This was our second visit to Velchoff's. We loved the fries last time so we had to come back to try…read moretheir other menu items. We got hungry after running errands so went out for dinner this Thursday around 6pm, parked on the street (free parking), and seated immediately by a friendly hostess. We chose to eat indoors since it was hot out (90's) so we sat at table 1 for the high top seats to accommodate my husband's height. There were around 5 other tables occupied and the rest of the dining area was empty. Our server was Boo and she had a delightfully bubbly personality, letting us know the specials and local origins of the food. We ordered Coke no ice, ginger ale no ice, cajun fries no bacon, well-done Swamp Burger, buffalo chicken bites, and a mahi mahi fish basket. My husband decided to use their restroom, which interestingly enough, are located outside around the corner of the building. I'm guessing this was done so the chefs in the cooking area (in the food truck) could use them easily. Our drinks arrived in minutes and appetizer (cajun fries) arrived around 10 minutes later. The rest of the food was brought out about 10 more minutes after that. The entire order was correct and made very well. Cajun fries were crispy with gooey cheese sauce and cajun spices. Fish basket was tasty and not fishy at all (yay!). My husband said his burger was good and not oily. All in all, cost was about $95 with a generous tip. We would come back for another date here, hopefully with Boo as our server again :)

When we pointed it out, our waitress simply said, "Prices are subject to change." Shortly afterward, the board was taken down and the prices were changed to reflect the increase. The extra $2 isn't the issue--it's the principle. If a restaurant advertises a price, that price should be honored. The way it was handled felt dismissive and very customer-unfriendly. Unfortunately, we won't be returning. Apparently, prices weren't the only thing subject to change--the tip was too.

We had lunch at Mariscos El Pacifico in Palatka today. The service was excellent and our server was…read morevery attentive throughout the meal. We started with the Ceviche Pacifico, which stated it included shrimp, but there was no shrimp in the dish we received. It came in a red sauce, which was okay but not really what I expected. For my entrée, I had the whole red snapper, which was very good and probably the highlight of the meal. My husband ordered the shredded beef chimichanga. There was plenty of meat, but unfortunately much of it was very fatty and full of gristle, making it difficult to enjoy. We also had four beers with our meal. Overall, the restaurant seemed more like a seafood place than a Mexican restaurant. Our server did offer to bring my husband another meal, but we declined. Considering the issue with the chimichanga and the missing shrimp in the ceviche, I thought perhaps some type of discount or accommodation might have been offered, but nothing was. The fish was very good, and the service was excellent, but overall the experience was disappointing and not enough for us to return.

The spicy margarita that our bartender made was off the charts delicious. Probably the best margarita I've had in years. The chips were crispy, thin, and came out HOT. Unlike other places in town. The ambience is simple, but very clean and comfortable. I ordered the enchiladas suizas and my boyfriend had the fajitas. Everything was delicious. We will definitely be back. Additionally, we learned that pretty much all of the staff members commute to work in Palatka, from Jacksonville, every day. These are extremely hard-working people and the food that they are putting out is phenomenal. This restaurant deserves to thrive. I highly recommend checking them out. I forget what our bartender/server's name was, but he works on Sundays!

They asked me if I would like to be seated or if I wanted to go order. I've said this many times I absolutely love French toast, and I always judge it based upon whether or not it needs syrup. I ordered the French toast with one egg and the smoked sausage. The egg was your standard egg nothing special. The smoked sausage link was a sausage that I have never tasted it before, but it was good very flavorful and was not fatty at all. And now the king of the show or queen depending on who you're talking to... the French toast. I will say that the French toast was good however to me it tasted more like when you get a slice of bread at home, put butter on it with cinnamon and sugar and you put it in the oven on broil and let it toast a bit. It WAS delicious. The bread was delicious, but it did not taste like your typical French toast to me however, I would go back and order it again. They also had some really huge cinnamon rolls in there. I did not get one of those, but they were quite literally about the size of a person's plate. All in all I definitely would visit the diner again I could go without the egg, but the French toast and sausage definitely would have.

I for one am so glad our little area has this new place. And to anyone complaining about young staff who may have overlooked telling you about an up charge, how about thanking this place for offering jobs to young adults in our community. Teaching them valuable skills and setting them up for success. To those of us who can afford a $4 up charge we don't mind if they forget to tell us. Keep your negative comments to yourself and go eat at all of the other fine dining establishments in this little city! The majority of us love this place and want to see them do well.
