I did a quick search and this place popped up so we decided to check it out. I am so glad we did! We had our two dogs with us, so we sat outside. David was extremely friendly and knew his beers! We sat outside and had a few different beers each and chatted with him and his wife Cathy for a few hours. I would highly recommend checking this place out if you are in town! Great local spot with a great beer selection. We will definitely be back.

Deceptively roomy inside given the view from the street. Fantastic service, could have sat there all day. An absolute must for anyone visiting the area looking for a cozy, upscale retreat. A great spot along the waterfront. Owner really enjoys the craft beer world and it shows. Will definitely return on our next trip.

A great dog friendly stop for lunch. Outside they have shaded seating and dog bowls for your dogs. The bartender Carley was amazingly friendly and helpful! There are fun games outside and the inside is spacious and has very cool AC! So important for Florida summers. Stop by and check them out! We are really glad we did! The 386 is a great west coast style IPA and the Coconut Stout was delicious! 8.8% ABV and you can't even taste the alcohol with great coconut flavor!

I ordered the Ribeye steak, side salad, collards and dirty rice. The two drier sides came in separate containers but the collars came on the plate with the steak. The steak was cooked past my request and was sitting in a bath of collard juices. My biggest turn off were the flies. I do not enjoy swatting flies while trying to enjoy dinner. May try again in the winter or if they get the fly situation under control.

This was our second visit to Velchoff's. We loved the fries last time so we had to come back to try…read moretheir other menu items. We got hungry after running errands so went out for dinner this Thursday around 6pm, parked on the street (free parking), and seated immediately by a friendly hostess. We chose to eat indoors since it was hot out (90's) so we sat at table 1 for the high top seats to accommodate my husband's height. There were around 5 other tables occupied and the rest of the dining area was empty. Our server was Boo and she had a delightfully bubbly personality, letting us know the specials and local origins of the food. We ordered Coke no ice, ginger ale no ice, cajun fries no bacon, well-done Swamp Burger, buffalo chicken bites, and a mahi mahi fish basket. My husband decided to use their restroom, which interestingly enough, are located outside around the corner of the building. I'm guessing this was done so the chefs in the cooking area (in the food truck) could use them easily. Our drinks arrived in minutes and appetizer (cajun fries) arrived around 10 minutes later. The rest of the food was brought out about 10 more minutes after that. The entire order was correct and made very well. Cajun fries were crispy with gooey cheese sauce and cajun spices. Fish basket was tasty and not fishy at all (yay!). My husband said his burger was good and not oily. All in all, cost was about $95 with a generous tip. We would come back for another date here, hopefully with Boo as our server again :)

How I love saying the name lol. The pizzas always come out hot and fresh with the right amount of toppings, cheese and sauce. It's like getting all extra toppings without the extra fees.

Highly recommend trying this pizza place in Palatka if you haven't yet, you will not be disappointed. The crust is cooked perfectly.

The last time I stopped in the bartender offered my dog some water & a bone while I sat on the outside deck to enjoy the spring afternoon. There were parachuted to watch drop from the sky, so we were in no hurry. The owner has always been smiling & willing to help out a weary traveler. I Rarely pass thru Palatka without stopping in for at least one drink. If you don't do anything but pop in to see the hand painted walls... and these aren't murals folks, they're meticulously hand painted bamboo walls... really cool. Stop in to see those and make sure you visit the restrooms... have a beer while you're there. And if you're travelling with Fido, bring him in too (around back, of course).

We had lunch at Mariscos El Pacifico in Palatka today. The service was excellent and our server was…read morevery attentive throughout the meal. We started with the Ceviche Pacifico, which stated it included shrimp, but there was no shrimp in the dish we received. It came in a red sauce, which was okay but not really what I expected. For my entrée, I had the whole red snapper, which was very good and probably the highlight of the meal. My husband ordered the shredded beef chimichanga. There was plenty of meat, but unfortunately much of it was very fatty and full of gristle, making it difficult to enjoy. We also had four beers with our meal. Overall, the restaurant seemed more like a seafood place than a Mexican restaurant. Our server did offer to bring my husband another meal, but we declined. Considering the issue with the chimichanga and the missing shrimp in the ceviche, I thought perhaps some type of discount or accommodation might have been offered, but nothing was. The fish was very good, and the service was excellent, but overall the experience was disappointing and not enough for us to return.

The spicy margarita that our bartender made was off the charts delicious. Probably the best margarita I've had in years. The chips were crispy, thin, and came out HOT. Unlike other places in town. The ambience is simple, but very clean and comfortable. I ordered the enchiladas suizas and my boyfriend had the fajitas. Everything was delicious. We will definitely be back. Additionally, we learned that pretty much all of the staff members commute to work in Palatka, from Jacksonville, every day. These are extremely hard-working people and the food that they are putting out is phenomenal. This restaurant deserves to thrive. I highly recommend checking them out.
