Loved this place! Went for a brunch with some ladies. Food and drinks were delicious! The service was pretty good too though we had a few discrepancies on the bill. Our waitress was very nice and gave great recommendations. The layout was nice! One side was the restaurant the other more of a bar area. read more

Although Pow was overall an enjoyable brunch, there are some areas they could improve. We sat on the lounge side, which I came to regret because the music was so loud I could barely hear my friend speaking and she was sitting right next to me. The service could also use some improvement as my waitress was seemed to do the bare minimum and did not check on us at all once she gave us our food. As for the food, everything was tasty. I ordered the salmon croquettes and grits, which were well seasoned. I do think they could have given me one more for $26, especially because they gave me so many grits. However, I definitely enjoyed the flavor and the grits were creamy. My friend also enjoyed her food and said everything was seasoned well. read more

I had an incredible experience at POW Restaurant & Lounge. I ordered the Lobster & Conch Fritter Waffle, Skillet Mac & Cheese, Spicy Collard Greens, and Candied Yams. Everything single dish was outstanding. The conch fritter was packed with flavor, with real chunks of conch you could taste in every bite. Perfectly seasoned and beautifully fried. The fried lobster on top was truly to die for -- tender, crispy, and seasoned to perfection. The spicy collard greens were cooked just right and full of flavor. The mac and cheese was rich and creamy with sharp cheddar, baked perfectly without being greasy. And the candied yams were sweetened to perfection. I also tried their Hennessy Lemon Drop, which was amazing and balanced beautifully. The service was immaculate. The staff checked on me consistently, making sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed. Everything came out hot and fresh. The chef even came out to greet us and shared that everything is made from scratch, which made the experience feel even more special. Overall, an amazing dining experience from start to finish. I'll definitely be back. read more

My boyfriend and I was looking for somewhere to eat that has southern food. We stumbled upon this place and we had no reservations. We were seated immediately upon entry but the space is so small. If you have a large party this not the place for it. The tables were so close to the next guests it almost feels like I'm in a living room. Everyone conversations were carrying over it was soo loud plus the music playing. The tables being so close turnt me off. After sitting and waiting for our meals we didn't realize it took an hour for our food to come until the table next to us asked us how long we were here for. I wasn't sure why our meal took so long and the waitress apologized. I also had a fake eyelash in my drink but the staff was very nice to switch it without a problem. The food overall was seasoned very good and came out hot which made up for the tight space. I'll come back possibly on a different day where it's less pack because it was Sunday brunch time. read more

I checked this place out for brunch with a few others. We made a reservation online in advance which I definitely recommend as it is a small place that gets very busy very quickly. The location isn't great, but don't let that deter you from stepping inside where the decor is beautiful. My party was seated immediately upon our arrival and greeted quickly by our server. The good: the food was absolutely incredible. I ordered the catfish and grits which was well seasoned and a solid portion size that I had to take half of to go. My friend ordered catfish, yams, and greens and had rave reviews for her meal. The third member of our party ordered the shrimp and grits and said the flavor was great but was a little disappointed in the lack of shrimp in the dish. We also ordered mimosas which were pretty standard but a little pricey at $11/ glass. The bad: We were informed that our server was new which definitely came across. She didn't introduce herself and appeared as if she hated every second of being there. She didn't make any recommendations or explain much of the menu. She didn't instinctually do anything like bring water to the table, take empty plates, ask if we wanted refills, or offer to bring boxes when it seemed like the meal was wrapping up. We had to ask her and others working for pretty much everything. We also felt extremely rushed at the end of our meal (around the 90 minute mark) as she came over ready to cash us out while we were still eating and basically stared at us from a far until we left the table. I understand that the place is busy, but that experience in itself had me vow to never eat in the restaurant again. The food is so good, however, that I would absolutely order take out if I was in the area. I don't know if it was because we were there before the dj came, but I definitely felt that the vibes were off which was unfortunate as I was really looking forward to eating here. Definitely come for the food but do not expect good service. read more

I had the conch waffle, eggs, and bacon and everything was delectable and full of flavor. My friend had the chicken and banana pudding waffle and it was amazing as well. Ambiance is nice and elegant. The manager was amazing as well! read more

This was my first time at the restaurant and it was a great experience. The restaurant was clean and the decor was nice. It's split between a "traditional" dining experience and a bar and lounge experience. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. We were seated shortly after arriving and we didn't have to wait long for a waitress. Our waitress was Tara and she was great. I ordered the chicken and waffles. The chicken was generously seasoned and the waffle was good. I was also able to taste the grits and it was creamy and delicious. The presentation and over all taste of the food was great. I had the Pow mimosa and it was delicious. The music was also great. We came in to some gospel music and it transitioned to some smooth R&B. The bar and lounge area was a nice vibe with some early 2000s R&B. I'll definitely be back read more

We came here on route for the F1 race to grab a quick bite. Nicely built out dining room, feels a bit like a club, but nice. Server was kind and friendly. We got pancakes, waffles, breakfast platters, etc. It was good, not great, diner like meal. Only thing that really threw us off was the music channel was set to a religious sermon. It was Sunday, so I understand, but just not something I was expecting. We asked them to turn it down and they kindly did. read more

Man, the food was so good I really want to give them 4 stars! But there were just a couple things that need to improve so I can do that. The food was delicious! I ordered the Shrimp & Grits and also shared the Chicken & Waffles. The grits for the Shrimp & Grits were so creamy and cheesy! They fit my flavor profile to the T!! However my dining partner did not enjoy them, feeling like they were too cheesy to have with fried catfish. The shrimp were perfectly cooked and dressed in an amazing cream sauce that I wish there were a little more of on the dish. The waffle was delicious! Crispy, not too dense even though it was almost an inch thick, great buttermilk flavor. The wings were just alright but seasoned well. I did taste the catfish which was fried to perfection, just needed a hair more seasoning. What keeps me from that 4 rating is a couple things. I visited on a Friday just before noon. There was a crowd and as tables left, tables came right in the door. There was one extremely hard-working hostess/waitress. She had to work the entire room. She did great for the conditions but her manner reflected working under a lot of pressure. While it took us a while to have the chance to order, the food came out in a decent amount of time. I tell you, I was shocked to be handed a utensil kit like you get with takeout orders upon walking towards the table. Then to be brought our drinks in plastic and styrofoam cups... This was not what I expected because from the hype I've heard about this spot, I was of the belief the experience would be a little more classy. Sorry, just being honest. Maybe this was because they were short-staffed and couldn't deal with dishes? I don't know but boy, the paper service items really took me by surprise. Other reviewers have mentioned the small size. I hadn't read reviews before visiting so this was an adjustment for me as well. They have done an awesome job of filling the space to capacity but it does mean very close quarters while dining. When other guests (multiple, different tables) are having facetime conversations that make it hard to hear the person you are sitting across from, it does impact the experience. Add in the R&B (awesome selections, btw) pumping out of a speaker at ear-level, it felt like a lot. (Suggestion: put the speaker at the top of the wall.) Again, the food was phenomenal for me! And the prices were reasonable for what the experience is (I believe) intended to be. But we have to get some proper beverage containers and silverware. I would visit again in the future if I knew these things were addressed. read more

Decent food, mixed experience!!!!!!! I visited Pow Restaurant and had an average experience overall. The menu offers some interesting options, and a few dishes were enjoyable, but others felt underwhelming and lacked bold flavor. Portions were reasonable, but nothing really stood out. Service was polite, though not very attentive at times, and there were delays during the meal. The atmosphere was comfortable and modern, which made the visit more pleasant. Overall, Pow Restaurant is okay for a casual meal, but consistency and stronger flavors would make a big difference!!! read more

Food is GREAT. Servers and hostess are GREAT. VIBE is great. The area and plaza it's in is not aesthetic at all BUT inside is very nice, bathroom clean. However we booked a party and there are too many rules, can't decorate table, like nothing. Not even table cloth. They don't have appetizers so can't order any for the table. I figured I'd just order sides as apps but nope you can't put in multiple orders, only 1 big order for entire table. So couldn't do that. Management needs to figure out these little tweaks because this place has great potential. Overall good experience. read more

Let me start with the food. My compliments to the chef. EVERYTHING we ordered was delicious! Catfish & grits, Salmon & grits, OMG! The Salmon croquettes were made from fresh salmon and therefore were on the small side, especially for the price, but nonetheless, delicious. Now for the not so good... as nice as the ambience was and as pricey as the food was, we did NOT expect to receive our coffee in a paper cup and our water in a short plastic glasslike cup. The mimosa was served the same as the water; and the mixed drink was served in a tall glass with a flower (umbrella) or something decorative. To my surprise the environment was a bit loud due to the music. That food, though!!! I'll go back. read more

Food was tasty but the wait was over an hour for take out. The portions were good except for the collard greens. It was just turkey skin. Very little greens. Three bites max of greens. read more

POW was cool, but it didn't totally wow me. I ordered the fried chicken and waffles, which was good, but honestly, it was your typical fried chicken and waffles--nothing too special. The drinks, though, were delicious and definitely hit the spot. It's one of those typical brunch spots with loud music and hookah, so if that's your vibe, you'll love it. The service was great, but the location looked rundown. Overall, I enjoyed the experience, but I probably wouldn't go back. read more

When we entered, because my friend had been here before, she knew the waitress. She greeted her and gave us a choice of seats. We scanned the qr code for the menu. Our waitress came over and introduced herself, Marlo. She was training a new waitress. She said we don't have croquettes. We said ok, thanks. She asked us if we would like something to drink. My friend ordered coffee. I asked for a diet coke. Marlo said, "we don't have that". I asked if they had anything diet. She said, (with a matter of fact tone), no water. At that point she lost me. My friend ordered the lamb chops, Parmesan potatoes, a side of cheesy grits, toast and grape jelly. I placed my order, conch fritter waffle. Marlo said, "we don't have that". My friend said, you said there were no croquettes. She said, "oh my bad". I said if I had known, I would have a selected something else. She said take your time, while standing impatiently waiting for me to order. I ordered an omelet. (Not what I wanted). After we were almost finished eating, Marlo brought the mixed fruit jelly. The lamb chops and potatoes were piping hot. The chops were tender and the potatoes were very tasty. My omelet was also hot, the bacon was crispy but I have had a better omelet at Denny's. SN: the new waitress name was Tera. Her personality was fabulous. She was very polite. I am recommend POW because of the food taste. I am rating a 3 star because of Marlos attitude and the omelet has a lot to be sdesired. Ask for Tera's section. read more

Hubby had the Lamb Chops which were rested on some roasted Parmesan red potatoes that had cheese baked on the bottom. I don't eat red meat but tried a lil taste and the flavor was all there!!!

Great hidden gem. Great service and food is wonderful. The ambiance is welconibg and vibe is great.

Visited the location recently on my birthday. We had to wait for other members of my dining party to arrive so we were allowed to wait in the waiting area of the lounge area which is separate from the restaurant seating area. Once seated, Our server Marlo, was very knowledgeable and suggested the best drinks and food options available. Everyone in my party basically ordered the same thing: strawberry lemonade mimosas, the blackened salmon, lamb chops and shrimp. The grits that accompanied each entree were hot and creamy as needed. The garlic Parmesan potatoes I ordered were wonderful as the cheesy crust took it over the top! The portions are perfectly sized and halfway through you will feel full. The decor and ambiance was amazing as any brunch spot with music. read more

Place has a restaurant side and a lounge side. Restaurant was booked so we went on the lounge side to sit at the bar to wait. Ended up ordering food there while listening to the DJ play all the great hits. Place was really a vibe. No alcoholic drink menu so we just had to think of whatever we wanted in hopes the bartender could make it. Drinks ended up great and food was phenomenal. Lamb chops were an absolute 10 along with the catfish and all the sides. read more

Fairly new business. Customer service was good. Two sides of the restaurant, one more for dining and the other side a lounge. It's not in the hood, but it gives hood vibes from the exterior. I had the Salmon & Grits (oh so good) and my guy had the Lobster & Conch Waffle (fyi, it's a conch fritter). We made reservations, but they were not that busy for a Sunday morning. Will definitely go again!! read more
