    From time-to-time, I work as a corporate trainer to industries in the area, and the employees at a…read morefirm I work with recommended that I try the burgers at Poteet's Pit Stop. During lunch today I happened to be in the Deridder area so I decided to give them a try. My first impression of the place was "this place serves food?" It looks like a rural truck stop, with a mechanic on-duty next door and a salvage yard in the back. Nevertheless, I decided to go in and give it a try. The place is pretty much a convenience store, with a grill that not only serves burgers, but also Krispy Krunchy Chicken and Hunt Brothers Pizza. They have a really comprehensive menu, serving breakfast to fried seafood dinners. Since everyone at the plant raved about the double bacon cheeseburger, I decided to give that a try, along with waffle fries and a drink. The lady behind the counter informed me the Coca Cola soda fountain was out-of-order the day I visited, and I should pick up a bottled soda instead. After taking my order, she informed me there is a 20 minute wait for the food to be ready. I decided to sit in the dining area to wait, and it is a small area with a TV playing FOX News (the remote was available if anyone wanted to change the channel). Overall it is clean and there is WiFi but I didn't ask for the password. Poteet's Pit Stop is clearly popular as many people came and went as I waited. There were also a lot of people who called in earlier and just came to pick up their orders. About 20 minutes passed and my food was ready. I picked up my drink and decided to eat in the car, in consideration of social distancing during this COVID-19 period. There is a Baptist Church with a large parking lot next door so I decided to stop there to dine in my vehicle. The fries turned out to be hot, freshly made, and has the right amount of seasoning. Best of all was the burger, which was hot and fresh with a generous amount of grilled onions, cheese, and bacon. I opted for the jalapeno bread, which made a difference, and overall it made a hearty meal. Overall, Poteet's Pit Stop was quite a surprise, and is perhaps one of Deridder's best-kept secrets for an excellent burger. The service was friendly, the ladies working were real sweethearts, and the food just wonderful. I will certainly come back the next time I am looking for lunch in the area!

    This place is truly a hidden gem in Leesville! My family of four ordered:…read more * Chicken fried steak with fries, red beans, and a fried pistolette * Gumbo with potato salad and a fried pistolette * Grilled pork chop dinner with a side salad and steamed vegetables * Kids' chicken tender meal When my side salad arrived, the lettuce wasn't up to my standards, so I sent it back. The manager came over right away to ask what the issue was. To me, it was obvious--the lettuce had soggy, brown pieces--but I simply explained that I'm very picky about lettuce. She told me it was from a fresh bag that had just been opened, but I decided to switch my side to the rice and gravy instead. I'm glad I did! The rice and gravy was delicious. The gravy was rich, dark brown, thick, and coated the rice perfectly. The steamed vegetables were the only disappointment, as they seemed like they had been microwaved. However, the grilled pork chop, although thin, was seasoned well and cooked perfectly, staying surprisingly juicy. The chicken fried steak was excellent, with crispy fries alongside it. The red beans were decent but nothing particularly memorable. The gumbo was very good, and the potato salad paired with it perfectly. The kids' chicken tenders were outstanding--juicy, well-seasoned, and fried to perfection while still staying moist inside. Overall, this is definitely a restaurant I'd return to. The staff handled my concern professionally, the service was great, and most of the food was excellent. Next time, I'll simply skip the salad.
