It was perfect like always. The double pork chops are well worth the hour drive across the state line. Blackberry cobbler and ice cream (wow mamma). Waitress was great very polite and respectful, all around great time. Will definitely be back with friends again. Great job guy and gals.

The Pond House is a hidden Gem located about 10 miles from Bainbridge, Winner of the best Steaks in 2019, Best Seafood and pork chops, you can not beat the quality, staff and price! If you come near by don’t miss it, remember to come Thursday to Saturday only and get there early

I heard this place had new owners. The employees didn't seem very friendly and the food wasn't prepared very well. Maybe it was a bad night for them but it is to far to go and isn't cheap for it not to be good.

A very nice atmosphere, we enjoyed our meal. We went the Saturday before mother's day. We got there about 15 minutes after they opened and our party of 8 got seated right away. Fried shrimp and pork chops were great. I can't wait to try the steak next time.

I am from out of state. I accidentally found this restaurant. I ordered a steak. Absolutely delicious and dripping with flavor and juices. The woman at the cash register was very kind, friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere in the restaurant is great. I will definitely be coming back.

My husband and I went to the Pond House to celebrate my cousin's 40th birthday. It was a bit of a drive ( around and hour and a half) to get there from where we live.I was slightly concerned when pulling up due to the restaurant reminding me of someone's home instead of being a popular restaurant, but we drove right in.The staff was very friendly and helpful. Being Southern, be all ordered sweet tea, which came out in pitchers and rolls that were soft and slightly buttery. I regret not taking any pictures of our actual meal. My husband got a combo platter with fried shrimp and crab cakes and I ordered a prime rib. The prime rib was the size of my very large plate. Soaking in the juices and cooked exactly how I asked it. It was delicious. My husband snarfed down his plate only left with a satisfied grin.I hate the drive, but food and service wise, this place is hands down a wonderful spot to visit!

I used to love coming to the Pond House for their seafood. I waited to write a review after going a couple times recently just to see if it was a bad night in the kitchen. Unfortunately not. We ordered the fried pickles as an appetizer. They were so salty that they were inedible. After telling the waitress this she just shrugged and walked off. Next was the seafood platter. The food looked and tasted as if it had just been sitting in the grease, and it also was so salty you couldn't even taste the food. On a positive note, another member of our party ordered the steak and it was fantastic. Here is hoping that they put the salt shaker up and change the grease so this place can go back to the old Pond House reputation.

The only good restaurant in area... Unless you want to drive to Dothan or Tally. Always busy. Took a very long time to get food last visit but usually that does not happen. Definitely will go back. The cobbler is excellent.

Food was great! 👍 Some of the best shrimp and scallops I've ever had. The waitress was always prompt and friendly. I love that they say a pitcher of tea in the table and left it, I hate running out and waiting. Steaks looked great, that might be next trip because I will definitely be back.

My husband and I had a date night here. We tried it because of the raving Google reviews, but we're sadly disappointed. First, let me say our waitress was super sweet. Service was not an issue. The menu had a wide variety of options and fairly reasonably priced. Those are all goodPros: -Friendly staff-Beautiful location and decor. Quaint.-Menu options-Self serve drinks -pitchers left on table-Left over steak cut thinly with provalone cheese on a slider bun was delish!Cons:-Steaks and chops way TOO salty Edit: Ends up it was the brine on the steak that was too salty. -Porkchops taste more like smoked ham - we bought leftovers to flavor green beans.-Sweet potato too small-Cheese in salad was literally a cube, like 1x1 cube or so it seemed.-Steak was overcooked - as well as the two at the table beside us. I didn't send it back because I know better. One of them did.-Those dang gnats!!! If we decide to go again, it will be in the winter, but that is unlikely.

You can certainly tell the Pondhouse has changed owners!!! My favorite two things from here have always been the cole slaw and the steak. Not anymore, the cole slaw didn't even taste like slaw and the steak was overdone. This will be my last visit especially after the rudeness I encountered when I complained about the food.

Pork chops. Yes, pork chops. Best ever!!!!!! Great service, awesome food. Worth the drive from Dothan. Parking is sketchy though. I was blocked in and if another customer had not moved, I would have had to find several people to move their vehicles. If you go, be careful on the parking. Can't emphasize enough.
