    a tray of fried food

    Great food! Had to stop and try the crab poppers, soft shell crab and kickin shrimp Po boy. All was excellent!

    This place is a great little place to eat along the side of the road. Their kickn shrimp poboy is amazing, definitely gonna go back with the family next time we're down in that neck of the woods. You could definitely taste the freshness in the seafood, didn't have to wait long for the order and there was ample seating. While the portion was somewhat small, definitely makes up for it in the flavor of each bite.

    This was a tasty and fun stop along our scenic drive. From all the good reviews I saw on yelp I decided to stop, glad we did! It was hot and fresh, the fish had a really nice light batter. Thanks for the excellent food!

    We took the creole nature trail from Texas through Louisiana and Anchors Up was along the trail. The building itself didn't look like much but the food was great and the staff were super friendly. We felt very welcome here and like we were part of the family. My father had the burger and he was very impressed, I had the BLT it was loaded with bacon, my husband had the po boy shrimp sandwich which was full of flavor, my daughter and picky eater had chicken tenders she ate every last one. It was a great stop on our vacation from Indiana through Louisiana.

    we stopped for lunch here today as we traveled the Creole Nature Trail. Had the shrimp basket and kicken shrimp po-boy with onion rings. Food was hot and tasted great. Very friendly service. Don't let looks deceive you. Highly recommend it.

Not too much. Not too little. Just the right amount of burger. Very flavorful and very tasty. The onion rings were pretty delicious as well! I'll definitely be back to this place. Food - 5 Service - 4.5 Atmosphere - 4 tables were dirty and not wiped down Giving an overall 4 but it's really a 4.5.

I don't think it's from the lack of effort it's just the supply chain has changed and the quailty of the original ingredients have changed and that just the cold hard truth. This is a good burger, not a great burger in my opinion the protocol here is order what you want and accept what they sit on the counter when they call your name - today's old fashion cheese burger was pretty good and very fresh but one burger can't meet everyone's expectations, for me there is too much mustard I want some but today it was over powering, I'd sub grilled onions for raw and luckily I definitely remembered to ask for pickles otherwise you don't get any. If you want a burger where the meat is the main ingredient order a double even then it's not overwhelming. Good Onion Rings (yes) and plenty of them a large order can feed at least three hungry people. They are served hot right from the grease so add salt and pat them dry unless you like the added grease they are probably the best you'll find eating out. Now what the same as it was from years gone by, very very reasonable prices, an extremely friendly staff I love they will carry on a conversation with the customers, if you frequent this place they will remember you and maybe ask how your mom and dad are doing that's not just great customer service that's amazing hometown service and that a very rare amenity today - yeah it's changed a little or maybe it's just that I have, so if they keep serving them burgers when I'm in the area I'll keep buying them...

This location seems like a cross between a restaurant and a convenience store, but don't let its humble appearance fool you. There's some great burgers to be had here! I guess we should start with the headliners, which are the stuffed burgers! These hearty creations have a variety of fillings stuffed into the center of the hamburger meat itself, making them a huge moist juicy and delicious handful! The variety of fillings includes mushrooms and Swiss; boudin; BBQ brisket; and even macaroni and cheese. These are a great choice, but one can also get a plain old fashioned hamburger or cheeseburger with toppings outside of the patty if one wishes. There are a choice of breads for these, so if you want it on Texas Toast or a Jalapeno Bun, it's all good! Then you need a side. There are of course fries and onion rings, but also tater tots and sweet potato fries. If you have any room left they have a pretty nice selection of ice cream and frozen treats. This location is just north of I-10, so it's convenient to stop into for a quick lunch. If one is so inclined, you could get an order to go, and enjoy a picnic at the nearby Maplewood Park.

    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 menu has a variety, I wan ant very hungry and went with the nachos, beef and chicken. They offered me half or full, it wasn't much maybe $2 but since not so hungry I ordered half. Once there I noticed a drive thru so I went there. There is a sign on the window that says "we don't take orders from window." Or something to that effect. I pulled up and gave my name. Shortly after they brought my bill, quickly opening the window and shutting with little interaction. I wanted to ask for utensils, which I could see, but again she opened window, quickly handed it to me and shut window. Figuring I could get them from my hotel I went on my way. So the box was packed with chips, it had ground meat, beans, cheese, jalepenos, sour cream and salsa. The chips were kind of thick so they help up well. The salsa had great flavor. The rest was ok, there was no chicken as I had ordered but the ticket indicated it was made per the instructions. I felt the cheese was really light for nachos. Otherwise it was ok. Service wasn't great with wrong order and lack of communication at window. Something else probably would have been better.
