    Banana pudding
    Rello R.

    I will say that this is an amazing spot! Great customer service and the food is good. I have went twice each time they have a new menu and the food is past amazing. The drinks are really good. The lemonades are really good. Everything is fresh and made to order. I love how they treat you and interact with you to make sure you like your food and everything is to your liking. If you are in Jarrell this area is the best spot in town!

    Nice place to go to sit outside in Jarrell but very disappointed in their chicken basket with waffle fries for $10.00. Chicken nugget's

    The gumbo here is legit! And don't miss out when they do shrimp and grits, roast beef, or the bread pudding!

    Louisiana crawfish!!

    If you're looking for the best Cajun food around then look no further than PopPop's!!! Hands down the best bowl of gumbo I've ever had, and if a bowl isn't enough he'll sell you a gallon! You want it spicy? You sure?? You got it!! My other favorites are his shrimp and grits (seriously....THE BEST) etouffee, stuffed tenderloin, Mississippi pot roast, jambalaya, sausage balls....ok I'm drooling.... Aside from his classics he's always adding new and fun stuff to try like the fried lobster...you read that right, fried. lobster. YUM. The fried food is always on point but honestly...if you come to PopPop's to only get chicken tenders...you're selling yourself short. Oh, and you HAVE to go when it's crawfish season....he drives to Louisiana to get the big bois and the flavor and spice are on point!!! PopPop also caters and no party is too big! He treats you like family and there's nothing he wouldn't do to ensure you aren't absolutely satisfied with your meal, so go give 'em a try!!

    I could write sonnets about Poppop's gumbo. Delicious, chicken and sausage gumbo over dirty rice. I chose the "spicy" option that was catered for my job's Labor Day party and as a native southeast Texan I can confirm, this is the best gumbo you will find in central Texas. The closest thing to authentic Louisiana cooking you will find. Every bite was more delicious than the last.

    Fried pickles and hushpuppies

    Awesome staff and even better food! Their gumbo is perfect and they offer different peppers to spice it up! Very good fried pickles. Highly recommend making a trip up to see them :)

    Yummy !!! Our spring break was made !!! Gumbo and the most awesome customer service! We are so lucky

    So when is this place actually open? Not on the hours listed on Yelp. I tried to go for lunch on Friday and nada.

    Our apologies. We were open at noon but the park didn’t have enough business. I forgot to update the hours. Thank you for letting us know. We’ll be there Friday at 4:00 if you would like to stop by and receive a free order of gumbo for your…

    This is a must for anyone visiting Texas as it is one of the best venues for food and family…read moreentertainment. Locals love it and once you see it you understand why. The kids can play in an area within parents' eye sight while they enjoy themselves or are waiting to be eated. The food is excellent and service is fast and friendly. I have enjoyed their pork chop and at other times their shrimp and grits. There truly is something for everyone here. I can vouch for both. The pork chop is grilled to a juicy perfection. The shrimp and grits has enough heat to get your heart going and your mouth watering. Prices are very reasonable for what you get. This is one of the local gems that is well worth a visit. I promise you, it won't be your last visit!

    Been here several times. Over the last 6-8 months the service has drastically declined and the…read moreword quality should never be used in a sentence describing their food. My wife and I went tonight because I wanted fish and chips. BTW, we live less than a mile away so it is convenient and was on the way home from where we came from. Saying the fish & chips were awful is a compliment. It looked and tasted like chicken fried steak minus the gravy. It was maybe 1/4 inch thick with tons of dry crust and was as dry as their parking lot. Note, if you order fish and it is served with a steak knife, that is a red flag. The chips were chewy. You have to order at the door and 90 seconds in I am given a tablet asking for the tip for my service which has not happened yet. My wife and I ordered iced tea and set at the bar so we could watch the world cup. Since we were not drinking bar drinks, the bartender ignored us and never refilled our tea. The manager was sitting at the end of the bar with another guy that was wearing a Briteside t-shirt drinking a beer and dropping F-bombs. Keep in mind this is a place that caters to families with elementary and junior high kids and they are dropping F-bombs right and left. Manager did come over and ask how my food was. I said "awful". He asked why and I said what I said above. He said "well the cook cooked it too long". No offer of any kind to fix the situation. No apology. When we left he did apologize for the fish but I stated that I didn't feel he meant it since he pretty much dismissed my complaint by changing the subject to the fly fishing resort referenced on my shirt. Again, no attempt to fix this. I said I won't be back and he said 'okay'. So, I won't be back and I suggest, unless you want to drop off your kids at a whiffle ball court and water slide while you drink beer and don't care about the food or the service, don't go.
