Pop's Southern Buffet

We’ve heard so much about Pop’s so decided to try it for ourselves. What a great experience! The food from the buffet was delicious and the staff was extremely accommodating and hospitable!! We will definitely go back!

Great Food every time we've been there. Everything is always cooked perfect and taste great. We live in Daytona but go as often as we can, usually weekly.

this is my family new favorite spot when we visit Palatka. We loved everything. Thank You so much, the staff made us feel like home. A special thanks to Wendy and Amanda.

Nicest people ever!!

Amazing! My family came in last weekend to enjoy some of their AYCE crab legs, and oh my goodness. We had a pretty large party, but they didn’t stop them from providing perfect service and amazing food. My family all agreed that the more rounds we got the better the crab legs got. They aren’t overly seasoned, and the crab wasn’t fishy or anything. My sister said that she has never had a better piece of fried catfish, which is saying a lot! The cream corn is different than your tradition kind, but it is actually really good! My boyfriend and dad said that the crawfish was good too. The salad bar and buffet were always stocked, and our drinks were never empty. My uncles steak came out a little under what he ordered and they were so quick to do correct it immediately! Pop came out to check on us, but Amanda took great care of us. With all of that being said there are a few small things I would recommend. For $50 a person please include a dessert… having to pay an additional four dollars was just silly, especially for how tiny the slices of pie were. My cake was a great portion for the price, but everyone else was sad when they saw their pie portions. We went through probably about 100 paper plates, there has to be a more efficient and cost effective way to serve the crab. There is a men’s and women’s bathroom, but they are one holers. A lot of people need to be able to wash their hands, and my family had to all wait when we needed to wash our hands. We will definitely be back. An actual mom and pop restaurant, owned and operated, with great food is impossible to beat!

Parking: They have a few handicap spots right up front and a bigger side parking lot to the left of the restaurant. If you have a boat or a camper you can still stop by for a meal, there is enough space.

Kid-friendliness: We saw many families come in with kiddos younger than my cousin and a few babies. They have high chairs and appropriately priced meals for kids. My little cousin had a little bit of a hard time making her plate and seeing so definitely make sure to help them out a little bit.

Food is very good. All you can eat Buffet is plentiful and everything on it has a great flavor. The crabs are excellent and every plate comes out hot. Owner and staff are very friendly. You all are going for the food not the atmosphere. So when ya drive up don't leave...walk in and eat. You'll be glad ya did! The restaurant is clean, everyone is welcoming and food really is quite good.

By far the best experience I've ever had at a restaurant. They're not kidding when you leave feeling like family. The food was fresh and delicious. The servers were friendly. The owner greets everyone to check on them. We stood for the national anthem USA! The prices are reasonable. Fresh biscuits were served. Good music was played. Everything you could expect from a small town southern hospitality restaurant. I'm excited for them to open their Palatka location. God bless yall! Brandon
