Geneva's Famous Chicken and Cornbread Co.

The fried chicken is outstanding, but the sides steal the show: deeply flavorful collards, black-eyed peas, and surprisingly delicious broccoli. Cornbread comes with your choice of spread; the jalapeño was perfect — just enough kick without overpowering. The place is spotless (among the cleanest I've seen), thanks to DeAndre running a tight ship. Geneva's Famous Chicken is the real deal — a perfect hybrid of fast-food speed and sit-down quality (note the 2% dine-in fee). Easily worth a special trip to Savannah.

We stopped on our way through to Florida. This was the BEST fried chicken I’ve ever had!!! It was so light but full of crunch & flavor - hot all the way through and juicy! The pecan cornbread was simply delicious!! If we’re ever back in Savannah we will be certain to stop here!!

Love this place! Family owned, food made with love and care and the owners even select top notch cuts or they won’t serve it all and tell you suitable shipments haven’t come in. The fried chicken and turkey wings are my favorite go to’s. Plus, they have multiple flavors of cornbread. I like the blueberry 🥰

I really like the beautiful design of this restaurant, its very soulful and southern. I recieved prompt service while dining here but the wait for food was a bit longer than expected. But the taste of the food made up for the long wait. The food was delicious and very flavorful. I would definitely dine here again!

DeAndre and the staff of Geneva's were phenomenal!!💯🌟👍🏽 DeAndre was so attentive to the needs of our family and our food was simply delicious and perfectly seasoned. Each entree was artfully garnished and when I tell you each dish came out smoking hot and with so much attention to detail. It was a spectacular and memorable moment for our family. We're from Jacksonville, FL and we highly recommend Geneva's to anyone traveling to Savannah, GA

✨Great southern restaurant with fantastic Cornbread! Recommend the golden and buttery Fried Fish.🐠 Shrimp was also delicious.🍤 Solid lemon pepper wings. FOLLOW FOR VIDEO REVIEWS @GHSTLENS📸 TIKTOK | INSTAGRAM | YOUTUBE

Everything here is amazing! Nothing on the menu is a bad choice. The chicken, the catfish filets, salmon croquettes, fried pork chops, turkey wings, meatloaf, whatever you get you will love. The sides aren’t slouching either, all amazing! Especially those candied yams that would make me betray my grandma. Shouts out to DeAndre for his fantastic service. I’ve had this food more than once but my in-house experience was so good.

Their chicken, banana pudding, strawberry lemonade and cornbread was delicious! I would go back for these items specifically. The mashed potatoes were okay. Service wasn't the best. When I walked in, I patiently waited for a worker to greet me at the register and when someone finally came, the person attended the customer who arrived after me.

Heck yeah. This place is more than worth the stop if you're passing through Savannah and good luck if you're a local because you're about to fall in love! This place has possibly the best fried chicken I ever experienced. Shatter-crisp, thin breading hiding the juiciest meat beneath, if you poke it before you bite in, you will likely send a river of juices flowing. To put it plainly- I am on ozempic now and it obviously affects my appetite.... The ozempic is no match for this chicken that was so flawless that I managed to power through and still put down four pieces. Did I suffer later? Yes, I sure did. Did I regret it? Not at all, life needs living and this chicken is life. Skip the potato logs, it's a waste of a side option with the many other choices. Yes, obviously you need to get the cornbread too. And the "tenders" and I put that in quotes because the more appropriate name would be CUTLETs. Absolutely huge, tender beyond belief... sigh, I hate that this place is five hours away from home but in a way... I'm also relieved.

Sunday, October 12, 2025 at 6:43PM Found this gem online and figured we'd give it a shot. Was seated right away. Place is well clean. We noticed they get pretty busy especially with a lot of orders for pickup. Service by Kiera was awesome, she was real helpful with any questions or recommendations. Food was really good, we would come back next time if ever in town and try a different dish. Minus 1 star for the 2% dine in fee, idk but I don't think I've ever seen a fee to Dine in before

Customer service and speed of processing an order need dramatic improvement. The lady at the register was disengaged, did not make eye contact, and spoke quietly in the loud restaurant which was very difficult to make out what she was asking me. Another employee from a different part of the store came over and interrupted the transaction to get change for a $20 bill. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. that's unfortunate because the chicken and corn bread are so delicious. You can tell the workers don't want to be there -at least the front of house. I hope it improves because the food is very good. Wait times are approximately 20-25 minutes for a 2 or 3 piece meal with a regular side, no drink. Ambience is fine. It's pretty loud in there. I don't think you'd be able to hear the person across the table from you unless you yell. O

The fried chicken is absolutely incredible! So are the fried chicken "tenders," even though they are technically cutlets as far as I'm concerned. Regardless, the chicken was crisp, juicy, and simply phenomenal! The rest was fairly mid and skippable. Staff were nice, but much of the cornbread menu was unavailable when we went, as they had only 2 options to choose. They also had half the restaurant closed off to dining, and they only offered bottle water to drink. Not sure if that's typical, but it was our experience. The restaurant was pretty clean and vibrant too, which made for an overall nice experience!

Not to be dramatic but Geneva's fried chicken was the best fried chicken I have had in my entire life! I got the mac and cheese and blueberry cornbread. Incredible! My son had oxtail which he said was the best he ever had too. This restaurant is at an unassuming location in a shopping center. It was so well decorated, organized and delicious we thought this might be a chain, but it is somehow the only one! Highly recommend! Oh! And not shown was banana pudding we got to go! Also delish!

Best fried chicken I've ever had! The sides were fabulous! Had the meatloaf and white gravy special...very good! Squash casserole was a first for me...loved it. The Mixed greens weee outstanding too. The cornbread was good it didn't even need butter, but the pecan butter was delicious. Bonus...our server was delightful and helped us choose a great assortment to try as first-timers.

Tucked in a strip mall, this place is worth the wait. Delicious fried chicken. Delicate, plump & juicy fried shrimp. Shrimp sauce was good with it. Potato logs are essentially steak fries, but good. The guy next to us got sweet potatoes and next time, I'm trying those. They looked really good. Service was good. Cornbread is the not sweet kind. Good though. We'll be back next time we're in town!

ABSOLUTELY LOVE GENEVAS My husband and I are celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary here at Genevas for lunch straight off the highway from south Florida. Genevas is our first stop in Savannah always, period. The owners, Geneva and Kenny are an absolute gem to this community I'm so sad that they are not in Florida! Nothing compares to this I'm sorry. The chefs in the back know how to cook and season the chicken to perfection I've never had a bad experience and we come a couple times a year and every time we come it's like we were here just last week the hospitality is top notch. The chicken is cooked FRESH to order so yes it may take longer but it is out of this world. I can eat a three piece like it's no one's business the broccoli Apple slaw is my fav and go to but they have many other great side hard to chose

If you're in the mood for traditional southern food, this is the place! Located by Target, the restaurant is tucked in the strip mall with the super cool mural. Dine-in or order at the counter to-go. I recommend starting with the zucchini, super delish! It comes with a salsa dip - odd but good! The fried chicken is hot and crispy. The 2 piece meal is more than enough for me. It comes with your choice of white or dark meat chicken, a side and mini cornbread loaf. There's a long list of sides to choose from -- many are southern classics. As for the mini loafs, they have a handful of flavors to choose from (jalapeño, transitional, pecan, broccoli, etc).

A cute location in a strip mall, it hits the spot at surprisingly good prices. A little bit of everything for everyone.

At one time, Geneva's was the place for me. NOT ANYMORE! You see, the food of all things was worth the price. Now, it is not worth it. The food is tasteless and expensive. Service has no value and meaning. I say, they have lost their way. Don't go there anymore.

Be prepared to wait, but the wait is worth it. Everything we had was so good: chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, black bean salad, and the cornbread! We waited for 40 minutes after we ordered, every table was packed and there was a line for pick up orders. Clearly this place is loved!

Paid a visit to this place while on a road trip from GA to FL. Excellent customer service and vibe! Food wise, I really enjoyed the chicken and sides...not so much the turkey wings. Was looking for more flavor. Otherwise, it was a great experience :)

Worth Every Mile for Soul Food That Hits the Heart and the Soul While my husband was staying downtown in the historic River Street area, we had one craving: real, authentic soul food. And honey, Geneva's Famous Chicken more than delivered. We drove 20 minutes and I'd drive two hours if I had to. It's that good. Let's start with the fried chicken golden, crispy, seasoned to perfection, and juicy all the way through. The collard greens were tender and flavorful, the cornbread was just the right amount of sweet, and the oxtails with gravy, Fall-off-the-bone tender. And just when we thought we couldn't eat another bite... the desserts arrived. That Key Lime Pound Cake deserves its own spotlight, sweet and moist, and hands-down one of the best desserts I've had in the South. It truly set the standard. Geneva's isn't just a meal, it's an experience, it's comfort, and it's love on a plate. If you're in Savannah and craving soul food this is the spot.

Took a quick trip to Savannah for the weekend. This was hands down the best food we had while in Savannah and it wasn't even a fancy restaurant. They serve great southern style comfort foods. For two meals the price was only a fraction of the price we paid every where else. Service was great, and everything was well seasoned. I love supporting family owned restaurants. I would absolutely go back.

I know that I came in at 1:20 with many people ahead of me. It was busy. The place was full . I ordered by 1:24 and it is now 2:02 and my number was just called. I ordered a 2 piece roasted chicken and potato logs. It tasted good and it was warm. Not sure if is worth a 40 minute wait. I will reconsider coming here at late lunchtime.

Stop here if you want the BEST fried chicken spot.. I try fried chicken at any restaurant that serves it. I have tried all the fried chicken places in Savannah. I had another top favorite. Y'all just took it!!!! The service was amazing the serving sizes were perfection ,The food was piping hot, which is very important to me. I can't wait to make you my new weekly spot. I'm gonna need a side of stretchy pants. Thank you for having us !

Stopped in on vacation towards the end of December 2024. My family and I were craving friend chicken. After reading a lot of reviews, we landed on Geneva's. We would all say with absolutely certainty we picked correctly. The chicken was perfectly crispy without feeling completely oil drenched. The sides were delicious and a perfect addition to the meal. I myself got the turkey leg special, of course everyone tried and loved. My only complaint is that we don't have one in my home town!

Found this gem on Yelp while visiting Savannah! When I say food that will make you feel like grandma cooked it. My God! I will drive the 2 hours to enjoy this m

We got this on the way out! Never would have seen it in this strip mall location but was a great hidden gem, then come to find out that they have been cooking that amazing chicken for 30 years! Services was great. He came back several times to refill drinks while we were waiting for the chicken, does take a while because they are truly cooking that chicken fresh. Not a huge fan of all those spreads because they were frozen but that cornbread was amazing! Super cute decor that was very modern farmhouse.

Plenty of parking! Friendly greeting as soon as you walk in! The place is CLEAN...even the restroom, which is a big deal nowadays. Let's talk about the people and the food. #1 ANGEL was our server. Her personality was just as her name suggests. Super friendly, attentive, and patient. True southern hospitality. Thank you, Angel!!! #2 The food. We were a party of 11, so we got to try some of EVERYTHING. This place did not miss. Just check the pictures for yourself. Personally, i got oxtails, rice, green beans, and yams. Each meal came with a loaf of bread, where you could not only choose the loaf, but you could also choose the spread! I had a blueberry loaf with regular butter. All i needed was a pillow after I was finished. And all of the food was reasonably priced. Worth every penny!!! For drinks, try an Arnold Palmer or a Strawberry Lemonade. Ms. Geneva's daughter, Crystal, came out to greet us. She talked with us for a few minutes and was so pleasant. God bless this establishment on current and future endeavors.

Parking Parking is abundant, it's in a strip mall. Restaurant Upon entering the restaurant we were promptly greeted by a nice gentleman. He was very welcoming. The restaurant was very clean,100 score, and tastefully decorated. I ordered a two piece and one side. I don't ever order a fried breast because they are always dry. OMG, when I say this breast was moist, it was to die for. The broccoli apple saw was amazing. We also ordered a fried turkey wing. Ok, this wing was just amazing. The food here is just simply amazing. We will return when back in Savannah.

We had just finished up a 5 star Bonaventure Cemetery tour with Genteel & Bard's. Ashley, an AMAZING GUIDE AND EDUCATOR, inquired after the tour if we had lunch plans. She graciously shared a new dining gem that she stated "as unbelievably good". Geneva's Famous Chicken and Cornbread is that must try place. It appears to be fairly new and ultra clean. On Saturday afternoon, it was busy. We were skeptical as we waited to order, but thrilled we followed Ashley's advice. I ordered three pieces of fried chicken with a side of green beans. My cornbread was blueberry with blueberry butter. My wife ordered chicken fingers and selected the broccoli/ apple slaw side and jalapeno cornbread. Our order took about 20 minutes but we quickly realized, don't mess with the chef. The chicken arrived piping hot. Geneva's cooks to order and does not warmed up partially cooked chicken. After the first bite, we understood our guides love for this place. The breading on the chicken was scrumptious, crispy, lightly salted and just DAMN GOOD. The sides complimented the chicken well. The amount of staff working here is huge. The older staff is working hard and staying busy. Two of the younger males were hanging out at the backdoor and chewing the fat during our entire meal. I wanted to ask about the history or story of Geneva's but could not get our young waiter to leave the back and engage us. This place is a gem and the owner needs to be applauded for taking a chance on a dream and more importantly, cooking great chicken. If we lived in the area, I would be telling everyone about the GREAT CHICKEN. Please keep up the drive and ambition with a stellar quality food and employing so many people. GREAT JOB AND FABULOUS FOOD!

Food was amazing! We all got a type of fried chicken (wings, sandwich, and fry bird.) Mac n cheese is flavorful. Green beans and mashed potatoes have that classic, southern home cooked flavor. Yams are perfectly sweet. Server was very attentive. We will definitely be returning!

My cajun turkey wings was tuff and not flavorful, however, it was temperature hot. Each time I visit here I have always ordered the turkey cajun wings,it just wasn't the best on this day. I asked for the premium sides upgrade, perhaps my waitress didn't hear me because the sides looked like regular sides. If you're dining inside and ask for a to go boxes, you might as well carry your food in your hands. I noticed they had decent size boxes for the to go orders. I will go back and try it again, I think it just probably was a bad day. The waitress wasn't that friendly, perhaps she was exhausted, I'm unsure. I think the next time, I will make a to go order. If you decide to dine inside, perhaps go during the early lunch hour may be best timing.

This is the second time within two weeks that I have been to Geneva and I ordered crabcakes macaroni, fried shrimp, and all of those were nasty. The crabcakes were sour and mushy in the middle. The shrimp was dried and old was definitely not fresh and the macaroni taste like kids made it just nasty.

I like to think I'm pretty easy going, but I was decided not happy with the service and attitude that we received from the staff here at Geneva's Famous. Tip: Even putting aside the poor service and attitude, the food we were served was undercooked and largely tasteless To add insult to injury, the staff seems to be downright rude - our server got upset when we weren't ready to order right away, and they rushed us to make up our minds - is that what people pay to go to restaurants for!? I might go back and give these folks another try down the road, but for right now I'm through with this place...

BEST FRIED CHICKEN IN GEORGIA! There was no way we could visit Savannah and not go back to Geneva's. The food is incredible, the service is great, and with the new expansion it's even more spacious and comfortable. Great conversations at the tables with other patrons and the staff, offset by this delicious food and you've got a win/win!

Local fried chicken spot in Savannah. Searching a really good spot in Savannah I saw really good reviews for this place and decided to check it out. It looks small on the outside, but on the inside seating is quite huge and decorated nicely. However I was disappointed in how long it took me to get my to go order. Service isn't fast for a really popular chicken spot. But the wait was worth it because the chicken is delicious and the different cornbreads are worth trying!

The JUICIEST chicken I've ever had! Crispy, crunchy on the outside and super moist on the inside. Cornbread and green beans were out of this world. The owner is also a very kind person based on our interaction with him. 10/10 you gotta try this place out.

I have enjoyed everything that I have at this fine restaurant. It's not fast food so remember it's being cooked from scratch. The fried chicken is simply the best I have ever tasted. The sides are wonderful and especially the sweet potatoes and cornbread. If you have not tried Genevas, you should as soon as possible.

The Food is Amazing. Great Ambience. Great Customer Service. Our server Deandre was so hospitable. Arnold Palmers and Strawberry Lemonade were perfect. Fried chicken was amazing. Greens, cabbage, Mac n chz, cornbread, Po Boy, Country chicken with gravy, All the food was a Perfect 10. We will be back!!

So happy to have tried this spot when visiting Savannah for the 4th. My husband and I ordered fried chicken, a fried turkey wing, Mac and cheese, greens, potatoes logs, corn bread, a sweet tea, strawberry lemonade and banana pudding. Everything was absolutely delicious and when I say everything I mean it. This cute spot is a gem for southern food. Our waitress was absolutely lovely and the rest of the staff had wonderful customer service as well. Please take the time to venture over to this place for a meal.

Excellent location in a shopping center, so lots of parking. Warm welcome and very cordial service. Food was delicious and meals arrived quickly. We had crab cakes. The sides were so tasty! The cornbread is legendary! My companion usually doesn't eat a whole meal, but she ate every bite! And we got cake to go!! I would recommend this restaurant to everyone--although it was very popular already--not crowded, but nicely full, both inside and outside.

Geneva's was a yelp find. Located in a strip mall near target and home depot. Service was tepid as the hostess seemed more interested in a conversation with a co-worker than helping seat customers. Waiter was great. Very attentive. Food was very good but a little slow to come out of the kitchen. I had fried chicken which was freshly fried and very crispy with a lite batter. Mac and cheese was 5 stars. Great cheesiness and flavor. Green beans were ok and badly needed seasoning. Mixed greens were ok and too salty. Restaurant ambiance is sort of industrial meets southern. Not too much character.

Cute little place. Love how clean it is and welcoming. But our server Jaiden was great!! Came here due to all the review but I have to say I left a bit disappointed. The chicken was good but a bit over cooked and dry. The seasoning and flavor was great! Would not recommend the potato logs. I wish they were crispier. The seasoning is good but definitely needs salt! Not a fan of the jalapeño cornbread.

Warm welcome upon entry. Professional and courteous service from staff. The food oh my the food! My mom cooked liked this most days and my family and I were raised on SOUL food. This was delicious. As close to moms as ever. I had fried chicken, cabbage, slaw, jalapeño cornbread and carrot cake. We're list mom about 2 years ago and the memories revoked by this food brought joyful tears to my eyes. Thanks to Ms. Geneva and staff for the awesome experience.

Good food. I the service was friendly with a very comfortable atmosphere. I highly recommend this restaurant.

We decided to stop in and give it a try after hearing a family member rave about it. We were not disappointed! The first thing was walking in the door and being greeted buy the entire staff. We were overwhelmed by all the menu had to offer. Since we were pressed for time we grabbed someone the fried chicken. Louisiana rice and greens. The chicken is fresh and crispy and beautifully seasoned.we will be back

Excellent food and service, will go back again. So many great options with cornbread, sides, chicken and desserts

A friend took me here after I told her I wanted some good fried chicken. They had plenty of options on the menu the staff were very friendly and service was fast. I told our waiter that it was my first visit and he said "You"ll be back" and offered suggestions.He was right I will definitely be back everything was amazing! The table next to us also offered great conversation. The restaurant itself is light and airy not too big not too small, but the perfect ambiance. I could tell that Geneva's have a lot of regulars their call in orders were crazy so much so I asked when they were opening their second location and I was given an approximate date and location. I love this for them. Check it out you will not be disappointed.

Yassssssss If you want soul food this is the place. My family and i ate here numerous times and no complaints. Have not been since up grade but I know the food is amazing

This place is absolutely divine. I mean you didn't need me to tell you how good the award-winning fried chicken and cornbread so I'll tell you about the service. That wholesome southern hospitality is top-tier. Our waitress was always on top it...and we had a large party with screaming kids. I can't rave enough about this place. Must stop in Savannah

Best fried chicken I have ever had,,, crispy on the outside and very soft and moist in the inside, collard greens a little salty for me but I came for the chicken. I'd recommend this to everyone who loves fried chicken.

So, while the picture may not show it one thing I don't do is lie on these reviews. The same guy who took the orders ahead of our table and walked away in my previous review was at the counter again. Geneva's was packed on a Sunday around 4pm like I knew they would be, so I opted for a slice of pound cake to go. While in the car I open the box, take my picture and then discover that there's a hair baked into the pound cake. I took it back in and told him, he said, "whose hair?" I told home I don't know his staff but it's baked into the pound cake. He didn't apologize and almost looked at me like it was my fault. I reluctantly switched to the replacement red velvet because there was no way I was getting another slice of pound cake. While the red velvet did have a good flavor, it was dry and not memorable. In my opinion the guy whose probably usually at the counter would be better off cleaning the bathrooms and taking out the trash because customer service is clearly not his area of expertise.

The restaurant advertised the lunch special for 14.99, but charge you an extra .75 cents for vegetables. Bad Business .

Rude staff. Walked in at 7 (website says they close at 7:30) and the young girls turned us away and said take out only, no inside dining. In reality it seemed like they had a mostly empty space and didn't want to deal with a customer near the end of the night

Mediocre asf. Go to Zaby's save your money live better.. free game Bland food. Not flavorful at all but the customer service is immaculate

Great food and service. Best fried chicken and collard greens around. Our go to every time we are in town. Service was outstanding.
