    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.

    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.

    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!

    Without a doubt and a raving, absolutely yes. We kind of stumbled upon this restaurant when we…read moremoved to the area and we have not regretted it not one single second. As a matter of fact how we've known about this restaurant we might've moved here several years before we actually did. My husband adores the hamburger steak, scrambled eggs, toast, and hashbrowns. He's a man of familiar habits and he's never been disappointed. I like to experiment and honestly, I've never been disappointed. In addition to the delicious food that orange juice would keep me coming back to this restaurant day after day after day! This restaurant is absolutely the best in the area or even the best of the best

    I wanted to share my experience because it was extremely disappointing from beginning to end…read more When the host was walking us to our table, she told us there were no high chairs available. I understood that, but then she suggested putting a regular chair at the end of the table for my 1-year-old. I politely told her, "No, we'll make it work at the table." She immediately rolled her eyes and, with an attitude, said, "It's a four-top." I explained that there were three adults and two toddlers, so we would be fine sharing the table rather than having my 1-year-old sit alone in a regular chair at the end of the table. After that interaction, she didn't even walk us to our table. Instead, she pointed across the restaurant to where we were supposed to sit and walked away. She also never brought us our menus that were in her hand since she didn't walk us to the table. Later, I took my 3-year-old to the restroom. As we were walking back to our table, an employee came running through the kitchen door without saying they were coming out and hit my child with it. The employee looked directly at us but didn't apologize or ask if my child was okay. They simply continued walking. When our food arrived, our order was incorrect, and our children's meals weren't brought out at all. As we were leaving, my 1-year-old accidentally knocked over a drink. I immediately started looking for napkins so I could clean it up myself, but the same employee rolled her eyes again, had an obvious attitude, and wouldn't even hand me any napkins to help clean the spill. At that point, I asked to speak with a manager. The employee with the problem came up and stood there while I requested one but made no effort to get a manager for me the other host just said oh sorry. After we left, I called the restaurant and asked to speak with a manager. They hung up on me, and when I called back, they refused to answer the phone. Overall, the lack of customer service, professionalism, and basic concern for customers especially after my child was hit by the kitchen door was unacceptable. I understand that mistakes happen, but the repeated poor attitudes and lack of accountability made this one of the worst dining experiences I've had.

    Service was very fast and friendly!! I got the Eggs on the Bayou and the eggs really were perfectly…read morepoached! I am very particular about my eggs so I was happy about that. The cheese grits were also very good! I came alone and felt very comfortable, it is a chill vibe. Would come again!

    Long story short: Nice little breakfast spot with good service…read more We came right before 8am and were sat immediately. Our server was kind, but not overly friendly (I don't want a performance, you know?). And our food came out maybe 10 minutes after we ordered. We were early enough to order the Sunrise Special and the egg portions seemed surprisingly large! The grits were lovely. The bacon was not the best, it's thin cut (reminiscent of microwave bacon) and I prefer it to be thick. I ordered the eggs Benedict and really enjoyed it. The hollandaise could have had a touch more seasoning, but the texture was great. I actually preferred the Canadian bacon that came on it than the regular bacon that came with the Sunrise Special. It was perfectly salty and crisp. Oh! And it came with crab meat on it which was a special twist I didn't expect but really appreciated. The potatoes are cut into large chunks, but they are well seasoned and cooked nicely. I can't stand when a potato is undercooked, but this place didn't have that problem. And the cherry on top was the water. Florida locals may not be bothered by the ocean-y taste that comes with their drinking water, but for our family it is something that's hard to get past. We were pleasantly surprised to find that this water tasted as if it was filtered and the ice is that soft kind that's pleasant to chew. This might seem like a silly thing to add, but it really stood out to me and I'm grateful for it.

The kabobs were over and under cooked. It's like if they blindly chopped up pieces of beef and then cooked some OVER WELLDONE AND SOME MED RARE. The temperature preference also wasn't asked.

I did t tell her I was unhappy with my meal because I doubt anything they brought would have been any better. Also The ambiance is that of 70's -80's decor.

The restaurant is cozy and has updated furniture and decor. The only thing I didn't like was our table was sticky, kinda weird. I'd still come back to have lunch or dinner here again!
