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.

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.

Our server Jaynie was fabulous! She ensured we had full glasses at all times, a clear & clean table…read moreand everything we needed for dinner service. For appetizers, we had the Crab & Artichoke dip with a 1/2 doz Rockefeller oysters & 1/2 doz pimento cheese oysters. Everything 10/10!! Entrees are pictured below and we're all delicious! We're already talking about our next trip back to St. Andrews!

(3.5/5 Stars) After…read morereading the reviews, I was excited to try Captain's Table while visiting Panama City Beach. Overall, the service was outstanding, but the food was a bit of a mixed bag. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a wonderful hostess with a warm smile and a friendly attitude. My party of five chose to sit in the bar area and were seated immediately. Our server, Trent, was fantastic! He was personable, attentive, knowledgeable, and happy to answer all of our questions. The customer service was definitely one of the highlights of the evening. We started with salads and appetizers. I ordered the garden salad with Caesar dressing. The dressing was absolutely delicious--one of the best parts of the meal--but the salad itself was disappointing. It consisted mostly of romaine lettuce with just a tiny slice of onion, a couple of cucumber pieces, and a few carrot strips. The crab cakes, on the other hand, were excellent! They were flavorful and paired perfectly with the remoulade sauce, which tasted fresh and homemade. For my entrée, I ordered the stuffed shrimp. Unfortunately, it fell well below my expectations. The dish consisted of seven shrimp, each topped with just a small dab of crab stuffing. While the sauce was delicious, the overall presentation and portion of the stuffing left the dish feeling underwhelming. Around the table, opinions were mixed. The fried okra and hush puppies were both big hits, and everyone agreed the oysters were excellent. However, the Captain's Platter was a little disappointing, and the blackened fish was heavily over-seasoned for a couple of people in our group. Overall, Captain's Table delivered exceptional service but inconsistent food. I may come back to try some of the fried seafood since it looked really good on other tables, but based on this visit, I'll give it 3.5 out of 5 stars.
