Altmans was our go to place for shrimp for years. We would drive 30 minutes to eat fried shrimp and crab cakes. Unfortunately there has been a significant decline in the quality of the food particularly the shrimp and crab cakes. The shrimp breading has been changed to a thicker tasteless muck from the crisp light breading similar to that found down the road at B&Js Steak and Shrimp. The crab cake appetizer was pitiful... thin and burnt. Others in our party complimented the Hamburger and the Country Fried Steak so all is not lost but if you want good fried shrimp keep driving. The service is always pretty good but the seafood has really gone downhill and I will not be back read more

The people here are really friendly and it's always clean. The lunch buffets are always good and it's a decent price. The sides are fantastic and I feel like I am eating a home cooked meal every time I go. read more

This place is a five-star buffet experience. The price-performance ratio is there for this type of service. It's also optimized for the daily specials. We stopped by for lunch recently and ordered off the menu. The wait was 30-minutes for our entrees. The food was acceptable but not particularly tasty. This suggests to us the kitchen operation is optimized for buffet operation. Perhaps, there was a staffing challenge during our visit. Every restaurant can serve a less than stellar experience. Overall we continue to rate this place a 5. read more

Nice little roadside restaurant. Great food, better service. Can't say the same about yelp. read more

Super good food service is okay good if you're stopping in town on a travel or if you're local looking for a bite to eat

Very nice buffet , was delicious and hot! Friendly staff ! I found on google looking for buffets near me and glad we found this one, we will be back! read more

Lunch buffet was great! Salad was fresh and good variety of items!!!!! Dessert was the bestest!!!!!

Amazing little local café! Walked in and was immediately greeted and welcomed to sit. Buffet was simple but looked homemade and smelled divine. Quaint, friendly and delicious! read more

Simple, good food. It was off the beaten path. They said they were known for their buffet and had the best fried chicken around. I got a shrimp basket with battered fries. The fries were amazing and the shrimp tasted very fresh. It was a reasonably priced meal in an area that can be pretty pricey when it comes to seafood. I definitely recommend this place!! read more

Food was just like Mommy cooked it. With Love. And great hospitality!!! Stop In and try the SweetTea.

Small hometown feel. Food was seasoned good next time I'm going to try the breakfast buffet, service was also good.

New management can't handle a complaint. I was required to pay for food that I couldn't eat. Brought it to the manager's attention who didn't make it good. . I can't see how the restaurant is better than before in any way. It's gone downhill to me. The salad bar is bad with little choice and fresh vegetables aren't on it. It's the plain cheap iceberg lettuce and that's it. No good salad dressing. Have tried many times but never had a great meal with well prepared food. Kitchen staff turnover is continuous; you can hear the kids in the dining room playing in the kitchen. . If you have any class at all , Altman's may not be for you. If you like can to pan institutional food; you'll love Altman's. read more

Good food, giant portions, good service, nice friendly country atmosphere, very close to the interstate. What else could you ask for in a local family restaurant? We highly recommend Altman's! read more

Service was very good. The chicken livers were excellent and fried just right! The onion rings were awful, extremely salty and undercooked. When I told the cashier, she simply said, Oh!!! I told her the problem and that for the extra charge was wrong, she just smiled and said nothing. read more

Our group eats here often. This is a very family and community friendly place. The buffet is always well stocked and Thursday is pork chops done in different ways. The ambiance is super casual and if you don't do the buffet, the items on the menu are just as good. Perfect place for large groups but get there early for lunch because parking will be scarce. And easy 5 stars from someone who eats here almost daily. read more

Don't get me wrong lovely food but always served cold they seem to be to busy with there take outs more than the people sitting down to eat

Food is always fresh and very good. Portions are large enough for a second meal. Service has always been good. Tonight was the exception because they had a cook and server walk off the job. They did their best and we will definitely be back. read more

Best damn flounder sandwich you can get crinkle fries vs battered is a matter of choice both good! Slaw is perfect

Wow! If you're traveling north or south on I-95, I highly recommend you arrange to be hungry at mile marker 58 in Eulonia, GA. Altman's is within a mile of the interstate, so very convenient. The country cooking is real...real good. The fried chicken is crispy, not greasy and is tender. The coleslaw (as is everything else apparently) is homemade. The green beans are flavorful and the Mac and cheese will satisfy any aficionado of this dish. On this day, the buffet also offered lemon cake and peach cobbler for dessert. I believe I am set for the day. read more

I have just started working at this restaurant and have worked at several plus owned my own this place is amazing Service is some self service but for the price really Food is amazing all fresh cooked daily well seasoned Southern style food I bought home a buffet plate was great lunch and dinner and will be tomorrow s lunch The new owner is really trying to give good service This place is worth stopping by real value for the money! . Open every day 7am till 3pm on Sunday and every other day 7am till close I would give them a 8 out of 10 star rating read more

I got the crab cake sandwich and it was amazing! Generous portions. I avoid fried food, so I was happy to be able to get mashed potatoes instead of fries. I expected to be hungry after eating that, but I was full. My husband got a burger and battered fries, which he really enjoyed. Service was prompt and friendly. Good quality food for a good price. read more

We were driving home from Florida and wanted a non chain place to get dinner. We saw it had a four start review so gave it a shot. I got the seafood platter. If you like lots of breading and no flavor then this is the place for you. I also wanted to use the restroom but decided that I did not have to go that bad. It might have been clean yesterday when must have been the last time they serviced it. If you are looking for some good seafood then keep on looking. read more

The place is not fancy but the Food was fresh and delicious. A+ to your cook! We will defenetly come again.

A prior reviewer mentioned a certain vibe here. This place clearly caters to locals. I was driving through on my way to Savannah and stopped based on the 4.0 Yelp ratings. I really wanted to like this place but I can't say it lives up to the 4.0 rating. Although I came in after the lunch rush, nearly every table was empty and dirty. I settled into my dirty table with buffet choices in hand and eventually a waitress came by and offered to wipe the table. The result was a puddle of water and a table that wasn't any cleaner than when I started. Service was sparse. Getting refills was a chore and I eventually asked another server who was happy to help. The buffet was what you'd expect at a small place: 3-4 meats and 5-6 vegetables. The salad bar was well stocked. Overall I'd give the food a 7/10. The Mississippi pot roast stole the show and everything else was solid. If I were a local, I might eat there every 2-3 weeks. Since there's not much else around, that's a shame. read more

Good news food is great. BAD NEWS: LADIES BATHROOM NEEDS MAJOR ATTENTION! At least spray or use bleach. Wipe down baseboards every now n then and sink faucet. read more

Good Southern cooking with a great atmosphere. First time visiting, so we did not know that we sat ourselves. So keep that in mind. They have a good menu and also a buffet. We chose the buffet, and the selection was great. We will have to take pictures next time we go. read more

Food was great prices were great service was great as well. But if you get heartburn I don't recommend the pork chops they were good but I was up all night. read more

I didn't take a photo because I was too hungry but our meal was VERY good. I got the Hamburger Steak, Mashed Potatoes/Gravy and Butter Beans. Huge generous portions. Yummy REAL hamburger steak. Large bowl of Butter Beans. My husband just got a hamburger sandwich and fries. It was super-thick and juicy. Great friendly service! read more

OMG! Why wait an hour at B and J's just to get in!!! Great salad bar selection! The seafood buffet is limited in selection but what they offer is great tasting and cooked to perfection! Lightly battered fresh Georgia jumbo shrimp, the best crab balls, lightly battered fish that is melts in you mouth flakey, and the Best filet mignon I've ever had!!! The cake tasted like it was made from scratch, and the service was AweSome! 01-26-19. Stopped in for lunch. 1 inch thick BCB right off the BBQ grill ! Awesome!!! read more

We've been wanting to try Altman's for many years. We finally got our chance on Thursday for lunch when we were headed to Shellman bluff to fish. We arrived at Altman's early (about 1030am) and waited until the buffet was ready at 11am. A friendly young waitress greeted us when we came in and got our drinks. At 11am there were about 18 people waiting to dive to the buffet or get some take out plates. Mostly locals, sheriff deputies, workers, some seniors. It was nice & cool in there. The buffet was $9.50. This includes drink, salad bar & desert too. There was a good selection of Fried pork chops, grilled pork chops with onions & bell peppers, fried chicken, etc. Lots of vegetables like greens, white acre peas, collards, etc. The fried chicken was super hot (temp) so be careful before you bite. It was hot & fresh but didn't have much flavor. It was a good meal & we are glad that we tried it. We prefer B&J's chicken & their lunch buffet to Altman's but would go there again & maybe order off the menu or try their shrimp. read more

The food I ate at this lunch buffet was great. The salad bar had more on it than I expected and all was fresh. They had multiple choices of meat. I had meatloaf and cubed steak with onion gravy. Both were excellent. Veggies were good as well. I wanted to try everything but I'm trying to lose weight so I skipped the sausage and fried chicken. I think the price of $13 is a bargain. You can spend as much, or more, on fast food and not get near the quantity or quality. read more

Kim was amazingly helpful steering us to a great dinner experience. The fried okra was crispy and great tasting. The blackened shrimp was spicy and a very generous pound. Probably would skip the salad bar next time so we wouldn't leave with boxes for tomorrow's lunch. Definitely a great stop off 95 as an easy off and back on. read more

This Restaurant is highly recommended by the locals. To my surprise I met a distant cousin! The food is plentiful and very good. No such thing as a small plate and the servers are super friendly as well. read more

The food was good but the vibe is a little different for me so I won't go back. New to the neighborhood but good food and good vibes only work together for me read more

This was our first stop when we arrived to Darien, GA. We were starving and wanted something quick but delicious. Altman was exactly that. The fried shrimp sandwich is to die for, recommend it 10/10. My boyfriend got the fried chicken dinner meal and it was very good and my brother got a cheese burger that was also pretty good. We also got the blossom onion and the sauce that came with it was amazing. I'd say the fried shrimp sandwich and the onion were the stars of the night! The service was also good. Our waitress accommodated us with everything we needed. read more

Okay so we got there before the Sunday rush. We didn't want the buffet. We waited over 20 minutes after we got our sweet tea and menus. We never got waited on. We ended up leaving. We left the waitress a $1 tip. The cashier charged us $5.38 for the tea. Even after my hubby told her that we had waited so long. The saddest part of this story is that I love Altmans seafood. We were traveling back to NC from a wedding in S FL. I can't even say when we will be back this way again. I am pretty sad about it. read more
