    Oh my goodness! I don't even know where to start! This place is phenomenal! The food is out of this world, the atmosphere is fantastic, and the people are amazing! If you havent yet tried their Loaded Avocado Toast, you owe it to yourself to try it! It was like a party in my mouth No lie! The best thing I've ever put in my mouth! Now that I've discovered it, I'll be eating there often!!!

    Delightful cafe located in small town Darien, GA. Staff and owners were very welcoming and accommodated our large group with outside seating. Coffee was delicious and food was freshly cooked. Everyone enjoyed their breakfast selections. Loved the outdoor seating with views of the moss trees. Good breakfast/ brunch location, highly recommend.

    Quiche was delicious. Salad was fresh and yummy. Counter order and then delivery to your table. We sat outside on this beautiful spring day. We would recommend. Not difficult to get on and off I-95

    Caprese, quiche, avo toast, cold brew

    To start, the girls working were so sweet and friendly and patient. The cold brew was very tasty, not too strong not too watered down. The caprese, avocado toast and the quiche were all so good. Lovely, peaceful establishment. And the girl behind the counter made the delicious muffins!

    Delicious in house made treats (many with locally sourced goods) give this place a nice slice of small town feelings. Very relaxed feeling and smooth service makes this place a go to! Will gladly come back again!

    We stopped in this small town in Georgia for a quick breakfast. The waiter was very nice, the food was decently good and the seating was comfortable. Overall, it was a nice place to snack on for breakfast. I would recommend going here.

    Such an adorable local coffee shop

The previous time was an experience I will never forget because I had the best Prime Rib experience of my life. This time however was a complete opposite. First, after the salad; which was nothing to write home about, we sat at least for 30 minutes waiting for our Prime Rib, and was then told by our waiter that our order had been "lost". So now we sat for an additional 15-20 minutes until our Prime Rib's appeared. And let me tell you, it wasn't worth waiting for, whatsoever. I had asked for an end-cut medium rare and what I got was more well done than rare. Anyway, I remembered how it previously had melted in my mouth, this time it was pretty tough, not what I was expecting. So, a very disappointing time was had.

Great spot with a great view of the river. Bartender was awesome. Very friendly. Lots of great southern hospitality! Went back for dinner and our server Robert was on point. Great suggestions and very attentive. Very good food and pretty reasonable.

    I stopped here in my way to st Simon's because I ate here many times when I lived in Brunswick…read more I got a table quickly which was a surprise because they were very busy. I debated between shrimp and oysters and the buffet. I chose the buffet because the menu indicated there was lots of different seafood the buffet and I was hoping for some vegetables too. Big mistake. There was no oysters, no scallops and only one vegetable, green beans. There was a small salad bar, so I did have some of that. The best thing was the fried shrimp and the shrimp in the shrimp boil. The deviled crab was not good.Sigh, I paid a huge amount of money and was so disappointed. The interior has not been updated at all, which was a surprise as popular as it is. Learned a hard lesson....look at the buffet before you order it. My apology....I posted the wrong picture when I wrote this review. I was catching up on reviews and clicked the wrong one. I have deleted the picture and apologize for the error.

There was fried fish and fried chicken on the buffet along with green beans, cabbage, Mac and cheese, rice, beans, biscuits etc with apple cobbler and ice cream for dessert. The shrimp here are excellent and always fresh. They do a dinner buffet on Friday and Saturday that has quite a bit of seafood on it as well as steaks, sausages, chicken etc. the dining room is just about always busy as it's a really popular place but the waitresses take good care of everyone. It is not a romantic spot or particularly good for small kids (crowded busy dining room with lots of people carrying buffet plates) but is perfect for people who want really good food at a good price and anyone who appreciated fresh shrimp.

Destiny was our server and she handled everything like a pro, even with a very difficult table next to us. You could tell she was hustling and still kept a great attitude...service definitely stood out. Food-wise, we ordered a little bit of everything: alligator bites, a dozen oysters, and the whole flounder with mac & cheese and collard greens. The alligator bites were easily my favorite--crispy, flavorful, and not chewy at all. The collard greens were also a standout, seasoned just right and full of flavor. The oysters (from Virginia) were fresh and hit the spot. The flounder itself was cooked well, but it could've used a bit more seasoning to really bring it home. Same with the mac & cheese...just a little bland compared to everything else on the table. I also had a prosecco, which paired perfectly with the seafood and kept things feeling light and fun. Overall, great atmosphere, strong service, and a few standout dishes. I'd definitely come back...just know what to order.
