Looking for liver and onions done right...this is my go to. Looking for an iron rich meal; their liver and onions never disappoints. The meat is delicious and the texture is clean, free of any impurities. Onions beautifully caramelized..next time I'll ask if I can add bacon! Attentive server!
Good country cooking. Reasonably priced. Service is good food is good. Sundays after church you may have to wait to be seated.
Waitress was amazing . Lets start by saying. Do not get clam chowder . After we sent that back it was delicious. Fresh Fried Mushrooms with horseradish sauce that was as good as any fine dining restaurant .. Pork Chops were good . I being a pork chop snob you really have to be bad for me to complain . Tedie said was ok . But all sides were amazing . After we got check they walked by with a plate of amazing looking chicken . The only picture my girl took you will se expression on face .. I ended up buying a breast and thigh . It is now the only thing i will get there!! With stuffing and ear of corn !! Will be returning once a month if not more .. chicken worth the price Most important YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR !!
The food is amazing especially the fried tomato's and mushrooms. They also give you large serving.
The southern food is good and reasonably priced! Fried chicken, pot roast, catfish dinners are my favorites! Desserts are cheap and good
No fancy decoration or flower walls in this place. Just a good ole mom and pop spot with consistent food! Im a regular here and Ms.Tami is always a joy whenever I come in. She remembers my order every time and she's definitely a favorite amongst the customers. I usually get the Kuntry Cookin combo with the 2 piece fried chicken and kuntry fried steak with mashed potatoes and okra. Today I tried the shrimp and I loved them! Crispy and fresh. Probably the closest thing to a home cooked meal without being at home.
Oh how I wish PoFolks was as common around this area as Cracker Barrel. Unfortunately this is the nearest location to us so we make a point to visit when we are in the area. Food is simple, delicious and filling. There is pretty much something for everyone on this menu, and prices are more than reasonable. I would give them six stars for our most recent visit if I could because our lovely server ran out to us in the pouring rain because my little boy left his stuffed tiger at the table. Unfortunately, it might be a while but we will most certainly be back!!
