We used to eat there all the time when I was young. I know it's shut down sense. What was it like? I just remember the inside but not the food or how you're fed/staffing.


Also, is the Pofolks produce on the side of the highway between I10 and Lobdell on the west side if the river at all related?

There was one in Clinton , Ms. the year I did penance at Miss College before getting privileges back at Moo State. They shut down for a reason.

On reading the menu, I've recognized where OG learned to spell.

The only Pofolks I've ever seen is the one in Niceville on the way to Destin. I've never eaten there.

Cracker Barrel is very similar to Pofolks. Home cooking, comfort food

There are still some "Folks" (they changed the name to be PC) in GA. Haven't been in forever but I remember growing up I loved the country fried steak.

Yeah, I remember it well. I hated it. Not because the food was bad, but because my grandparents always wanted to eat there and it was the same stuff that I grew up eating. Think of a smaller version of Cracker Barrel.

The thing I remember most was when this guy went nuts at the old Ellis Ave location in Jackson. Much more memorable than the food.

No wonder why they closed down. They couldn't taste or smell what they were cooking!!
