Review & FAQ:
For a long time, Cherry Pocket Steak & Seafood Shak, snuggled in a ‘pocket’ of land between the canals near Lake Wales, Florida, was a place for crusty fishermen to hang out, tell tall stories and drink beer. Rumor has it that at times there have been cock-fighting, gambling, gator wrestling and who knows what else. The place changed hands, going from one colorful character to another until, about 20 years ago, Richard and Elsie took over and made it into a family-friendly restaurant and full bar. It is still rustic, colorful and quirky but the food is prepared from daily catch, and the meat and produce are the highest quality and prepared to order for each customer. There is a board with daily specials, usually the best option. Leave some space for Elsie’s famous desserts. Cherry Pocket also has fish camp and RV attached.
