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.

But unlike last time the dude at the bar charges me for the freaking bread, WTF. Last time I was there they didn't charge for the bread so I had to redo my score to a 3 just so it hurts you a little bit. Look man I don't make a lot of money I'm not on vacation 15 bucks for lunch is a lot for me, and you charged me for the fricking bread. Oh yeah and on your website says the soup is $10.95 and you charged me $11.95 and $1 for the bread that's why you got a lousy 15% tip. I would've tipped you 30% I get it, if I would ask for extra bread you could charge but what if I didn't even like that pumpkin bread man if you're gonna charge for the bread then say hey what would you like in your basket since I'm gonna charge you. Well I won't be coming back again either forget the shrimp and grits I'm over it. G

This is a great value if you are a big eater and care more about quantity versus quality and taste…read more However my wife is a very small eater and I don't eat as much as I used to so the value for us wasn't as great. With the mixed reviews, we knew were were in for a great meal or a bad one, we were not expecting anything in between. It clearly leaned toward the later. The cleanliness of the dishes were hit in miss. You could pick up a plate or fork and it would have dried food on and so you go get another. The restaurant itself is very large and looks really nice. We were very happy with the service provided to us. The best thing on the menu was the fried pork chop, fried chicken, and mashed potatoes. OK as long as she's had plenty of sauce, but I didn't see the fried ribs they were talking about that I was looking forward to trying. The fried shrimp was popcorn shrimp and wasn't great and they didn't offer fish this night or at least we didn't see it. Most if not all the vegetables were cold and had little flavor. The worst dish by far was the fried Okra. One bite and I was done From the dessert bar I enjoyed the banana pudding and had two helpings. The wife thought the pecan pie was pretty good. She absolutely hated the lemon meringue pie which was grainy in texture an overly sweet. And both of us thought the coconut cream pie was not good at all. Again if you're a big eater and you like quantity and lots of options, this place is perfect for you but for us it's not a good deal.

This is a buffet restaurant that has many choices of meats, salads, veggies and desserts. I started with a salad that was fresh and good dressing. Next I tried the collards, mashed potatoes and fried chicken. I was disappointed with the chicken but everything else was good. My next trip there was shrimp out which is why I came. I got boiled and fried and both were delicious. Desserts were just average or below average, so nothing to recommend. The place was clean but it took a long time for the tables to be cleared. My waitress was seldom seen and I had to ask others for assistance a few times. Overall a good lunch but the service was lacking.

Beef brisket, pulled pork, Brunswick Stew, and collard greens. The meat was on white bread. The brisket was excellent. The pulled pork was a tad dry. The hot BBQ sauce was very good. The place was hopping. Lots of character. They have a gift shop next door. Shirts, hats, pimento cheese, stickers, and more. You've got to try this place! You won't leave hungry.

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!

When I had a work trip for Jacksonville, I asked both my boss who was from Jacksonville and the…read moreoffice employees where they'd recommend to eat; this location was overwhelmingly suggested. Many recommended oxtails, which I had never tried since I've eaten mostly vegetarian for 10+ years of my life. My doctor has suggested reintroducing some meat to see how I can tolerate with digestive disorders, so I figured give this location and oxtails a chance! For lunch one day, another coworker who traveled from Phoenix with me decided to go to lunch here. She ordered the daily special meatloaf with collared greens and said they were pretty average. She previously had someone bring in lunch from this location, and she remarked the pork chops were very delicious. Likely a case of ordering the wrong item; as another coworker mentioned the baked chicken wasn't that spectacular. What I've learned? When you dine soul food, you don't mind calories. My oxtails were delicious and fell off the bone. It reminded me of pot roast on the flavor and tenderness. Very hearty and filling. I also had the mac n cheese, which to be expected from a soul place, was divine! I found myself wishing I didn't go with a vegetable (broccoli) and did double Mac n cheese. Food for thought for a next visit if I'm sent to Jacksonville again for work as this location is only about 6 miles from the hotel/work office. If you are looking for soul food, give this location a try. It is styled like a cafeteria for lunch, so we didn't find the ambiance as relaxing as other places we went. The staff was pretty friendly and appreciate them offering a side recommendation, though shocked they said broccoli or corn as their favorite. Nonetheless, a great soul food stop if you are in the mood.
