    Order double meat and white bread for The Fig sandwich. Cute shop, cute town. I would come back.

    Turkey Club.  Not in the photo is my husband scowling after I asked him to put it down so I could photograph it!

    Took a detour off the main roads to find lunch on our road trip. We don't eat at fast food places, preferring instead to dine at local restaurants in little towns. The Pod was an awesome cafe with great food and a cute vibe. We both got half sandwiches with chips. I got the Monte Cristo that was just yummy! Hubs got the Turkey Club grilled. He liked it so much he wished he had ordered a whole. Nice selection of sammys and great and fast service. So glad we made the stop!

    Hands down the best lunch spot in Gretna. High quality ingredients, friendly staff, and quaint café style dining room which opens to high end gift shop called Sweet Pea. I ate here multiple times in my week in Gretna, and tried both the sandwiches and salads. The whole portion for the salads are generous, with two large dressings. The Caesar is a clear favorite but also the Harvest was good hit a touch sweet. On the second visit I had the French dip, which was perfect! The a jus was not too salty, and the bread was very fresh. I opted to sub the chips for a fruit cup which was strawberries and blueberries. Fresh and sweeten they were perfect. Both visits I purchase a French vanilla ice latte with whole milk, both consistently delicious. All baked goods are made in house so we spilt the Apple Danish with free whip cream. It was served warm and bought to the table mid way thru which was a nice touch. I could probably spend an easy $50 here every visit just trying all they have to offer, and it's well worth it. After eating we ventured next door to check out the cute shop. I also noticed a wine room, and locally sourced honey and coffee for sale. The fresh squeezed lemonade is also to note, they offered a to go cup and free refills, for $2 that's a steal!

    Raven says the pup cup was delicious thanks!

    Stopped at The Pod for a quick coffee on our way to NC because it was an easy detour off 29. So glad we did! Staff is super friendly and coffee was excellent! They even gave our puppy a pup cup. We will be back and will try the food next time as the menu looks excellent.

    Worth it, but a bit pricy. We were looking for a coffee shop while driving through the area and found this cute spot on Yelp. A bit pricy for 2, but the quality of food, taste, customer service and being able to stop in at the adjacent gift shop made this a 5 star stop for us. Would recommend for anyone traveling thru looking for good coffee and/or food. We purchased the Cobb Salad w Chicken and Fig Delight Sandwich.

    Inside seating with great design elements

    We were road tripping from Charlotte to NYC, deciding to take back roads and stumbled upon this little gem in Gretna. Great design, ample seating inside and out with umbrellas to shield from the sun. I had the chopped salad with chicken and my husband ordered the club with the the sweet honey mustard recommend by the lovely girl taking orders. We also ordered the Pimiento Cheese with Toasties. The food was fresh, well prepared and delicious. The staff was friendly and service oriented. Cannot recommend this place enough if you are in the area!

    Bagel with Cream Cheese and Fruit
    Amber B.

    I went to The Pod for breakfast with my friends around 9 AM. I ordered a bagel with cream cheese (came with fruit on the side) and a medium iced vanilla latte. It was only 8 bucks and it was delicious. The staff was very friendly when I had questions. The inside of the place is beautiful and had an overall great atmosphere.

    Can someone clue me in to the vegan options? It states there are some but I don't see any on the menu....

    Hi Ciarra, We don't check this page regularly so sorry for the delay in responding. We have several salad options that can be made vegan friendly.

    Soul Sisters & Brothers is an excellent restaurant if you…read more Are looking for some down home country homemade cooking their macaroni and cheese is amazing and homemade if I could give them more than five stars, I definitely would because not only is the food wonderful but the people who run it. I guess it's the sisters and brothers. They are just amazing people as well. It's like you have been invited to dinner at their house . You don't have to take my word for it but definitely go see for yourself.

    This is definitely a hidden gem! The food was delicious. My entire party enjoyed their food. You…read moremight give it the side eye- doesn't look like a typical lil spot you might go too. We said- let's give it a try and we were so glad we did. I walked in and said- that man is lickin all his fingers- lawd must be good! He didn't lift his head up from his plate! We left happy, satisfied and full! Just before we left- another table ordered ribs- man...fallin off the bone! The wings are cooked fresh- breaded in house. The collard greens season with pork meat- delicious. The good folks were so nice- very pleasant and helpful. The restaurant has a quiet small setting. Not loud but comforting. Please go in order some food and enjoy! Prices are fantastic too. We will definitely be back!
