“ Love this place, they serve you a lot of food and it's so good you want to eat it all. But my husband always finishes my plate for me. ”
“ We live out of state and visited Pot and Paddle about two years ago. The staff was very friendly and let us sample the jambalaya before we purchased. It was delicious. We were in town again this week and stopped by the night before Thanksgiving. I was disappointed that they were out of jambalaya and only had pastalaya. I had already decided to just wait until our next visit, but ended up trying the pastalaya anyway. It was also delicious. The staff again were incredibly friendly. Whatever it takes, I will always come back when we are here. ”
“ Being from out west I’m here for training and they recommended this restaurant. The food was fantastic! Staff was very friendly and offered great advice on what to order. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would. If I’m sent back this way in the future I’m definitely going to be making a pit stop for some food. ”
“ Great food. Great daily special!! Always served in a to go box because you are not going to finish it. My husband travels for work near this location and we were passing thru on vacation and he recommended we eat here. As a matter of fact, it was one of the cheapest meals we had on vacation! ”
“ This place is absolutely amazingly good!!! I have been staying at the hotel next to it on and off for almost 3 years. I wish I would of found this place sooner. I walked in and there was literally nobody there which was great. My order was taken immediately and food was out before I was even done paying. I had chicken and sausage jambalaya that was just on point!! I don't like a bunch of big chunky vegetables in my jambalaya and it's hard to find a place that doesn't have it in there!! Well... This place don't, as it just has the rice, spices, chicken, sausage and the flavor is not comprised!!! Second I had a bowl of red beans and rice which again was amazing. Last but not least, I had two small sides of navy beans is what I call them. Some might call them white beans. I can't find many restaurants that have these and again these were so good and off the charts!! One more thing is the price.. The price was very very reasonable and I felt like i got more than my moneys worth. This food was so good that I'm driving back to home tomorrow in Houston. Texas and I'm going straight to the store to buy the stuff to try my hand at some jambalaya. lol. All around good experience and definitely will be back!! ”
“ Just like Momma's cooking! I just found this place, & I'm glad I did. If you're a local, you will find the menu here familiar. Jambalaya & Gumbo are the standard fare, but there's a lunch special that's gool ol' Southern comfort food. Today was chicken stew, pork roast, & a dish called the Charlie Johnson. I had the stew, & it was yummy! The chicken was very tender, & the flavor was, well, to repeat myself, familiar. It tasted exactly as it should've! The store was clean, & staff was very friendly & helpful, too. I'd highly recommend the Pot & Paddle restaurant. (It's off the Cabelas Parkway, on the right. I'll see you there!) ”
“ This place is definitely a 20/10!! You get so much food for the price and everything taste so good. We ordered the meal deal jambalaya which came with a side of gumbo and 2 other sides and everything was so worth it. We had a lot left over (which is what's in the picture) so make sure you come with an empty stomach. Additionally the service was wonderful! The lady was very helpful with explaining the menu to us and was also very friendly. I would definitely stop by here again. Another plus is that it's so close to a lot of hotels! ”
“ Great place nice and clean and the service was fast, not a big seafood fan and was surprised they had chicken and sausage jambalaya so hats off to this place the red beans were on point and the gumbo was decent but tasty really like the food and recommended you come on by hungry because the portions were pretty good size overall great little stop and will most definitely try it again if in the area and recommended you give them a try. ”
