I would just to be sure you get in...I saw quite a few tourists that had limited time and were very disappointed when they couldn't get right in.

Do have to sign up the same day or can you sign up one day and go the next day.

I think that you can make reservations the prior day, but I'm not certain.
The woman handling them was IMO rude and clearly enjoying her authority...it was amusing to watch her sadistic delight in telling distraught tourists that they would have to return in 3 hours.

If she is rude to me I'll tell what she can do with her restaurant. I'm sure another restaurant would be glad to get our business.

If you 'just' want Southern/family style food then Mrs. Wilkes' is an alternative.

Go Here>>>
Mrs. Wilkes' Dining Room

Once you are inside 'The Lady and Sons' I'm certain Paula would not be rude--or there wouldn't be lines at the door.

The seafood is good and that is what I want when I go to Savannah.

Other posters may have some good recommendations.

'Paula' will be nowhere in sight, I'm quite sure

Mrs Wilkes looks like a great place, thanks.

I thought someone said Paula circulates through the rooms greeting guests.

Maybe there is a schedule. I wouldn't be going there, having seen/heard more than enough about the food.

I think her brother owns 'Uncle Bubba's' on Wilmington Island and I would be more inclined to go there--if there isn't a line.

People used to like to go to Spanky's--on River Street and also on Tybee Island--maybe several other locations.

Paula turned over management to her sons years ago, but I don't think they're on the premises much, either. She films her Paula's Party show at her brother's restaurant.
As far as Uncle Bubba's goes, it's better than average, but not extraordinary IMO.
Spanky's has two locations in Brunswick, also; one on Hwy 17 by the marsh, the other out at Colonial Place Mall.
