Marked as open on Google but it's closed. Edit: +1 star because this has been added to their website. That doesn't fix the fact that it says they are open on Google though. I'm sure the food is good!

Drove 7 hours plus to eat there & they were closed for the month of September. Was so disappointed...

I’m sure the food MiGHT have been wonderful, but who knows?? The website said it was open from 11-2. BUT after walking from River Street to the restaurant we discovered it was closed until September 26. The closed sign was on a side door, not visible from the street, and NOT on their website. It would have been nice for someone to have taken the time to post that tidbit of information!

Deborah Roberts | Sep 24, 2018
Sharon Bush | Sep 24, 2018

It cost $22 per person cash only. In order to sit together tell the guy who opens the door that you have a party at 12 and you all would like to sit together. He has always been accommodating to my group.

Can you get food ala carte if on a special diet

Ava Hefty | Sep 24, 2018
Michael Scott | Sep 24, 2018

No, there is no menu at Mrs. Wilks , it is like going to a family dinner, there are plenty of offerings to please any taste, and they do ask if you have diatary needs, and attempt to meet them. It is a unique dining experience well worth going to no matter what your diet is!!!

Is this a good place to bring my wife for our 10th anniversary

Randy Edwards | Sep 23, 2020
John Foster | Sep 23, 2020

Yes, it is a great experience! You will be seated with those you are standing in line with. When we were waiting we found out the guy next to us, happened to work for the same small school as I did just a few years apart many decades back. Weirdest coincidence between people living on opposites sides of the country that just happened to be waiting in the same line together. Now if either of you arent happy to stand in line for 2.5 hours... Then maybe this isnt for you:)

They will seat at any table with an open seat. The best time to go is around 1 pm on a Monday or Tuesday. The line kind of dies down early on those days. Hope this helps.

What about gluten free things to eat?

Mitchell Parham | Sep 24, 2018
Martin Cohen | Sep 24, 2018

Its Family style dining, the entire menue is delivered to your table and its up to you to make your own choices. Typically the menue is heavily weighted to southern comfort food: chicken, turkey, ham, and beef. Sides are typical southern style. I suffer with a gout diet and was very comfortable with their menue. You can inquire as to the menue at the front door before you decide to eat there. It changes daily but the variety is limited to southern comfort food, cooked in traditional style with no accommodation for restricted diets, no individually prepared meals, no special requests.
