Sunday brunch is the bomb!! Southern buffet that includes breakfast items. 6 or 7 meats, multiple vegetables, the cheesiest mac, shrimp and grits, prime rib as rare or cooked as you prefer, awesome croissants, and to finish it off? Peach cobbler with the perfect crust. Oh, and a salad bar if you lik...
Wonderful place!! Food was so so good, they have the best steaks in the world no doubt!!
Bennies has potential.....but.......
Today when I went, the air conditioning was not working..... it was HOT!
I was part of a very large group, @25, but we had called ahead and made reservations. We got there when they opened, and other business was slow, but it still took a REALLY long time for o...
Attended a large private party we are from out of town. My apologies I don't recall his name but the male bar tender/manager was EXTREMELY nice. They served us great food and drinks all night. Beautiful location with a great vibe. Good people. Good food. Good times. Thank you to the staff there.
It was definitely the spot to be saturday night on SSI!!
The waiter forgot my appetizer order which was my meal, charged to plate share and when told to bring me the check handed it off to my father. I was not at all happy with the service. My mother ordered the fried chicken and the breading was bland as far as taste went but the chicken itself was very...
Black guy won t quit singing while I m eating... bread is best item
Not sure what all the rave was about. It was "ok". Nothing that Golden Corral doesn't have.
Always good. Great Service, Great Steaks, Don't forget to have a Raccoon for dessert.
Consistently, one of the best places to eat on the island. Great steaks, seafood and surprisingly, some of the best fried chicken around.
Yum. Yum. Yum. What else is there to say? Delicious.
My Father has been coming here for 10 years and has always raved about Bennie's Red Barn. We came here for vacation and he decided to take us out. However this review is invalid as we were not even acknowledged by any of the servers. After 30 minutes we still had not even got our drinks. We told a...
Been a bunch of times and most of the time it exceeds our expectations. Steaks are really good.
Food was good. Wait staff good. No subs on dinners (eg, veggie instead of potato). Salad comes with each meal, but only with oil/vinegar. Place fills up fast. Reservation recommended. Medium pricey.
Service, atmosphere, decor, and the food...so great!
For sure one of the best dining experiences on SSI. They specialize in steaks however, their fried chicken is to die for.
Busy. service fair. Food old southern cooking good.
Perfect...steak, lamb chops, pork chops and shrimp! Wait staff are amazing and very attentive
Awesome Live Band Great friendly and family place. Food was awesome !
Food is fantastic. Except for the desserts. My one companion had a pecan pie, warmed. It wasn't good. I had the kahula ice cream with whipped cream & cherry. It was so gross I almost vomited. I was so disgusted I forgot to have them take it off the bill. Don't get dessert!
Hostess was wonderful.

Great time, if you go to the Island you have to go here. The trees in the bar are awesome and if you catch on a full moon like I did a great photo opt.
I've been to the Sunday buffet twice. Excellent food and service. Very friendly staff. Roomy, clean, and well organized. Big variety to choose from. I'll definitely be back soon.
The restaurants food was amazing but the service was terrible! I have never been to a resturaunt with a worse service! First when we got in the resturaunt we got waited to our table and then all of the waiters forgot about our table and we were there for 45 minutes until somebody actually came and a...
A friend turned me on to this place and we all went right after my wedding. The food was not bad but the service was subpar! We sat in a very dim section having to use our phones to read the menus and it took 45 minutes for the meal to arrive. I know this place has been here awhile and gets good rev...
We chose this restaurant based on Google reviews and recommendations at our condo. The building was cute and staff was nice. However, management has the servers acting quite pretentious considering what food they serve. The shrimp cocktail was warm and resembled something thawed out of a grocery sto...
Food was superb. The ribeye is the best I have eaten.
I ve been here to celebrate my 17th birthday, my Mom s birthday and recently my graduation dinner. It s never a disappointment plus the food is outstanding.
Amazing food with a great history behind the establishment.
Alright, y'all need to check out Bennie's Red Barn every Thursday night. Free fish fry tossed salad hush puppies And the amazing cheese grits. It's really good. Every Thursdays eat as much as you want. And they have a dance floor. Oh my gosh. They even have dance classes for everyone. Just get out t...
Great night out. Friendly fast service. Nice having music with dinner. Get there early. Known for their steaks. The seafood we ordered was not the best we had on the island.
We haven t been there for several years until last night and the quality of food has gone way down as far as I m concerned in some things. My wife got the ribeye which was actually very good. I will give credit where credit is due but I had a seafood platter with a vegetable medley. Nothing special ...
Absolutely unprofessional I get they were busy how are you going to put me and my partner on an aisle row and have nowhere for me to put my baby and when ask to be seated somewhere else you tell us we have to wait till someone gets up when there were quite a few available places. So unprofessional a...
I m from Florida visiting Saint Simons Island
And we stopped by this place super hungry
First of all the place is nice and the staff is amazing, we came towards the end of their lunch time, my girls were hungry and they invited us in anyway. The food was absolutely top notch, after lunch they even...
Loved my first experience! ! Will definitely come again.
Casual atmosphere w/fireplace. Good all American
food. Steaks, seafood, Sunday
Buffet.
Bennie's was highly recommended and we're glad we went!
Very good dinner, live entertainment from the staff. Unfortunately usually very packed and the restaurant is rustic. Have ate here multiple times and will continue to come back.
It was very nice, the food was good and atmosphere was great.
Great ambience. We went for Sunday brunch. Drove for two hours. First time here. It will be our last time. HORRIBLE COLD NASTY TASTING FOOD. I'd rather kill mysek f than eat here again.
Great atmosphere besides unfriendly bartender in main dining area, thankfully it was saved by waiter James and house entertainer!
An institution full of tradition. Wonderful service and dining. Remember to make reservations!
Great steaks and service casual atmosphere great band in the bar area.
Food was good. Limited Menu (one page). But they're hot fresh rolls are To Die For! Couldn't stop eating them.
Are here with a party of 14. Food was good, steaks need to be seasoned a little more (I'm honestly not sure there was even any salt/pepper on them). Service was good overall. Not sure they handled a large group the best. Many times they would tell one end of the table something but not the other end...
I have been eating here for over 50years and it's still a great place to bring your wife meet friends and have an outstanding meal.
This is local hangout boasts the best atmosphere on the island, huge steaks, delicious seafood and the best service on the island. The "Club" is a dance bar right next door that has two bars, an outside fireplace and a dance floor boasting live bands and or a DJ Thursday thru Sunday. Sunday is Reg...
Good employees and very friendly. Got a chance to know the servers and crew.
Not a good experience. The salmon was fishy, we sent it back and the steak had no taste.
I expected this place to have a great steak, considering many people kept telling me to try it. Once I did, I was let down. The steaks here are comparable to the backburner steaks at Logan's Roadhouse or Outback Steakhouse. The steak was barely seasoned and was dry, also overcooked. The waiter/waitr...
OMGOSH! What a great steak! Everyone was so friendly and accommodating! The seafood was delicious and the dessert was as well. It's a little dark inside but the food was so good, and their sweet tea was the best I've ever had, next to my grannys!
Wife, daughter, granddaughter, and I went to the Red Barn a couple of nights ago. My daughter drives up from Jacksonville on occasion just for this destination. My wife and I (from West "by God" Virginia) were staying on Jekyll Island and had never been to the Barn. My daughter and I had a top sirlo...
Had three separate locals recommend. Made reservations for 8:30 PM on 12/24/18. Restaurant was packed atmosphere seemed great.
Placed order with waiter, explain a simple dietary request, two ribeyes medium well, no baked potatoes, switch to simple green vegetables.
Both steaks came, one was perfec...
Hosted a wedding reception here, owner, and managers were great, bent over backwards for us, and ensured the bride and groom were well taken care of.
Outstanding service, amazing hostess, and food that I would kill for. I live 4 hours away and will be coming back for another steak. Best steak ive ever eaten and ive eaten alot of steaks. Only wish I could give more than 5 stars
Incredible food
Awesome staff.
Food was good but not great, prices are high but if you have someone special it does have a nice atmosphere.
We waited an hour and a half for bad food and rude service they were being especially rude to my mom I will not be coming here ever again
The food was good but service sucked. Never have I been to a restaurant where I felt my money wasn t any good. If you only want to cater to people of st Simon, then make it a private club. First time there to celebrate Valentine s Day and my husbands birthday. Never again will I set foot in that pla...
Great environment and scenery. Fries were barely luke warm, and the house said consisted of to cut pieces of a tomatoe and iceberg, that's it. Steak was good and prepared properly but nothing standing out from any other steaks I've had. Steak wasn't very tender either. Looked like a fun place, bu...
We had a memorable anniversary here. The food was delicious and the staff were great.
The atmosphere is as wonderful as the food and service. We Love this place.
Seafood platter, broiled, was terrible. No seasoning, tasted freezer burned, over cooked until rubber, oysters had sand in them.
