“10 STAR EXPERIENCE!!!!”
When my husband and I knew we'd be staying in the Darien area for our 40th anniversity,we started checking out all the available resturants for our celebration. We had spent the day in the HARRIS NECK REFUGE, and planned on just riding by OLD SCHOOL DINER to check it out,and,maybe, come back for a later visit.As soon as we drove in and saw the place we were HOOKED! And when Chef Jerome came outside to welcome "the family",we said "Lets go for it.." All thoughts of eating in a "fancy"resturant went out the window.Funky,Quirky-call it what you will.It was the best food,and the kindest staff we've ever encountered.Our Shrimp creole would rival anything in New Orleans, and the hushpuppies were the best we've EVER had. Our waitress ,Mary, was so attentive,and the ETTA JAMES CD that Chef put on just topped off our evening.We liked it SO much that we went back a second night-with the same great results. This time I had fried shrimp and awesome Mac and Cheese.Chef Jerome, his lovely wife,'Retta and his great staff deserve a standing ovation-or two.

Dear Chef Jerome,
I visited your restaurant on Saturday, September 7 with three of my coworkers and I am proud to tell you that that was the best seafood dinner I have had since I have been in Georgia for the past six years. I always bragged about the seafood in Alabama, that is where I am from until I came to The Old School Diner. I will be glad to let everyone I know that they must go and visit your diner soon.
Your New Loyal Fan,
Latisha
P.S.
I will be back this month with my husband to celebrate our late anniversary.

Dear Chef Jerome,
Just wanted to say how much we enjoyed our visit this past weekend. The atmosphere was so relaxing and unique. The plentiful Wheelchair platter was the best. Thank you for the personal welcome, it made us feel at home. We
will be back again real soon.

I have visited the Old School Diner it was the dining experience of dining experiences. Chef Jerome is real. I admit that at first glance I looked at the party I was with and said There is no way I am going in that place and you guys are talking about eating there. And much to my surprise the experience was amazing as was the food and the atmosphere. I agree just "trust your chef." I have talked about the Old school Diner to friends and family. I have never been to a place where though I am quite sure busy the chef comes out to personally take pictures with and greet the customers or "family" as Chef Jerome says. Chef Jerome is truly an inspiration too those who he has shared his story.

We visited for the first time last night for a birthday dinner for my sister who recently lost her husband. I can't even describe the food or the experience. I don't know whether to tell everybody or try to keep you to myself! You are by far the best kept secret ever!

Dear Chef Jerome,
It was a bit of a challenge for us to find your place but the meal made all the effort more than worthwhile. The dining experience was great and we loved it. We're recommending as many people as we can who visit the area to stop by.
Thanks again!
