Our Story
A Soulful Table in the Heart of Waycross
Pop Bellies Steak & Grill was born from a simple idea: serve the food we grew up loving, in a room that feels like Sunday dinner with a side of celebration.
Founded by the Mitchell Family
CEO Jessica Mitchell and CFO Danny Mitchell built Pop Bellies on hospitality, hard work, and a love for fresh seafood and proper Southern cooking. You'll often find one of them on the floor — saying hello, refilling sweet tea, and making sure every guest leaves full and smiling.
From the snow crab legs to the collard greens, every plate carries a piece of the Mitchell family story.
