We've been trying to get in here for years but their hours didn't allow a visit. Now that they're…read moreopen on Saturdays we finally got to give them a try. Southern comfort food. Options seem to rotate. One day you're getting spaghetti and meatloaf, another day you're getting stew and pork. But the staples like fried chicken, mash potatoes and macaroni seem constant. The fried chicken, coincidentally, was the best thing I've tried, with the stew coming in a close second. There are MANY options so we definitely got our money's worth. The desserts look they're homemade as well. $15-16 including a drink is a great value. I tried it to-go the other day and it's charged based on weight. The price still ended up topping out as the same price as the buffet, so sitting down is definitely the best and only real option. Overall this is a great option after church or for lunch. In a city like Jesup with so few independent restaurants, this one is one of the best!

We were hungry and the buffet did not disappoint. We had pork chop, fried chicken, sausages and southern country veggies as well as many other offerings. There were several sauces on the table one being local cane syrup which my husband loves on cornbread. The interior is family style tables, nothing fancy but a local favorite so who would complain. I think it gets busy here because the food is good, homemade and plentiful. People were friendly and since being a local favorite establishment, many of the patrons knew each other and were joining others at their tables. Very family oriented...reminiscent of firehouse style eating. Go try it out!!!

We came back even though I wasn't impressed with the food the first time. Unfortunately, I liked…read moreit even less this time. I thought everything was dry, and everything seemed to have the same seasoning mix on it, and it's not a taste that I enjoyed. I tried the baked chicken because I knew I didn't like the fried chicken, and I just didn't enjoy it. The mashed potatoes were really dry. The mac and cheese was ok, but again, dry. I'm a yankee, but I've lived in the south for 40 years, and I like Southern cooking, but I do think this food is probably more appreciated if you're from around here.

These are a must try if you like wings. Chicken and pancake tacos were delicious. Pancakes had a touch of sweetness. Fried chicken inside with a spicy mayo.

One had fried banana peppers. The other side more classic with toppings. Son said it was really good. Others had the ahi tuna salad. Tuna was perfectly rare. Salad was good and the wasabi dressing had great flavor without being too spicy. Service was quick even though jam packed. Also very friendly.

It doesn't feel corporate or manufactured at all. More like you've stumbled into somebody's lovingly chaotic backyard dinner party where the food just happens to be genuinely top-tier. The mismatched charm, handwritten feel, and warm atmosphere are part of what makes it so special. There's this brilliant contrast between the laid-back hole-in-the-wall vibe and the seriously refined cooking coming out of the kitchen. We started with the fried green tomatoes which were incredibly tender, fried perfectly, and drizzled with a lovely house-made ranch. The sweet house pickles alongside were such a good touch. We also each had a cup of she crab soup which was beautifully seasoned and packed with tonnes of crab morsels. For mains, we shared the shrimp and grits and completely understood why the recipe has won awards, including being recognised as the 3rd best in the world. The recipe is rooted in traditional Lowcountry cooking but elevated with layers of flavour that somehow still feel comforting and homemade. The grits were unbelievably creamy, and the shrimp and sausage were perfectly cooked with fantastic flavour throughout. We also split the seafood purloo with blackened grouper, and it was equally impressive. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted incredibly fresh without trying too hard to be fancy. What really made the experience though was the staff. Everyone went above and beyond. They took time to chat with us about the area, paced the courses perfectly so nothing felt rushed, and by the end we were leaving with handshakes feeling more like guests than customers. Places like this are getting harder to find. We'll absolutely be back and would recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Lowcountry food served by genuinely wonderful people.

Because of that, I came in with fairly low expectations, but I left thoroughly impressed. The restaurant has a fascinating history and a great atmosphere, but what really stood out was the quality of the food. We started with a couple of appetizers, and every one of them was excellent. For our entrees, we tried the shrimp and grits and the fried seafood platter. The shrimp and grits were exceptional. The sauce had incredible depth of flavor, the grits were perfectly smooth and creamy, and the shrimp were cooked just right--tender, delicate, and never rubbery. The fried seafood platter was equally impressive. The white fish had a light, crisp breading that enhanced the flavor without overpowering it. The fish itself was moist, flaky, and cooked perfectly. The fried oysters practically melted in your mouth, with none of the graininess that fried oysters can sometimes have. The fried shrimp were outstanding as well--so good that several people at our table couldn't resist stealing a few from my plate! Our server was fantastic. He offered excellent recommendations, described each dish in detail, answered all of our questions, and checked on us regularly throughout the meal without ever being intrusive. We also enjoyed learning about the restaurant's history from a tour group that passed through while we were dining. Before leaving, we browsed the gift shop, which had a nice selection of pirate-themed memorabilia at very reasonable prices. Overall, this was an outstanding dining experience. I came for the history but would happily return for the food alone.
