Open 11:00am until 2:00pm five days a week with a line starting as early as 9:00am whether rain, shine, or humidity and ninety-five degree temperatures making patrons feel as though they’d been rained on Mrs. Wilkes’ Dining Room is truly an institution, the historic boardinghouse feeding locals and tourists for nearly eighty years…and on the day of my visit feeding The Real Housewives of Atlanta who were allowed to skip the line while myself and a hundred others waited ninety minutes in the August sun, much to the dismay of the locals in front of me who still waited, despite having been to Mrs. Wilkes’ greater than two dozen times – as great a testament as I needed to stay in line for the $18 family style meal with more than a dozen sides, four main proteins, and two desserts of exemplary quality and an experience I won’t soon forget.
