My name is Katherine Litsey. My kids and I had the lunch special and ordered fried pickles. All they were so dang good. This is the best place to get your lunch on ever! The lady up front I believe her name was Vickey was super friendly and didn’t mind answering any questions we had. The customer service is the best we have ever had. She made us feel welcomed and taken care of and the cooks did an outstanding job. The manager Marc is always so nice altho we didn’t see him this time around. The bathrooms and dining area is impeccably clean. The smell is amazing walking in the door. Ponko needs to be everyone go to for amazing food and outstanding service

Awesome spot with a great menu. Lunch special might be some of the best value for money in the city. 5 tenders, white rice, sauce and a drink for 10. The chicken was flavorful, light and cooked well. Definitely a must check out.

Unbelievably delicious food, fabulous and friendly service, and an amazing experience! I walked in and wanted to challenge the quote on the wall, "literally the best chicken on the ENTIRE planet!" But I can't! It IS literally the BEST chicken I've ever had! Best. Chicken. Ever.

The service Mark provided for me and my family as first time guests was excellent. The food is really good as well, the chicken sandwich was very tasty. I would really recommend this to anyone in the area!!

Stopped on a whim on the way home from vacation. Amazing customer service! Very clean and the grilles chicken was out out this world! The manager was super helpful and patient. This kind of reminded us of a meal we had in San Diego. Everything was super fresh and healthy. Highly recommend will definitely stop again on our way down.

Wow! Soooo good! Arrived late to Auburn for my 1st trip ever and used Google to see what food was near me. So glad I chose Ponko! Highly recommend the plate in OG with rice and green beans.
