Great food, friendly service and atmosphere. The Bbq here is awesome and one of my favorites along with the hush puppies. A nice addition for a quick lunch or dinner option near the house. read more

Mediocre at best. I was excited to try this place because of the good reviews. First of all, the food came out and it was cold, so not a great start. Not even warm but cold. The mac and cheese was fine but not great, the brunswick stew was watery, and the banana pudding was super liquidy and tasted like sunscreen (my husband said soap lol). It was also mostly whipped cream somehow. The hickory bbq sauce was great, the hush puppies were fine with the cinnamon butter, and the cornbread was really good. The portions are also TINY for the price. Staff was nice but we will not be back. read more

Sally Mae's Kitchen - Southern Near Me - Brooklet, Georgia

Traveling home after a Florida weekend we got off the craziness that can be I-95 and happened upon Sally May's while driving the back roads. It's a small and super clean. You order at the counter and they bring it to your table. The gals working at the counter were very friendly. My daughter ordered a catfish po-boy and I got a dinner portion of their Lo Country boil. I should have had the lunch portion as I ended up taking half of it home. The lo country boil was the classic shrimp, sausage, red potatoes and corn. It was perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of kick. The cocktail sauce served with it had a perfect amount of horseradish. We also shared an order of "firecracker" shrimp. So tasty. My daughter reports her sandwich was tasty if a bit bready. The portion of catfish on the sandwich was plentiful. Sally Mae's is just off the interstate and worth seeking out if you are in the area. read more

Plenty of parking as I pulled in.placed my order for a fish and shrimp platter with sides of Cole slaw and fries.food came out quickly and was instantly disappointed. Portions were small for the money I paid.was expecting fish filets but instead received 3 or 4 small nuggets. Shrimp was ok if you like rubbery. Atleast the soda was ok.for the price I paid it was a terrible value and I won't be back. read more

Oh no what has happen to Sally Mae's. Unfortunately new ownership is not what this place needed. It used to be under much better ownership. The Brunswick stew isn't the same. The food does not have the same level of quality as it used to. read more

Great food and would do well even if there were more places to compete with. All the charm of a really good mom and pop restaurant

Good southern cooking. We loved everything and the service was very good. The BBQ pork was delicious!

Was helping a friend who lives in Brooklet do some work on her farm and we had to run to the supply store. She went out of her way to come to Sally Mae's to introduce me to their wide variety lunch items. We both had their bacon cheeseburger melts with fries. Everything is fresh, was super hot and extremely yummy! I'm ready to come back again! read more

We decided to try something different. SM was near the interstate. It was very clean, you go to the counter to order and they bring your food to the table. Prices reasonable, limited service. Food quality good, no issues. Pulled pork a bit dry, needed bbq sauce, fries made to order and great. Boil was good, plenty to eat. Overall we would return. read more

So where do you eat breakfast/lunch when you're a Kentucky girl nine hours away from home? Do you go to some swanky place in the city? Nahhhh. You do what the locals do and stop in Sally Mae's Kitchen where you're made to feel right at home. The atmosphere is just like I like it - no nonsense and no pretense - just a good little place to get some great food. The service is all you would hope it to be from a southern spot -- and the food -- well-- it's like you stopped in to see your southern grandma and she cooked for ya! Just a great bite at a great price. I got the BLT and it was exactly how a BLT should taste. My sister got the all day pancakes and oh what pancakes these were. Big, not too fat, and browned and slightly crispy on the edges and well - just like my daddy used to make them. Listen to the locals. They always know where to go and they told us -- go to Sally Mae's Kitchen and we are so glad we did! Great Service. Great food. Great down home atmosphere and prices that are more than friendly. That's the way to roll when you're in The neighborhood! read more

The perfect place to pull over for a road trip lunch. We made a spontaneous stop and found a gem of a roadside cafe with tasty food that came out quick so we could get back on the road. read more

The bbq was pretty good. The mashed potatoes were instant flakes. The service was very friendly.

The first week this restaurant was open, it was great. However, they've gone down hill from there. You cannot place a to go order over the phone. You have to do it on the internet. My dad is 84 and a widower, he relies a lot on take out for his meals. He doesn't know how to use the internet. read more

Great food & service. We called in an order on our drive to Savannah. Ordered 3 smoked bbq plates. Very generous portions. read more

I was hesitant about stopping anywhere on Christmas Eve, but this is a clean, cozy little spot I'm glad we took the time to check out. The service was friendly, and the food came out fast, and it tasted great. We spent only slightly more time and money than we would have at a fast food joint. Not a bad trade to get collards, cornbread, and pulled chicken on a road trip. read more

Super nice people. Food was great. They oven cook their bacon! I definitely recommend and come back! read more

Quick, cheap, and delicious. The girls working the counter were all super sweet and a pleasure to deal with. We stopped in on our way north and made a point to grab a few more sandwiches on our way south. Both sauce options appeared to be homemade and were delicious. read more

We stopped along our drive into Sally Mae's & not only was the food amazing, but the southern hospitality went a step further. Summer at the cashier stand & Scott the owner made us feel like old friends in the first 20 minutes of coming in. The barbecue is unreal fresh. You must get the Cole slaw, Mac n cheese & the Brunswick stew! You will not regret stopping by. read more

Fantastic! Service was quick and friendly. Food was great. I had catfish, grits, and an unusual and tasty potato salad. Others in my party had cheese burgers, nicely crispy bacon! And really good bbq. read more

We were looking for a breakfast place while traveling and decided to try Sally Mae's. I had an egg and bacon biscuit and my husband had biscuit and gravy. Delicious! Biscuits are flaky and tasted just right. Also we both ate for $10. Highly recommend! And the bathroom was nice and clean. Definitely will stop here on the way back. read more

Fantastic quick stop on a Sunday morning as we drove home from Savannah. We tried the chicken biscuit, grits (plain and cheese), scrambled eggs, bacon, and pancakes. Everything was delicious! Grits must be made in chicken stock or something genius because they have fantastic flavor. Biscuits were rich and fluffy, felt guilty eating the whole thing but I just couldn't stop. Their homemade BBQ sauces were also delish. I think our pancakes were atypical. They were chewy and difficult to cut? Flavor was good though and I saw another guys plate of them, they looked fluffy so I was a wee bit jealous. If we weren't traveling and eager to get home, I would've asked for a refire. ‍ Everyone was friendly. Will definitely stop in again on our next trips from/to Savannah. read more

If you are passing through from Savannah to Atlanta or in reverse, give this place a stop! The food was fabulous, the staff is so kind and made the best recommendations when ordering to ensure the food was just the way we liked it. read more

Today was our first time visiting the restaurant. Ordered a catfish platter ( sign says add a shake for $1.20). $10.99+ $3.49 ? Really? Ordered a patty melt. Was asked if I wanted the combo. I replied yes. $5.29+ fries $3.99+ shake $1.70? Really? Granted the fries are hand cut. Over fried very small pies and greasy. The catfish didn't look like their advertisement. *Pieces. We don't go that direction often. It's ok because it's not somewhere we'd go out of our way to eat there again. read more

Y'all. I'm pretty critical of bbq. This. Is. Good. BBQ. Listen to me: pork was tender with the perfect chewing consistency. Ketchup based sauce is excellent. Could use a spicy version of it. Mac is great without being to greasy. Potato salad is very good strong relish. Brunswick stew is very different and very good. All of this stuff actually tastes homemade... I'm really happy to have found this spot right off 16! read more

Excellent Food & nice people!! Fried catfish & BBQ sandwich! We always stop there now when we are in the area!!

Stopped for lunch on the way home to Atlanta from Daufuskie. All our food was delicious! We liked the smoked pork barbecue so much that we picked up a couple of pounds to take home. Will definitely stop here anytime we are in the area in the future. Having visions of picking up bbq on the way to the beach next time. Yum! Very friendly staff as well! Was very busy so it took a few minutes to get our food, but it was worth the wait. read more

I would eat breakfast, lunch and dinner here every day if I could! Everything is delicious!!

My wife and I were traveling from Savannah to Knoxville and looking for a down-home country meal. Well we certainly found it Sally Mae's is just like grandma's. They had everything from smoked pork chops to cheeseburgers, two kinds of fish and plenty of side dishes like Brunswick stew. Also several different kinds of ice cream. And the folks that worked there were so very nice. Of course the local law-enforcement was eating there as well which is always a really good sign. So if you're ever in Nevils Georgia off of Highway 16 stop in and get some good eats. Blessings bill & leslie read more

I see them on TV and it looks like they have a lot of happy customers, that works out great for someone that feed people

We pass this area frequently and always stop by Sally Mae's Kitchen. Everything is perfect (except the grits...I'm picky). The staff is awesome and the service is fantastic. 10/10 would recommend. read more

We had a bacon pattymelt with a side of Brunswick stew. Also had 2 large Catfish filets, fresh potato salad, corn muffin even a good side said. All of our food was fresh and tasty. The Mint chocolate chip ice cream was a large serving for dessert. This is a 5 star diner with excellent service, fast food and good quality. A Clemson football game was on the TV but I was watching Ohio State and the team up North on my phone. I would return here if ever in the area. read more

We were looking for a quick spot to stop and eat between Atlanta and HHI. We saw other great reviews for Sally Mae's and happy we listened. Their lunch (and desserts) were amazing! On our trip back home to Atlanta, we planned our ride to stop in for their breakfast. Also amazing!! This will definitely be our mid trip stop for beach drives to come. read more

Friendly staff made us travelers welcome. Had the best pork chops of our lives. No, really. The absolute best pork chops ever, abs we've traveled the country finding good food. Homage cobbler is awesome. The burger was pretty good too and the baked beans were superb. We would go out of our way to eat here again. read more

Wow what a joke!!!!!staff needs more basic training . Family size no buns no jugs .....no service. Wait time 20 minutes.

Unbelievably good, friendly and welcoming. Stopped for coffee but couldn't turn away the bbq plates. Highly recommended!

Saw this place and got excited to get some bbq, that was short lived, I got the 6 rib plate and was able to eat 1 of the ribs, the others were so dry and hard I didn't even try, it was neat how they attempted to dress them up with bbq sauce. The billboard out front brags about their reviews except they have turned off google reviews! lol read more
