Emma's Restaurant and Lounge - Statesboro, Georgia

"Hostess instructed me I had to go to the front desk and buy a $5 breakfast ticket before I was allowed to dine..... The buffet was picked over but the cook soon had refilled most items. He was the only one that tried to attend to customers. He also offered to get me a cold apple juice. HE WAS friendly. Eggs, and bacon were very good. The "chicken" sausage was gray, rubbery and tasteless. Biscuits & gravy also rather bland. Restaurant was quiet and nice atmosphere."

"(Used to be) Great cocktails, accompanied by simple yet savory appetizers, salad varieties, entreés, and pasta. Most menu items are made to order, so variations are possible if there are any allergies or toppings that aren't wanted or that would like to be added. Spacious patio with umbrellas out back perfect for outdoor dining or an evening of liquid libations."

"If I could give ZERO stars I would. My boyfriend and I decided to go today on Valentines Day. Because Emma's is never busy and we had a movie we wanted to see at 8pm. We got there at 6:30 pm. For starters we did not have a server so the host took our orders and after an hour and a half of waiting for our food with the host checking on us ONCE and still no waiter we were told that they were out of what we ordered. Keep in mind it is 8pm at this point so not only do we not get dinner on valentines but we miss the movie because we decided since it was so late it was fine if we could just get our dinner and get home which we did not get!! He did not even offer a free meal for next time. He just simply stated "we are out of the food you ordered so if you want to leave I understand." I've worked in the food service industry and I know it isn't terribly hard to let someone know if you do not have the food they ordered right away. Especially on a holiday so we had time to go somewhere else!"

"Though I ordered out, the service was great and the meal was delicious. I was truly impressed by the way my salmon was grilled. The crispy rub on the outside was fantastic."

"Saw they had Prime rib just on Friday night so came in to try it, but they were out. Which is fine, it does say first come first serve while supplies last on the menu. We were the only customers there, so it was nice and quite. The waiter was nice, he did ask if I wanted lemon in my tea. I told him I didn't that I didn't like lemon. He said he wouldn't put it in then. There was lemon in the tea when he brought it. I order fish and chips instead and my wife the burger. I asked the waiter not to bring in tartar sauce that I didn't want it. He said, "sure I just won't bring any"...he brought tartar sauce. The food was so-so at best. The bread was dry, the hamburger dry, and the fries look like the frozen kind you can buy at Walmart. We order several drinks...they were all terrible. We left one undrunk it was so bad, tasted like bad chocolate milk. The service was good, our waiter was nice, despite being terribly forgetful. The food was what I expect from a cheap mom and pop type of business. I don't plan on coming back. Why should I? El Sombrero across the road has better food and FAR FAR better drinks for less..."
