Mrs. Wilkes in Savannah??

 I recently visited Savannah, Georgia for the first time, and I must say
 that lunch at Mrs. Wilkes' Boarding House was a highlight of the trip.
 We waited outside on the sidewalk for almost an hour to be seated at one
 of 6 big tables of 10 for a low country feast served family style.  You
 end up seated with the folks you stood in line with, and you're no
 longer strangers after the waiting. It was a cultural experience I've
 never experienced before. And the food was great! After taking my dishes
 to the kitchen, I bought a cookbook, and Mrs. Wilkes signed it in
 person.

 Has anyone out there been there before?  If so, has it changed much
 since you were there. I understand Mrs. Wilkes is an institution.
