    Chicken fried steak with gravy, two eggs over easy and English muffin.
    Sarah M.

    Fun, nostalgic 50's diner brings fresh local ingredients to breakfast offerings. An unassuming spot in rural southern Georgia was a great surprise. Clean, friendly and great food in a walk back in time. Locals know this spot well and for breakfast lovers, this place doesn't disappoint. We arrived at 9:30 on a Wednesday and it was packed shortly thereafter. Great spot for a lovely morning drive near St. Mary's river, farm land and wetlands.

    Here's the scoop! We're headed home on I-95 and we needed to have breakfast. Our biggest problem is finding a restaurant that has parking for our 30 ft RV. So I let my Yelp App guide me to this old fashioned adorable southern restaurant. The place was packed to the gills'. All of the help were so nice, from the greeter, to the man who cleaned off a table for us, to the young lady that gave us menus and coffee and finally to our server Brittany! She took our orders, refilled our coffee cups, got Dave ice water and hot sauce! I ordered the western omelet which was loaded with ham and fresh veggies. I had cheese grits that were super creamy and cheesy, and an English muffin that Dave devoured. Even that tasted delish, maybe buttered and fried? Sometimes it pays to go off the beaten path to the road unknown! Best part was that I shared my breakfast with my little girl Freckles!

    Traveling I-95 south in a Class C This "find" was a welcome alternative to highway fast fare. Just 3 miles to BETTER! Hospitality, ambience, food, affordability, menu variety and good service. On a Sunday at 10am it was packed. The hostess had us seated after a short wait and the manager cleaned the tables. Coffee (good) immediately! Brittany showed up quickly and orders placed. 7 minutes wait time with a full house- real good. My scrambled eggs were just right. My wife Judy's omelette was over sized. Not jealous but I will remember next time we purposely return. Bacon was crispy and the cheesy grits outstanding. $29.16 + tip. An Off-95 bargain.

    Stopped here for breakfast on our way home from Cumberland Island. We had to put our name in but the wait wasn't too bad. Everything we ate was great!

    Vintage style family owned restaurant for sure. The reviews for the fried chicken is what brought us. We decided to share a four piece meal. They definitely give you plenty of food. For me, the Mac and cheese was bland and a little dry. The fries were over done but the fried chicken and potato salad were amazing. I do love some good cornbread that doesn't fall apart when you put butter on it. Our waitress was super cute and friendly.

    The best fried chicken in town (kingsland, GA). We were on the road for a few hours and stopped for lunch. Highly recommended.

    It's only 252 miles from our house in St. Petersburg, Fl to Steffens in Kingsland, Ga. The drive is worth it just for the collard greens. Sweet, a hint of heat, pork pieces, some stems (meaning these are the real deal). Best I've had since Elliot's mom taught me how to make greens back in 1978. We ate here twice in the last week. Once on the way to Durham. Once on the way back home. Fried chicken crispy and moist. Liver and Onions amazing. The beef tips in bourbon sauce was fantastic! Asked how I wanted them. Medium rare I said, hopeful but not really expecting anything. They were done absolutely perfect to my taste of medium rare. Pink center, tender, juicy, tasty. Not over-sauced with the bourbon sauce. Just the right amount of one tasty sauce to compliment the already delicious tips. Wow! Real home made mashed potatoes (pieces of potato in there just the way I like it). Fried okra. Amazing. Hush puppies with onion! We'll be back even if it is a four hour drive!

    Our second time here! We love this place! I gave it four stars due to the long wait to get your food after you have sat down at the table. But it's worth the wait. Prices are very reasonable. Staff is very friendly!

    My husband and I stumbled upon this little country diner, and what a delightful surprise it was! Established in 1948, this quaint spot exudes charm from the moment you step through the door. We were lucky to get a table shortly after arriving, and the friendly service made us feel right at home. I ordered Steffen's Benedict, which featured real country ham, eggs, smothered in peppered sausage gravy, topped with crispy fried green tomatoes. Each bite was a perfect blend of flavors! My husband enjoyed home fries with sausage and biscuits and gravy, which he loved just as much. A comforting Southern classic. The atmosphere felt so hometown, with the warmth of friendly conversations all around and the enticing aroma of delicious food. If you're in the area, don't miss out on this hidden gem. We'll definitely be back for more of their comforting dishes! We even took desserts home for later !

    So lucky to have found this place, thanks to Yelp. Serving sizes are so large and generous, and real good. Tip: when ordering bread, get the cornbread because although the hush puppies are good, they're small and you get only three or four of them. Chicken pot pie a little runny but good, and served with a spoon. Fried okra real good, sweet potato fries a little soft. Fried chicken livers a little over cooked.

    The table top was so cool

    We found Steffens when we looked on Google Maps for a place to eat. They are off the beaten path that we normally travel but oh so worth the find. When we pulled up you knew how good they much be the parking lot was packed and this was just a Monday about 12:30 pm. We found a place to park and went inside, we waited about 10 minutes to be seated, so worth it. Busy busy place. Our waitress came and took our drink orders as we still wanted to decide from the menu, she came back and we ordered. My daughter and I got liver and onions, she got the greens and macaroni and cheese and I got mashed potatoes and creamed corn. The mashed potatoes are real and the creamed corn is homemade. All of it was oh so good. He got biscuits and gravy and pancakes, they tasted like grandmas house. Everything was oh so good. The waitress was amazing kept our glasses full and came by often to see if we needed anything. Portions are not small which made him happy. Inside the restaurant are many old picture's and lots to see just an overall great experience. This was our first time there and we will be back.

    Daily specials. Yummmmm

    Steffan's was everything we had hoped for after a 12 Hour drive from the North East, it was a beautiful small community and it seemed like everyone in town was at the restaurant eating with us and it was a lovely bunch of folks. They really hustle in that restaurant the line of people is always forming and the food is a flashback to days by gone. Everything homemade fresh ice cream nothing from a can or jar. For entrées we ordered catfish and country fried steak with brown gravy . For sides there was fried okra & corn fritters of some kind which I thought were exceptional. The Black Eyed Peas were amazing - like I had never tasted before. There were biscuits cornbread hush puppies served right at dinner which was a nice touch. I heard it's the best place in town to eat but the town is pretty small a great stop if you're traveling down 95 to Florida. Last exit in Georgia before the Florida border.

    Two of us had the scrambler. It was a large delicious biscuit cut in half, topped with two sausage…read morepatties, scrambled eggs, and amazing white sausage gravy. Flavorful, perfectly cooked scrambled eggs, and the sausage gravy to die for. Really enjoyed the biscuits!!! Two others in the group had the omelet with side of grits. Again, amazing grits (not a food I grew up with but certainly came to love when cooked correctly) and delicious eggs n cheese. Do not be put off with the exterior!! It is an old gas station, converted to an amazing breakfast and lunch spot. I normally come for lunch, chicken made perfectly with amazing sides! The coffee is always perfect. Service is mostly you serve yourself. Coffee, creamers, drinks, butter, napkins, cutlery, ice, water, all available at the back of the shop. The people at the order station are ALWAYS so nice and welcoming. Just a great place for breakfast and lunch. I come back every time we are in the area.

My wife had hers as a lunch entree with creamy Cole slaw and perfectly cooked fries. So good! We ate on one of the outside tables since it was so nice outside. Order at the counter.
