Absolutely fantastic. What a joint. It's located in what appears to be an older Victorian type home. Like walking into the 1800's. Place was humming with lots of diners but not too loud. The dining area is spread out across multiple rooms. Service was fast and friendly. I got a burger with cheese, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms and jalapeños. I actually tried to order an extra patty and it was more difficult to do than I hoped. :-) But, I got it done. The burger was cooked perfectly and seasoned well. Very tasty. I also got a side order of squash and zucchini. Damn good. Highly recommend. read more

While traveling through the area, we stopped here for lunch because of the good reviews. For the most part, Manna Cafe lives up to them. We ordered the chicken salad with bacon and lettuce on croissant. While a bit light on the chicken salad itself the flavor was very good; a perfect cold southern sandwich on a warm summer afternoon. The hand cut chips that came with the sandwich were particularly good, crispy and lightly salted. (So good we ordered some to go). The GLT (fried green tomatoes, bacon, lettuce) on croissant was tasty. The croissants were light and fresh. The fried green tomatoes were perfectly fried and lightly seasoned. While the bacon was limited to 2 slices, it added nice flavor. They offer a variety of hot and cold coffee and tea drinks. I had a hot cream based chi that was perfectly spiced. My husband had their sweet tea which was perfectly sweetened without overwhelming the tea. The service was friendly and efficient. It was a great stop. We will definitely come back. read more

food was great. be sure to ask for the special of the day. service was very attentive and prompt by very attractive locals. It looks like and old southern style house with original tiger oak fireplace mantels. read more

Finally had the opportunity to go to Manna for Dinner and try one of their dinner specials. I had the 8oz filet mignon with baked potato and asparagus for my sides. The filet was fantastic and cooked perfectly the way I wanted which was medium rare. The baked potato was perfect as well. Piping hot. I added bacon bits, cheese and sour cream to it and it melted instantly. Definitely hit the spot and great spot for dinner as well. read more

Am in central Georgia for work at the nearby hospital. For lunch almost all the physicians and healthcare workers recommend this place. It's located right off the main highway that runs thru the town and its very spacious inside with a very rustic vibe. You can seat yourself wherever and a server will come take your order. It's a nice place with a good sized menu and healthy options. I really wanted to try the soup of the day and the veggies of the day but they were all out by like 11. It's only open til 3:30 pm and looks like an awesome spot for breakfast and lunch. Food was very tasty and definitely well priced. Now their deserts looked very nice so I ended up getting one and these are a bit more expensive but well worth it! If you are in hazelhursrt or driving by , would recommend to try this place out! read more

Not sure if we just caught them on a bad day but overall this place was way below the many other 4 and 5 star reviews. As someone noted the hours on Yelp are wrong. We had the fried green tomatoes as suggested by others and found them very salty and with way too much sauce on top. I had to shrimp wrap. There was way to much sauce making it hardly eatable and I like spicy. My husband had the mushroom burger that was way over cooked and dry and the mushrooms looked canned. We thought of dessert but did not want to be disappointed further. They did not have lemon for the sweet tea. As I said, maybe it was a bad day, but as a traveler we won't be keeping this place on our Yelp favorites and will not stop here again. read more

Roast beef is way to salty when I had it made me sick. But they steaks are so good if I go again it is because of the steaks

Food, Service and Ambiance were amazing. The salad bar had all the options to eat, fruit, salad and desserts. The sirloin was tender and flavorful. Our waitress was very attentive and polite. read more

6 stars if possible. Service was excellent, menus had great variety and prices are very reasonable. I had the swamp burger and it was amazing. A little on the spicy side, but highly recommend. Health score 100!! read more

This is the second time Yelp has directed us here. It's great!! We had a delicious lunch. Only disappointment was that they were already out of soup of the day at 11:45 read more

Quick and polite service. My third time eating here. I had the taco chicken salad with jalapeño ranch and it was fantastic. I am glad this place survived covid and recommend trying it. read more

While it is clear the owners didn't splurge on appearance, this noisy restaurant in Hazelhurst, GA does offer delicious fare. The special at the "Manna Cafe" this night was Mai Mai and it was very good and thoughtfully presented, albeit pricey ($23.95) for not including a salad. They specialize in coffee and have one of those expensive machines that grinds it fresh. Mine was indeed good and something you just don't get everywhere. I can also recommend the fried mushrooms. read more

Looks delicious, but beware, their online hours are wrong. They are a breakfast and lunch place and close at 2:30pm. (Not 8:30pm) Hopefully we'll be back this way another time because it looked like a lovely menu! read more

The location is beautiful, the food is good, but beware solo diners. I was refused seating because I was a solo diner. The host informed me that he was saving his available tables for more than one guest. Very dismissive, no apology, nothing. For this reason, I will not return. read more

Wonderful place to eat!! In town for state playoffs and wanted to try a local restaurant and we were not disappointed! Turkey avocado wrap and the Manna hamburger were delicious along with sweet potato fries and homemade chips!! Wish we were closer and could come back again!! Well worth the visit! read more

It's fantastic I live it. Gay pride gay pride I'm a gay they made me feel very welcome I even got to eat with out my shirt on and breast feed my child even though I'm a guy read more

Manna Cafe is so good! You must try The Swamp Burger! This was absolutely the best burger I have ever eaten anywhere. Formerly my favorite burger came from Mythos inside of Islands of Adventure at Universal Studios Resort Florida. But The Swamp was far and above better! I cannot wait to come back and try other dishes read more

ate here just yesterday, and is definitely a place to try. Great homestyle atmosphere, great waitresses, food is unique and tasty. Refills and food come out very timely. Very pleased read more

We had the fish tacos made with mahi mahi and they were delicious as was the broccoli cheddar soup and swamp burger. The swamp burger won an award at a burger competition in Atlanta and had ghost pepper cheese, pulled pork, bacon marmalade, a patty and a really good quality bun. The service was friendly. The artwork was local and interesting. We will return. read more

A unique menu for small town south GA. Eaten there many times & never disappointed. They have great burgers. Also love their ribeye steak & fried shrimp. Don't miss the fried green tomatoes appetizer. read more

From the outside I was worried, plain metal building, the sign outside got my attention, said best burger around! I'm a sucker for a good burger, I wasn't disappointed, the hard part was figuring out how to eat it! I tried using a knife and fork., yeah I know! That didn't work so I took off my rings and went in for the kill, I probably caused great concern with the other patrons with the noises I was making, but that didn't bother me at all I was busy devouring one of the best burgers I've eaten, top 5 by far! The men's room was spotless until I went in to clean up, BBQ sauce mixed with swamp slaw juice running down my face and covering my hands, be sure to ask for extra napkins when you order the swamp burger, read more

My family was traveling from Milwaukee to Key West Fl driving down hwy 23 south. Then and our stomachs decided they where Very hungry. My wife did some Great internet searching while in the passenger seat. She stumbled on Mannas on the web. She read some reviews and we said let's stop. The building was not much to speak of. But as soon as we walked up we noticed how nice it was decorated. We went inside and to our surprise it was Very clean, decorated very nice, as well as a nice atmosphere. We all ordered something different and all where happy with the choices on the menu. When we got our food WOW. All fresh and everything was home made. After eating we ALL where Extremely satisfied, full and happy. The food exceeded our expectations! We all would recommend this place for anyone and everyone. Kc read more

This is such a great restaurant in the middle of GA it's worth going out of your way to eat here. We tried a few things nothing will disappoint you here. The swamp burger was the best burger I've ever had. We will definitely be back!!! read more

Husband and I were traveling and needed to get a bite to eat. While traveling through town we came across this great place. Being from out of town, and not familiar with the area, we crossed our fingers and hoped for the best. We were not disappointed!! Clean, friendly staff, and incredible food. The price was very reasonable. Honestly I would have paid more and have for way less quality. The presentation of the food showed pride. The burger and sweet potato fries were delicious. My husband has ordered fish tacos in many restaurants all over Savannah and the surrounding area, and was blown away by them. Best he has ever eaten. Fresh, lite and flavorful! Thank goodness we have distance between us and this great little cafe or we would be here at least 2 times a week. Great place!! read more

The food is delicious. The staff are friendly. I love to visit this place when I visit my son!

You would not expect to find a restaurant with such a gourmet vibe in a small town but here it is. I have never been disappointed with anything I have ordered. Sometimes they will run out of the specials. Once I was so impressed with the homemade Sriracha that I had to buy the whole bottle. The coffee drinks are also really good. read more

OMG this place is off the hook good!! Excellent destination for a ride and fanfrikentastic food, coffee, service, and atmosphere! Do not miss eating here!! You will not regret it. I love places that can take classics and turn the volume up to 11!! Eat here and enjoy it! read more

They know their way around a deep fat fryer. The fried squash, sweet potato fries, and home-made potato chips were all very good. And they offered funnel fries for dessert, which we declined. The grilled pork chop was flavorful and not over-cooked (thin, but not dried out). It had more garlic than my husband would have preferred, but it didn't detract too much to keep it from being enjoyed. The hamburger was disappointing. It was cooked well, but had a strange flavor. It wasn't spoiled tasting, just odd. The atmosphere is austere, but the staff is very friendly and chipper. If you are looking for a local restaurant experience in Hazlehurst, I would recommend it, but mostly if you love fried food. read more

Friend recommended today Loved the latte and the blueberry muffin! The muffin had blueberries throughout Obviously made by someone who knows how to do that And the sugar sprinkle on top was perfect as the muffin wasn't too sweet Hazelhurst is an hour away from where I live but I will find a way to stop by again Also our gentleman barista was so kind! read more

Stopped here based on Yelp reviews, and we were not disappointed. I ordered the fish tacos, my husband ordered the award winning Swamp Burger. Both were delicious, not sure which was better. We also had fries (beer battered) and House Made chips, which were both very good. Pretty sure we were the only non-locals in the place. It was pretty noisy, but we did not feel unwelcome by any means. Topped lunch off with free to go cups of iced tea. It's a bit off the beaten path, but worth the trip. read more
