

birthday lunch. we just got back from the sweetpotatoeskitchen 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, the food was 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.

very nice place with great food. i first went to sweetpotatoeswith a co-worker that had read about it. we were not let down. some very interesting and delicious food. a definite have to go to when in town. you will enjoy it.

went to sweetpotatoesmany 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 great food can make that happen.

average food, nice ambiance. i wish there was a so-so button. the restaurant itself is a cute establishment. the food was 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 sweetpotatoesshould 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 soul food outside of the main tourist areas in savannah, sweetpotatoeskitchen 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 the food was slow, 15+ minutes on an evening when the restaurant wasn't half full.

overall, though, great food at 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 sweetpotatoeskitchen.

never again. hello, 

this doesn't even earn one star!
i personally have been coming to sweetpotatoesfor 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! the food and 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 sweetpotatoesa 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.

i give sweetpotatoesan "ok." the flavors in everything i had just didn't quite work. their "world-famous banana pudding" is made with powdered mix. i was disappointed after the other reviews i read.

amazing gem! sweetpotatoesdoesn't look like much from the outside - it's in a tiny strip mall on the edge of town, next to an insurance place or something. you almost wouldn't notice it. but i hope you do, because this place is just amazing. i saw some reviews and suggested to my family when we were all visiting savannah. we're a big group and we love good food, and all of us left happy! everyone ordered something different - pot roast, pot pie, tilapia, barbecue chicken, meatloaf... nothing disappointed! the pot roast especially was a very big hit. it was incredibly tender and so flavorful! only a few of us had room for dessert, and the banana pudding was absolutely divine. on top of all that, the service was spectacular - our server was funny and very attentive, a really nice guy. could not recommend this restaurant more!

now that was good food!. our family of 9 plus our brand new grandson ate at sweetpotatoeskitchen last night. josh was our server and took great care of us, going out of his way to make all of feel very welcomed and at home - even bebe j. the catfish was perfect, both the fried and blackened. the pot roast melted in our mouths. the jerk pork was delectable. the sirloin with blue cheese was excellent. we passed forks full of food up and down the table. and yes... the banana pudding might be the best on earth - surprisingly bringing some competition to mama's banana pudding at rico's in buford.

great lunch. they have a consistent menu and one that changes with specials. someone told me to get the fried chicken if they offered it so i did. i learned not all fried chicken and sweetpotatoesare created equal. the chicken was crisp and juicy and the sweet potato was just...fantastic. i can't go more in depth since i was a little congested and couldn't get the full flavor experience but i loved what i could taste of their peach chicken and banana pudding.

their chocolate pecan pie was beyond heavenly. it was a great warm and chocolately end to our meal. if your only experience with pecan pie is the hard, cold stuff, you need to try this one.

worth the trip!. as a visitor to savannah, you pick and choose your restaurant meals carefully. with only a few days in town, you plan in order to hit the places that are really special, where the locals eat on a regular basis, not just the "name" restaurants. when you're staying in the heart of the historic district, it takes some maneuvering to get to sweet potatoes. when we got here and found out the food network had been here, i was almost afraid i had chosen a "destination" by mistake. while i enjoy the food network, when they feature a restaurant sometimes it can spoil it. we were not disappointed in the least, however. the food was fantastic! just what we were expecting from the reviews--really good home cooking, reasonable prices, good portions. the cornmeal catfish was exceptional, my husband's gumbo was some of the best he's had, even beating new orleans versions. great flavoring with all the dishes without being overly salty. all the sides were delicious, just the biscuit was passable (slightly dry). we passed on the featured banana pudding but sweetpotatoesis not to be missed if you're in savannah and want some good cooking without fuss.

one of the top five restauraunts in savannah!. i love this place. if you want really excellent southern food, go to sweetpotatoeskitchen -- don't even think about going to paula deen's lady and sons. always some sort of sweet potato on the menu, biscuits are to kill for, so many selections of sides -- you'll definitely find something you want. i have never had anything bad here, an i have eaten here many, many times. there are daily specials and daily sides and vegetables along with their regular menu. try the corn pudding. it's awesome. and the fried chicken, the pecan-crusted trout i had as a special a few months back, the pork loin -- all excellent. and absolutely perfect sweet tea. the price is right, too.

my favorite southern restaurant. the real southern food is made in a healthy way, but tastes wonderful, and at a very reasonable price. we had to return again before we left the south. i loved the catfish, lemon collards and the fried okra. i'd always hated okra before this. many types of sweet potato dishes rotate on the menu. the banana sweetpotatoeswere excellent.

southern, homestyle cookin'. once you've conquered the slight partking problem at sweetpotatoeskitchen, you'll walk into a clean, pleasant dining room offering a homey environment and appropriate decor. check out their daily specials... we have been there a number of times, and haven't made it to the main menu yet. their specials are excellent. my favorite is the pot roast. each entre and side item is prepared as though it is a special dish just for you. great biscuits, too! you'll have to ask for the honey. servers are friendly and accurate. it's relatively quiet.... not enough noise to stiffle conversation. and you don't even have to like to eat sweet potatoes. i don't.
