I had the chicken sandwich and onion rings. Very good meal with a couple of cold brews. This is our “go to” place for a good lunch while out enjoying a fun day of riding.
We took a Saturday ride on the bike to this destination restaurant. We questioned if we were really going to find it down the back road we were on. And Aye-YEEEEE what a diamond in the rough!! You absolutely must order the seafood nachos. They are a meal in themselves. I had the red beans and rice....c’est bon!!! Hubby had the coconut shrimp, also very good, and the dipping sauce was amazing. They have an outdoor stage that we hope to make it back to for live music. This is a great place!!
This amazing family owned restaurant is a VERY hidden treasure located 3 mi E of exit 111 in Pocahontas, MO. Everything we’ve had there has been perfectly prepared and full of flavor, especially our favorite dish...coconut shrimp (so good it blows Red Lobster’s coconut shrimp out of the water!). Other dishes not to
This restaurant is a hidden gem!!! It is a bit off the beaten path but the food and the restaurant atmosphere is AMAZING and worth the trip! This is how I mentally pictured a Cajun restaurant. The food was very tasty and serving sizes were very generous. The service was great and Misty was our waitress taking care of us and consulted us on the menu (I am a visitor from Germany and not so familiar with Cajun menu choices).
The food was amazing. The service was beyond stellar!!! If you are sleeping on this place wake up!
Love! The waitress was so sweet! Our food was amazing! The loaded tatties were so good! The pork steak fell apart with just a fork! The blackened chicken was perfectly cooked to taste! We will definitely be back and recommend!!
We have eaten here in the past and it was delicious, so we decided to bring family from out of town to show them what it's all about. They were not disappointed! We had the Smokehouse Tatties to start, then on the the BBQ platter, Coconut Shrimp, and Gumbo. So much flavor and the portions are ridiculously large! If you're in Cape Girardeau or the surrounding area, it's definitely worth the drive to Pocahontas. Google Maps will sometimes take you in the wrong direction. It's worth searching out this place. The Pilot House, Port Cape, and all the other BBQ places in Cape are definitely delicious, but this place has a different take on BBQ and other dishes. They also have an outdoor pavilion and live music weekly. We'll definitely be back!
Had a party of 7 with us today and it was all our first time ever at this restaurant and I must say we will all definitely be back our waitress winter was absolutely fantastic so sweet and awesome customer service food was outstanding and they give you big portions that’s hard to find these days hard to find restaurants anymore that hit all your expectations and this place did just that!! Great job guys!!!
