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!

Today the famous chef Jerome welcomed us, we had a look at the antique shop located across from the restaurant, then we entered the restaurant, got to meet his parrot Maggie, vibed in the nostalgia of the restaurant and enjoyed the delicious cuisine presented to us. I had fried whiting, it was crisp, fresh and delicious. This restaurant will have you reminiscing on good times of yester-years. The hospitality was awesome, between our service Angel and Chef Jerome, our experience at the diner was outstanding.

I blame the slow food arrival on the heavy take out and delivery orders, which might be a problem if you dine here on your lunch break. My friend recommended the Shrimp and grits as delicious! When I inquired as to who their shrimp supplier was the waitress informed me "they came in on a truck from Atlanta". Not serving Georgia shrimp in this coastal Georgia county? No thank you to the farm raised shrimp, and minus a star for not buying local. I settled on the Bee Bacon Cheese burger. It arrived missing the bacon, with a sad looking slice of tomato, the hamburger patty appearing pre-patted frozen, as well as the typical frozen crinkle fries. Frankly, the hamburger reminded me of and tasted like the school cafeteria variety. The seasoning on the crinkle fries was a sad attempt to elevate their frozen status. And, it's summertime and tomato season. Why bother serving a hamburger with an underripe tomato? Lastly, there's no excuse for a local business to not support the local, nearby shrimping industry. Buy local and serve Georgia shrimp.

We were told that they were out of Fried Green Tomatoes and Fried Pickles but Ms.Donna double checked and we received a fresh order. Everyone seemingly enjoyed their meals. I enjoyed both waffle most. Great texture and flavor!The chicken was hit, fresh and crispy but if you're don't like heavy batter you won't like it... It reminds you of like a beer batter typically served on fish.... It's work a try! Id like to try some other meny items if I was in the area again!

Options seem to rotate. One day you're getting spaghetti and meatloaf, another day you're getting stew and pork. But the staples like fried chicken, mash potatoes and macaroni seem constant. The fried chicken, coincidentally, was the best thing I've tried, with the stew coming in a close second. There are MANY options so we definitely got our money's worth. The desserts look they're homemade as well. $15-16 including a drink is a great value. I tried it to-go the other day and it's charged based on weight. The price still ended up topping out as the same price as the buffet, so sitting down is definitely the best and only real option. Overall this is a great option after church or for lunch. In a city like Jesup with so few independent restaurants, this one is one of the best!

We were hungry and the buffet did not disappoint. We had pork chop, fried chicken, sausages and southern country veggies as well as many other offerings. There were several sauces on the table one being local cane syrup which my husband loves on cornbread. The interior is family style tables, nothing fancy but a local favorite so who would complain. I think it gets busy here because the food is good, homemade and plentiful. People were friendly and since being a local favorite establishment, many of the patrons knew each other and were joining others at their tables. Very family oriented...reminiscent of firehouse style eating. Go try it out!!!

My husband did the buffet (which was super cheap). He tried everything at the buffet. The sausage was okay, the biscuits were hard, the pancakes were good, the corndogs were terrible, the muffins were okay and the fruit was good. The eggs were okay and the gravy was okay. He said there was a lot of good options and none of the food was bad some was just okay. There were TONs of fresh fruit.

We were shocked at…read morehow busy it was around 10am but it being a weekend during the summer, we should have expected that. The restaurant itself is definitely a neighborhood dive of its own. You can tell that it's been around for a long time with little visual upgrades, but as long as the food is hot and the team is friendly - who cares about the fancy aesthetics! (Not me) When we entered, we were greeted and told them how many were in our party. And then sweet Auntie disappeared and never came back LOL rumor has it, she still has not returned lol. But another sweet young lady asked us again and gave us a number to signify our space in line. After about 10-15min, our number was called and we had a seat in the back room. A Waiter came to our table and quickly took our drink orders, returning shortly after with a tray of drinks. The menu has some great classic breakfast options, as well as brunch. They even have a buffet that was getting a lot of action. Not from me though... I'm good on that in this world of germs! We all opted for different meals, I went with the big breakfast as it paired sweet and savory, just what I prefer. The portions were generous, I'll give them that. My eggs and grits were pretty legit. I've had some great grits and some trash grits, I'd definitely give their version a B. The bacon was a bittt too crispy for me but I'm really weird about my bacon and I feel like normal people like crispy bacon lol so that's a personal problem. But that pork sausage? No way. I don't know what it was about the flavor but I couldn't handle swallowing it. Not sure what happened there. My pancakes were delicious! All in all, a basic breakfast experience that fulfilled its duty of filling our bellies up for the beach.
