Mrs. Wilkes' Dining Room is a restaurant offering Southern (United States) home cooking in Savannah, Georgia. The restaurant was run for several decades by Sema Wilkes, from 1943 until her death in 2002 at age 95. Her family continues to run the restaurant today.

Mrs. Wilkes' is noted for its homestyle traditions, in which guests are escorted in shifts of 10 into the dining room, where a variety of dishes are freshly laid on one of several tables (there is no menu; dishes are selected by the restaurant and change daily). The guests sit at the table and pass the dishes around to one another in the manner of a civilized family. There are usually long lines waiting to get in.
