I just find these people to be amazingly friendly, not only the folks who work here and the one who runs the place, but even the people who come in as customers, it's just got that hometown feeling. They have a billiards section and a lounge when you come in, but in the back corner pocket, there's a nice spot to sit and enjoy some really great southern cooking thats clearly made with care. If you like chicken and dumplings, this is the place to come, or maybe breakfast, they can't be outdone. My tables orders first was the bad a chicken sandwich topped with a delicious cheese crisp , next the build-your-own burger with added onion rings, and that burger was at least 4 inches tall! Last but not least was a toasted turkey sandwich with tater tots. Everything was made fresh and so tasty. Their menu is full of great Southern cooked items to choose from and daily specials that will have you definitely saying that was delicious on your way out. read more

Surprisingly good for a pool bar :). that's billiards not swimming btw. I had scrambled eggs with spinach, mushrooms and onions. Supposed to come with chicken, but I passed on the chicken, wish more places had discounts when you say no meat, but whatev. Hence, the knockdown on a star. The biscuit was homemade, not overly butter, but still good. They make their own jam, I had the strawberry which was nice, but wished I had ordered blueberry. The home fries were solid. Impressively, not overly greasy and not overly salty. read more

Good ole fashioned pool hall with good ole fashioned country food. We like it. The staff are nice, the fried chicken Tuesday is yummy.

What a fun place to come and let loose!! Our friends, my husband, and I had such a good time playing pool last night! We met some awesome people, listened to an amazing, live performer (singer), and enjoyed some spirits! The only reason I minused a star is that we left early because it was so muggy and hot inside. read more

The Corner Pocket - Pool Halls Near Me - Green Cove Springs, Florida

I've visited this place for years. The old owners are amazing people. They new owners have gone with a different feel/style, and it's more of a sports bar now, which is great. The food is good, staff are all very nice and the remodel looks so good. Definitely get the banana pudding! I love the little town of Green Cove, but if you visit, you have to stop by here! It's also next to the beautiful spring park! read more

Our Red Hat Chapter revisited The Corner Pocket as we had promised to do last year when we first went. The food is all fresh, homemade and everyone enjoyed their meals. I have the BLT because of my onion allergy, but it was fine (I had it my first visit, too). I tried their macaroni and cheese. It's nicely cheesy, but not creamy (just in case you're expecting that). The staff is very friendly and checked back with us regarding more to drink. Because it's a pool hall, one might not expect it to be warm and welcoming but it is! Families could really enjoy eating here and the children could learn the game! If you're looking for something neat to have a family get-together and meal at, try The Corner Pocket! read more

Had heard positive things about this place, so wanted to check it out. Cheri, the owner, warmly greeted us. When she found out it was our first time, she eagerly shared menu favorites and details. She is very committed to making her place work and to making sure excellent customer service is provided to all. I ordered the four sides plate. I chose: green beans (delicious), mashed potatoes with cream cheese (tasty) with white gravy (arrived ice cold right out of the refrigerator), macaroni and cheese (tasted decent, but could have used more cheese), and 3 one-half deviled eggs (tasty). It took awhile to get hot gravy and by then the potatoes were almost gone. I also had cornbread that was good. It was covered in butter and I like putting butter on the inside. My friends each got the chicken and dumplings. Both dishes had to be sent back to the kitchen to be heated, as they arrived luke warm. One liked the heated dish and the other one didn't. There are lots of delicious sounding dishes on the menu. I may give the restaurant another try. What also may motivate me to try again is the commitment of the owner to customer service. Will let you know! read more

great service and very good food. the best beef vegetable soup and the the BLT had tons of bacon. friends ordered the shrimp and they could not eat all them! highly recommend. read more

Mediocre food high prices coupled with warm beer not a very good place to be. Probably won't try again for a while. read more

Owner came over and met us so we felt like wow this might really be a good place even though the decor and atmosphere is not all that but that wasn't important to us. The quality of the food is what we wanted. I'm not sure if the owner bought it just so she had a place to hang out or what but I would not waste my money on going there unless maybe like to drink and play pool because their food is nothing to write home about such a shame people don't take pride in their business and serve good food read more

Food is hit or miss. Service is very slow when picking up for lunch and consistently wrong. Sadly- I try so hard to patron small businesses but I have to say this is the last time I will go there. Prices are ridiculous for the portion. See attached picture of Chef Salad, which was $15. read more

The food was very tasty and the service was great. A little secret diner inside a pool hall. Great find!

The Corner Pocket - Fried chicken special!!! Everything here is so good. It's like my grandma is in the kitchen cooking! - Pool Halls Near Me - Green Cove Springs, Florida

You stay long enough you'll want a cigarette. Make sure you have febreeze in the car. I crashed a boys night out - since I was really that bored- and I didn't complete hate it. Place is super easy to find at night because everything else is close and this place is lit up like a Christmas tree. Park on the street, take your last breath of fresh air and walk in. Place is freezing and the tables are well maintained. Nothing serious with the music - expect country - thankful this was a plus for me. But the smoke was serious (for me). After a few minutes you get use to it. It's not until you walk back outside that you notice how badly you smell like an ash tray. No scary moment here. Crowd is young and old and most people seem to know the owner. Plenty of space to do a little two set to the right music. Never thought about trying the food but it looked good. Ambience more casual than divey so mind your manners and enjoy a game or two. read more

Used to come here a lot. Service and food been going done for months now. Came for breakfast today. Country fried steak and eggs. Portion of potato's was literally 3 bites. What really made it my last visit was the double pour Tito's screwdriver that was so weak that I asked for another shot. $26 for one drink with the 25% tip. Good luck Corner Pocket. read more

Stopped in on a wim and we were just going to get a couple drinks, and we had heard the food was good.... The young bartender had to pull out a rolodex to make the drinks, which was no big deal except that every time a would be regular came up she went to them and after about 3 or 4 times we left.... I do understand making your regulars a priority, but not at the risk of losing new customers... read more

skip this one. came for lunch it was not busy i ordered a cheeseburger with pepper jack cheese medium rare. it took at least 30 minutes. the fries were cold the burger was over cooked and just barely warm and they had no pepper jack cheese read more

Best place to play pool in NE Florida! Amazing food as well! Carrie the best Bartender around! We look forward to our league night at Corner pocket! read more

Bad Ass Chicken Sandwich was awesome always look forward to having this sandwich or even in a salad.

Thought would be more like a diner but this is def more bar scene. Also everyone raved about the food but the nachos and sandwich was just average. Also would add service was pretty bad. No direction not welcomed not given menus and took awhile to get the food out. Would not go back. read more

Awesome place and a pleasant surprise!!! Was thinking it was just a pool hall, but noticed it was a diner as well. Went there for the first time yesterday as we just moved to GCS and exploring the area. Nice bartender Cassie greeted us and told us about the menu. The owner, Sherry, such a sweet person.. she came out and told us what she had made fresh that day. She uses her mother's recipes and makes delicious southern food. I got the fresh meatloaf, mashed potatoes/gravy and fresh broccoli casserole. It was sooo good!!! My husband got the 'bad ass chicken sandwich' he said it was the best chicken sandwich he's ever had. I said to the owner Sherry that I know she can make some good dessert. She brought us out her homemade banana pudding. Ummm the best EVER!!! We already want to go back today. And we just may. Super nice people and delicious food. read more

We have only been for breakfast, but this is my favorite place to eat in the area. The owner and staff are amazing, you are like family. The food that comes out of the kitchen is like your grandmother is in there and knows you are hungry. Today, tender chicken fried steak, country gravy, two eggs, home fries, two slices of toast with strawberry jam, $11. My buddy Jim got S.O.S, two eggs, and we both had coffee, total bill $25 even. Spent 2 hours talking with my buddy, coffee, breakfast, and great hospitality, worth every penny. Thank you, can't wait to go back. read more

The Corner Pocket is a hidden gem in Green Cove Springs. The food is delicious but the owners and staff are amazing. I stopped by to pick up some lasagna and received much more than food. The owners took time to introduce themselves and made me feel welcome. They couldn't have known how much their kindness meant to me. In addition to the bar and pool tables there is an area inside and out in which you can dine. They are close to Spring Park. Come try them out ! read more

The owner was rude and disrespectful. Just wanted to play pool. Says we have to order food in order to play. That it's the law because of the corona virus. Tried to order something, then said it's an $8 minimum on food orders. Couldn't just order drinks. What a joke read more

I was introduced to the Corner Pocket when I first started dating my husband. When he said he played in a pool league, I was hesitant at first, because in my head, I saw a dingy, dark, smoky bar with pool tables. This place is nothing like that... It's very large and open with smoke fans to inhale the smoke before you do...very bright with many, many lights, a jukebox that's pretty much always blaring country music, and a pretty good selection of fresh-cooked food (no microwave meals) on the menu. They have soft drinks, beer, and wine, but no liquor, which I consider a good thing. The majority of people here are family people (but no kids) who are just there to have a good time. The owners, Homer and Barbara, are friendly and accomodating...although Homer tries to give people a hard time on occasion, it's all in a good way. To sum up, I went from dreading this place to being there two nights a week, every week playing in a league, and still going up there some nights I don't have to....this is a great place to go and hang out! read more

TCP is one of my family's favorite "HANG OUT's" My wife and I started going there over 3 years ago and we have been going there ever since. I am a military veteran and I have been in pool halls since the 80's and The Corner Pocket is my favorite. Here is my list for a great pool hall... 1. Well maintained pool tables and pool cue's 2. Great food and drinks available 3. Good juke box and sound system 4. EASY to get to location 5. Proper air conditioning and ventilation so cigarette smoke is filtered out 6. Friendly staff 7. League play The Corner Pocket has it all. Lisa and Mike (owners) are friendly and accommodating. When our kids visit you can be sure that we will go there for a family night. My wife and I went this last Saturday (5 OCT) and had a great time. https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Corner-Pocket/109908765712259 read more

I'm a city girl used to having a wide array of delicious options available and delivered fast when I reach "hangry" level. Green Cove Springs food delivery has been a challenge, but EUREKA! The Corner Pocket! The owner prepares fresh and incredible meals with friendly, fast delivery. Daily specials keep the menu interesting. And the desserts, don't get me started! Heaven. The only downside to this amazing find is that the homemade banana pudding is so divine that I will have to start lobbying for a 24 hour gym in GCS. read more
