Today we stopped into B&J's for lunch. I had the shrimp and my husband and son both had the buffet. There was fried fish and fried chicken on the buffet along with green beans, cabbage, Mac and cheese, rice, beans, biscuits etc with apple cobbler and ice cream for dessert. The shrimp here are excellent and always fresh. They do a dinner buffet on Friday and Saturday that has quite a bit of seafood on it as well as steaks, sausages, chicken etc. the dining room is just about always busy as it's a really popular place but the waitresses take good care of everyone. It is not a romantic spot or particularly good for small kids (crowded busy dining room with lots of people carrying buffet plates) but is perfect for people who want really good food at a good price and anyone who appreciated fresh shrimp. read more

I stopped here in my way to st Simon's because I ate here many times when I lived in Brunswick. I got a table quickly which was a surprise because they were very busy. I debated between shrimp and oysters and the buffet. I chose the buffet because the menu indicated there was lots of different seafood the buffet and I was hoping for some vegetables too. Big mistake. There was no oysters, no scallops and only one vegetable, green beans. There was a small salad bar, so I did have some of that. The best thing was the fried shrimp and the shrimp in the shrimp boil. The deviled crab was not good.Sigh, I paid a huge amount of money and was so disappointed. The interior has not been updated at all, which was a surprise as popular as it is. Learned a hard lesson....look at the buffet before you order it. My apology....I posted the wrong picture when I wrote this review. I was catching up on reviews and clicked the wrong one. I have deleted the picture and apologize for the error. read more

Great service, great food and very clean. It doesn't look like much from the outside but highly recommended! Huge portions and the fried food wasn't greasy at all. read more

I can't speak on nothing but the fried seafood and THAT is perfection! Had the fried shrimp on Friday then came right back on Saturday for the fried fish sandwiches. Always to go so I can't speak much on service, but no issues there. And it looks like your typical casual coastal seafood basket/buffet spot--inside and out. Ain't stinky or fishy smelling tho! read more

Batter on shrimp were mushy, potatoes and sausage had been in that water boiling for a long time. Sausage was mushy also and potatoes were yellow when cut into and tasted old.. They said that was steak on buffet but tasted like liver.. Only thing we really enjoyed was the boiled shrimp( had to add seasoning) the fried fish was good and salad bar was ok... Two buffets were right at $100.00.. Didn't even eat a plate full... read more

Great food! It's family style where you may sit with others at the same table but the service and food were great. The place is beyond casual but clean. We ordered a fried shrimp basket and a shrimp and oyster platter. The basket came with 20 plus shrimp and a bed of fries. The platter came with 20 plus of shrimp and oysters. Had okra and slaw as the sides. Okra was great; slaw was a little dry. We were passing through so we didn't take the leftovers but neither of us ate half of the meal they brought us. Overall great food and we will stop in again! read more

Best fried Georgia shrimp anywhere! Don't let the "hole in the wall" aesthetics fool you. The food is fabulous! I haven't tried the steak cause the seafood is so good. read more

Food was great, & reasonably priced. Service was also excellent. We definitely plan to come back!

Shrimp was good Georgia shrimp. $20.95 for basket, which is not terrible but when u get burnt bread and you say you want hush puppies there is an up charge of $1.50 per basket ..they were not even that good. read more

I've been coming to BJ's since I was a little girl. The food is great, they have the best service, and the experience is amazing. We always enjoy coming to eat here when we come to Darien. BJ's is a must when you come. I wish they still had their breakfast though, it was the best. read more

We got our order to go, and my husband and I shared this meal. We ordered the fried shrimp dinner, which is 1 pound of shrimp, with the fried okra and hush puppies. The shrimp are fantastic! They are a nice size, deveined and butterflied with a light breading. The okra is delicious as well. I don't eat hush puppies, but my husband said they were good. read more

We've been several times for their fried chicken buffet at lunch time and it is consistently good. I am not a huge fried chicken fan but I will happily eat their fried chicken any time. The buffet usually has some other main course options on it. If they have their shrimp and grits on there, definitely give it a try because it is TASTY!!!! read more

Now, this is a southern seafood buffet! My family and I have been coming here for a few years now. We drive from Jacksonville to eat here. The fried fish and shrimp are to die for, and the mac and cheese are among my favorites. If you want to eat the buffet, you must get there early or expect to wait a reasonable amount of time. The food is worth the wait! I dream of this place every day, and when we make the drive, my mouth waters the moment we pull into the parking lot. Can't skip it! read more

This is the second time I have eaten there. I have been pleased, and full both times. The first time we ate the lunch buffet. It was asking! I ate at least 2 plates. The second time I ate blackened shrimp, coleslaw and hush puppies. YU!! Service was quick and friendly. read more

How can I say "No" to a buffet of barbecue? I can not. I detoured off the highway to B&J's for lunch on my drive to Florida and I am pleased. A pretty good selection with fried chicken, fried pork chops, pulled pork for proteins with mashed potatoes, gravy, mac & cheese, lima beans, collard greens and biscuits for sides. I loaded up my first plate and brought it back to my table. A second plate of similar and I was stuffed. But I still had to get a tiny bit of banana pudding for dessert. Yes, there's a full menu with other stuff but I chose the buffet. Good service at clearing dirty plates and refreshing drinks. [Review 15728 overall - 414 in Georgia - 1232 of 2021.] read more

The best lunch deal. $12 includes a drink! Great fried chicken and pork. Would def go back.

Our friends were spot-on, this place has generous, delicious servings (hubby & I shared a "fried shrimp dinner", they likewise split the "ribeye dinner"). What a presentation...shrimp on a platter, mounded high, atop a pile of crispy French fries. They were delicious, not over breaded, most importantly, not overcooked Firm sweet meat & did I mention HOW MANY!? There must've been 40+ shrimp, we lost count ($30 including two side dishes). Our smart local-knowledge friends' ribeye was also ginormous, 1 1/2" thick & had to have weighted 2 pounds ($43 w 2 sides) They'll be eating on that hunk for days! Not far off I-95 (2-5 minutes), great service, drink refills w/o asking (& w/o interrupting the table conversation) We'll be back, our only regret - we don't live closer! read more

Had a lady at The Oaks on the River, where I stayed, recommend this place. I ordered the surf and turf. 8oz sirloin and shrimp. They let me decide between fried, blackened or boiled shrimp. I choose the blackened. The steak was cooked perfectly for me and the shrimp had good blackening seasoning. For sides I choose the fried okra and baked potato. Could not believe the amount of food for the price. They had an all you can eat buffet there, but this plate of food was unreal. Absolutely yummy! Definitely left stuffed! They were packed, took about 30 minutes to get seated on a Saturday evening, which I thought was dang good. My waitress was really good and she took good care of me on refills of my drink. Definitely be back and recommend this place. read more

This place came highly recommended, and I didn't walk away disappointed. I had the fried shrimp basket. The shrimp were nicely fried, sweet, and delicious. They had a light, but crunchy batter on them. The fries were good, but a bit on the greasy side. The hush puppies were awesome. Locals definitely know about this place, but not many tourists there the day we went. The staff knew a lot of the regulars by name, and were awesome. The buffet and salad bar looked simple, but good. I can't recommend this place any more highly! read more

I have to confess we rode the recommendations of friends who spend a lot of time in this area. If you are staying on the coast, it's a drive inland but well worth it! Great seafood, plenty of it and very reasonable pricing! I had the shrimp, probably 30+ fried shrimp! Oh so tasty, no grease, full of flavor. Hushpuppies were good, nice and crispy but don't eat too many or you won't be able to finish those shrimp! Also had some cole slaw, again pace yourself. A couple in our party had the crab legs and declared them wonderful! If you travel with someone who likes crab legs, be patient, they take some time but they were pretty outstanding. Service is great, atmosphere is nothing fancy but it's all about the food! After all that, if you have room the banana pudding is a great dessert choice. read more

This place is worth the turn off of 95!! If you're going through Georgia on 95 and get near Darian, turn off 95 and go to B&J's! The lunch buffet is country cooking and the seafood is great!!! read more

I'll tell you they nail the steak. They cook it to exactly what you ask for, and they're very generously sized and priced as well as good cuts as far as marbling and gristle goes. B&J's is well worth stopping at if you're passing by, and becoming a regular at if you're a local. read more

Ambiance.. small, loud. Hard to get into door to get a table Service.. took 10-15 mins for us to be seated. Can't really tell when you have a line at door to pay and a line to be seated.
