On the day I went the fried chicken was aggressively salted and very crispy. The food was good and staff friendly. Well, except for the woman at the cash register.

I had the Club Wrap with a salad, and my wife had the Smash Burger with pimento cheese and chicken soup. Everything was great. You order at the counter, but have full table service.

You can tell the food is home made. They had Turkey wings on the buffet today and they were really…read moregood. The stewed tomatoes and rice were great as well. Sweet tea was awesome and fresh. The food could have been a little more fresh, but it was understandable because it was very slow and they were probably in the process of switching out the food. The food was really good that I ate. I will definitely be back.

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 went for lunch when we picked up our yearly bees for our hives. We were greeted into what…read moreappeared to be a family owned business. Friendly service and very nice people. 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!!!

I ordered the three fried chicken wings, cabbage and candied yams. Everything was delicious especially the cabbage which was seasoned to perfection. The biggest surprise for me was the hoe cake which took me all the way back to my childhood days visiting my grandmother's kitchen on any given special Sunday dinner, as a stack would be placed on the table to go along with the dinner. Needless to say I enjoyed the hoe cake, you sure don't see those everyday. The service was excellent and friendly, the sweet tea was everything, I can't wait to visit Big Ma's Soul Food again.

Unfortunately there has been a significant decline in the quality of the food particularly the shrimp and crab cakes. The shrimp breading has been changed to a thicker tasteless muck from the crisp light breading similar to that found down the road at B&Js Steak and Shrimp. The crab cake appetizer was pitiful... thin and burnt. Others in our party complimented the Hamburger and the Country Fried Steak so all is not lost but if you want good fried shrimp keep driving. The service is always pretty good but the seafood has really gone downhill and I will not be back
