“I got the chicken salad BLT with the Cranberry Kelli, as a combo, with a loaded potato soup for my man and a side of their broccoli salad. I usually get the triple scoop, but felt like having a sandwich and it was to die for. I haven't been to this location until today (03-19-2024) and I absolutely love the location and the manager. He was so funny, and loved his vibe. Everyone was so nice when we came here. And it was my man's first time ever at any Chicken Salad Chick, so we'll definitely be back. This location is convenient and perfect. Parking lot is small, but there's plenty of it. Definitely recommend this place if you love chicken or chicken salad. It's fresh and tasty.Parking: Small lot but plenty of places“

“Great options at this scratch kitchen. The food is seasoned very well and cooked to perfection. Wisconsin cheese bites are extra tasty, limited meat loaf was good and the new Orleans pasta was great. Grilled shrimp was absolutely delicious but fried shrimp could use a lighter batter. Jamira provided excellent service.“

“Mostly GoodMaple Street has a fun vibe. It’s a little loud and jarring in the morning, but everyone is friendly and pleasant. It’s typical fast-casual, order at the counter and they call out when it’s ready. Prices are reasonable.I had “The Farmer”, fried chicken on a biscuit with bacon, cheddar and apple butter. It was very tasty and filling. I had to deconstruct it so I could eat it. My only complaint was that the apple butter was very cold—quite incongruous. It would have been much nicer if it was room temperature. We also got the “Bluegrass Grits Bowl”. It’s a large bowl of grits topped with an egg, cheese, green onions and a slightly spicy sauce. Unfortunately, the main component of the bowl was the grits. While they had flavor, they were terribly gummy—very unpleasant.I would go again and stick with biscuits and chicken.“

“When I was 16, (now 46) my first job was as a busboy at the only (or one of the few )Po Folks north of the Mason-Dixon line in Western Pennsylvania. Not only was it my first job, but it also provided a taste of southern cooking that I wouldn't have had otherwise. Greens, red beans and rice, fried okra, black eyed peas, I loved it all then on top of the fried chicken and other items. That restaurant closed over 20 years ago now and the chain has dwindled to a few locations in northern FL.Simply, if you like Cracker Barrel, you will like Pofolks. Lots of the same options (except breakfast isn't served beyond breakfast hours) and lots of the same food options you'll find at any other southern style "Meat and 3" restaurant. The food all tastes the same as it did and the fried chicken is always good. I happened to eat at another PoFolks in Pensacola a few years ago and had the same experience there. Even the dishware is the same that I remember washing all those years ago.My wife had never experienced PoFolks and she enjoyed it. And the prices are still a good value with generous portion sizes. If you want a simple, southern style meal in St. Pete or Tampa, PoFolks is a good choice.“
