Barbara Dean's Steakhouse - Baxley

We enjoyed Barbara Dean's Steakhouse so much that we dined there two nights in a row! From the warm bread and cheese served as we sat down to the perfectly cooked steaks, shrimp, and grilled vegetables, everything was absolutely delicious. The Oreo pudding parfait was truly magnificent! The service was quick and friendly, and all the staff were personable and helpful. If we lived in the area, this would definitely become our go-to spot!

The price does not reflect the quality of the food. While the dishes were decent, the three types of steak served were extremely thin, and paying $50 for two people (without drinks) is truly unreasonable. This buffet should be priced at no more than $25 for two. The water had a strange taste, almost as if it were contaminated, and the waitress forgot to bring my wife the bowl of lemons she requested. Additionally, the restaurant was overcrowded and lacked variety on the buffet. On a positive note, the staff was very friendly, and the fact that they don’t serve alcohol is another point in their favor.

This restaurant is fantastic! The food was served hot, fresh, and in generous portions. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. The seafood buffet offers excellent value for the variety available. I can't wait to come back and give the cooked-at-home buffet a try next!

Our entire party of six went with the buffet. Let me assure that it does not disappoint. Just make sure that you are hungry if you get the buffet, as it is around $25. I had steak, and although I prefer rare/med. rare, and it was cooked medium, it was very tender and well flavored. The fried shrimp, fried oysters, and deviled crab were all delicious! The salad bar was well stocked and very fresh. My husband and other members of our party said the fried fish was very delicious and fried just right. We will definitely be going back!

I've driven by this place for many year's, and never tried it out, but sure wished I had checked it out before taking my Parents there for my Mother's birthday. It was extremely disappointing, the steak was greasy and gristle not just 1, but all our steaks were horrible. The atmosphere wasn't as nice as It looked to be. Our waitress, was very sweet, and knew we were not happy, and kept apologizing for the owner's...it was my bad for not checking it out before using as a special occasion. The only reason I gave 2 stars was for the waitress! I guess after 14 years of living up here, and never stopping was for good reason! Sad, but next day we cooked our own steaks, and it turned out to be a nice celebration at our home! Good Luck
