    House salad with Blue Cheese.
    Patti S.

    Definitely out of the way, but worth the trip. I did enjoy some great service and wonderful food. Please take some time and enjoy this spot.

    Blue cheese chips - wow - surprisingly delightful!

    Lovely little restaurant ample with charm and great service and food. Call ahead for the wheelchair accessible ramp to be placed for side door entry. Menu includes great apps and seafood and meats and good beer & wine selection. We tried three apps - the onion rings were crispy and hot, the blue cheese chips were a surprising (must try) delicious bite, and the mushrooms (good but not fantastic). Meals included the shrimp and grits (yum! creamy creamy grits!), the shrimp and scallops (blackened and sweet and delicious), and crispy fried fish and twice baked potatoes (another yum). The salad was fresh with a variety of veggies and dressing options (served family style). The hush puppies were crispy and good but a little dense. The service was friendly and prompt and accurate - even with our large group about 25 folks. All in all, a beautiful and welcoming space for a meal with family or friends (we were there for the annual Americus Rotary Club holiday dinner). Highly recommend.

    The Daphne Lodge was amazing! I'm a huge fan. I went with a group of girlfriends for a bachelorette weekend. We were able to make reservations in advance and every part of the experience was GREAT! Food (5/5): I ordered the shrimp and grits and replaced my coleslaw with a side salad. The side salad came out with 4 dressing options that they put on the table. The shrimp was SO good. Cooked to perfection and full of flavor. I loved the tomatoes that were on the dish. It was a great combination. Drinks: The restaurant serves a selection of beer and wine. There are many options for an $8 glass. I ordered the cabernet and really enjoyed it. They give you a nice big pour! Service (5/5): A lovely man greeted us and showed us to our table. He was friendly, welcomed us, and gave us our menus. Our server was a sweet lady, very friendly and quick to get us anything we needed. I would 10/10 recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area! Such a lovely local spot.

    If you are willing to sit, relax and be patient while your food is cooked... then this is the place for you. This will be one of our regular stops when we camp at Veterans State Park. We had the onion rings for appetizer and asked for a side of ranch to dip them in. OMG they were so good. My hubby had the catfish I had the parm crusted grouper and my son had the chicken finger plate. Our meals included salads which came with 4 different homemade dressings (vinaigrette, thousand island, blue cheese and ranch). We were really pleased with the quality of the food and the service was great. BTW the hush puppies and cheese grits were awesome. TIP: call ahead and make reservations. That may be the only way you get in they are only open a few days of the week for a few hours each day.

    This place us a South Georgia institution. Opened as a restaurant in 1952, it has been a go-to place for casual dining for 64 years.

    This place was recommended to us by someone in town. It was described as a fancy place. This is not…read morea fancy place. It is a bar. However they do have good food for a decent price. Everything came out hot and fresh. We did not wait an obnoxiously long time for anything. The server was very friendly and helpful, refilled our drinks came back to check on us. I really like the way they worded something on the menu. It says that you will get a 3% discount if you use cash. Instead of saying there's a 3% up charge for using a credit card, they worded it in a more positive way.

    I was staying in Cordele and one evening I walked over from the hotel to get dinner. The restaurant…read morewas not busy; only one other table was occupied though it sounded like there were people in the bar on the other side. The dining room is cool and spacious with a black and teal color scheme and stainless steel table tops. I ordered the watermelon Mai tai since it was watermelon festival weekend and the cocktail was good. Nice strong spiced rum flavor, but not as much watermelon came through as I expected. It could have used a bigger glass, something taller, I think. For food I ordered the pasta fresco with shrimp and it included a choice of salad. I had the Caesar salad which was fine. Maybe a bit heavy on the dressing, good flavor though. My pasta was huge. I was happy with the fresh zucchini, spinach, and tomato. The spinach stems probably should have been removed; they were stringy. The shrimp was well cooked. Again this dish was heavy on the fettuccine sauce. Served very hot. The slice of garlic toast on the side was merely okay. It was too tough and didn't soak up sauce well. Also it was small. The toast was the thing I enjoyed least about the meal. My server was friendly and attentive. The food was delivered remarkably fast. All of the staff I interacted with were nice. I would eat here again, the next time I'm visiting the area.

    We at here for our grandson's 11's birthday on February 28, 2026. We arrived at 5:55 pm. We were…read morewaiting at the tables (party of 6- 4 adults, a 11year old & 3 year old. We were paying for our grandson. My daughter was paying for our grand daughter (only a drink) & her & her husband)another family of 3 arrived just a min before we gout our soup & salad. No problem.. they order & just got their soup & salad. (They were out of steak (filet only) & scallops.) well while they were eating & just finishing up, they fill up the table across from us. We are STILL waiting on food (about 25-30 minutes) . Then they ask the other table if they wouldn't mind if they cooked their food on our grill at the same time..... didn't ask us.. our 3 yr old grand daughter is potty training..we were not asked. But they just told us & said it would only be about 5-10 minutes more... NOPE!!! 20 minutes later, (almost an hour AFTER we ordered)we finally get food.. because of food allergies NOW our Son-in had to now get his food cooked in the back.. BECAUSE OF SO MUCH FOOD, there was MANY problems. 1)I have a SEVERE food allergy, he didn't put ANY sauces on my food except soy sauce. So I asked for eel sauce.. they charged me .75 for each side of the sauce dish (1.50) 2) Sauces: They didn't give any one sauces EXCEPT.. Yum Yum & ginger.. no teriyaki.. 3) Rice: He only put 5 eggs (which were brown as soon as he started mixing them up.) for 16 people in the rice that was very crunchy & didn't have enough soy sauce or butter. (On carrots, onions combo) As he gave a scoop of rice to every person. Rice was dropping on the floor. (The same for ANYTHING he had to give to the other table) 4) The vegetables: I have problems chewing so I asked for him to cook my vegetables a little more. When I got them everything was charred & crispy because he didn't add enough liquid to keep it moist. 5.) Sushi: my daughter ordered 2 rolls. She got one because they were out of the Neuro roll. (How??-) 6) MEAT: A)they didn't take tails off of shrimp. B) chicken & steaks were cut in LARGE pieces. C)My grandson 11, had to try to cut up his steak, which was supposed to be MR & was extremely rare. Mine was supposed to be M, but came out MR. The other 3 on our table, the dad asked for MW,, came out like mine, BUT his son who was supposed to be Well Done.. was REALLY over done. He couldn't eat it!! 4) Refills: you got free refills for sodas & water BUT- HOT tea.. NO. They only gave me 1/2 kettle (2 cups worth). They didn't tell me so when I asked for more... yep, they charged me for it... 5) HE DID NOT scrape the grill OR clean off the fork or spatula between the vegetables, rice, eggs, or meats.. so all teriyaki sauces & left over pieces from previous cooking (done on the same area) was still one the grill. So if I was was allergic to the sauces - which he didn't know if had tomato products in it was cooked on & given to me was on it, it would have killed me.. so I didn't eat it!! 6) We were NOT given any apologies or discount for waiting so long.. 7) Tipping: They charged us ALL 18%.for a tip!! We waited 1 hour for our food!! Our daughter was finished eating her sushi before we got our food, My daughter only ate sushi, grand daughter only a drink, & our son-in-l had to have his food cooked in the back because of the other table being cooked in the back!! & the food was AWFUL & service was so-so!! It was NOT WORTH 18%. I could give 0 stars I could!! Do NOT go here for the grill!!
