“Best cannoli I have had in years. So glad this place is open. Hoping they will get cappuccino to go with fabulous cannoli and that they expand food and produce but stopped in to explore the new market and community market Great sourdough and extremely good dessert so keep growing maybe reopen restaurant or food trucks coming but for now cannolis are worth it“

“We are staying at Edgewater and have enjoyed two meals this week at Ocean's. Food has been excellent, Victoria's drink of the week was the best, made with a cherry rum. She was our waitress both days, friendly, efficient and attentive!“

“Arrived at 10:05 for lunch because breakfast ended at 10:00. One server took our drink order and said our server would be taking our order shortly. 10 minutes later she took our order. Meanwhile over the next 30 minutes several customers arrived and were served drinks and meals. Our server returned a couple of times with excuses why our food wasn't ready. After waiting patiently for 1 hour we got up and left. No one approached us to ask why we were leaving. This was our first visit to Big Mamas and will not be returning.“

Go see Ally and tell her Julie sent ya!!“

“I currently work for Charlie and Linda Coram and I ate at Coram's way before I ever got a job w them. I was hired for the new restaurant on 15th street which only recently opened in October 2023. it has some major differences from the old store but given the chance we can prove how great we can be. the owners and staff put their heart and soul into making things great and better when not up to par. sometimes opening a new place is a lot of trial and error and figuring out the staff that fits but when things are right the food is amazing. the prices are no more than similar restaurants on most items and still cheaper than buying your own food and then having to cook it. we already have lunch specials and new dinner specials but in the next week more changes will be made and more improvements to the food, staff and anything else anyone has complained about. Linda and Charlie take their restaurant as serious as possible and they listen or read every complaint and try to fix it. so I'm asking as an employee and a customer of this great restaurant for y'all to give it one more try before saying u won't go back. remember nothing is easy on this life and especially opening a restaurant. but I truly have faith in the upcoming approvements that will make everyone happy. and please don't hesitate to let us know what we have done wrong so we can make it better. please follow for close updates“

“The food was worth the wait!!! Fresh, the guy that rang us up and brought us out food, absolutely loved him!! 😍 he was so sweet and attentive. And the lady throwing down in the back, kudos to you!! You were doing the damn thang! We will be back!“

“Tried this Waffle House for the first time and had the best Waffle House experience ever. Ordered eggs 🍳 , bacon 🥓, and grits for dinner along with biscuits. My meal was cooked to perfection and my server was prompt and courteous. The cook walked up and asked me how my meal was. I was very pleased with my meal and service. Considering how much it costs to eat out these days, the price was very reasonable. I’ll come back again.“

“I love coming to PoFolks .Unfortunately, I don't get to do that much. see, l live in CT. but, every time I come down to visit my son an daughter-in-law I make sure that one of our first stops is at your restaurant. really good food,and prices are good too. as for your staff,they are the best.

“Best breakfast and service around!“

“Absolute favorite place to go for a night out! You can’t pass up on the food while you’re there!“

“Friendly diner style, looks like it's been around for a good while. Friendly wait staff, clean, felt cozy somehow, and food was on point, we had breakfast there twice. They suggest arriving before 9am to beat the crowd, it seemed like a popular place. Even the kiddos loved it“

“I’m a bit surprised by the 1-star review, especially since it seems like the reviewer didn’t realize it was a delivery-only spot. It’s really easy to check online, but regardless, their food is amazing! It’s so filling and delicious. Plus, the little details like sealing everything to ensure freshness and providing utensils, napkins, and condiments without asking are just great. Overall, I’d give them a 10/10 for service—you guys did a fantastic job!“

“This visit was extremely special and I am grateful for the amazing staff they are very friendly and done a magnificent job. Compliments to the managers and the staff team and crew. The food was amazingly delicious. And the atmosphere was so awesome. For the first time I had my meal paid for my someone I didn’t even know I a special day to me, celebrating Father’s Day and my daughter who was born a month ago today. Thank you to Po Folk for being a part of Bay county for so long, this location will always have me and my family coming back time and time again.“

“This past Saturday October 18th I was part of a wedding at the conservation park. Sonny's BBQ handled the food for this event. They sent two of the best staff to serve the food for this wedding Savanna and Caitlin. These two ladies went above and beyond. Not only did they set up their area beautifully and move the guest line at a quick pace when it was time to eat. They also saw us struggling with a time deadline and wind not cooperating with our decorations they jumped right in and helped us get the last minute things done- Even held down the reception area so all of us could walk and see the wedding ceremony a short walk across the park. I hope they see this and know that we greatly appreciate the extra things you did to help their day be so beautiful <3“

“Just wanted to shout out to everyone who comes to this great place on the beach. I want to give a special thanks to the owner Murdock. We have a ministry that helps people that has life controlling issues. He knew our center needed bikes for our students that live here so they could get to and from work. Yesterday he came by the center and dropped off four bicycles as a donation to our ministry. It’s really good to see business owners in our community help an outreach like ours. Thank you again for your kindness. You’ve always been a blessing to our mission here in Bay County.“

“Love Bikini Bob’s! Everyone that works there is awesome! At my most recent visit, Dean provided great customer service and good conversation while I waited for my order.“

“Excellent food; great service“

“Nice spot. Pretty spacious. I went on a Saturday night. The bartender in the back next to the dj booth is pretty good. I recommend a whiskey sour with salt on the rim (Jamerson) or a blue marijuana ❤. The dj never picked up the pace as the night progress. This is where it fell flat.“

“This is a must stop when we are in the area. The cheesy garlic bread and marinara are so good. The lasagna is delicious as well. The pasta dishes come with bread (same bread as cheesy garlic bread just with no cheese). We were not a fan of the alfredo though. It was thicker gravy-like sauce with not much flavor, and the flavor we did get was kinda like dirty dishwater. :/ But the pizza and calzones are great!!“

“Best hamburger ever!!! Beats all others with flavor, quality, size and value. Wild West Shrimp appetizer was phenomenal! Fresh, hot and tasty!
Service was super friendly and prompt to attend to our every need.
We will most definitely be back to eat here again!“

“great friendly atmosphere“

“Kayla is absolutely the best waitress ever! I eat at Cracker Barrel every two weeks and I always order the same thing, Kayla always remembers my order. If I want to change my usual order a little, Kayla makes great suggestions. Kayla makes every customer feel special whether you are a regular customer or a first-time customer. I always recommend Kayla to my neighbors, friends, and other acquaintances'“

“Good food and great service“
