After a few minutes one came over asking if I wanted the buffet which looked good but I wasn't that hungry. I ordered a Po Boy off the menu. It took a really long time. All the while watching the waitress try and get something off her shoe. Once the cook said my food ready, she was still messing with her shoe. Someone else brought my food. Once I started to eat it, it was slathered in mayo and there were very few shrimp on it. The few that were supplied were tasty.The fries were cold. I ate about half my meal and left all the fries. No one ever checked on me or asked if I wanted a refill in my drink. This place has potential if the employees cared. I won't be returning when in the area. Maybe it was just a bad day but that was my experience. I dislike giving bad reviews but I was nauseous the rest of the day from all the mayo

I got the special of the day which was baked chicken with rice and gravy and two sides. They guy serving was super sweet to explain to me the ordering process and I had a great conversation with the woman in line before me who comes every week for the Wednesday special. For my sides, I chose the greens and mashed potatoes. Even though I got two starches, it was worth it because the mashed potatoes and gravy were worth having as a main dish! I loved the greens, too, especially since they had all the hot sauce and peppers and vinegar choices you could want. The chicken was fork tender and I left nothing on the plate. I love that they provide each guest a little wrapped package of cornbread and iced cake of the day, too. I will definitely be stopping at Pamela's any time I'm in town.

We both felt really heavy afterward, and my mom even felt sick after eating there. It was just basic diner food and a bit overpriced for something you can get almost anywhere else. However, the cake that comes with the cornbread was my favorite part. SERVICE: The service was fine. It had more of a cafeteria-style vibe, so there isn't much to say about it. AMBIANCE: The inside felt very run down. The bar wasn't even finished and didn't look like it was ever used. Overall, it had a very hole-in-the-wall feel.

We sat almost 2 1/2 hours waiting and in that time frame 2 tables were served their food order...2!! Our waitress was extremely rude, brought me someone's else's drink from another table, she still had the stamp from the bar from last night on her hand so I assume she was dealing with a hangover and obviously didn't want to be there judging by her violent demeanor. The table next to us ordered at 11:45 and was finally served at 2:00 (cold) after complaining about the time. After our long wait we were told our orders hadn't even began to be prepared. You could look into the kitchen and orders were cooked and ready but not being brought out, stacked everywhere you could see. We when questioned we were told they were busy because of Mothers Day but you could clearly see it was not packed but extremely busy, the lack of effort from some of the staff, poor planning, poor preparation, and poor communication from the management made this a bad day for the Mother's and their special day. After 40+ years I don't think I'll be visiting their establishment again after today....

I ordered blackened redfish with the baked potato for about $40 including a couple dollar tip. The redfish was really good, a tad bit over salty but not overwhelming. The baked potato surprised me because it wasn't the prettiest and I was expecting a traditional potato with the helpings. Instead it was more of a stuffed potato where they remove the body and mix it with cheese, chives, and sour cream and then stuffed back into the peeling. It was pretty good nonetheless. The place was cute and clean and I was able to sit at the bar until my food was packaged. Food also came with bread that was fresh and I liked it. Nothing to fancy or spectacular but decent food at a price point I'm use to since I live in New Orleans. Not sure why the restaurant is listed as $$$$.

We got the turkey. For the price(15.99), the serving of turkey wasn't very generous, maybe a scant half-cup of turkey. One the plus side, they did have dark meat, and it has some cranberry dressing. The corn meal dressing was very generous, and moist. It had a generous serving of carrots&peas, not so generous with the squash. We did get a slice of Bumbleberry pie, and peach pie. I was really looking forward to the Bumbleberry pie, as it was supposed to have raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, and blackberries. I hope that's correct. I was picturing a slice of thick pie just brimming over with fat, juicy berries. Instead I got a thin, flat piece of pie with the bottom 3/4 of the pie filled with a pinkish-red opaque jelly of sorts, and a sparse, then layer of mashed berries on top, just plunder the crust. The body of the pie was just under an inch thick, maybe 3/4" thick. It was an EXTREME disappointment, considering how the town is supposed to be the ""Pie Capital of Louisiana". If I were you, don't bother getting the Bumbleberry pie, but do get the peach; it was outstanding! I wish I had the recipe! The flavor of the peaches came through, it was sweet and delicious, without being heavily sweetened with spices, overwhelming the peaches. Yummy! I'm only rating it a "three", as the service was lacking.

The 2 young ladies "Samantha" & "Massie" that serviced me were incredibly smile-rifficly polite & professionally efficient. I ordered the "Duck Tender Po Boy" because I never had duck before. I ordered it "dressed" because I learned that is Louisiana for "everything". The side condiment had a nice spicy bite to it. I am so pleased I stopped here to support a "ma & pa" local business, PLUS I got so many "more smiles than I came in with" too - at no extra charge! Now if anyone asks me if I ever had duck, I can say "yes I have!" (and it was "dressed" with smiles . "Run-A-Way Bill" was here! 01.20.21
