Pogey's Family Restaurant — Restaurant in Okeechobee

A rating on 10!!!  Clean establishment, friendly helpful staff from greeting to beyond getting the check with great easy conversation, food was so large and delicious forgot to take pictures (sorry).  A gotta stop here place!

We decided to have a late breakfast at a locally owned restaurant.  Looked on line in Okeechobee and found lots to choose from, however this one had all the options we needed as some of us wanted a breakfast and others wanted a lunch.

We were quickly greeted when we entered by a friendly lady with a grand smile and helped us find a booth.  Our experienced waitress, Beatrice (I think is her name) took our beverage orders while explaining some of the menu options.  She returned quickly and took our orders, one of which has a very totally customized  sandwich which was taken without any hesitation.... AND the chief (not just a cook from all the great food preparation seen and tasted) cooked and prepared our orders to perfection AND QUICKLY!

During our enjoying our meal, we spilled a whole glass of water on the table.  Our waitress rushed over and without making any of us feel stupid, she cleaned up our mess with a smile and also mopped up the water on the floor so no one would slip.

100% totally recommend you and your family should drop by and enjoy some great hospitality with happy smiling faces serving up so real good tasting and large servings of food cooked to perfection, which was so good this writer forgot to take...

As I was seeking refuge from hurricane Ian and stuck in okeechobee because of road closures we decided to try this place out for a cup of coffee I decided I'd the biscuits and gravy something they claim as a specialty I was very excited for it was very plain sausage gravy with like 3 peice of sausage in it the biscuits were obviously Pillsbury biscuits the servers hardly checked on at all my friends asked for more coffee and the waitress rolled her eyes and rudely said OK within 3 minutes of paying 3 different waitress were being really pushy and we were just trying to enjoy are coffee and some time from outside of the van we spent the last 3 days in another waitress is asking if we want to-go cups so we say yes I then asked to speak to the manager I was directed to very rude waitress I then asked to speak to who I assume is the owner he was very kind and apologized

The part that hurt me the most is we love okeechobee we want to make it our home realy soon and when I was in that diner and watched how the staff was interacting with the residents it was like it was Andy Griffith show it was amazing but they have lots complaints for giving out towers a cold shoulder it sad very...

A Hidden Gem in Okeechobee - 5/5 Stars

Pogeys Family Restaurant is everything you want in a hometown diner. I stopped by for lunch on a Tuesday and was immediately impressed by how the staff managed to stay calm and efficient even during the busy lunch rush. The service was quick without feeling rushed, and the food was absolutely delicious.

What really stood out was the authentic diner atmosphere - this is clearly a local favorite, and you can feel that warm community vibe the moment you walk in. Despite being from across the state, I felt completely welcome and at home. The locals' loyalty to this place speaks volumes about the quality and consistency.

The food lived up to the reputation, with generous portions and that comfort food taste that keeps people coming back. If you're passing through Okeechobee or looking for a genuine local dining experience, Pogeys Family Restaurant is definitely worth a visit. It's the kind of place that reminds you why hometown diners are so special.

Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates good food, friendly service, and that authentic small-town...
