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 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!!!

Steffens Diner has been on my radar for a while. Living in Callahan, Friday date nights with my…read morewife can be challenging when restaurant options are scarce and repetitive. Opening Yelp, I check the list of saved restaurants, and my wife points out this place. I mean, 4.9 stars with 525 reviews, and the Google rating is 4.6 with 3450 contributions. One would think with all those stars, you'd be guaranteed a great experience. That, of course, may end the evening with "brown chicken, brown cow." We arrive, and immediate retro-dinner vibes set in. As we walk past the back door into the kitchen, we see two small, well-used smokers. My first thought was, "Whatever gets the job done." I know I have turned out many great cuts of meat from mine. Next, I notice an older woman struggling to smoke a cigarette, hacking away; it was a clear sign she should quit. We walk into the restaurant, and the retro vibe continues, from the old diner seats and tables to the music playing from the ceiling speakers. Being a car guy, I liked the row of model cars above the bar, but they could use a feather duster or a Swiffer. One word of caution: if you are heading to the restrooms, be aware of the sudden change in floor elevation; there is no warning, and a trip-and-fall is possible. The first waitress comes over after we're seated; she looks like she had a rough day, judging by the leftover food on her black shirt. At least the table was clean and well-designed. Turning to the reviews, the highlighted items are fried chicken, country fried steak, and a few others. The menu offers some unexpected options, like crab-stuffed cod and beef bourguignon, demonstrating nice variety. We started by asking what their top-selling items were; they mentioned fried chicken and country-fried steak. Feeling adventurous, I chose the beef bourguignon, and my wife went with the crab-stuffed cod. We began with jalapeño poppers, which looked great when they arrived. Ignoring the caution, I took the first bite and immediately realized how hot they were, temperature-wise, as the filling blistered my mouth. The flavors were good, and the fresh jalapeño peppers were crunchy rather than soft. If this were an indication of how the rest of the meal is going to go, the "made fresh every day" motto displayed would be a treat. Well, except for setting caution aside for the hot items. Our dishes arrived, and the presentation was decent. My wife's dish looked good, but my beef bourguignon seemed very old and overdone. We said grace and started eating; well, so much for that "it's made fresh every day" motto. If mine were made fresh, the chef would likely have killed it twice. The chew of the first bite was so dry and long that it could have made Wrigley's gum proud. It took me back to my high school days when Hubba Bubba bubble gum first appeared. (Yes, I am that old.) I tried to push through it, hoping for a moist bite and those seasonal flavor notes; alas, they never came. The flavor profile was missing Rosemary and bold red-wine notes. Julia Child would be rolling over in her grave. I grabbed a piece of the cornbread that came with our selection to dip into Aujour. Well, you would have to question whether anyone tastes the items before serving them? A box of Jiffy Cornbread mix has more moisture and texture. It was something with the biscuits. There was still flour on the putter surface of the biscuits. Our server came by to check on us, and we didn't hold back our disappointment. She went to the kitchen, apparently took a piece, and confirmed it wasn't good. She then said she would comp the meal and offered to replace it with anything I wanted. Just then, my wife reacted after her second bite of the crab-stuffed codfish. It turns out she had a piece of crab shell lodged between her gums and a tooth, which was very painful--way worse than biting into a popcorn shell. Once it was removed, she managed to get a few more bites in before CRUNCH!!--another shell. By this point, the experience had fallen short of what we had seen in the reviews. The server returned and asked if we were interested in dessert. We agreed on a slice of Limoncello cake. When it arrived, it looked amazing again, but the first bite told the story. This was supposed to be Limoncello, and it was clear that the lemon had left the chat... I was thankful for the extra lemon I ordered for my sweet tea; once a squeeze of lemon juice was added, the chat was revived. Before completely passing judgment, we would like to experience breakfast. As much as the reviews raved about the menu items, I'll keep my opinion until then

When we pulled into the parking lot only 1 hr after opening it was packed!! went in put my name on the list less the 15 mins we were seated and greeted! They have specials which change daily , today they had pork chops added to the buffet.Salad bar was amazing .And the chicken they have both baked and fried. Shrimp wasnt over breaded, matter of fact all the fried foods were perfectly seasoned and lightly breaded. The waitresses were all very friendly and came by and checked on us regularly, and refilled our sweet tea. Even the dessert bar was amazing , peanut butter cookies were so soft and my favorite. I only wish i took more pictures of food, next time!! It is only about an hour from Gainesville, nice relaxing drive and worth it!!

In my ongoing quest to try different places in the regional area, I took a motorcycle ride out to…read moreBranford to try out Sister's Cafe. The ride out there was pleasant, a nice ride out on US-27 then a bit of maneuvering through Branford to get to the cafe. Pulling into the parking lot, it was somewhat busy as the church crowd had just gotten out and they were there for a nice Sunday lunch as well. Inside, I found there to be a couple of different dining areas, and I was escorted to a table tucked away in a corner, which was fine by me. My drink order was taken, and then it was time to hit the buffet! I always walk the entire line of the buffet first before I actually start filling up a plate... this allows you to formulate a plan of what you would like to eat and there won't be any surprises of "ooh, I would love to try that, but my plate is already full!" The food is good here, and the fried chicken is excellent. They also have a baked chicken which I enjoyed, and the steak fritters were decent as well. Sadly, I found the mashed potatoes to appear to have come from a box, and the hushpuppies seemed too... fluffy? Yeah, that is the best word I can use to describe them. The shrimp were decent as well. The biggest disappointment I had was with the mac and cheese... it was gritty, and I feel like the cheese had separated. Not a good dish at all. All in all, I found the food here to be pretty good, the service was fine, and I had a good meal. I won't necessarily make the trip specifically to go here again, as it is a good 45 minutes from home, but it is certainly a place that is on the radar if I find myself in the area and hungry.
