Top 15 Affordable Restaurants in Milledgeville, GA

Jim Kent Drove down to Georgia to see a concert at Ned Kellys. The Castellows were playing in their home state of Georgia to wrap up their year long headline tour, figured this would be a fun place to visit. Doors opened at 8 and the ID check/wristband stamp line moved quickly. Eli Cain Opened at 9 and The Castellows came on shortly after 10. The show itself was a blast. Great crowd and energy! Staff and bartenders were friendly. Inside was very cold with the ac blasting. Only thing the bathrooms upstairs and downstairs needed some attention. The Castellows and Eli Cain (opener) both stuck around to chat and take pictures after. Very fun spot for live music on a Friday night! Most of these pictures are before things got full but the place was jamming!

Linda Great little spot for breakfast or lunch.Very friendly people that work there Clean and Great Food I ordered the egg cheese and Sauasge croissant and it was amazing. Hi

Amber Dennis I can’t say enough good things about Hibachi Express! Every single time I eat here, the food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Whether I’m getting chicken, steak, or shrimp everything is always seasoned just right and served hot and delicious. The portions are generous, the prices are fair, and the staff is always kind and quick with service. It’s the kind of place that never disappoints like comfort food that hits every time. I truly appreciate how they keep their quality high with every visit. It’s one of those hidden gems you always come back to. If you’ve never been, you’re seriously missing out. Hibachi Express is easily one of my favorite go-to spots, and I’ll forever be a loyal customer!

Vanessa Polato Really, really good food after traveling many hours! The place is next to the gas station. The bathrooms were clean. Prices were reasonable. I would recommend this place!!

Tatiana Mikhaylova We had such a wonderful time at Kai Thai Restaurant! The atmosphere felt warm and welcoming from the moment we walked in. Our waiter, Ashley, was exceptionally friendly, attentive, and genuinely supportive — she made the whole experience even better. The food was fantastic: the sashimi came in huge, super-fresh portions, and the yellow curry was honestly the best I’ve ever tried — rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. We also enjoyed their Oktoberfest draft beer, which was fresh, smooth, and very tasty. A great spot with amazing food and even better service. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Sam Horsley If you have not eaten here you have missed a treat. Outstanding food, usually more than you can eat if you get a platter. Service was great, cafe could use one or two waitresses more but still great service. It will now go on my go to list for friends and guest. I gave 4 stars on Atmosphere as I faced into the sun while eating. But it was all good.

Courtney M I’ve stopped here twice on roadtrips (10/1024 and 12/2025). The coffee has been great each time. They don’t have 2% but they can make it with whole milk & skim milk. They have quite a lot of searing inside. They sell beans to take home as well.

Mae Bryan Literally some of the best priced and best tasting food we’ve ever had! I had the grilled chicken with asparagus and mashed potatoes and my father had the fried flounder which was wonderful and my spouse had a burger. All of which were completely gone despite the big portion! Absolutely amazing place and our server was so sweet!

Randy Darnell Ms. Stellas is everything a hometown restaurant ought to be. The food selections are perfect. The food is delicious. They couldnt be more friendly. And the fried chicken - shut your mouth! There were 7 of us "mature" gentlemen there today and they treated us oh so well. Eat at Ms. Stellas. Then go take a nap.

Cheryl Youmans My husband and I brag on Aubri Lane’s constantly, that’s how much we love this restaurant. We both agree that they have the greatest customer service, their food is always great and it’s consistent just as their customer service is. My husband and I eat here at least once a week and sometimes twice a week. We have eaten at a lot of different restaurants not only here in this area but in other states as well and Aubri Lane’s by far has the best food of any restaurant we’ve been to. Not to say we haven’t ate at any good restaurants because we have but this is our favorite.

Mike Bovard I’ve seen these places around in other towns but 2021 it’s new to Milledgeville. Their menu is similar to a restaurant two traffic lights south, but that’s where the similarities end. I ordered a classic three tender meal. The pricing was adequate for the area however the quality of the food was much better than competition. I ordered curbside and staff was prompt to bring correct order. They’re signature Magoo dipping sauce it is OK however I prefer there honey mustard. It reminds me of honey mustard salad dressing from Steak ‘n Ale. I would recommend this location to anyone who is looking for an alternative to that Z bird.

Steve Baumgartner Great BBQ sandwiches. Fast Friendly service. Favorite restaurant in Milledgeville. They do not serve beer but it works to make it great meal. Also that is a 40 oz mug so it might make Sandwich look smaller that it is.

Laura Chase We stopped by on our way through and this place is hands down phenomenal. Food was fantastic, fresh and hot, flavorful. Staff was friendly and helpful. Bathrooms are clean. Highly recommend!

Ellie Page The verdict is in: the switch to Smash Burgers is a total game-changer. While the old menu featured thick patties that were often dry and tasteless, the new preparation has completely elevated the quality. These burgers are moist, fresh, and truly incredible—I’ve visited over a dozen times now, and the food is great every single time. The Potato Bun is STELLAR. ​However, it feels like the "smash" concept was taken a bit too literally with the menu itself. The selection has been smashed down to the bare essentials, and the lack of variety seems to be hurting business; the house is rarely busy unless there’s an event. The new boozy milkshakes are a fantastic addition, but the menu needs a bit more depth to help people get past the "change" factor. ​On the bright side, the restaurant is spotlessly clean and the staff is incredibly friendly. I do miss the old soul of the building—specifically the iconic dragon and artwork—but the new management is 100% capable of making the necessary adjustments to make Buffingtons THE place in Milledgeville again.

Rick Sherrod Wow! This place seemed to pop up overnight. One day we just saw it and dropped in to try them out. Its similar to Moes and Barberitos. I had the big nachos with steak and my wife had the chicken burrito. The steak and chicken were delicious. All the extras were great, too. The dining room was reasonably clean and the staff was friendly enough. Well be back for more on a regular basis.
