Reviews
My husband and I recently did a road trip and stopped here for lunch. This is truly a hidden gem. It was packed but the service was quick so we really just waited 15 min to be seated. Our server was very sweet. It was decorated with pictures of the everglades and a gator by the cashier. Very casual family owned diner. We shared the biscuits and gravy and they were mouthwatering good! My husband the had steak and gravy which he liked. I tried their fried chicken sandwich and it was fried to perfection. A definite must try!
I must have passed this place a thousand times! Wow! What was I thinking? I stopped by for brunch and man was I impressed. When you walk in they have an alligator head in the checkout counter and mounted fish all over the walls, with a little boat hanging from the ceiling! It's a breakfast and lunch diner. I had the catfish wrap. Thought I'd try something different? It was excellent! Also a side of a half order of biscuits and gravy. Very tasty! My guest had a roast beef sandwich which was also very tasty. I had my favorite drink, unsweetened iced tea which came in a very large glass and my guest had a cup of coffee which was also a large cup. Very reasonably priced. It's sort of hidden since the building is sideways to the highway and there's no sign? It's about a quarter mile past Walmart headed north on 441 on the east side. Definitely worth a try!!! So if you're in the okeechobee area and looking for an excellent meal, stop in, you'll be glad you did!
Pogey's is a down-to-earth family restaurant that if you know where to look on Parrot Avenue, you will find a good meal for a decent price and not leave hungry. We were in town for a wedding. And before we returned back to South Florida, we found this spot for Sunday breakfast. With the wait for tables a few parties deep, we were fortunate to find a couple of stools at the counter that we could sit immediately. After ordering iced coffee, I enjoyed the sausage gravy and biscuits platter while my wife had the Reuben omelette. Both her and I enjoyed our meal, with my ordering an extra side of bacon because bacon. The sausage gravy was solid with the biscuits, hash browns, and eggs over medium. The restaurant has a notable fishing motif with the wall behind the front counter having a large mural of the Pogey family on a fishing boat in the Everglades. Definitely a lot of local and family vibes for this eatery that will give you a good meal if you are passing through or staying the night.
Food is always amazing! The waitress are very kind and they make you feel at home! Nothing better than a affordable good place to eat!
Looking for a delicious no frills breakfast? Look no further. Grabbed the country fried steak and eggs. The steak was so tender, and biscuits were light and fluffy . Everything else was cooked perfectly. It was so good I went back the following day. The service was great also. Check out this local eatery when you're in town. They are only open for breakfast and lunch.
