About Buffington's

I’m excited to introduce Buffington's, a laid-back American restaurant that locals genuinely enjoy for its easygoing charm and reliable comfort food, right in the heart of downtown Milledgeville. Located at 120 W Hancock St, Milledgeville, GA 31061, United States, Buffington's feels like one of those spots you can walk into without a plan and still have a great time. The vibe is casual and welcoming, which makes it a natural choice whether you’re meeting friends, grabbing something quick, or settling in for a relaxed evening. As an American restaurant, the menu focuses on familiar flavors done right, leaning into comfort food while still offering enough variety to keep things interesting. Drinks play a big role here, so you’ll find a solid mix of beer, wine, cocktails, and spirits, plus coffee for anyone easing into the day. Happy-hour drinks and happy-hour food add an extra layer of energy, especially when the place starts filling up with regulars and first-timers mingling easily. Late-night food is another highlight, making Buffington's a dependable option when other kitchens start closing. Service is flexible and fits modern needs, since you can choose dine-in for the full experience or go with takeaway, delivery, or no-contact delivery when convenience matters most. I also like that the menu considers different preferences, offering vegetarian and vegan options alongside small plates and quick bites that work well for sharing. Overall, Buffington's comes across as approachable and unpretentious, with a steady rhythm that suits casual meals, spontaneous plans, and those moments when you just want good food and drinks without any fuss.

Reviews

In town for Deep Roots, but needed a place to watch the Jackets take on Duke. The staff was fun and engaging, and kept the drinks flowing for all. Was floored with the quality of the food...the smashburger was one of the best I have ever had - seasoned and cooked to perfection. Will without a doubt visit again any time we are in Milledgeville!

I recently visited Buffington's at 120 W Hancock St, in Milledgeville, GA for the 2025 Burger Week. The burger for this year was a very good one. Maybe the best I have had there for burger week. I sat at the bar and was quickly greeted and my drink order taken. My burger came out later and it was very good. I have been there many times and always enjoy my times there.

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 Buffington's THE place in Milledgeville again.
