"Delicious pancakes, and they were huge! They came slathered with butter. Unfortunately, they had no blueberry or banana to top them. Eggs cooked nicely and refillable coffee. Plenty of seating in the front room that day with another room in the back as well."

"Food is home cooked absolutely delicious. Everyone was pleased with their order. Our waitress Robbin was extremely helpful and friendly. We were visiting a local resident and will be sure to come back on our next visit."

"My friend and I were trying to find good home style restaurants in the greater Jacksonville Florida area and found Grannies' Country Cookin' restaurant in Starke to fit the bill perfectly. Everything was fantastic! The water even tasted better than most restaurants serve. We each ordered the chopped sirloin burger. with sauteed onions and gravy and I chose the homemade biscuit with sides of mashed potatoes and northern beans; and my friend chose the sweet cornbread with green beans and hash brown potatoes. The staff are all so friendly and the price for our food was only $16! You definitely have to come to Grannies Country Cooking in Starke. The owner even said that on Sundays they serve all-you-can-eat southern fried chicken. They're only open from 5 am to 2-ish, so come early and hungry! Update on 8/13/25: Came to enjoy something on their menu and the all-you-can-eat spaghetti sounds really good. $9.35? It is! Thanks to Robert, aka Dopey, and Grannie (there's actually one, believe it or not) Update on 10/19/25: My wife and her son and I came for Sunday lunch and it was fabulous! Alonso chose the AUCE Chicken, which stands for All You Can Eat with cabbage and lima beans. My wife chose the pork chops with mustard greens and cabbage. Yours truly chose the turkey and dressing with mashed potatoes and green beans. We all chose corn bread. Our server did a great job and we appreciated having Robert, the "chief bottle washer," to stop by our table and ask how everything is."

"We stopped for a good breakfast and we weren't disappointed, biscuit and gravy either two eggs special for $5.61. It was very good and the servers were friendly. The restaurant and restrooms could be a little cleaner."

- Melissa G.

"Amazing food! Started eating cause it smelled and looked amazing! Food tasted even better than it smells! Real country fried steak made to order NOT frozen!"

- Lisa B.

"We get through Stark 2-3 times a year and usually try to stop at Granny's. Never exceptional, but always good. Today we stopped in around 1 o'clock on a Sunday. We got the only open table, and had a very pleasant young waitress. I ordered the ayce chicken with loaded mashed potatoes. The menu states that it may take 25-30 minutes for fried chicken since it's made to order from Granny's special recipe. The waitress assured me since it was on special there was plenty made up. My lunch arrived a short time later, and I was underwhelmed. The chicken was tough, room temperature and looked like it has been cooked long before we arrived. The loaded mashed potatoes were stuffed in a side dish with a thin topping of a bacon and cheese mixture, again not even warm. The mashed potatoes might be home cooked, but not creamy or the least bit tasty. My wife had the grilled chicken, cold, small and average in taste. With the above mentioned potatoes. Yes the prices are great, service was great....but today they had problems in the kitchen. We may go back based upon past experiences. The place seemed different, maybe a new manager?"

"Traveling and looking for a good breakfast place and found Granny's on line. The waitress was very friendly and accommodating; the food was good, but potatoes were cold. Was looking forward to a good biscuit but was disappointed as there were very dry and crumbly. Could tell it was an eating place for the locals which is normally very good."
