Chef Jerome is a piece of SE Georgia history and makes some fantastic food. From the moment we pulled up to the restaurant, Chef Jerome came out and greeted us with hugs and assurances that he was going to take good care of us. The building is eclectic, quirky, rustic, and several more adjectives - but never off-putting. It is comfortable.... When you walk in, you really get a feel for the history of this place - particularly from the tens of thousands of photos that decorate the walls (virtually all of them) throughout the restaurant. There are pictures of locals, travelers and even several celebrities that have feasted at the Diner. Ben Afflect's picture is featured all over the restaurant as he frequents this place whenever he is in town (he even has his own autographed chair hanging on the wall). We were seated in the VIP room and presented with a menu with several good southern dishes from deviled crab, oysters, scallops and of course shrimp to ribs, porkchops, steaks and burgers. They are known for their Wheelchair Platter - which serves 2, 3, or 4 people. This is a collection of things that the Chef has selected for you including fried shrimp, fish, hushpuppies, pork chops, Mac 'n cheese, and other treats. Comes with slaw and potato salad (both fantastic), We ordered the platter for 2 - and it did not disappoint. We also got the sweetpotato logs with a cinnamon dipping sauce (wow!). First - those were some of the best hushpuppies I've ever eaten. Crispy on the outside but fluffy with bits of corn on the inside. yum. Everything else was cooked to perfection. Once we had eaten, Chef Jerome came out and took some pictures (for the wall of course) and had us promising (truthfully) to return soon. This place is a little out of the way. It's down a dirt road and looks a little rustic - but you will be very pleasantly surprised once you go in and let Chef Jerome take care of you. A Definite recommendation! Don't miss this treasure!

I had things to attend to in Hinesville, and then we planned to visit Sunbury Crab because I had raved about it to a friend. She had hip surgery a few months prior, and this was going to be her first "road trip." We were coming down from Beaufort, SC. I made a reservation through Resy. Within 15 minutes of making the reservation, I was called and told they had canceled it. I asked why, and she told me I could come in at 5 or after 7:30 and sit at a high top or try to sit at the bar, which is first come, first served. I told the woman those options weren't feasible. I was told they try to keep the low tops available for other parties, and it was an accessible table. I tried to explain that's why I booked that table, but she told me the reservation had already been canceled for me and taken by someone else. I was very disappointed. I decided to try again, hoping I could get an early reservation at 4:45. Again, party of 2. This time, no instantaneous rejection. I was hopeful. This time, I called to confirm that, as a party of 2 with one person having a mobility issue, we could be accommodated. I was assured it would be fine. So we drove down from Beaufort. We were about 15 minutes away when I got an automated notice that my reservation had been canceled. I pulled over immediately and called to tell them this was a mistake and we were almost there. The woman told me they had canceled my reservation on their end, and I could (1) come back after 7:30 to "see if I could be seated" OR I could try the bar area. I told her I called to confirm it wouldn't be a problem, since I'd had an issue before and was told that before 5:00 it would be NO PROBLEM. She said she was sorry, but there was nothing she could do. A larger party wanted the table, and she had canceled my reservation. I asked what the point of making a reservation was if they were going to always cancel. She said it was at her discretion, and my only choices were bar seating or after 7:30. Now, after reading several more reviews of this restaurant and talking to locals and other visitors in the area, I am finding out that parties of 2 are not welcome during prime dining hours. You must go before 5 p.m. or after 7:30 p.m. They routinely cancel reservations for parties of two, and if you want a low-top table, you MUST be a larger party. They routinely skip over small parties and do not honor reservations for parties of fewer than 4. If you are a party of less than 4, hope they call you or notify you before you show up for a reservation. If you don't get notification that your reservation was canceled, you will find out when you get there.
