Steffens is the real deal. I drove from Amelia Island for the southern delicacies and was not disappointed. Chicken and dumplings were the day's special and that most comfortable of comfort foods filled me up. Of course I can't forget to mention the mac and cheese, collard greens bc Georgia, a biscuit AND cornbread. Heck yes! My questions were all answered by the friendly server who happened to be behind the counter when I sat down. I wasn't in her station, but she was extremely helpful and took her time with me, even coming back later to make sure her recommendations worked out. There's a big menu with breakfast available all day. It's cute and clean, a classic diner vibe, and the prices are very affordable. Thanks for the southern hospitality! read more

Steffens Restaurant - Diners Near Me - Kingsland, Georgia

Fun, nostalgic 50's diner brings fresh local ingredients to breakfast offerings. An unassuming spot in rural southern Georgia was a great surprise. Clean, friendly and great food in a walk back in time. Locals know this spot well and for breakfast lovers, this place doesn't disappoint. We arrived at 9:30 on a Wednesday and it was packed shortly thereafter. Great spot for a lovely morning drive near St. Mary's river, farm land and wetlands. read more

We have been going here regularly since moving to Florida. It's worth the 30 minute drive. Convenient parking Good, fresh food. Excellent service. read more

Here's the scoop! We're headed home on I-95 and we needed to have breakfast. Our biggest problem is finding a restaurant that has parking for our 30 ft RV. So I let my Yelp App guide me to this old fashioned adorable southern restaurant. The place was packed to the gills'. All of the help were so nice, from the greeter, to the man who cleaned off a table for us, to the young lady that gave us menus and coffee and finally to our server Brittany! She took our orders, refilled our coffee cups, got Dave ice water and hot sauce! I ordered the western omelet which was loaded with ham and fresh veggies. I had cheese grits that were super creamy and cheesy, and an English muffin that Dave devoured. Even that tasted delish, maybe buttered and fried? Sometimes it pays to go off the beaten path to the road unknown! Best part was that I shared my breakfast with my little girl Freckles! read more

Traveling I-95 south in a Class C This "find" was a welcome alternative to highway fast fare. Just 3 miles to BETTER! Hospitality, ambience, food, affordability, menu variety and good service. On a Sunday at 10am it was packed. The hostess had us seated after a short wait and the manager cleaned the tables. Coffee (good) immediately! Brittany showed up quickly and orders placed. 7 minutes wait time with a full house- real good. My scrambled eggs were just right. My wife Judy's omelette was over sized. Not jealous but I will remember next time we purposely return. Bacon was crispy and the cheesy grits outstanding. $29.16 + tip. An Off-95 bargain. read more

I can't believe we've not been here before! The food was amazing, the prices very reasonable, and the service fast and friendly. They served our large party of mostly Yankees (this Georgia gal being the exception) with diplomacy , kindly explaining what hush puppies and grits were.

Steffens is an absolute "backwater" gem. Continues to shine on our "go to" list for country cooking. Everything is always hot and cooked to order. Don't forget to save room for their hukcleberry ice cream. The epitome of classic, old school diner dining. read more

We found Steffens when we looked on Google Maps for a place to eat. They are off the beaten path that we normally travel but oh so worth the find. When we pulled up you knew how good they much be the parking lot was packed and this was just a Monday about 12:30 pm. We found a place to park and went inside, we waited about 10 minutes to be seated, so worth it. Busy busy place. Our waitress came and took our drink orders as we still wanted to decide from the menu, she came back and we ordered. My daughter and I got liver and onions, she got the greens and macaroni and cheese and I got mashed potatoes and creamed corn. The mashed potatoes are real and the creamed corn is homemade. All of it was oh so good. He got biscuits and gravy and pancakes, they tasted like grandmas house. Everything was oh so good. The waitress was amazing kept our glasses full and came by often to see if we needed anything. Portions are not small which made him happy. Inside the restaurant are many old picture's and lots to see just an overall great experience. This was our first time there and we will be back. read more

Steffens Restaurant - The table top was so cool - Diners Near Me - Kingsland, Georgia

It's good and it has such a wonderful variety of good ole, southern food options. I'm especially glad that they offer canned drinks because the sulfur taste from Brunswick is overwhelming but that's the worst thing I could say about this absolutely charming restaurant. When you think of Woodbine, Steffens 's restaurant is at the top of the list as to why it's such a great place to live. Fried green tomatoes, cream, corn, pinto beans, cheese, the list goes on and on ! read more

Vintage style family owned restaurant for sure. The reviews for the fried chicken is what brought us. We decided to share a four piece meal. They definitely give you plenty of food. For me, the Mac and cheese was bland and a little dry. The fries were over done but the fried chicken and potato salad were amazing. I do love some good cornbread that doesn't fall apart when you put butter on it. Our waitress was super cute and friendly. read more

It's only 252 miles from our house in St. Petersburg, Fl to Steffens in Kingsland, Ga. The drive is worth it just for the collard greens. Sweet, a hint of heat, pork pieces, some stems (meaning these are the real deal). Best I've had since Elliot's mom taught me how to make greens back in 1978. We ate here twice in the last week. Once on the way to Durham. Once on the way back home. Fried chicken crispy and moist. Liver and Onions amazing. The beef tips in bourbon sauce was fantastic! Asked how I wanted them. Medium rare I said, hopeful but not really expecting anything. They were done absolutely perfect to my taste of medium rare. Pink center, tender, juicy, tasty. Not over-sauced with the bourbon sauce. Just the right amount of one tasty sauce to compliment the already delicious tips. Wow! Real home made mashed potatoes (pieces of potato in there just the way I like it). Fried okra. Amazing. Hush puppies with onion! We'll be back even if it is a four hour drive! read more

My husband and I stumbled upon this little country diner, and what a delightful surprise it was! Established in 1948, this quaint spot exudes charm from the moment you step through the door. We were lucky to get a table shortly after arriving, and the friendly service made us feel right at home. I ordered Steffen's Benedict, which featured real country ham, eggs, smothered in peppered sausage gravy, topped with crispy fried green tomatoes. Each bite was a perfect blend of flavors! My husband enjoyed home fries with sausage and biscuits and gravy, which he loved just as much. A comforting Southern classic. The atmosphere felt so hometown, with the warmth of friendly conversations all around and the enticing aroma of delicious food. If you're in the area, don't miss out on this hidden gem. We'll definitely be back for more of their comforting dishes! We even took desserts home for later ! read more

So lucky to have found this place, thanks to Yelp. Serving sizes are so large and generous, and real good. Tip: when ordering bread, get the cornbread because although the hush puppies are good, they're small and you get only three or four of them. Chicken pot pie a little runny but good, and served with a spoon. Fried okra real good, sweet potato fries a little soft. Fried chicken livers a little over cooked. read more

Steffan's was everything we had hoped for after a 12 Hour drive from the North East, it was a beautiful small community and it seemed like everyone in town was at the restaurant eating with us and it was a lovely bunch of folks. They really hustle in that restaurant the line of people is always forming and the food is a flashback to days by gone. Everything homemade fresh ice cream nothing from a can or jar. For entrées we ordered catfish and country fried steak with brown gravy . For sides there was fried okra & corn fritters of some kind which I thought were exceptional. The Black Eyed Peas were amazing - like I had never tasted before. There were biscuits cornbread hush puppies served right at dinner which was a nice touch. I heard it's the best place in town to eat but the town is pretty small a great stop if you're traveling down 95 to Florida. Last exit in Georgia before the Florida border. read more

Stopped here in Georgia while on the road to Florida for business. Just a little off the beaten track is Steffens. A local favorite for the folks in Kingsland, Georgia since 1948. Great food, great service. All the folks are super friendly and hard working. Locals too! A real slice of America. I had a Patti melt on marble rye with Swiss cheese and grilled onions with a side of local collard greens. Everything they serve is home made, fresh and good. Ever find your self in beautiful Kingsland, this is the spot! read more

Talk about a DIAMOND in the rough!!! This place was AWESOME! I happen to stumble upon this place with family after taking a ride on the Saint Mary's railroad out of Kingsland on their Easter train ride with the kiddos. The thought of a diner after a train ride for lunch sounded great. We pulled up to the place and it looks very small from the outside but when you get inside, it's hard to wrap your mind around. How much is inside there when you look at it from the outside. We were quickly able to secure a big table for a party of 8. After briefly looking around and glancing at the menu this place screams old school 60s and 70s diner. The food is true southern style grub. When you have to wait 20 minutes for them to fry chicken the right way you know you're at a good southern cooking establishment. I tried to order something off of the daily special menu the "Country PBT with eggs" however it was sold out by the time I showed up. So I opted for the fish and grits. The order came with a selection of cod, whitefish or catfish. I opted for the cod, blackened, and the fish when it arrived had so much flavor. I just put it on top of my grits and mixed it all in and it tasted heavenly. The food at this place, reminds me of another establishment that I went to up in Wrens, GA - called: Peggy's. (You can look them up on yelp.) Just like there, Steffens did not disappoint with the southern cooking. We didn't have time for ice cream maybe next time and we will definitely be back at this location again because we ride the Saint Mary's Railroad quite frequently. I can't remember our servers's name but she had to have been in her late 40's and to hear her say that. she's been working at the same restaurant since she was 14 years old is definitely something to be proud of. **Overall, I highly recommend this place over all other chain local restaurants. You will not be disappointed. This is a true gem in south eastern Georgia not to be missed.! read more

I am so glad we met a little angel in Kingsland that told us to check out Steffens. We got there around 11:30 which ended up being crucial to beat the crowd! Clean little establishment with maybe 15 tables and a bar. Our hostess was lovely and our waitress was excellent. She helped us decide between chicken and waffles (one of my favorites) and chicken biscuits and gravy. She talked me into the latter. We had been tipped off before coming that the French toast is really good. I think the 4 biscuits came with my partner's Porkchop plate but they came out first. We ate these with honey and butter. Apple butter and jelly also available at the table. The meals were great. Good ole Southern Cooking! I got a water. We heard the sweet tea was great but my partner said it was okay. Maybe not a MUST. I got the chicken biscuits with gravy which was all I should've eaten. In retrospect, we went way too carb heavy. Some vegetables would have been nice lol. Live n learn! Next time!! read more

Great food and great service ! The chilli is the bomb ! I will definitely eat here again

Ordered an egg breakfast w bacon, grits, coffee and biscuits. The plate was filled w food which was good! Eggs done right, grits were tasty, 3 bacon strips a bit crunchy and on the small and thin side. The biscuits were not good. Had to "saw" my way through them to split in half and they were not flakey! More like a miniature bread loaf, but, biscuit size! I'd order toast if I ate here again. (Just passing thru town). They did have real butter which was a plus and coffee refills pretty frequent. Prices were not too expensive either! read more

Good and service was amazing! They have a lot of regulars and I can see why! The pancakes are huge and chicken fried steak was amazing!

I've lived in this general area most of my life and had never been to Steffens before yesterday. Reminded me of a favorite place I used to frequent during my college years in Statesboro, GA, which I loved. Steffens was great. Southern tradition type place. I had a seafood plate with fried shrimp, gator tail, hush puppies, corn & green beans. More than I could eat. Highly recommend. read more

The perfect stop on the road from Jacksonville to the Golden Coast, Steffens will make you glad you decided to vacation in the South. Our meals were so good we stopped by on our return too. Highlights included: Biscuits- get them and extra to go! Chicken and waffles Chicken and biscuits Fried chicken Gator bites Fried green tomatoes Sweet potato soufflé Collards Potato salad Banana pudding Pecan pie The service was quick and very kind. One of our servers promptly refilled our drinks and packed up our leftovers with extra details, and the other snagged the final biscuits of the day for us. The bill was very reasonable. Only thing I didn't love was the fried chicken livers but that may be a misalignment with my expectations. Go and enjoy! read more

Traveling from NC to FL and wanted a sit down meal to give us a break from the car. I used Yelp and found this gem! Everything you read is spot on! We had the fried chicken and the chicken and dumplings - yum! Each meal came with 2 sides of your choice and 2 biscuits. Onion rings and sweet potato fries were crispy. Hubby got the mashed potatoes and corn nuggets. The serving size was generous and we had plenty to take with us for a snack later. And to top off the experience, the waitresses were delightful. Chatty and friendly, but efficient. They made great recommendations when we asked questions. Our glasses were kept full and they checked on us several times to see if we needed anything else. Take a break from I-95 and travel the 2 miles for a home cooked treat while traveling! read more
