Just the right amount of attention and making sure our appetizers, meal &, beverages were received in a timely manner and met our expectations. The NY Strip, Filet & Salmon were all excellent! Compliments to the chef's! The Christmas Tree that was inside was decorated nicely and gave the restaurant very nice holiday feel as well as a nice photo op with Santa! Thank you Ali for providing us with a reservation on what turned out to be a nice evening for my wife's mother which brightened her Christmas! Merry Christmas!

I am givng 3 stars because we were seated without a reservation but I have to add that I checked…read moretheir website to make a reservation and reservations were not mentioned anywhere so I assumed that meant they did not take them. Maybe they only take reservations by phone, even though it is 2026, but it should say something to that effect on their website. It was evident they preferred reservations and said they were packed but there were plenty of tables unseated. The table we were seated at, was very wobbly. Which is an annoying thing that is easily fixed. I will say that the bread and the marinated saladswere both very good and our baked potatoes were perfect but that's where it ends. My son got the filet and my husband got the ribeye. They both ordered medium rare but both were well done and chewy. We did not say anything to our waitress or complain bc we are just not those kind people but it was disappointing to say the least. A steak place that has been in business for as long a they have should have perfected their steaks, I got the grilled chicken and when it came, I thought they had brought me fried chicken by mistake. I was expecting a grilled chicken breast (my mistake for assuming) but it was 4 pieces of what appeared to be smoked chicken on the bone. They were pretty tasty but felt like something I would get at a bbq restaurant, not a steak house. Needless to say, we will not be back.

Lucky me to be invited to this special wedding celebrating my friend's daughter and son in law! Crystal chandeliers light the path, both the wedding and reception barns and guest house. White twinkle lights stung to provide soft lighting and a festive atmosphere. According to the mother of the bride, the pricing was reasonable and inclusive of tables, chairs, decor of your choosing, linens and the owners aimed to please! Plenty of parking available, lovely landscaping and accent touches at every turn. Buie Barn owners provide a list of suggested caterers, photographers, florist, etc, but merely as a helpful guide. You may use your favorite, otherwise. Additionally, the bridal party was able to get ready in their spacious guest house equipped with a full kitchen, full bath ( with towels, soaps, wash clothes, personal care items) one half bath, loft area and plenty of seating. This location is in the countryside of Glynn County and approximately 20-25 minutes drive from Brunswick.

They had just built an outdoor bar area right before our wedding (amazing!) and driving up to the venue itself is an experience - beautiful grounds and animals, even a zebra! Jenn Mezera (manager) is phenomenal - a true professional. She felt like one of our family members. She has seen it all and offers great advice and assistance to help make your day go off without a hitch. No notes for the Barn at Cottonwood Ranch - 10/10 recommend getting married here :) I will forever look back on my experience with this venue and staff with a smile on my face.

There was space outside for a ceremony right by the water. Once the sun set, the outside fire pit was was spectacular as the guests enjoyed the open bar and floating hors d'oeuvres. Inside, there was an upstairs bride and groom room and a central sitting area. Bathrooms were clean (though I wish they had electrical outlets!). The layout for a buffet style dinner left plenty of room enough for the ~200 guests without sacrificing any space for a dance floor.

First stop our youngest wasn't hungry, second because I wanted the naner pudding after we'd walked around a bit and third because our little lady got hungry around 8pm. The chicken fingers are unbelievable! Top five I've ever had. Be mindful that the heat level scale very quickly. Plain is a zero one to ten and the next step up is a solid 6. Banana pudding was disappointing. Maybe I got a bad scoop? But it was all bread. Didn't really feel the pudding unless we're talking about like a bread pudding. This place was awesome! Definitely worth a visit if you're in the Saint Simons Island area.

I highly recommend their buffalo crab dip, a concoction that is a buffalo cheese dip served with fresh lump crab. You can really taste the crab in this dish. They don't skimp on it at all. The most clever thing that they did here, though, is to serve it with wonton chips. It's something that's truly unique, as most restaurants would serve a dish like this with regular chips. The wonton chips are a treat unto themselves, having great wonton flavor. However, when you combine it with the dip, it really takes it over the top. Highly recommend. For my entree, I had their Cajun Alfredo pasta. It is linguine served in a "Cajun-spiced Alfredo sauce". It is "served with tasso and smoked sausage", and you can choose to have it with either chicken or wild GA shrimp. In either case, once again, they do not skimp . You get a heaping portion of either chicken or shrimp, and the sauce is very tasty. It is just as described, an Alfredo sauce with a little Cajun flavor, though it is not spicy. It is served with no sides, but no sides are necessary as it is a hearty portion all by itself. Very delicious. The most impressive thing that I saw is that the owner is very hands-on. They have these new-fangled mobile electronic lamps, and the owner came by and noticed that ours wasn't quite working. He replaced it immediately himself. He was very friendly and chatted us up. He also went around and was serving and clearing tables himself. It seems that if you eat here, there's a strong possibility that you could end up meeting the owner! Meeting him was a very nice touch. The only thing that I had a hard time with here was choosing a dish because everything looked so good on the menu! Delicious food and great service. I strongly recommend this place!

The space looks great, and it was exciting to see them expanding into dinner service. I went in craving a good burger and ordered the Smashburger, upgrading to the truffle fries... and wow.

The truffle fries were absolutely worth the upgrade--crispy, indulgent, and hard to stop eating. Overall, a great first dinner experience post-renovation.
