Sweet Potatoes–The Traditional “Slap Yo Mama” Good

IMG_1194IMG_1195IMG_1193
Savannah can boast of a myriad of great dining places.  Some are large scale and well known and others are in places you wouldn’t expect to find.  Sweet Potatoes is one of those unprepossessing locations.  Situated in a tiny strip center next to a gas station at Waters & Eisenhower, Sweet Potatoes is like an oasis in the desert.  It’s a place you never knew you always wanted to eat in.  For people who visit Savannah, Sweet Potatoes offers an opportunity to experience southern cuisine at its finest.  For an average cost of $15 or less, you can try the peach glazed BBQ chicken, meat loaf, catfish, pot roast, or a number of other entrees.  Sides range from every conceivable type of sweet potato dish; green beans with garlic, onions, and bacon; corn pudding; and much more.  The biscuits are light and fluffy.  And, as touted In a Travel Channel Man Versus Food clip, Sweet Potatoes is heralded as having the world’s best banana pudding.  It may not beat my grandmother’s recipe, but I guarantee it will be a close second!

  1. You are so right. The banana pudding is excellent - the next best thing to grandma's - so the best I've had as an adult. If I remember correctly, Sweet Potatoes has an excellent beef stew, and nowhere else that I can think of offers sliced tomatoes as a side dish, which I absolutely love.
