Fried whitefish platter.
Brian A.

We visit this place fairly regularly. It is a good place to eat but today was a bit of a let down. Ordered 2 of the 2 piece whitefish dinners. Arrived home and found that they gave us each 1 piece of whitefish instead of the 2 piece dinners that I ordered. My fault for not checking before leaving but at least they only charged us for the 1 piece dinners. We usually order our whitefish fried but this time the wife got grilled and I got blackened. Her fish was undercooked and her mac and cheese side was very, very soupy. Not creamy but watery. My blackened fish was also a bit too translucent for my liking and I microwaved it for 30 seconds before finishing it. I had turnip greens and coleslaw for my sides. Turnip greens were ok but the coleslaw had hard, ground up cabbage cores in it. I'm hoping that today was a one-off experience.

Outside

Dosen't look like much from the outside but as the saying goes don't judge a book by the cover! I was totally impressed and nicely surprised when I walked in the door, I was greated nicely, with smiling faces and I was seated very quickly. I ordered the one center cut pork chop meal and all I can say is the service and food was outstanding and the food was hot, fresh and delicious. If you are in the neighborhood and you want good, hot country cooking please give PoFolks a try as you will not be disappointed . I will be returning soon.

Country fried steak, cheese grits and red beans n rice
Chris F.

Really enjoyed this clean out of the way restaurant! We started with fried green tomatoes which were wonderful and very well made. My wife had fried chicken with fried okra and cooked cabbage and I had country fried steak with cheese grits and red beans and rice. Everything was very tasty, hot and well prepared. Our server, Amanda was very attentive and helpful and we noticed a lot of locals coming in which is a good sign for a business near a tourist area. We will go back every time we're in the Panama City area on vacation.

Grilled Liver and onions, coleslaw, biscuits with white gravy and blackberry cobbler. Ice tea with lemon. Excellent every time.

The food was great, old fashioned home-cooked meals. I could have made a meal just from the appetizer menu though.

Decent country cooking, although most vegetables taste as if they came directly out of a can.

The food is absolutely outstanding. The catfish is some of the best I've ever had!perfectly…read moreseasoned and cooked just right. The fried pork chops are tender and flavorful, and the Southern greens and fried okra taste like true home cooking done right. The staff is warm and welcoming, and the whole place has a clean, cozy atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. A wonderful spot all around.

On a recent trip to PCB, we stopped here for lunch. I was impressed with the friendliness of the…read morestaff and how clean and bright the restaurant was. I ordered a vegetable plate and my guy ordered the smothered pork chops. There were several DoorDash orders and other guests ahead of us, so there was quite a wait for our food. But we understood and waited patiently. We enjoyed listening to the repeat customers and their casual banter. When our food arrived, I was pleasantly pleased with my order. The greens and black eyed peas were seasoned perfectly. The okra was hot and fried well. The Mac and cheese wasn't my favorite. My guy remarked that his sides were lukewarm at best as he prefers his food to be very hot when it arrives. I would think this is because the sides are already prepared and waiting and the meats and fried items are cooked to order. We also ordered a slice of coconut cake, which was homemade, moist and delicious. During this trip, the daughter of the owner stated that she was in the hospital recovering but would be released soon. We pray for her speedy recovery! Maybe this accounted for some of the mishaps encountered. But overall, I enjoyed my food and the ambiance and would visit again if I'm in the area. Happy eating!
