We stopped by here for a quick snack while on the way home from Gainesville for the day…read more My wife and I have always loved Powell's Dairy Freeze! Love their milkshakes and all their food items! It has the 50's drive-in feel vibe going on. You park and they walk up to your car and take your order. Or you can get out and walk up to the window. Back in the early 1990's when I was working as a truck driver out of Jacksonville a few times a month I would stop by Powell's for lunch when traveling through Starke. Today we ordered a milkshake. I ordered the Cookies & Cream Milkshake and it was delicious!!!! The waitress was very friendly. It took maybe 5 minutes to get our 4 milkshakes for all of us. * Definitely recommend you stop by Powell's for lunch/dinner/snacks while traveling through the Starke area.

It is truly such a disappointment when I spend years raving about an establishment to scores of…read moreother foodies just to find out that when I return after a couple years, things have gone completely and utterly downhill. As a high-performing young person in the food industry and retail industry in the past, I usually give young people the benefit of the doubt working in a setting like this one. However, this most recent experience was an absolute sh*tshow from beginning to end. It cannot possibly be that difficult to take an order from the counter or the calculate the price of 3 items. Somehow these team members made it look like it was more difficult than rocket science, and did so at the slowest rate of any burger joint I've ever seen in my entire life. From not being greeted once, to taking 10 minutes to even get to pay, to absolutely no apology for how long it took or even a "thank you" or "have a nice night." I can count on one hand the times I've ever left an establishment without leaving a 20% tip but I've never seen a more deserving group of people to do it to. As for the food - who would've guessed that bagging corn nuggets before getting the burger it took 10 minutes to make would result in a barely warm bag of corn nuggets? More mysterious, however, was how in the world the burger wasn't hot after all that time cooking. Do yourself a favor and walk away if it takes you 3 minutes of standing directly in front of the team members who are at the counter with no greeting. Don't give them the benefit of the doubt, no matter how much you once loved it. I'm grateful for the experience to teach me to stop vouching for small town stops if I haven't been there myself recently. Here's to hoping no one I recommended this place to recently has gone, or that they had a better experience than I did!

I wish Yelp would allow half stars, as 3.5 fits this place for me…read more Staff was very friendly, from a greeting as you walk in all the way to a "thanks for coming" as you leave. I would give them a 4.5. Food was fresh tasting and quality ingredients. We had a pizza, chicken parm, and garlic knots. Chicken parm was good although the sauce was quite thin. The garlic knots really didn't have flavor. They were just bread knots that were very bland and relied totally on the marinara. The marinara was good though. Overall the pizza was good but same complaint as the knots with the pizza crust. I always eat the crust on pizza, but didn't hear, as it was just like eating plain bread. I will definitely give them another try when in the area cause I want to give them the 4 stars.

Don't judge the place by its exterior. Walked in and is a very relaxed, roomy restaurant with table like many of us eat at in yesteryear at home. Country table I think they call it. Big black board on wall with specials. Very detailed menu also. Cell service is not existent inside but I did see and use the guest WiFi. Several ladies serving or taking orders so service was great. Menu is pretty extensive but I finally settled on the Reuben and went with the soup as a side. The Reuben was delicious. Not overloaded like some try to do it but also not lacking. Delicious!. Now I know soup when it is 80 outside but she sold it well. She also did not oversell it as it was as good as she said. Loaded potato with bacon and cheese and broccoli. Wow. Cleaned it all up and washed it down with some truly awesome sweet tea.

Got our green tomatoes and they were even better than I remembered from the last visit! (Maybe I'm just getting old and my memory is going...but even my husband agreed!) I'm not beating around the bush today. Ordered 20 Smoky Mountain Gold traditional wings--you'd never catch me ordering boneless since I'm not really into chicken nuggets... My husband got the Philly Cheesesteak sandwich. He really enjoyed it...with a side of fries done to his perfect over-doneness lol My wings? Absolutely perfect! Delicious, cooked perfectly, well tossed in that golden tangy sauce. I only made it through 9 and gave one to my hubby to try. He agreed with how delicious they are. Well guess what I'm having for dinner tonight?? I have to say their service, quality of food and decent prices for what you get beats anyone else around!

The staff checked on us often with that perfect balance of no-nonsense efficiency and friendly Southern hospitality. You can tell this place runs on routine, experience, and pride in the food.
