We've been trying to get in here for years but their hours didn't allow a visit. Now that they're…read moreopen on Saturdays we finally got to give them a try. Southern comfort food. 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!

This place is now called The Tender Pig, and it's delicious. Just ask for Guyvie. Get yo eat on!read more

Good day everyone I…read morejust got done eating one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. Let's start by saying the people who work here are very nice and polite. Good southern feeling when you walk in and everyone says hello. I called in my order for pick up. A bacon cheeseburger with battered fries and a tea. The lady on the phone told me my order would be ready at 13:10. I arrived at said time and my order was ready fresh from the kitchen. Short ride home to eat. The burger came on an amazing soft flavorful bun. The burger was seasoned and grilled perfect. Just the right amount of condiments. Lettuce, tomato, pickle, and onion were in correct proportions as to not slide off or make a mess. The fries were crisp and well seasoned even after five minutes in a to go tray. Tea tasted crisp and fresh. Not to sweet like syrup but just right. Now just cause I got a burger don't think they are limited. I've had amazing seafood from here as well. Great menu. Oh and the best part... my new favorite burger and fries costed less than a fast food restaurant. A++ y'all. See you again real soon.

The whole place is covered in pictures and memories, and you can just feel the love in there. It doesn't feel like a normal restaurant at all--it feels like you're stepping into someone's home. The service was amazing too. Our server was so sweet and welcoming, and there was another man helping out who was just as kind. You can tell everyone there genuinely cares about the people who walk in. And Chef Jerome... oh my gosh. He is seriously the sweetest soul ever. You can tell he puts his heart into everything he makes, and the food?? INSANE. Like actually some of the best food I've ever had. Everything tasted homemade and full of flavor. What made it even more special for me was coming back after so many years. The picture of me when I was little (probably like 13-14 years ago) compared to me now... it just made the whole experience feel so full circle & emotional. Not many places can give you that kind of feeling. This place isn't just about food--it's about memories, people, and love. I would 100% recommend it to anyone. I will definitely be back

Where to start ,,,, This place is amazing. First, it is quintessential back woods Georgia southern…read morehome-cooking made by a man who has dedicated his life to making sure you eat well and have a great time. 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 thought everything was dry, and everything seemed to have the same seasoning mix on it, and it's not a taste that I enjoyed. I tried the baked chicken because I knew I didn't like the fried chicken, and I just didn't enjoy it. The mashed potatoes were really dry. The mac and cheese was ok, but again, dry. I'm a yankee, but I've lived in the south for 40 years, and I like Southern cooking, but I do think this food is probably more appreciated if you're from around here.
