    Taco Soup and their Club Car Sandwich
    Matthew S.

    If you plan on staying in the Folkston area, Whistlin' Dixie really is where it is at. It feels like the local corner store, where the owners know your name and you quickly feel like a regular. Inside is like a trinket store, until you see that they also serve lunch and ice cream here. If you are planning at staying at Railside Lodging, they take 10% off you bill when you eat with them. Do not take this lightly, the food is good! I ate here both my full days here and was not disappointed. The sandwiches taste fresh as do the soups. The girls that work there are cute and friendly too, in a southern kind of way. And all the customers will be kind to you as well. If you see Dixie or Jim there, even better. It is good ice cream too. I preferred the waffle cones to the milkshakes, but get some if you get the chance. Thank you to Jim and Dixie McGurn for making each lunch here a special one!

    This little all-purpose gift shop/coffee spot/ice cream parlour/sandwich spot serves its meals only on select weekdays at lunchtime. Come here on the weekend and you can try their delicious coffee drinks or get a nice refreshing scoop of their ice cream. Sometimes they have desserts you can enjoy at their wooden tables. You can also get custom framing done here and peruse the various knickknacks they have here, like tees and scarves. They are open on Saturdays, but closed on Sundays. It's always a treat to come here when I'm in the area.

    Lunch special. Vegetable beef soup, salad and quiche.Excellent.

    Nice collection of unique products, and icecream, and coffee. It' a wonderful little nostalgia stop.

    The perfect stop for lunch or coffee if you're in Folkston! I also get my prints framed here. Great quality and even better service

    I was on my motorcycle traveling from Ft Eustis Virginia to Tampa Florida on my way home and came through Folkston Ga., around lunch time.

    CHICKEN, breaded and fried, perfectly golden brown and juicy. Our favorite!! We drive 45 to 50…read moreminutes each way to eat here, and we are rarely disappointed. There is comfort and consistency here, awesome aroma inside, and just a darn fine casual dining experience. This is the chicken hole-in-the-wall you're looking for. Superb! The restaurant features many options for chicken - 3 pc, 5 pc, 9 pc, 12 pc, and more. Sides are typical, but the COLESLAW is the best anywhere and made in-house. Also, besides chicken, there are many other southern things on the menu. PORK CHOPS are always large, nicely battered, and perfectly fried. The food does vary sometimes due to how busy they get, but it's never BAD. So your pork chop could be a bit more cooked than at other times. But it's always SUPER TASTY. I usually eat 1 or 2 pieces of chicken AND one pork chop. Taking out? Yes please! They have a drive-up window. Grab a meal and then go around the corner and sit on the train-watching platform at the famous "Folkston Funnel" where the majority of Florida train traffic passes through on their way in and out of the state. There are usually 3 or 4 chairs on the platform, and benches out front, plus picnic tables and at least one stand-up charcoal grill. Or go 10 miles down the road and visit the picnic area at Okefenokee Swamp and Wildlife Refuge. ($5 per vehicle entry fee) Service at Quick Chic is always friendly, but turnover behind the counter is high. Folkston is a small town of around 5000 people, and staffing the restaurants in town is a challenge for everyone, it seems. Ambiance is casual - this is not a fancy place, so come as you are and don't worry about anything except for the excellent chicken. The dining room is always squeaky clean! They do a great job making you feel comfortable, and cleanliness is a big part of that. Fountain drinks recently switched to Pepsi, and we're not fans, so we drink water or iced tea when visiting. This restaurant is a must-do if you're into fantastic Southern food items, especially fried chicken and pork chops.

    Food is awesome, the Servers are phenomenal: 3 And it's very…read morenice inside! I definitely recommend this restaurant

    Quick Chic - Pork Chops!  Almost as big as the plate in the foreground. The other two were small - by my wife's request.  Typically they are huge!
