Panola's Cafe

DO NOT LET THE EXTERIOR FOOL YOU! We ventured off the highway to eat here based on reviews & they are accurate!! We had shrimp poboy and fried steak with mashed potatoes. It was ALL delicious! Very clean, fresh & great food, excellent service!

Never had a bad experience! Food, staff are friendly, nice and efficient! Love love love it here!

This place was well worth the drive off the I-10! And well worth the wait as everything was cooked fresh! The shrimp and grits were to die for!

We eat breakfast here every weekend. They servers are great . The food never disappoints.

My husband and I have eaten here twice-- and BOTH times it has been excellent!On Friday, we went for lunch and instead of ordering from the menu, I chose to go with the daily lunch special they were offering, which was Crawfish Etouffee w/baguettes. And y'all, it did NOT disappoint! It was absolutely delicious!!Both times that we ate here, the food came out in a very timely manner and it was hot and fresh.Menu prices are very fair and inexpensive, especially considering the generous portions served.Our waitress, Summer, was excellent! She was very inviting, friendly and attentive.I don't remember our waitresses name from the first visit, but she was also an excellent waitress!We will definitely be going back often!

They got good hospitality out waitress was really sweet . The biscuits and gravy was delicious and plenty . My mother enjoyed her breakfast too. It's a down home feel and we look the family atmosphere. Y'all can go there and enjoy it too.

This is a great little hidden gem. If you're not looking for it, you'll pass it up. Just looking at the building, you'd never think they had some of the best food in the area.The fish n grits were so good, I had to get it a 2nd time in a row (which I never do anywhere) because I didn't want to believe it was the best fish n grits I had ever had. I was right, it was that good. Shrimp n grits are also just as good as anywhere and yes, they are different. The service is great! Your drink will stay full, you won't wait long for food, you can always find a server nearby that is willing to serve.This isn't your typical country style Mom n Pop shop. This has the perfect amount of New Orleans flair while staying true to homestyle cooking. It's a 45 minute drive for us but we have made it a Sunday brunch regular rotation.I wish I had more photos because the one I have doesn't do it justice. This bowl of fish n grits is more than one person should eat at one sitting but I can't help myself and I leave the place stuffed!I will have to update this post once we go back and I can get more pics.

Excellent food, Great Service… what more can you ask for?! Did a quick search for breakfast places, hit on Panola’s Cafe, sooo glad we decided to stop in. Wife had shrimp and grits and I had the Swamp omelette with hash browns. I Will be Going Back! Yes indeed
