Velchoff's Corner

While passing through downtown Palatka, Florida, I stopped in for lunch and was pleasantly surprised by this small gem of a restaurant. It’s located in a beautiful old brick building that gives the place a great atmosphere, and there’s plenty of outdoor seating if you prefer to eat outside. The food quality was excellent and beautifully presented. What really impressed me was learning that all of the food is made fresh in a food truck outside—definitely not something you’d expect, and it speaks volumes about the care put into the meals. Everything tasted fantastic. This spot was well worth the stop, and I would absolutely come back again the next time I’m passing through Palatka. Highly recommended!

A+, 10 of 10 rating. Chicken sandwich on slaw was great. Wife had the blackened chicken with onion straws and a side salad and a cup of creamy grits. And a white Sangria. They get cheesecakes from a local maker - big pieces. We shared a slice of Orange Cheesecake. Amazing. Outside dining offers great views of the river!

We loved this restaurant. The service was great and the food was wonderful. My friend ordered the Blackened Fish and Garlic Shrimp over Dirty Rice and Salad Garni. She said she loved the lemon vinaigrette on the salad. I ordered the Deep South Burger. It had pimento cheese and fried green tomatoes on it. I also had a side of cheese grits. It was all delicious. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Best burger my husband has ever had! Excellent flavor. We also had the French dip and it was super tender and tasty. Collards were very good and rice pilaf was super. Heck I will even add that the ice water was great too. Excellent service, friendly staff, nice atmosphere. They have it going on and we will definitely be back!!

10/10 would recommend. I had the fish and grits the 1st time there. Fresh Mahi over delicious grits in a flavorful sauce with pork belly chunks. Delicious. I returned the next day to try something else. The cracker swamp burger was great. A lot going on with that burger. The meat was well seasoned with a nice peppery mix of seasoning. Cheese, egg, and fried onions made an over excellent taste. Fries were good as well. Both visits had top tier service. Very friendly and genuinely happy staff. Great place with reasonable prices.
