    Food was really good, the sauce with the catfish was 10/10 it self... Ambiance nice, very pretty decor && the music was definitely a vibe... only gave 4 stars because our server left without taking our order && it took over 30 minutes for anyone else to notice us.

    Although Pow was overall an enjoyable brunch, there are some areas they could improve. We sat on the lounge side, which I came to regret because the music was so loud I could barely hear my friend speaking and she was sitting right next to me. The service could also use some improvement as my waitress was seemed to do the bare minimum and did not check on us at all once she gave us our food. As for the food, everything was tasty. I ordered the salmon croquettes and grits, which were well seasoned. I do think they could have given me one more for $26, especially because they gave me so many grits. However, I definitely enjoyed the flavor and the grits were creamy. My friend also enjoyed her food and said everything was seasoned well.

    Food is really delicious. I had the catfish and grits. The grits were creamy and cheesy which I loved. The catfish was seasoned well and crispy. Waitress was nice, patient, and knowledgeable of the menu. I do wish they sold like a pitcher drink for the table. Would because the food was good!!

    My boyfriend and I was looking for somewhere to eat that has southern food. We stumbled upon this place and we had no reservations. We were seated immediately upon entry but the space is so small. If you have a large party this not the place for it. The tables were so close to the next guests it almost feels like I'm in a living room. Everyone conversations were carrying over it was soo loud plus the music playing. The tables being so close turnt me off. After sitting and waiting for our meals we didn't realize it took an hour for our food to come until the table next to us asked us how long we were here for. I wasn't sure why our meal took so long and the waitress apologized. I also had a fake eyelash in my drink but the staff was very nice to switch it without a problem. The food overall was seasoned very good and came out hot which made up for the tight space. I'll come back possibly on a different day where it's less pack because it was Sunday brunch time.

    I checked this place out for brunch with a few others. We made a reservation online in advance which I definitely recommend as it is a small place that gets very busy very quickly. The location isn't great, but don't let that deter you from stepping inside where the decor is beautiful. My party was seated immediately upon our arrival and greeted quickly by our server. The good: the food was absolutely incredible. I ordered the catfish and grits which was well seasoned and a solid portion size that I had to take half of to go. My friend ordered catfish, yams, and greens and had rave reviews for her meal. The third member of our party ordered the shrimp and grits and said the flavor was great but was a little disappointed in the lack of shrimp in the dish. We also ordered mimosas which were pretty standard but a little pricey at $11/ glass. The bad: We were informed that our server was new which definitely came across. She didn't introduce herself and appeared as if she hated every second of being there. She didn't make any recommendations or explain much of the menu. She didn't instinctually do anything like bring water to the table, take empty plates, ask if we wanted refills, or offer to bring boxes when it seemed like the meal was wrapping up. We had to ask her and others working for pretty much everything. We also felt extremely rushed at the end of our meal (around the 90 minute mark) as she came over ready to cash us out while we were still eating and basically stared at us from a far until we left the table. I understand that the place is busy, but that experience in itself had me vow to never eat in the restaurant again. The food is so good, however, that I would absolutely order take out if I was in the area. I don't know if it was because we were there before the dj came, but I definitely felt that the vibes were off which was unfortunate as I was really looking forward to eating here. Definitely come for the food but do not expect good service.

    Man, the food was so good I really want to give them 4 stars! But there were just a couple things that need to improve so I can do that. The food was delicious! I ordered the Shrimp & Grits and also shared the Chicken & Waffles. The grits for the Shrimp & Grits were so creamy and cheesy! They fit my flavor profile to the T!! However my dining partner did not enjoy them, feeling like they were too cheesy to have with fried catfish. The shrimp were perfectly cooked and dressed in an amazing cream sauce that I wish there were a little more of on the dish. The waffle was delicious! Crispy, not too dense even though it was almost an inch thick, great buttermilk flavor. The wings were just alright but seasoned well. I did taste the catfish which was fried to perfection, just needed a hair more seasoning. What keeps me from that 4 rating is a couple things. I visited on a Friday just before noon. There was a crowd and as tables left, tables came right in the door. There was one extremely hard-working hostess/waitress. She had to work the entire room. She did great for the conditions but her manner reflected working under a lot of pressure. While it took us a while to have the chance to order, the food came out in a decent amount of time. I tell you, I was shocked to be handed a utensil kit like you get with takeout orders upon walking towards the table. Then to be brought our drinks in plastic and styrofoam cups... This was not what I expected because from the hype I've heard about this spot, I was of the belief the experience would be a little more classy. Sorry, just being honest. Maybe this was because they were short-staffed and couldn't deal with dishes? I don't know but boy, the paper service items really took me by surprise. Other reviewers have mentioned the small size. I hadn't read reviews before visiting so this was an adjustment for me as well. They have done an awesome job of filling the space to capacity but it does mean very close quarters while dining. When other guests (multiple, different tables) are having facetime conversations that make it hard to hear the person you are sitting across from, it does impact the experience. Add in the R&B (awesome selections, btw) pumping out of a speaker at ear-level, it felt like a lot. (Suggestion: put the speaker at the top of the wall.) Again, the food was phenomenal for me! And the prices were reasonable for what the experience is (I believe) intended to be. But we have to get some proper beverage containers and silverware. I would visit again in the future if I knew these things were addressed.

    POW is such a vibe with great food and drinks! The music sets the tone! I had the catfish and grits and a pancake and I was amazed at how good it was! So if you're looking for a good brunch spot, be sure to drop in! You will not be disappointed!

    Food is GREAT. Servers and hostess are GREAT. VIBE is great. The area and plaza it's in is not aesthetic at all BUT inside is very nice, bathroom clean. However we booked a party and there are too many rules, can't decorate table, like nothing. Not even table cloth. They don't have appetizers so can't order any for the table. I figured I'd just order sides as apps but nope you can't put in multiple orders, only 1 big order for entire table. So couldn't do that. Management needs to figure out these little tweaks because this place has great potential. Overall good experience.

    The food is amazing!!! It's seasoned perfectly. Everything bite was a little piece of heaven in my mouth. My group ordered lots of food. We were very pleased with the service. The atmosphere is a vibe and DJ was on point with the old school music. He catered to the people in the restaurant. You got to come check this place out. I'm usually very critical of restaurants, but I have nothing bad to say about this restaurant! It's just really great!

    Food was tasty but the wait was over an hour for take out. The portions were good except for the collard greens. It was just turkey skin. Very little greens. Three bites max of greens.

    POW was cool, but it didn't totally wow me. I ordered the fried chicken and waffles, which was good, but honestly, it was your typical fried chicken and waffles--nothing too special. The drinks, though, were delicious and definitely hit the spot. It's one of those typical brunch spots with loud music and hookah, so if that's your vibe, you'll love it. The service was great, but the location looked rundown. Overall, I enjoyed the experience, but I probably wouldn't go back.

    Omelet, no protein

    When we entered, because my friend had been here before, she knew the waitress. She greeted her and gave us a choice of seats. We scanned the qr code for the menu. Our waitress came over and introduced herself, Marlo. She was training a new waitress. She said we don't have croquettes. We said ok, thanks. She asked us if we would like something to drink. My friend ordered coffee. I asked for a diet coke. Marlo said, "we don't have that". I asked if they had anything diet. She said, (with a matter of fact tone), no water. At that point she lost me. My friend ordered the lamb chops, Parmesan potatoes, a side of cheesy grits, toast and grape jelly. I placed my order, conch fritter waffle. Marlo said, "we don't have that". My friend said, you said there were no croquettes. She said, "oh my bad". I said if I had known, I would have a selected something else. She said take your time, while standing impatiently waiting for me to order. I ordered an omelet. (Not what I wanted). After we were almost finished eating, Marlo brought the mixed fruit jelly. The lamb chops and potatoes were piping hot. The chops were tender and the potatoes were very tasty. My omelet was also hot, the bacon was crispy but I have had a better omelet at Denny's. SN: the new waitress name was Tera. Her personality was fabulous. She was very polite. I am recommend POW because of the food taste. I am rating a 3 star because of Marlos attitude and the omelet has a lot to be sdesired. Ask for Tera's section.

    I heard about this food truck on social media , the hype made me want to try it. They were doing a…read moretour near by so I was actually excited to try them out mostly because I heard great things about big egg rolls from food trucks, and social media convinced me these were some of the best. I didn't know if I'd ever get a chance to see the food truck again in my town so I took advantage of the tour while they were here. When I arrived it was about 2-3 people ahead of me waiting in line but others were waiting around for their food. Once you order it takes about 15-20 mins for your food to be ready depending on how busy they are. I ordered eggrolls and the strawberry lemonade. The customer service was decent when ordering the young lady was nice and fast. My order was ready after about 15-20 mins, I was so excited to try them I tasted them in the car. The strawberry lemonade was really good. You get a huge cup of lemonade for like $8 ( if I remember correctly). The egg rolls that I ordered were decent, you get 2 huge egg rolls with your order. They are pretty filling. For the price I say try them at least once and see what you think. My order total was $28.99 for 1 order of seafood eggrolls and a strawberry lemonade.

    i had the food truck on it's tour in riverview,fl. I had to check out the hype…read more How the food truck is ran is very organized and others should take note. Waited 45 minutes to order and recieve food. There's a LARGE menu, i'm surprised they had so much to choose from. 2 eggs for $15 (four pieces). Honestly two pieces are filling but of course you're going to want to try more than one roll. Chicken Teriyaki was bomb ! Highly recommended and would order again. The chicken philly was only okay. My order their Hibachi, it was highly recommended but he wasn't impressed. My parents were a fan of the corn beef and gyro. Each roll comes with its old set of sauces. The truck has a live feed where you can see others visiting the other food trucks , there's probably about 5. They have a fan set up and tent for the florida heat and long lines. follow on facebook for tour locations
