Paula Deen's is an excellent southern food served family-style, which means dishes come out in large bowls and each guest fills their own plate. The menu is a set fee per person depending on how many meats and sides you choose to have at your table. Paula Deen's is located in The Island and does offer an online waitlist. It's great that there are many options for shopping/activities in The Island to keep everyone entertained while you wait for your table.

Restaurant Reservations
Many people ask about making restaurant reservations in advance. It's helpful to know that there are only a few restaurants that take reservations ahead of time. However, there are lots of options for putting your name on an online wait list, where you will receive a text message when your table is ready. You can find out if specific restaurants have online waitlists by visiting their individual websites.
