    The Pond is a great place for a family country supper
    Michelle S.

    The food was amazing country cooking just like grandma used to make! The fried catfish was hot and fresh and light and flaky! Paired with unlimited supply of hush puppies and the best white beans (just like my mom used to make!!)! Plus you choose two sides! The vegetable medley was a healthy choice and the fresh coleslaw was a hit! The other folks in our family birthday party had the fried cod fillets and fried shrimp and they loved their meals. The waitress was so kind and the service was quick! Our food was hot and fresh! I recommend you save room for dessert or get one to go as they are fabulous especially the chocolate meringue pie! Great experience and near Kenlake state park resort and LBL

    Very, very good. I would say maybe a little pricey for a 3-piece dinner that we shared. I did get some extra hush puppies and a small order of beans, but it still was under $20. You have to try the relish! It's absolutely delicious!!!! We are going back tomorrow to buy a jar or two to take home. The catfish was flaky and cooked very well. The fries are good. The mayonnaise slaw hit the spot. (They also have vinegar based & you can choose). We loved the hush puppies, too. The wait for carryout was about 35 minutes. I was a little concerned that it may be cold since we waited so long and brought it back to our cabin. It was perfect.

    So glad we we stopped on the way to a campground-there weren't many restaurants around. They feature catfish and they were great- thin light coating. My cheeseburger was good with a nice char. Service was great and the sweet tea hit the spot!

    Southern home cooking tastes the same everywhere down here so it's no better than anywhere else, canned geriatric's food.

    The beans are great and the hush puppies were even better, just make sure to leave room for your actual meal!

We had the country fried chicken with mashed potatoes and turnip geeens. The turnip greens were so good and my wife said the chicken was very good. I had the fried pork tenderloin, mashed potatoes and okra. All of it was delicious! For dessert we had blueberry lemon cake and coconut cake. Pictures do not to them justice. They were so huge the lid barely closed on the to go box. It was like 1/4 of a cake. We left there stuffed with four to go boxes for two people! Highly recommend!

I've come here because my grandparents from Paris recommended this place as a good 18th birthday dinner spot, and even though they may be just a little crazy, I am so glad I listened to them. The food is outstanding. I tried their Cheesesteak with French Fries, and I didn't even take a picture of it, I was that excited, and it was nothing short of outstanding. You get a lot of it too. If I wasn't a big back I would've had the entire thing for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the same can be said for their dessert cakes. The staff were excellent as well, they were friendly, and certainly helped making our first visit a welcoming experience, and I earnestly hope they are satisfied with working here. If you are a foodie, a travelling foodie, or just someone who just likes going to establishments in towns you don't even know the name of, I tell you now that you NEED to go to this place. P.S. Forget all the other beverages you can have with your food, GRAB THE TEA. Sweet or unsweet, their tea tastes HEAVENLY.

We had been here over the summer, and stopped by with our daughter to share the experience. Service is always good, and some of the food is great. It seemed like the 1 inch porkchop was not as good as the gigantic one I had last time, but I coykd be crazy. My husband woukd say I was crazy, so there is that. My daughter loved her fish. The mashed potatoes with white gravy were so good, I ate those first. Hubby asked for a garden salad with salmon. He got a spinach salad with salmon. Our server brought it out and offered to have it remade, but the salad looked wonderful and he really enjoyed it. Kudos to the chef for standing his ground haha. We were too full for dessert. Highly recommend, for the experience and the cute period clothing. Get reservations though! We have to wait over an hour on our first visit. We made reservations the 2nd time and we're seated within 10 minutes.
