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!

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!!!

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.

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 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 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'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.

But don't let that fool you. The BBQ is gold inside. I've had the Brisket and I think I'm back in Texas. The Pulled Pork is so good and Smokey with just the right amount of bark. And if you like smoked chicken, either get the 1/2 or quarter chicken plate or add on 5 smoked wings. They are some of the best I've had. Their sides are all made in house, and I prefer the Brunswick stew. If you get a plate you get two sides and I'll typically try to talk them into the homemade banana pudding as my second side. Their sauces are good but unique in that they have a mustard base or vinegar base. I like them but that may different for you.... But trust me their smoke is so good you really don't even need sauce. And to me that is a sign of FANTASTIC BBQ! The staff is friendly and willing to help you with the menu as well as it's a little confusing when you first stop in because it's all hand written on the wall. Worth the stop and you'll be happy you did!!
