Okefenokee Restaurant

Great food. Almost like a home cooked meal. My server was nice very warm and southern. A lot of palm colored people, but that’s just fine. Senior citizens were mostly the crowd around 6:00pm dinner. It sort of gave visiting your grandparents home back in the late 90’s early 2000’s. That’s the Awesome vibe I got.

The cooks lovely demeanor and beauty makeup for any complaints that follow. The place was fairly empty on our visit during a random stop across the state line from Florida. The waitress was certainly attentive from the moment we entered and sat us quickly, anywhere we wanted to sit. We asked for recommendations and the cheese burgers were ordered. As mentioned the place was almost empty though it took somewhere between 30 to 45 minutes for the food to be produced. We specifically asked for medium to medium well burgers and you know what came out. Well done burgers...no way would we wait for them to be remade so we began to eat. The plate presentation was good, the fries looked and tasted fresh, the topping were fresh, my partner loved the choice of bread given, no complaints other than the wait and the burgers being well done. Other observations made, were the water tasted unfiltered, no hand towels in the men's bathroom and it was a beautiful GA day in the mid 90s and the inside temp was 84 degrees. The buffet was offered several times before our order was taken but there wasn't enough people eating in this restaurant to deem that option safe, either way the cook was amazing despite the wait and the overcooked patties though it was worth it, we left full in stomach and in spirit, thanks for the experience.

I recently visited the Okefenokee Restaurant at 1507 3rd St, in Folkston, GA. I had a real nice experience having breakfast at this rest. I for these just in time to get the breakfast buffet. I had a nice breakfast and my server was so nice and close to being humorous! A nice place to get that homey feeling.

Old restaurant, but it's clean and the service is stellar. THE food is GREAT down-home cooking. I highly recommend this place. I hear breakfast is outta sight but we live about 40 minutes from there and don't ever get over there early enough.

What looks like an old hole in the wall corner restaurant will surprise you once you walk inside. There's a can't miss seafood buffet awaiting. Fried fish and shrimp, peel & eat shrimp, stuffed crab, gumbo, and scallops are grab and go. If you're lucky, the smell of grilled steak will greet you in the parking lot and is available for purchase if your desire is surf and turf. Don't skip on this hidden swamp gem.

Everything was great except the white rice. I'm not sure what brand of rice it was but it was not a good quality rice. The fried chicken, fish and beef stew were excellent. All the side dishes and the salad bar were great.

Visiting from Villa Rica, GA. Found this place on Google Maps and the pictures looked good. The food selection was very good! The fried fish and chicken fingers were cooked just right. Loved all of the veggies and the salad bar. Only two things didn’t taste that great to me - the slaw and broccoli slaw. They didn’t have much flavor. But everything else was very yummy and we will definitely be back next time we come through.
