    Side of biscuits with gravy ( no meat)
    Joan L.

    A small, simple breakfast diner ( definitely need some fly strips) with the potential to be amazing. Visited on our first day in Statesboro. Hubby order a side order of biscuits and gravy (meat not included) and eggs over easy with sausage patties and bacon. I ordered the fried pork chop, eggs over easy and grits with sourdough toast. We both had coffee. My pork chops was hella salty! I could be wrong but I wondered if they cook the chops in salt pork fat? It seemed to have THAT level of saltiness-unlike just over salting during prep. Eggs were great but grits also seemed well salted but I wouldn't put it into the same category as the pork chop and toast was burnt. Hubby's bacon was also hella salty and if I didn't already do my best to get through my extremely salty pork chop, I would have eaten that hella salty bacon and loved it (I love salt pork). We couldn't eat it all due to the level of salt but made an honest effort. I think this could have been an off day and we loved the simple , hometown diner experience but they truly would benefit from keeping the flies under control. I would definitely try them again , especially because our waiter was a super sweet and respectful young man. Hopefully, they will pay more attention to the salting of the food.

    This was a great breakfast and so tasty. I had a fantastic pancake with a blueberry waffle, a Spinach Turkey sausage omlette and crispy finely shredded hasbrown... Oh my!! It was so good. The service was so friendly and down to earth to make everybody feel welcome. The atmosphere was cozy that you can easily spend a couple of hours just chatting with friends in a both and enjoying some lovely meals and beverages. I would definitely recommend D's Diner to everyone. It is a Georgia Gem

    Great new find! I visited D's Friendly Diner yesterday and Man, it was great! Fantastic food with quick and friendly service. I am posting two recent pictures of the menu, because I only saw old menu pictures on Yelp. And, I should mention that the prices are great! Way more reasonable than others. Inflation is here but not so much at D's. I had the Chicken Fried Steak with gravy, two eggs, grits and toast - $8.29. Can't beat that!

    No frills. Good food. Be prepared to wait a few minutes but tables turn quickly. We had breakfast here. Would go back! My kind of place. In and out quickly for a solid meal and doesn't break the bank. Checked all my boxes. Need to try lunch next time!

    Southern diner food at its finest. The food is quickly prepared and tasty, perfect for any morning breakfast. The diner is small and can get really busy at times, but I have always had an enjoyable experience! Also, I have ordered to-go orders here multiple times during the week and it is very easy.

    This used to be Archibalds back in the day. Switched over about 15 years ago. We've seen this place…read moremany times but it was always packed. In town for FFW at GSU and saw rooftop patio looked empty so we swung on in. Not a ton of parking unless you park in lot adjacent to them. However, lots of seating options! Outdoor covered seating, rooftop covered seating and indoor. It was pretty packed down below but we grabbed 2 rooftop bar seats up top. From there, everything was perfect. Honestly, this place was the best I've eaten at EVER in the 'Boro. 5 stars on atmosphere, food, view and service. We opted for brunch menu but did the pretzel appetizer with beer cheese. The beer cheese was thicker than normal but good. I did the French toast burger with fried okra. Daaayum, tasted like a fluffy McGriddle but much larger! I could barely finish it. GET THE LEE'S SAUCE FOR DIPPING! It's like the Zax sauce but with more tang and kick. We accompanied our meal with a pitcher of electric lemonade (a Statesboro staple, going back to the days of Wild Wings & Dick's Dawg House). The entire experience was like "The Run" by AP (no, not the runs ).

    We stopped here for lunch when we first hit Statesboro…read more First, I want to say that we had our corgi with us and Gnat's Landing (haha I get the 80s tv reference) is very dog friendly. Clawdia sat at the table and the server found her a banana, her favorite treat, after the long car ride. As far as the humans go, we all enjoyed our meals as well. They have a good lunch menu and prices were reasonable for other items as well. I enjoyed the popcorn shrimp while my daughter raved about the shrimp and grits. My wife also enjoyed the mahi sandwich. Service was fast and friendly despite a large lunch crowd. We ate on the porch since it was a nice day. I never went inside the main building, but we did note that they have a lot of activities like trivia night, etc.

We promptly got sat by the lovely staff working. We sat outside, I ordered an Aperol spritz and my husband got a Bloody Mary. All of our drinks were delicious, reasonably priced. The Bloody Mary wasn't spicy (although a table next to us was complaining it was...), and the Hugo spritz was SO refreshing! They for the fresh mint from their herbs out front! Only complaint was we prefer our espresso martinis to be mostly espresso heavy, and this one was more cream heavy. We ordered the Brussels, country breakfast (subbed cheese grits instead of pancakes because we're gluten free) and got a side of fresh fruit. It was so much food. We didn't finish it all! The grits were nicely seasoned and cheesy. Brussels were super crispy and not drenched in grease or sauce. Eggs were nice and salty, potatoes were fried nicely. Everything was great. We would love to come back for lunch or dinner - especially happy hour. It wasn't too loud and we felt there was plenty of seating.

Shortly after being seated and getting our drinks we were served our dinner family style. We had dishes with fried chicken and barbecue chicken, black eyed peas, cabbage, mashed potatoes, gravy and biscuits. Everything was good, but nothing was particularly special. It was a good meal and a good price. Our service was excellent and we were quickly offered refills on anything we finished. The star was definitely the ambiance, it was such a beautiful old building!! I will definitely visit on my next visit!!!

    One of the best places in GA to eat at! Every time I go, the staff is always super friendly,…read moretalkative, and overall great. Every time I go in with my boyfriend, they know our order by heart. The food is always so good, with my favorite being the massaman curry and basil fried rice. The drinks are bomb too! The place is decorated very beautifully, I highly recommend taking some inspiration from the wall decor. I went to GSU for 4 years for my undergrad, and the last two have been spent there. If I had known about it sooner, I would've been there. Anytime someone asks where they should eat dinner that night, I always recommend Coconut Thai. They have added karaoke nights as well as college nights too! Overall, this place holds a special place in my heart, and I miss it a lot already. Everything about this place is a 10/10. After I got my undergrad degree, they gave us an ice cream to give us good faith and luck on our endeavors. This is the kind of place that I want to share with everyone.

Food was hot and fresh at pickup. That said, the Pad Thai and Pad See Ew weren't quite what I expected. They actually tasted pretty similar to each other -- mine (Pad Thai) leaned more peanut-forward and tamarind-heavy, his (Pad See Ew) was sweeter with more fish sauce. I'm used to a more orange-hued Pad Thai, but this version was darker, sweeter, and nuttier than I typically like. I did order it hot and gluten free -- appreciated that GF is an option on most dishes, or clearly labeled -- and there was some spice to it, though I could've handled more heat. The Pad See Ew was also very pale compared to the darker, soy-based sauce I'm used to at other spots. Mango sticky rice was the best part of the meal, though I prefer it with a thick coconut cream sauce on top so the rice isn't as dry -- the mango itself was great. Overall, it's fine if you just want to scratch a Thai food itch, but I've had better elsewhere and probably wouldn't go out of my way to order again.
