From time-to-time, I work as a corporate trainer to industries in the area, and the employees at a…read morefirm I work with recommended that I try the burgers at Poteet's Pit Stop. During lunch today I happened to be in the Deridder area so I decided to give them a try. My first impression of the place was "this place serves food?" It looks like a rural truck stop, with a mechanic on-duty next door and a salvage yard in the back. Nevertheless, I decided to go in and give it a try. The place is pretty much a convenience store, with a grill that not only serves burgers, but also Krispy Krunchy Chicken and Hunt Brothers Pizza. They have a really comprehensive menu, serving breakfast to fried seafood dinners. Since everyone at the plant raved about the double bacon cheeseburger, I decided to give that a try, along with waffle fries and a drink. The lady behind the counter informed me the Coca Cola soda fountain was out-of-order the day I visited, and I should pick up a bottled soda instead. After taking my order, she informed me there is a 20 minute wait for the food to be ready. I decided to sit in the dining area to wait, and it is a small area with a TV playing FOX News (the remote was available if anyone wanted to change the channel). Overall it is clean and there is WiFi but I didn't ask for the password. Poteet's Pit Stop is clearly popular as many people came and went as I waited. There were also a lot of people who called in earlier and just came to pick up their orders. About 20 minutes passed and my food was ready. I picked up my drink and decided to eat in the car, in consideration of social distancing during this COVID-19 period. There is a Baptist Church with a large parking lot next door so I decided to stop there to dine in my vehicle. The fries turned out to be hot, freshly made, and has the right amount of seasoning. Best of all was the burger, which was hot and fresh with a generous amount of grilled onions, cheese, and bacon. I opted for the jalapeno bread, which made a difference, and overall it made a hearty meal. Overall, Poteet's Pit Stop was quite a surprise, and is perhaps one of Deridder's best-kept secrets for an excellent burger. The service was friendly, the ladies working were real sweethearts, and the food just wonderful. I will certainly come back the next time I am looking for lunch in the area!

The young women behind the counter were pleasant and helpful. We came in and I looked at the menu board and decided to just get my usual iced coffee, but then I saw their "Fall Menu." Oooh, there were some unusual offerings. I decided on the Brown Butter Toffee Dalgona iced coffee and ordered the Spanish Latte (iced) for my husband. Oh my, these were so unusual but so delicious. To the left of the counter, on the wall, are shelves with their own roasted coffee. My son bought us the small pack of their King Cake coffee as a treat (small packs make one pot). We are looking forward to trying it. This is quite a nice little coffee shop and I'm glad we stopped in!

They also impressed me with having a boutique-ish items inside the pharmacy, as well as a UPS drop off. Those are my pluses. My negatives are why they got 3 stars. Staff that I encountered in the inside pharmacy were not nice and put off that they had to deal with contacting my doctor and insurance company. I was even told to go to Walmart, instead of them filling my prescription. (Walmart didn't carry the prescription) When I returned to pick up the medicine, again, the pharmacy staff made me feel like I was a burden. This review is based on several trips to the store. Each time was the same and with the same staff.
