What Beaver House Is Saying About Itself... We prepare a simple traditional Sunday Dinner twice a day. Our menu varies daily except for a few staples that made us famous. If you have ever had a peaceful Sunday dinner at your grandparents, you get the idea. Southern Fried Chicken prepared by hand which has nine pieces not eight. Scratch Biscuits prepared every morning with cream never water or milk. Black eyed peas over rice with a spoonful of pickle relish and chipped vidalia onion. A variety of vegetables and casseroles served in bowls and platters for you to fuss over. Requests for “seconds” are always considered a compliment. Sweet Tea is customary... Other beverages available upon request... if you dare.

Beaver House
The Beaver House offers a unique restaurant experience. The family style restaurant was modeled after the Mrs. Wilkes restaurant in Savannah and is actually one of the few remaining boarding house style restaurants in the state.
This grand, multi-story mansion on Statesboro’s Main Street opposite the public library was built in 1911. Twenty years ago, the Beaver family turned the first two floors into a restaurant emphasizing southern dishes with boarding-house-style dining. It’s a success!
Diners sit in one of the spacious rooms and are served bowls of delicious, hot food by waitresses. The luncheon and dinner feature two meats, always one of them fried chicken, and five sides such as rice and gravy, black-eyed peas, green beans, okra, broccoli, mashed potatoes (freshly cut, not from a box), etc. You can get refills but most folks will find themselves filled up. Desserts are available including a fabulous chocolate hot fudge brownie with vanilla ice cream. This is not the place to count calories. A limited selection of beer and wine is offered along with, of course, sweet tea. It’s almost unbearably Southern atmosphere, but it’s never overdone. The family oversees everything, and they are happy to talk about the house’s remarkable history. The food is very fine; that fried chicken is just crispy enough and moist. Parking is free behind the house. And if for some season you don’t want the buffet, there’s a separate menu with items ranging from soups and salads to entrees. It’s well worth a trip here, even if it’s a bit out of the way.
