Our brunch experience definitely confirmed that, with a tasty twist on Cajun cooking. My husband tried the Earlton Hash. A tasty combination of shrimp, andouille sausage, a creamy hollandaise sauce and done wonderful tiny potatoes all topped with a fried egg. This dish made for a memorable brunch. He topped it off with a bottle of beer to connect the two eating periods. I opted for the French Toast. It was tender and moist. It came with very crispy bacon. The dining room is nicely furnished with stained glass sea life. They also showcase artwork for sale. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. However, the kitchen is a bit slow in service. Side note-the restrooms, while functional, could use work. And for those looking for liquid refreshments there is an attached bar, with seating behind a full wall .

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 :)

Our waitress was named Willow, and she was amazing, Food came out hot and fresh i opted for simple chicken fried rice, wife and friends shared a big family boil.

OK I love fried shrimp, and as most folks from around here know when they think of fried shrimp…read morethey think Osteens in St. Augustine, and Osteens is indeed good, but Musselwhites is almost (within 95%) of Osteens except you don't have to wait outside for an up to an hour, they take credit cards, you can get a beer with your meal, their open on Sundays and you do not have to drive to St. Augustine. When I want fried shrimp today, Musselwhites is my goto place. Just as Osteens, the shrimp are two biters fried with a similar breading. As with Osteens, the dinners come with two sides and there is a large selections of fresh country sides to choose from. The hushpuppies are just as good as Osteens. They also serve a Menorcan seafood chowder here just as good or even better than the Osteens version and there is a fresh bottle of Dattle Sauce on the table to spice this red chowder up another notch or two if you are so inclined. We live in Green Cove, and it is about a 30 min drive to Musselwhites (one traffic light until you get to Palatka). If you love fresh Florida Fried shrimp, but don't want to deal with the hassles of Osteens, then Musselwhites just may fill the bill. I know it does for my family.

The sign out front advertises Thursday night special is a prime rib dinner. Hmmm. I wonder how much a piece of prime rib will cost here? Prime rib elsewhere runs about $26 or more, depending on the sides you get with it. So I go in and wait while they're clearing some tables, but this nice tall fellow asks me if I'm also waiting for a table and I reply with a smile and a yes. He asks how many? I hold up my index finger and he smiles and asks if I'd like to be seated outside on the porch--it's a nice evening, not hot--it's screened in and there's no bugs, so I knod approvingly and grab myself a small table with just the two seats. Also seated outside happened to be a lovely older couple who asked this fellow about their reservations coming up to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. I was unaware you could reserve the back porch for special events along with the "back yard" that's littered with the odd seating from rocking chairs to picnic benches, games of all kinds and even a quasi fire pit. Looks like they're going to have a great time with their family--some of whom are flying in from as far as Oregon. The interior is almost like walking into a Cracker Barrel but not as crowded--gifts, canned goods, pickled things, candy and lip balm. Cute cards and bottled wine. Everything intriguing and eye-catchingly clean and dust free. I've found that annoys me when items are left to gather dust and I think to myself "is it extra for the accumulation of dust on top?". I go ahead and decide to try their prime rib special, but forego the baked potato because there's no way I could eat all those carbohydrates...I get a small side salad and a small serving of "cowboy" beans, which are probably pinto beans . I also order their "cowboy" egg rolls and figure I'll eat a little and take the rest home. My salad comes to me and it's nothing fancy, but fresh and crisp. Then my egg rolls. Dipped in some ranch, they're really good. Coleslaw, briskety goodness. Not far into my first 1/2 of an egg roll, out comes my prime rib and it looks GORGEOUS! So glad I decided against getting a huge baked potato, because I ended up pouring the beans on the same plate, where they took a nice swim in the accompanying au jus. I've had lots of prime rib before. Always cooked in an oven and with tons of herbs on the outside. This is one I'd never had before in my whole life. Smoked prime rib. What a flavor difference! Usually, what's on the outside and the au jus and/or horseradish adds some flavor to a prime rib. Smokiness never enters that picture. It's a whole other taste/flavor sensation you're not expecting and are surprised when this tender piece of meat hits your tongue! So good! Will I go back? You betcha! $19.99 for a huge chunky slice of smoked prime rib and two sides? Heck yeah! There's a special most days, I heard. I'm going to hafta check out the rest of the days! Good service, good food and fabulous prices--NOW I know why they were packed!
