My wife and i recently dined at your Inn and we were absolutely blown away by the wonderful food and employees you have working there. Service was awesome but the food was so reminiscent of what our Grandmother's used to make, it took us back in time to those good times we shared with them.

I mentioned that my wife and I were on her Food Network Tour vacation (it's what I kidded my wife about) to a very nice African-American woman who was our hostess that evening and she asked that we let you know how your Inn stacked up against The Lady & Sons (Paula Deen's restaurant in Savannah) as we mentioned we were planning on eating there as well.

In my humble opinion, I believe I enjoyed your food better than at Paula's place in Savannah. Both were good but yours had that something extra that made it a hit with me. My wife was torn between both places as she said both were equally good but we certainly agreed that the experience at the Blue Willow Inn was one we'd like to repeat.

We traveled from Leeds, Alabama and stayed at Pierre and Dina's Rutledge Inn when we visited so we'll most likely want to repeat this visit again real soon as both experiences were memorable!

We had a most delicious and appetizing meal at the Blue Willow on Thursday evening, September 27. The atmosphere was great, the food was great, and the hospitality shown us by all the staff members was outstanding. You truly depict the Southern Cuisine& and the Southern Hospitality that the south is known for. Again, thanks for a wonderful evening out!!

Thank you for making my son's day so special. He proposed to his girlfriend on the bridge by the gift shop. I bought a blue hankie for her wedding in the gift shop. The pictures I took turned out beautiful. My waitress brought me a fresh clean place-mat and napkin for my scrapbook. You staff was wonderful to us. True Southern hospitality!! God bless you!
