I rode here with a friend and may never be able to find it again, but everyone else seems to be able to because on a Monday afternoon, it was SWAMPED! The food is decent; it's down home cookin'. The service is ok; they were REALLY busy. The location is adorable, though, as is the inside of the restaurant. Sit... More

Used to eat here for lunch regularly untill I took another job out of town. Very good sandwitches and the red beans and rice are NOLA worthy. Proffits is out of the way near the Columbus Air Force Base situated by the aptly named Officer's Lake. Look for Officer's Lake Road sign and you will find it. Very popular with... More

Proffitts' Porch is difficult to find--located on a back road in the middle of a swamp between Columbus and the Air Force base--but it is worth the trouble. In the summer, you will eating on the porch and watching the hummingbirds. The Po Boys are good, but our favorite sandwich is the cold seafood pita.

Great atmosphere right on the river. Friendly staff. Lots of people enjoying themselves. Great food with a local flavor including killer red beans and rice and gumbo.

I have been several times for both lunch and dinner. Cool, fun atmosphere. Don't expect much from the food, but they do make some decent sandwiches. Kids love it. Sit outside if the weather allows.

food was decent. Cool environment - sit outside and watch TONS of hummingbirds. A nice experience - not top chef cuisine, but good.

I'm not sure what they do to their sandwiches but this isn't any ordinary sandwich. I almost always get the steak and cheese and a cup of red beans and rice which is absolutely delicious! My friend always gets the club and a bowl of gumbo and says it’s great also. The service is typically slow and not always the... More

The Porch overlooks Officers Lake and many times you will see couples strolling on the sandy beach or a group of children playing while the family finishes their meal. My favorite is the 'Seafood on French', but I hear great things about the 'Cam' and their kumbac sauce is 'to die for'. The chocolate chip pie is the absolute best.

I can't say enough good things about this place. I dine here frequently and get the same great quality food and service. The 'Cam' sandwich is to die for! If you like Gumbo, you won't be disappointed. They serve beer and have indoor and outdoor seating with a scenic view of the lake. They will go out of their way... More

We ordered the BLT (huge and full of bacon and fabulous homemade ranch dressing!), smoked turkey, seafood on French with kumbac sauce. All three were very good! The red beans and rice was nicely seasoned and the slice of homemade chocolate chip pie ( hot and topped with real whipped cream) was awesome! You can eat inside or on the... More
