Of course we did make some time to try out a few top recommended places to eat:)
We had been told that Lady and Sons (Paula Dean's) was good but not worth the hype. We had been told that Mrs Wilkes was much better. Mrs Wilkes is only open M-F from 11-2. We decided to try it on Friday and we didn't eat breakfast so we could be plenty hungry. We got there at 11:30 and the line was already half way around the block. We decided to try again on Monday when it wasn't a holiday.
Saturday we gave Lady and Sons a try just so we could decide for ourselves what we thought. Again we didn't eat breakfast. I can say at Lady and Sons my first sip of the sweet tea won me over! :) The food was totally fantastic to me. I salt all of my food (sad but true and a lot of times it probably doesn't need it but I just do). They didn't have salt on the table and I was a little concerned:) I can say though that none of the food needed it! Truly wonderful! I was stuffed!! I didn't eat supper and I wasn't even hungry the next morning:)
Sunday we didn't eat as heavy:) Had to save up for Monday. So we got to Mrs Wilkes at 10:45 and there was already a line but not as long. We just did miss the first sitting but we were in by 11:30. I wasn't sure what to expect. You walk in and it is a table for 12 and there is food all over the table. It is family style. There was every food you could think of ...overwhelming! So we started passing and we would get a spoon of everything so you could get a sample of all of it. It was really good food as well. We left there very full again!!
So our vote....they are both great! They are both different. I actually preferred Lady and Sons food. (Jason did too I think). So I would hesitate telling visitors to choose one over the other....you have to try both at some point:)
