Guyton, GA is a a Savannah suburb located about 30 minutes west of the city. Many professionals who work at Gulfstream, Georgia Ports, Effingham Health System, and Fort Howard select Guyton due to location and charm. Driving into this one-traffic light town is like stepping back through time. Guyton has a “Mayberry RFD” appeal. While there are opportunities for new construction, the majority of the residential structures are interesting Victorian style homes.
One of these Victorian homes has been transformed into what I consider the best lunch spot in town, Beulah’s Coffee House and Consignments. Don’t let the name fool you. You can get a lot more than coffee in this restaurant, tucked away on a little side street at 407 Church Street. In fact, the unique salads and paninis could rival anything that Savannah has to offer. The menu variety includes a wide variety of seafood, beef, and chicken dishes as well. Your food could likely be prepared by proprietress, Maria Simmons.
Beulah’s is one of those places you’re always looking for off the beaten path. Of course, to the locals, the restaurant is a hub of town activity. It’s open Monday through Thursday (and Saturday) from 8a – 3p. Friday’s hours extend to 10p, during which you might be able to enjoy live entertainment from local musicians. During any given week, patrons might include a Bible study group, wedding or birthday party, local club, or random straggler like me.
Not only is the food terrific, but the restaurant also offers a gallery of art and consignment items. So, grab a bite to eat, do a little shopping, and enjoy a Victorian home decked out with all the period furnishings.
Makes me want to come try this charming restaurant. Next time I am in Savannah n I will check it out.
